  • INT. BED ROOM-MORNING

  • Bradly shoots out of bed to the ring of the alarm clock.

  • He hastily gets dressed and starts yelling.

  • BRADLY
  • Did you get make coffe yet Mandy?

  • No response.

  • BRADLY
  • How many times do I have to remind you!

  • VOICE OFFSCREEN
  • Get your own coffee.

  • Bradly storms into the kitchen half dressed and with his fist raised. Upon upon entering he sees himself.

  • He stands there staring at himself, there is a bruise under the eye of his replica.

  • BRADLY 2(female voice)
  • Can't you do anything yourself for once? I work to ya know.

  • Bradly shakes his head and blinks his eyes.

  • He runs out of the house and drives off in his car.

  • INT. LOBBY ENTRANCE-MORNING

  • Bradly, groggy from his lack of morning coffee fumbles through his pocket s and finally pulls out a small, white card. he slides it through the sensor and the door opens.

  • INT. LOBBY-MORNING

  • Bradly steps into the lobby. The secratary is himself, dressed in a business skirt.

  • BRADLY 3 (female voice)
  • Don't even ask me about coffee. I'm sick of being your slave.

  • Bradly is silent, staring at himself.

  • BRADLY
  • What the hell is going on here?

  • Bradly 3 gives Brad an ackward look. Bradly walks to the call center.

  • INT. CALL CENTER-MORNING

  • Bradly rushes to his cubicle. He dives into the chair and pulls out his cell phone. He presses a button on the phone and peeks his head over the cubicle wall.

  • There is no answer; he curses. A hand taps him on the shoulder.

  • He turns around and sees himself wearing a tag that reads: Gary Lockwood, Supervisor.

  • BRADLY 4 (Bradley's voice)
  • We're going to need to talk. None of these spreadsheets match last weeks logs. And some of the other members of the team have been complaining about your attitude.

  • Bradly screams, and jumps up from his chair. People stop and stare, all Bradly. He sees them and dashes for the door. It's locked. He nervously fumbles for his card, and finally pulls it out, but there is no sensor on the door.

  • Bradly turns around to see a large group of his replicas walking towards him, stone faced.

  • Bradly screams and pounds on the door; the crowd pushes in closer only a few feet from him.

  • Bradly screams louder as the push in against him, calling his name repeatedely. They use their fists on his back and head, beating him to the ground and continually calling his name like zombies. He falls to the ground and tries to shield himself.

  • INT. BED ROOM-MORNING

  • Bradly wakes up in a sweat. He rubs his eyes and shuts off the alarm clock. he slowly gets dressed and wanders into the kitchen.

  • INT. KITCHEN-MORNING

  • Bradly walks past Mandy, and pecks her on the cheek. There is a bruise under her eye. He pulls coffee filters out of a cabinet.

  • Mandy jumps up from the table, and grabs the filter from Bradly, and places it inside the coffee maker.

  • MANDY
  • Sorry honey, I woke up late. I won't let it happen again.

  • Bradly's eyes tear; he truns to his wife to give her a kiss but she flinches.

  • BRADLY
  • Never again.

  • Mandy stares at Bradly.

  • BRADLY
  • No one will ever hurt you again, I promise.

  • FADE TO BLACK
