[INTERIOR: An SG room in Wallace Wurth. Group members sit down for the first time to discuss the draft of their project<\/em>].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY (dressed in hospital clothes with her tag on, despite it being a uni day<\/em>): Hello. I just wanted to let you all know that this is an open forum.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER STUDENT: Yeah, I was thinki-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY (continuing without interruption<\/em>): AS <\/em>I was saying, an open forum. I don\u2019t want anyone to hesitate to share their feelings or ideas.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[The group begins looking at the document together. <\/em>MIKE suggests adjusting some subheadings<\/em>.]
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: Look, we\u2019re a team. I mean, honestly, I have so much on my plate, I\u2019m already juggling my extra-curricular research\u2026 we can\u2019t keep adding your ideas. I need you to compromise.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIKE: Oh yeah, I just thou-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY (continuing<\/em>): Great, I\u2019m glad we can all agree. Now, on the issue of your reflection, Mike. I mean, of course, there are some problems, but I think it has real potential.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIKE: Oh-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: I\u2019ve just made some small adjustments!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PATRICE: I thought Mike\u2019s reflection was pretty goo-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: Nobody asked you Patrice!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[PATRICE remains silent for the rest of the proceedings<\/em>].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[TIME PASSES. The group looks at the revised reflection<\/em>].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIKE: Uh, Cathy? This is\u2026 an entirely new reflection.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: But you contributed so much to the ideas!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAVID: We should really split up the workload-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: Yes, that is a fantastic idea! I\u2019ve allocated new roles with descriptions on the doc.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAVID: Oh, should we discu-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: All right guys, great meeting, I\u2019m so proud of you all for your effort. Remember to make those changes! Okay, we\u2019ll meet next week. I gotta run to the research lab now so bye!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[CUT TO INTERIOR: The foyer of Wallace Worth. <\/em>CATHY speaks to the camera as she shares her opinion on group work.<\/em>]
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: I mean, I give and give and give. What more can I do? I just try to be positive in the face of it all\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER (muffled, from behind the camera<\/em>): Do you have any response to group mates who may call you things like\u2026 intense?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: Me, intense?! I’m the chillest person ever! I do two hours of yoga every morning and practise mindfulness every evening before bed!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[CUT TO INTERIOR: Still in the group project room. Group members sit around, all staring at their computers, some looking stunned and some tapping away at their keyboards<\/em>].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: Hey, we\u2019re running a story on group projects. We were wondering if any of you wanted to be interviewed about working with Cathy?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[No one responds<\/em>].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: Um, hello? Thoughts about Cathy?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[PATRICE starts mumbling<\/em>. Camera moves closer<\/em>.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: I\u2019m sorry, what was that?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PATRICE (whispering catatonically<\/em>): She knows things<\/em>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Brief pause. Camera then swings across to <\/em>DAVID].
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: Okay, do you have anything to – ?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAVID: Nah mate, you\u2019re joking. Standing up to those people is more trouble than it\u2019s worth. [throws up a peace sign.<\/em>] I say ride it out, then get out!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Camera shakes as the <\/em>INTERVIEWER nods, then swings across the room again. It pans past <\/em>MIKE crying in a corner and settles on\u2026 another group member, one we haven\u2019t seen before, working on their computer<\/em>.]
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: And what about you? What are your thoughts on Cathy?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Another pause. After a moment, <\/em>RANDOM GROUP MEMBER seems to notice that there\u2019s a camera on them. They look up, pulling their earphones out<\/em>.]
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RANDOM GROUP MEMBER: Huh?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWER: Do you have any comments on your group meeting with Cathy?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RANDOM GROUP MEMBER: Mate… honestly I didn’t listen to a word that chick was saying. I was watching NBA the whole time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[CUT TO CREDITS<\/em>. After credits: another CLOSE-UP of CATHY\u2019S face.]
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATHY: I\u2019m just trying to help out my fellow students. It\u2019s not my fault they can\u2019t write to save their lives, I\u2019m not sacrificing my HD just to showcase their sad attempts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[CATHY grins & gives a double thumbs-up<\/em>. There is a perfect twinkle smile.<\/em> CUT TO BLACK<\/em>].
