INT. OFFICES OF WERTSHAFTER CPA & ASSOCIATES
TED SCHMIDT CPA, who has been fired by his boss for non-business use of the Internet on the job after 9 years with the firm, is about to leave the premises forever with his Mr. Coffee and a few personal effects in a box.
MR. WERSHAFTER
Schmidt?
TED
Yes, sir?
MR. WERSHAFTER
One more thing. Are you happy being an accountant?
TED
Happy?
MR. WERSHAFTER
Does balancing the books makes your heart beat faster?
Bummed out Ted takes a moment to contemplate the question. He sighs.
TED
No, sir, not really.
MR. WERSHAFTER
Then, I am doing you a favor. Next time find yourself something you have a passion for. Otherwise, you are just jerking yourself off.
