Working title: "Big Business Can Take It" or maybe "CEOs can Take It"

 

It's the eve of another calamitous day on Wall Street, or just some business building, and a few all night shifters and a CEO are all that populate the place.  Through a series of vignettes and narration, we're introduced to these characters and eventually the CEO who's standing at the edge of the building about to jump.  But the other workers stop him and decide to take the fall for him (committing suicide themselves) and help is on the way in the form of "bailout bombers" who will drop crates of cash.

 

The story is nonlinear and we've already seen his body about to hit the ground and flying through the air--foreshadowing his suicide.  But rather than him killing himself, which is what is expected, he's saved and the CEO gets off well in the end.  Ah the irony.

 

It's a dark comedy.

 

I've also considered turning it into a somber musical at the end where each worker is independently singing the same song (sort of like in Magnolia).

 

Most of it seems pretty doable, the only thing I wasn't sure of was if we could get shots of bombers dropping crates of cash.

 

 

Length varies on each and can probably be adjusted if necessary.
