SOUND: GLASSES CLINK, CHAIRS CREAK, SLIGHT WHISPERING HUBUB IN BACKGROUND. MEETING ROOM.

| Macbeth: | ...and I think that proves that our company is the very best option for you.

|
| All: | General laughter.
|
| Banquo: | (LOW) Phew!

SCENE II
SOUND: TWO SETS OF FOOTSTEPS ON CARPET
|
| Macbeth: | That was pretty tough, but I think we got them in the end.
|
| Banquo: | YOU got them - it was you who swung the deal. You really sold it to them.
|
| Macbeth: | Yes, I suppose so... I think your jokes helped.
FOOTSTEPS STOP
Er, excuse me, ladies?
|
| Banquo: | Could we get past please? You're blocking the corridor.
|
| Witch one: | (SULTRY) Not so fast, sunshine.
|
| Witch two: | Ah, Macbeth! Darling of the sales department!
|
| Witch three: | You're going far, my dear. Enjoy the view from your desk.
|
| Macbeth: | View? Of the airconditioning unit?
|
| Witch one: | Just you wait and see. And don't forget us when you're running the place!
|
| Macbeth | (CONFUSED) When I'm... what? But Duncan's the boss - he's not going anywhere.
|
| Witch two | Oh and Banquo? Those trainees of yours have a bright, bright future.
|
| | SOUND: SWOOOSH!
