SYNOPSIS:
Two parents are looking forward to having dinner with their daughter's new boyfriend. They are suddenly shocked to find out that she's dating a much older man who happens to be her father's boss! (A short comedy along the lines of Meet the Parents).

BREAKDOWNS:

1. MOTHER / 40 - 60 / Any Ethnicity - a loving housewife who's slightly eccentric and not scared to share her opinion.

2. FATHER / 40 - 60 / Any Ethnicity - a stressed out, mentally tired man, who's overly protective of his daughter but scared of his boss.

3. DAUGHTER / 18 - 25 / Any Ethnicity - a young and vibrant woman with a good head on her shoulders who feels very independent and does as she pleases.

4. BOSS / 30 - 60 / Any Ethnicity - a very sharp man with a good sense of humour. Not easily intimidated, he finds this peculiar situation quite interesting.
