How I Got Fired – Jail Scene (2️⃣)

Synopsis

(2-Character Version) Trapped in a holding cell on what should be the most important day of his career, a fast-talking financial advisor waits to be processed for a minor but humiliating arrest. As he spars verbally with his cellmate—whose streetwise logic clashes sharply with his corporate mindset—he struggles to reconcile the absurdity of his situation with the high-stakes opportunity slipping away outside the bars. What begins as a tense inconvenience quickly turns into a comedic examination of status, masculinity, and self-worth, as the protagonist realizes that professional success and personal value aren’t always as tightly linked as he believed. Set entirely within a jail cell, the scene blends sharp dialogue and irony to expose how easily perceived power can disappear—and how perspective can shift in the most unlikely places.
