　　EVELYN
　　Sorry， very busy today. No time to help youAlpha Waymond covers Evelyn’s mouth.
　　ALPHA WAYMOND
　　There is a great evil that has taken root in my world and has begun spreading its chaos throughout the many verses. I have spent years searching for the one who might be able to match this great evil with an even greater good and bring back balance. All those years of searching have brought me here. To this universe. To you.
　　Evelyn takes a moment to digest this information.
　　ALPHA WAYMOND （CONT.） （CONT’D）
　　I know it’s a lot to take in right now but I need you to- （continues to speak indiscernibly）
　　DEIRDRE （O.S.）
　　Mrs. Wang…… Hello？
　　
　　16-1 INT. CUBICLE: Alpha Waymond’s voice fades away and the splitscreen focuses on the tax meeting as Evelyn takes control of her body there.
　　DEIRDRE （CONT’D）
　　Mrs. Wang， I’m sure you have a lot on your mind， but I cannot imagine anything mattering more than this conversation we are having right now concerning your tax liability.
　　Need I remind you there is a lien on your property？ Repossession is well within our rights.
　　EVELYN
　　I know. I am paying attention.
　　DEIRDRE
　　You think I’m stupid.
　　EVELYN
　　你不是嗎？
　　EVELYN
　　Maybe？
　　Waymond puts his hand on her lap. Deirdre is clearly frustrated. She gestures to a small shelf of trophies that Say “Auditor of the Month”.

　　DEIRDRE
　　You see these？ You don’t get one of these unless you’ve seen a lot of shit. Pardon my French. You might only see a pile of boring forms and numbers， but I can see a story.
　　With nothing but a stack of receipts， I can trace the ups and downs of your lives. I can see where this story’s going and it doesn’t look good.
　　WAYMOND
　　Sorry， my wife confuses her hobbies for businesses. An honest mistake.
　　Evelyn looks at her husband， hurt. He ignores her.
　　DEIRDRE
　　With this many ’honest mistakes， ’
　　even if you aren’t charged with fraud， we’ll have to fine you for ross negligence.
　　EVELYN
　　You’re always trying to confuse us with these words.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Didn’t you say you’d bring your daughter to translate？
　　ALPHA WAYMOND （O.S.）
　　Hey! Are you paying attention？
　　
　　16 INT. JANITOR’S CLOSET: Evelyn’s attention is back in the closet where Alpha Waymond is perturbed.
　　EVELYN
　　I cannot talk now. Unless， you can help my taxes. What is “gross necklaces-”
　　Waymond grabs her by the shoulders and pulls her in.
　　ALPHA WAYMOND
　　I know you have a lot of things on your mind， but nothing could possibly matter more than this
　　conversation we are having right now concerning the fate of every single world of our infinite
　　multiverse.
　　（he leans in）
　　ALPHA WAYMOND （CONT’D）
　　My dear Evelyn， I know you. With every passing moment， you fear that you might have missed your chance to make something of your life.
　　Well I’m here to tell you every rejection， every disappointment has led you here. To this moment. Don’t
　　let anything distract you from it.
　　Evelyn turns towards these words like a flower to the sun.
　　
　　16-1 INT. CUBICLE: [SPLIT SCREEN] Evelyn smiles.

　　Waymond sits up and begins talking to Deirdre during the following scene-
　　
　　16 INT. JANITOR’S CLOSET: A loud BOOM shakes the door. Someone is trying to get in.
　　
　　ALPHA WAYMOND
　　Our time here is up. They are going to kill us.
　　EVELYN
　　What？!
　　Evelyn defensively grabs a broomstick. Another BOOM.
　　ALPHA WAYMOND
　　Do not worry， this is just a burner
　　universe we are using for
　　communication.
　　A fist bursts through the door， grabbing his face.
　　ALPHA WAYMOND （CONT’D）
　　（calmly）
　　You will know when it is time to fight. I will be in contact soon.
　　Trust no one.
　　EVELYN
　　Shhhh， I think my other husband is messing up the auditAnother fist bursts through. Both hands grab hold of his head and SNAP HIS NECK. He falls over dead.
　　The hands open the door. They belong to Deirdre， who now wears her own pair of earpieces， and has a MESSY SHARPIE
　　CIRCLE scrawled across her forehead. She rips a metal pipe from the wall.
　　EVELYN （CONT’D）
　　No! NO! NO!
　　Deirdre hits Evelyn across the face with a deadly KLUNK.
　　As her head snaps to the side， the split screen swings away-
　　
　　17 INT. IRS 10TH FLOOR - CUBICLE
　　
　　Evelyn’s head snaps to the side as she leaps to her feet.
　　EVELYN
　　NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
　　She opens her eyes and realizes she is still in the audit.
　　Everyone in the office is looking at her.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Good lord.
　　WAYMOND
