ACT I
Scene 1
A conference room at the Worthington Robotics Company. A table is set center stage with three chairs around it.
AT RISE: MS. WHITMAN and LONNIE are sitting next to each other at the table. They are working on their laptops. Files and manuals are visible on the table along with a landline phone. SAM knocks on the door and bursts into the room.
MS. WHITMAN

SAM
(Animated and bigger than life)

(Claps her hands)

(Holds out her arms)
Yikes, don’t try to stop me.
MRS WHITMAN
Samantha…
