SOMA | The Meme Dump

NICK

Yes, LG!

LEONARD

We could give the actors some of the new Soma samples. Maybe coach them on how to evangelize the product.

NICK

No! No. Too contrived. We’re just editing this story, not writing it.

Who’s that burnout that works in the I.T. department?

LEONARD

ThoMas?

NICK

Yeah, that Thermos person. He’s a druggie. Give the Soma to him.

Let him know Levon... er... The Mycelium’s backstory. But be subtle! Remember the talking points. Modern shaman, leading a movement of anticorporate consciousness expansion...

LEONARD

Soma is a natural life enhancement. Organic. Locally grown.

NICK

Yadda yadda yadda...

Nick pokes at his phone.

LEONARD

That's inspired thinking, Nick. ThoMas is generous with drugs at parties. Oh! We have an incoming call from our district's Cleaner.

NICK

Fuckin' LB. I don’t want to talk to him.

LEONARD

He's already filed a formal request with Central Computer.
