    Ironically, my laptop is a distraction, necessary for productivity, and a precious thing.

    I liked the last part “you are free-go be productive!” Made me giggle! 😁

    Love this lady beyond words. And that is definitely the same sound designer as "Me and You and Everyone we know". I wonder if it's her that creates the music...

      Michael Morrell , Michael Andrews did the soundtrack for You Me And Everyone..., (he also did Donnie Darko, and is brilliant). There are some musician credits at the end of the vid. She definitely has a specific sort of sound world though.

    honestly...she didn't look like she was doing anything productive afterwards... she just....SAT THERE...STARING at the situation..! ...Withdrawal symptoms, perhaps?? LOL

    I am most concerned about her precious thing hostage. How is she going to remove the tray of red juice without spilling it?

    People are so mean. I find this very unique and a cute helpful way to not get distracted by things we are obviously addicted to. Stop being so unnecessarily rude, even if you do find it completely pointless.

    This could be a criticism of today’s society where we’re constantly engulfed in « exciting information » and are afraid of missing out. To avoid being distracted, we try to block out the so called distractions but then realise how fragile our barriers are because in the end they’re all we can think about and putting them away brings about other worries. Table = fragile barrier; Precious thing = new distracting problems ; distractions = constant distractions...

    I think that's a bit extreme, but weirdly entertaining.

    most of these comments are missing that this is a deleted scene from A MOVIE, She is playing a character, and this scene makes sense in the context of THE MOVIE. Pay attention...
