The atmosphere is tense between John, the Marketing Manager, and Richard, the Production and Quality Manager.

Together with the Marketing team, John invested months of work in the designing and projecting of the packaging for the new product – an anti-wrinkle cream. During the presentation of his suggestions to the team, John was applauded by the sales manager, and he got a positive feedback from everyone else; everyone… except for Richard. According to him, John's ideas are unrealistic fantasies, at least with regards to the machinery, which the company doesn't have. Richard doesn't think it worth to buy new machinery just for this one packaging.

John thinks Richard's opinion to be just objections of an "old-fashioned" person who doesn't want to change or innovate. Richards thinks John's ideas are those of a "youngster" who doesn't understand real life, and doesn't care of economical or technical feasibility.
