Octobers Children Pilot
Jordan King-Lacroix for Conrad Fielding
a somewhat reserved, bookish sort in his mid-thirties with an academic’s enunciation
OLLIE
Coming right up. So what’s the good
word?
CONRAD
Oh, nothing all that exciting. Bit
of a to-do over at one of the dorms
last night. Something about turning
an unused steam tube into a four-story
water-pipe?
CONRAD
According to the bursar at Wolfbrook
Community College, who is as charming
and as generous a despot as one might
imagine, that dollar is worth slightly
more than five minutes of my life.
OLLIE
That’s right, blame it on the late stage
Capitalist dystopia.
CONRAD
I’m only teaching three courses this
semester, Ollie. But if it helps I’ll
see if I can find out the name of the
person behind the multi-story...drug
paraphernalia.
Conrad is fine, really, I’m just an adjunct.
