Happy Valley –Part 1-Colby and Pete
Colby is looking over figures for her store in her office in the store.
“I don’t understand this how can it be still in the red we had terrific sales last week. How am I to finish my designing degree when I have to handle stuff like this?’ complains Colby loudly to herself
“Ms. Chandler we have a little bit of a crisis in the store!’ says the woman coming into Colby’s office
“Melanie it is polite to knock you know! What is this crisis now I have class in an hour!’says Colby
“The manager Elaine hasn’t showed up I think she got a better job because she called in sick Saturday, Sunday and Monday!’ says Melanie
“Oh great that’s wonderful! Like I didn’t have enough on my plate! You want to be manager Melanie? You get a raise a little more responsibility but your salary is better it’s a lot better than minimum wage!’ asks Colby off the cuff
“I don’t have an experience Ms.Chandler !I mean this is my first job! Are you sure?’ asks Melanie
“Sure I mean how hard can it be you just make sure everybody gets schedule and comes in .You can do that right? Oh Yes and you make sure all the orders come in and the stock gets out and recorded for my records. You can handle that right? asks Colby
“Yes,think so!’ says Melanie who doesn’t really sound so sure
“Good you’re in charge while I go to school I be back here! Oh and can you hire another sales clerk to take over your job!’Says Colby as she leaves the store
“Oh dear ! This sure is a lot of work I don’t know how I’m going to fit it in !I’ve got Ricks’ party tomorrow ,Sherrisha’s Wednesday, Meg’s Thursday, Patricia’s on Friday !I’m not staying late! Hey wait a minute I’m the boss now aren’t and boss do what’s that word dell gate” Yes let some other poor sap miss the parties with my new salary I can score some real good blow for the partee!This girl is moving up in the world !’says Melanie to herself after Colby leaves
Flash to Pete’s office at Chandler
“I thought my Dad had left me in charge! What do you mean that you’re in charge?’Pete is shouting
“Pete I’ve been out of touch for a few months I didn’t know about that will and apparently the lawyer wasn’t able to reach me. Dad put in a contingency plan that you would be told you were in charge. I’m sorry for this deception it wasn’t my idea’ says the other person as the camera pans and we see Ross Chandler
“I thought he believed in me that he finally believed that I was an intelligent capable businessman instead I was a stand-in for you!’ says Pete hurt
“It’s not like that Pete! Dad still wanted you to stay on at Cortlandt as Vice President!’ offers Ross
‘Right tell me another one this is you throwing me a bone!’ says Pete
“Peter you went to business school! You have a BMA in business! You’ve kept our company in the black for the months it took the lawyers took to find me! Any company would be lucky to have you working for them!’ says Ross councillatory
“Right!I’m so great that Dad gave you Cortlandt!’says Pete bitterly
“Pete I know this is been a terrible blow to you don’t do anything rash!’ says Ross
“Rash?RASH I’ll give you rash !I quit!’ says Pete
“Pete, please reconsider were brothers!”says Ross
“Ross I’ve seen you about what three times in my life! Dad hardly ever talked about you and yet he gives you the company that I sweat blood and tears for! Am I suppose to be happy about this and say here have the company I’ll be your subordinate!’ asks Pete ”I Quit!’
