Character Description

In the fast-paced world of journalism, Leslie is one of the best, and she's worked hard to become so. She's ambitious, sarcastic, opinionated, and bossy, a take-charge personality who gets things done. She's not unlikeable, if you can get past her witty sarcasm and blunt tone, and not unkind, if you don't take her withering burns personally. But underneath it all, her ambition and drive aren't self-serving; she really does want to make the world a better place.

Scene Context

Ian and Leslie are coworkers in a news organization. With a tight deadline looming, Ian has been MIA, until Leslie barges into the office men's room to discover him bruised up and disheveled, attempting to clean up a bloody nose.
