High Concept
Sir Reginald of Dunsfold, a 14th-century knight, is mysteriously transported from the Battle of Agincourt into the supply closet of SynergyCorp on the 42nd floor of a Chicago skyscraper. Mistaken for the new "agile coach," he is hired as Director of Strategic Synergy by Lord Craig (VP of Regional Sales). What follows is a series of escalating absurdist set-pieces: taming the Keurig machine ("The Cursed Chalice"), wrestling with Excel ("the grid of endless torment"), and launching the Siege of Accounting with rubber band catapults — accidentally driving Q3 sales up 400% through sheer medieval intensity.

Character Casting
Sir Reginald of Dunsfold
A 14th-century knight transported to modern corporate America. Director of Strategic Synergy. Treats every mundane office interaction as a medieval quest. Aggressively chivalrous, terrifyingly effective.
Sarah (HR)
The deadpan guide. Finds Reginald in the supply closet and is not impressed. Her perpetual expression of exhausted apathy is the comedic counterweight to Reginald's intensity.
Lord Craig (VP of Regional Sales)
The tech-bro liege lord. Instantly enamored with Reginald's "disruptive energy." Speaks entirely in corporate buzzwords. Finger guns.
Gary (Accounting)
The nemesis. Guards the company budget with the ferocity of a dragon. Demands PDF format. His stapler becomes his weapon during the Siege of Accounting.
The CEO (The Emperor)
The mysterious ultimate authority. Appears only in the final scene to point at the rival skyscraper and declare a new crusade against Apex Global Solutions.
Narrative Flow (Beat Sheet)
Scene 1: The Arrival
The supply closet door swings open. Sarah from HR stares at a fully armored knight amidst knocked-over dry-erase markers. She asks if he's the new agile coach. He points a sword at her and demands to see the liege lord. They walk through the sterile corridors as coworkers stare.
Scene 2: The Pitch & The Pivot
Lord Craig, in his Patagonia vest, is enamored. "Our Q3 numbers are softer than a wet noodle." Reginald slams the desk. Craig points finger guns: "You're hired." Then the real enemy: the Excel spreadsheet. Reginald grips the mouse like a live rat.
Scene 3: The Cursed Chalice
The breakroom Keurig flashes red. "It is angered!" Reginald rips off the water reservoir, spilling water everywhere. "Huzzah! The beast is disarmed!" He fills it, the light turns green. The peasantry rejoices.
Scene 4: The Budget Wars
Gary from Accounting rejects the wax-sealed parchment expense report — "must be in PDF format." Reginald lowers his visor. The Siege of Accounting erupts: rubber band catapults, paperclip shrapnel, Gary hiding behind binders with a stapler. Craig arrives: "Q3 sales are up 400%."
Scene 5: A New Crusade
The CEO — silver-haired, inscrutable — points across the street: "Apex Global Solutions threatens our market share." Reginald draws his sword. "We march at dawn! Or after the 10 AM stand-up!" The elevator doors close on his resolute pose.
