dooR-MAN
You guys see where that kid went? Little shit ran right past me at the podium.

The kid runs over to a loose A/C vent-cover on wall. Kid pushes vent cover to the side and crawls in.
DooR-MAN
Goddamn-it.
cLAIRE
It's just a kid man. Who cares if he sneaks in. What's the big deal?

Big deal is there's a kid crawling around in a vent. If he gets hurt or anything. I could get sued or fired for this shit. Fuck!
Claire
Crawl on in there.
dooR-MAN
I can't fit in that shit.
Door-Man and Clair look to Drew.
Drew
No way man!
