The Peeps

INTERIOR – DAY – EMPTY WAREHOUSE
Three well-dressed men sit around an empty card table. Daylight floods in through dusty windows. The room is otherwise bare.

LEE
So, did you guys know we teamed up in 2007 to write things?

MATT
Thanks for that, Captain Exposition. I’ll add that
we firmly believe in disruptive innovation.

ADRIAN
(slapping forehead)
This is so expositiony I may as well take off my pants.

LEE
Nice. Exposure humor.

ADRIAN
I know, right?

Matt slaps Adrian for using that particular phrase. Adrian glares at Lee.

MATT
(glaring at Lee)
That’s for using that particular phrase.

ADRIAN
(rubbing his face)
I deserved that. And not because we have the full bible
for a genre-busting cross-media TV comedy
where Friends meets Entourage meets Funny Or Die.

LEE
Or because of our dark action comedy feature where
48 Hours meets Adaptation meets Fight Club.

MATT
And definitely not the super-secret
animated-live action adult comedy with
A-List talent-

Adrian slaps Matt.

MATT
-that I’m not really allowed to talk about yet.

LEE
While we have yet to sell anything, I think we’re
really terrific guys with great big balls of talent.

MATT
Take mine for instance. Look at those danglies.

ADRIAN
We may be drifting off topic.

LEE
What were we talking about?

MATT
Balls.

LEE
No, before that.

ADRIAN
Chaos Complex Entertainment!

MATT
All comedy. All the time.

ALL
(in Newt’s voice, from Aliens)
Mostly.

FADE TO BLACK
