Scene: A Hollywood Café, Taylor Zakhar Perez and his publicist, Emily, are sitting at a table. A barista places two coffees on their table.
Emily: (glancing at her phone) Taylor, your post about Zuckerberg and Musk is blowing up! The internet is going wild!
Taylor Zakhar Perez: (grinning) Zuck You, Musk! See what I did there?
Emily: I saw, I saw. Genius caption, by the way.
Taylor: (sipping coffee) What can I say? It’s a binary world, Emily. Ones and zeros. Zucks and Musks.
Emily: Well, it seems like you’ve picked your one.
Taylor: Ah yes, Zuck. The only man who's made poking socially acceptable.
Emily: And what about Elon?
Taylor: Oh, Elon's cool. I just can't get behind a guy who names his kid like he's inputting a cheat code on a video game.
Emily: Fair point. (pauses) So, are you ready for the reactions? You know how Elon’s fans are.
Taylor: (looking thoughtful) Well, if they can handle him sending a car to Mars, they can handle a little T-shirt banter.
(Just then, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson walks into the café. He spots Taylor and heads over.)
The Rock: Taylor! My man! How are you doing?
Taylor: (standing up) Dwayne! Good to see you. Have a seat.
The Rock: (squeezing into a chair that looks two sizes too small for him) So, I heard you picked a side in the big Zuck vs Musk showdown.
Taylor: Yep, Team Zuck all the way. And you?
The Rock: (laughs) I'm too big to fit into a Tesla. Heck, I can’t even fit in this chair.
Taylor: You could probably bench press both Zuck and Musk at the same time.
The Rock: I could, but then who would update their relationship status?
Taylor: (chuckling) True, true.
Emily: (interrupting) Taylor, speaking of relationship statuses, your post just got shared by Mark Zuckerberg himself! He says, “Welcome to Team Zuck, where we connect people, one poke at a time.”
Taylor: (grinning widely) Well, it's official then.
The Rock: Congrats, buddy! But don't forget, there's a cage match coming up. Think Zuck's got a fighting chance?
Taylor: If Zuck can handle U.S. Congress, he can handle Musk.
The Rock: (standing up) Well, I better get going. Got to fit in a workout session before I burst out of this chair. See you around!
Taylor: Later, Dwayne!
(The Rock leaves, almost taking the chair with him due to its small size. Taylor and Emily laugh.)
Taylor: This is getting interesting. Maybe I should live-stream my reaction to the showdown on Facebook.
Emily: Great idea! You can sell popcorn with a side of likes and pokes.
Taylor: Perfect! And maybe, just maybe, I’ll send Elon a friend request when it's all over.
Emily: A peace offering, I like it.
Taylor: Only if it’s SpaceX-approved.
Emily: (laughs) October 26 can't come soon enough.
