Spotswood Clip 2: 'Instituting some changes'
Mr Wallace (Anthony Hopkins) takes Carey (Ben Mendelsohn) on as his offsider, in a study of employee efficiency. Carey jumps at the chance, because it means sharing a desk with the gorgeous Cheryl (Rebecca Rigg). Mr Wallace's changes include partitions between employees so they can't talk to each other, and staggered lunch hours, to reduce socialising. Mr Ball (Alwyn Kurts) worries that the employees won't like the new ideas.
