CEO of Cut & Paste
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, after a long period of deliberation in our company's management, we have decided that, for the sake of the company, its shareholders, and for the well-being of its employess, we must transfer the entire company, from top management down to the last employee, offshore.
Whispers spread through the audience as they hear the speaker's words.
CEO OF CUT & PASTE
The government's tax policy is hurting those who are still willing to work here. Our company consists of strong secondary sectors that thrive on the expense of others. The powerful lobby of those in the legislative body hinders us, the industrialists, all the manufacturers in the economy, from acting. The government's tax policy is making work in this country uneconomical.
INT. EVENING. HALF-DARK PUB IN TEL AVIV.
Employees of Cut & Paste are standing and sitting around several tables in the pub, preoccupied and cheerful, facing a giant television screen. Most of them wear shirts with the company logo, and some have buttons attached to their shirt pockets, indicating their choice for the upcoming elections. All their faces are fixated on the live broadcast of their CEO. As he ascends the stage, they applaud and raise their beer glasses. One of them stands, takes a sip from his large beer mug, and when he finally lowers the cup, foam streaks his beard as he wipes off the white froth. Two employees enthusiastically embrace in a fervent French kiss with each other.
