FADE IN:
EXT. SUNNY BACKYARD - DAY
A bright, cheerful backyard. TIMMY, a bright-eyed boy in overalls, paints a white picket fence. A can of paint labeled "100% Lead-Based" sits nearby. The sound of birds chirping is interrupted by a booming voice.
NARRATOR (V.O.) "Hey there, Timmy!"
TIMMY "Holy mackerel, mister! You scared the jeepers out of me!"
NARRATOR "How'd you like to take a break from that fine lead-based paint and learn about becoming an insurance agent? It's the easiest career in the world!"
TIMMY "Boy, would I!"
INT. MODERN OFFICE - DAY
The bustling office is full of people typing furiously on laptops, shouting into Bluetooth headsets, and flipping through stacks of papers. TIMMY's jaw drops.
TIMMY "Where am I, mister?"
NARRATOR "You're in the glamorous world of insurance sales, Timmy! This is where dreams come true.. if your dreams involve endless paperwork, meeting quotas, and trying to explain coverage details to people who think you're scamming them."
TIMMY scratches his head, looking confused.
TIMMY "Wow, that sounds... rewarding?"
NARRATOR "Of course it is! All you need to do is pass an easy licensing exam that's only slightly harder than learning ancient Greek, memorize every detail of countless policy types, and stay compliant with regulations that change faster than you can say 'deductible.'"
TIMMY "Gee, mister, it sounds a little complicated..."
Suddenly, a door BURSTS OPEN. MARK T. BROKER, a tall, charismatic man with perfectly styled hair and a dazzling cape, strides in. His name tag reads: "MARK T. BROKER – SEVEN-TIME CALIFORNIA INSURANCE ALL-STAR"
MARK: "Hang on a second there, sport."
TIMMY's jaw drops in awe.
TIMMY "MARK T. BROKER?!"
NARRATOR "That's right, Timmy. Mark T. Broker, Seven-Time California Insurance All-Star, is here to take you the rest of the way."
TIMMY (clapping his hands) "Jeepers. Really?!"
MARK kneels down to TIMMY's level, giving him a confident pat on the shoulder.
MARK "You betcha, champ. Becoming an insurance agent is a breeze. First, just pass that little licensing exam and then immediately start convincing strangers to trust you with their financial security. Easy as pie!"
TIMMY straightens up, his confidence growing.
TIMMY "Thanks, Mark! I can't wait to start my own insurance agency."
MARK stands, gesturing broadly to the office around them.
MARK "Attaboy, Tiger. All you have to do is master cold-calling, build a client list from scratch, navigate endless policy options, and never, ever mess up a single detail... because then you'll get sued. To be an all-star, just remember the five pillars of risk management: Accept, avoid, transfer, mitigate, and .... accept."
NARRATOR (V.O.) Till next time, this is Mark T. Broker signing off, and remember 'Insurance is easy—if you don't think about it too hard!'
The scene FREEZES as MARK smiles at the camera. Cheery music swells as the screen fades to black, displaying:
