[first lines]
Trainer : So, to sum up: Creative Problem Solving. Techniques that allow us to move forward as individuals, as teams, as an organization.
Gerry Standing : [standing] Right.
Trainer : One last thing before we finish.
[Gerry sighs and sits down]
Trainer : Could you stand up, please. Right.
[holding a large soda bottle]
Trainer : You catch it; you come up with a new use for it. If you get stuck, use the check-list. Don't censor.
Supt. Sandra Pullman : [catches the bottle] Um, cut the bottom off, attach four strings, tie them to a silk canopy: hot air balloon.
Trainer : Great.
[Amanda tosses the bottle to Brian]
Brian Lane : Sterilize, crush, melt and mince a hundred bottles providing fibrous polyester strands which we weave into a fleece.
[tosses the bottle to Gerry]
Gerry Standing : Um... Nah, I'm sorry, me brains gone blank.
Trainer : Relax; use the check-list. You have an idea, Gerry.
Gerry Standing : Huh. No, I haven't.
Trainer : If it's sexual, perfectly normal.
Gerry Standing : No, I'm sorry, sweetheart; nothing.
Trainer : Don't block, Gerry.
Gerry Standing : I'm not.
Trainer : You have the answer.
Gerry Standing : I haven't!
Trainer : What are you holding?
Gerry Standing : Eh?
Trainer : Say it, Gerry!
Gerry Standing : What?
Trainer : What's in your hand?
Gerry Standing : It's a bottle, for Christ's sake!
