By

Kevin Corrigan, Brian Murphy & Caldwell Tanner

          INT. OFFICE WATERCOOLER

          TODD, RICHARD and SHEILA stand by the watercooler under a
          "HAPPY NEW YEAR" banner. Everyone wears party hats.

                              TODD
                    My New Year's resolution is to
                    clean the garage. There's too much
                    clutter.

          CRAIG enters.

                              TODD
                    Hey Craig, you gonna stay up to see
                    the meteor drop for once?

          Everyone laughs.

                              CRAIG
                    Lay off, Todd. I'm not missing the
                    end of the Triassic period. I'm
                    gonna stay up later than any of you
                    bozos!

                              SHEILA
                    You're on! Ready, set, go!

          Timer appears on bottom right that says 7:00. They stand
          around awkwardly for a long beat.

          INT. BREAK ROOM

          Richard and Craig talk. Richard is extremely hyper. He can't
          stay still. Timer now reads 8:00.

                              RICHARD
                    SEE CRAIG THE KEY TO STAYING AWAKE
                    IS EATING COFFEE AND DRINKING
                    CANDY. COFFEE. CANDY. CANDY.
                    COFFEE. WOO!

                              CRAIG
                    Aren't you worried about crashing?

          Reveal Richard on the ground snoring.

          INT. SHEILA'S CUBICLE

          Sheila and Craig. Craig sneezes. Timer reads 10:00.

                              SHEILA
                    Craig do you want some of my sinus
                    medication? I'm concerned for you.

          Sheila hands him a box.

                              CRAIG
                    Wait, did you take this? It's
                    drowzy.

          We see the label.

                              SHEILA
                    Oh noooooooooo.

          Sheila's voice slows down and she falls asleep onto Craig.

          INT. WATER COOLER

          Timer reads 11:58. Craig and Todd stand by a TV.

                              CRAIG
                    It's just you and me. What's your
                    strategy?

          Todd holds up a book.

                              TODD
                    I'm reading a Clive Cusslersaurus
                    novel. It's an action-packed thrill
                    ride from start to finish.

          Todd reads for a beat. Timer reads 11:59.

                              TODD
                    And done. Uh oh.

          Todd falls asleep. Craig turns to the TV.

                              ANNOUNCER (O.S.)
                    The meteor is almost here! 3, 2, 1
                    Happy-

          We hear a terrible explosion and screams from the TV.

                              CRAIG
                    I did it! Craig! Craig! Craig!

                                                     DISSOLVE TO:

          INT. CRAIG'S CUBICLE

          POV Craig. His eyes open. Todd, Richard and Sheila are
          looking down at him.

                              SHEILA
                    Craig. Craig.

                              CRAIG
                    Oh no. Did I sleep through New
                    Year's?

                              TODD
                    It's Monday morning. You slept
                    through the entire holiday weekend.

                              CRAIG
                    Ugh. I don't even feel rested.
