Fired (2010) Movie Script

1
Do we really have to fire..?
121 employees out of
137 in the London office.
So that is integral to my plan.
Have you thought of
the negative publicity?
In this day and age of economic
downturns and recession, sir..
..I think we can spin this.
We can sell the story.

Cheryl?

(Groaning)
(Breathing Heavily)
(Thunder Rumbling)
(Beeping)
(Banging)
Should have fired you as well.
You can stay.
(Moans)
Sorry, Chief. Just locking up.
Incidentally, Chief. Congratulations!
Is everybody gone?
- Yes, sir.
Only Anuj sir is in his cabin.
In his ex-cabin.
Check over there too.
As you say, sir.
(Knock On Door)
Joy.
I'm still the boss.
For the next couple of minutes.
Does it give you a warm
fuzzy feeling to fire 121 people..
..including your own mentor.
I'm sorry. What can I do?
What can you do?
You've done it all.
All the best for your future.
Thank you, sir.

Damn it!
Hello.
Hello, sir.
Are you there?
There's a call from ma'am.
Mrs. Mittal.
Hello
I was calling your mobile
but it's unreachable.
I don't know.
Oh! It's dead.
Tell me.
Did you do it?
Did you fire all your staff?
Yes, I did.
Even Ruby?
Yes, Ruby too.
And I fired 120 others along with her.
You want all their
names and designations?
Shall I list them?
Is this what you called for?
Listen. I was phoning to remind
you to take your medicines, okay.
Yeah, yeah, okay. Bye.
(Phone Beeps)
Let's get this done
and get out of here.
(Keyboard Clacking)
(Indistinct Conversations)
The rumors that you hear..
All the rumors you've
been listening to..
..they are true.
An Indian multinational
OFS has taken over us..
..and they've made me..
..group CEO.
But they have some conditions.
They won't be able to keep you.
You have to understand, it's not you.
We, the whole Company
is being downsized.
I don't get this.
What do you mean, they cannot keep me?
You're fired.
Joy, how could you do this?
(Camera Clicks)
I love you.
No, you don't.
Of course, I do.
I'm going to look
after you like an angel.
(Door Opens)
Thank you, Arnold.
Crap!

Come on out!
(Photocopy Machine Sound)
(Photocopy Machine Sound)
This is not Thomas.
He's not bright enough for this.
Who is this?
Who is this?
(Music Playing)
Crap!
You think this is funny?
So, big frickin' deal!
You guys know about Ruby and me.
Big deal!
That's good!
That's good!
It's very funny.
(Phone Ringing)
Guard, come up!
What is the matter, sir?
What do you mean, what is the matter?
Come up!
Someone is in the office!
He even has a key to my cabin!
Get up here!
Jeez!
Hi.
Sit down, darling.
Sit.
Does it mean..
..you are doing this?
The doll.
Coffee. Photocopying machine.
You know I didn't
do anything deliberately.
Look, I'm really sorry.
It's okay. I mean.
Look.. Sit down.
Sit down. Sit down.
I've got great plans for you.
I've got great plans for you.
But first, your favorite espresso.
Guess who has a new espresso machine.
You know I had no choice, Ruby.
Look, I have a batch mate.
Garodia.
In Excel group.
Meet him.
Wait and watch. If you don't
get a better job in two days..
Ruby?
(Phone Ringing)
Guard. You're still over there.
I called you up.
Chief, I was doing paperwork.
To hell with your paperwork!
Do you know Ms.
Harmison was in the office?
Ms. Harmison?
I did not see anyone, sir.
I made a mistake
firing only 121 people.
I should have fired 122 people!
Listen to me.
If I see another ex-employee
in the office again..
..you will not be see after tomorrow!
- Yes, sir.
I'm coming, sir.
Get up here!
(Alarms Wailing)
Shut up!
Damn!
Damn it!
Joy.
No.
(Screaming)
God!
Calm down.
Just relax.
Well, the good news is you
have no symptoms of brain tumor..
..but the bad news is, that you're
suffering from acute depression.
I'm going to prescribe Zapro for you..
..which is a strong muscle relaxant.
My advice to you would be to take
a few of weeks off and just chill.
Relax.
Take your wife on a vacation.
Let's keep my wife out of it, Doctor.
There's too much going
on in the office anyway.
What do you mean hallucinations?
It's impossible!
And bloody realistic.
If this was a deluded then...
Okay.
Come on.
Come on, Joy.
(Screaming)
I should not have
taken the medicine again.
I should not have taken this again.

(Phone Ringing)
Good evening, Chief.
Actually..
..I should be saying goodnight.
It must be pretty late over there.
I faxed you the requirement of the
Bombay and the National Stock Exchange.
Yes, Chief.
I received the faxes. Yes.
In fact I was about
to leave the office..
..so shall I email
you the reports again?
We need to file it before
10 AM Indian Standard Time.
The legal guys have been
waiting to review the same, okay.
We need it ASAP.
Yes.
In about 30 minutes.
Joy, I'm sorry but we don't
have even 30 minutes. Okay?
By right now I mean right now.
I have kept all the secretarial
staff back over here.
Yes. That's right.
Okay, Chief.
I shall email it now..
..in five minutes.
- That's great!
Incidentally, I hope you are okay.
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine, Chief.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Alright. Bye.
Goodnight.
Crap!
(Phone Ringing)
Crap!
What? What is it?
- What's your problem, Joy?
Is this he way to talk to your
wife or anyone else for that matter?
I mistakenly took a double
dose of my medicine, okay?
Strange things are
happening with me here.
What is the matter?!
There has been a car
accident near your office.
Have you seen the news on TV?
What?
Have you seen the news
of the car accident on TV or not?
Do you think I sit
here watching the TV?
I am watching the bloody television?!
I am telling you strange
things are happening with me here.
You're impossible, Joy!
Just forget it.
A head was recovered from
nearby after a thorough search.
Okay.
Okay.
Let it go through.
Go through.
Go through! Damn it!

The doll had burned by coffee..
..but it wasn't coffee. It was acid.
Sir. - And it was in a tea cup.
You are alone in such a big office.
You are deluded.
Come with me, sir. Let's go to
the security room and check the CCTV.
Everything will be clear.

If anyone is here, we will know.
