INT. WGA HEADQUARTERS – EVENING
WGA West President Patric Verrone standing on stage in front of an orange velvet curtain anxiously checking his blackberry. WGA East president Michael Winship enters from off stage, hands Patric a slip of paper. The two exchange nods. Both Michael and Patric give one another a relieved, almost excited smile. Patric now turns and positions himself behind a podium line with a bank of microphones. The room erupts with camera flashes as Patric speaks.
PATRIC
