The scene:
A college news room. The walls are painted a violent yellow/orange. Two female students sit, CAROL is laying out pages on a laptop, the single working computer in the room, irritated at not being as proficient in Quark as in InDesign. SARAH, her editor, is trying to write a headline for a story on a cancer survivor who invented a line of beauty products for women who are undergoing chemotherapy. The clock struck midnight some time ago.
SARAH: Beauty in Cancer? Ergh, that's not right.
CAROL: Don't say cancer in the main head, save it for the subhead.
SARAH: You're right.
A few minutes go by
CAROL: All my ideas are really lame. Lotion of Hope?
SARAH: Laughs, really really hard
CAROL: I warned you.
Carol finishes her layout work, and is finally happy with it.
CAROL: Okay, I'm turning in. Good luck.
SARAH: Thanks. I'm almost done.
CAROL leaves, then runs back in a minute later.
CAROL: Beautiful Solutions: Products sooth harsh realities of cancer
SARAH: YES!
