Can it be someone who is mildly famous so that you guys could make fun of the massive posts about said person. It would give you guys material to work with and of course the person I have in mind is...

Now that we have that out of the way, I don't know if you realized that one but are making it sound like you did. I'm not sure who wrote it either, yours and George's writing blends really well together.

That's a compliment to as when people co-write you can tell who wrote what parts, maybe you guys should do it sooner than later because the time frame before people stop caring is very short.

It can't take that much time away from other stuff when theirs two reasonably talented writers such as yourselves on the case. (I said reasonably because anything else would be blowing smoke and I don't smoke)

Haha, you are the greatest writers in the...

I read this last night after a nightmare 6 hour train ride across Germany. I laughed my ass off. It's simply hilarious. You make a great writing team.I could spot both of you at times but on the whole, it was difficult to tell you apart.

I just knew the 'inconsistent sluglines' were Bert's doing haha. I loved the little running joke with the 747 posters and Curse's elusive 'only copy'. That's just comedy gold to anyone who's been around these boards for a while.

I thought you nailed Wesley's character. The lack of punctuation in his dialogue was distracting at first until I realized it was deliberate.

Security just had to be in there and his dialogue was suitably random. I'm pretty sure you lifted that almost directly from one of his posts.

Maybe it's to do with my doggy bag from Amsterdam but I haven't laughed so much when reading a script for a long time. Really great stuff. I thought about doing one of these myself but I can't follow this so I'll wait for the next 1 week exercise.

I reckon you two should team up again.

Quoted from bert *  I didn't want Don to live?!  Sheesh...don't say it like that for pete's sake.  I didn't want him to come back at the end.  Post the alternate endings.  They're worthy.  Just unused.

Sure, that's what you said, but I knew what you meant.  

And here are the alternate endings, as insisted upon. They pretty well pick up right at the end as it stands right now, except Wesley wasn't splashed by another passing car. I'll include that last couple of descriptive paragraphs to get you into them. The first one is the first Bert section:

------

[Wesley] shakes a few more Goobers into his mouth and heads off
into the night until he is swallowed by shadows.

A poster blows along the ground behind him. It reads: “#747:
Coming Christmas 2010!”

ENDING EXTENSION NUMBER 1:

A male voice comes from behind Wesley. It is smooth, like a
serial killer’s.

               VOICE (O.S.)
     Did you find the killer, Wesley?

Wesley stops, his eyes grow wide.

               VOICE (O.S.)
     You didn’t honestly believe
     that idiot could have killed
     anyone, do you?

Wesley closes his eyes and turns his head.

               WESLEY
     A pencil...how could I have
     been so blind?

Standing before him are BERT along with the Sweet Little
Girl who almost dropped a piano on his head.

               BERT
     You remember Angel, Wesley?

               WESLEY
     The little girl who stabbed a
     Sheriff with a pencil? I would
     say how could I forget, but I’ve
     been asking myself that question
     already haha.

               BERT
     You think this is funny?

               WESLEY
     No haha.

               BERT
     Then why are you laughing?

               WESLEY
     I’m not haha.

               BERT
     Aren’t you even going to ask me
     why?

               WESLEY
     I just figured you would start
     in with that bad guy’s big
     monologue that explains why he
     did everything and it’s a little
     cliché but I think right now I’ll
     let that go since you are such a
     good writer.

               BERT
     One script! I only have one script
     posted and the link disappears.
     George has 29 scripts posted and
     you can click on all of them. But
     Bert has one, and his goes poof!
     I figured I’d let Angel remind
     old Don how important she is. She
     was pretty upset when she got
     deleted.

               WESLEY
     She didn’t get deleted. It was only
     gone for an hour, tops.

               BERT
     It’s the principle.

               WESLEY
     Well, why the piano on my head?

               BERT
     Ah, you know, in some places your
     name says you’re a sub-admin, so
     why not?

               WESLEY
     Oh sure, that makes perfect sense
     but why the note?

               BERT
     What note?

               WESLEY
     The note from Security slash
     Kevin Revie slash Stifler?

               BERT
     I didn’t write a note.

               WESLEY
     No, it had the pencil stabbed
     through it.

               BERT
     Did it?

FLASH INSERT: Wesley looks at the note on Don’s back. As he
reaches down to lift the note up, it can be clearly seen
that the tears of the note are going upward indicating...

Wesley’s eyes open wide.

               WESLEY
     It was put there after he died.

               BERT
     I saw him run in, say something
     about a huge twist, stick the
     note on the pencil and then run
     out saying “LOL” or something.

               WESLEY
     I beat a madman I can easily be-

Wesley’s eyes grow wide again. He falls to the ground dead,
a pencil stuck in his back. Angel stands behind him. Bert
holds out his hand. A pencil is stuck through it.

               BERT
     Come, Angel. SpecTown is ours.

Angel runs to him and holds onto the pencil and they head
off into the night until they are swallowed by shadows.

Neon lights fight their way through the darkness. Faintly,
the Dogglebe’s sign shines through the black.

Okay, this one picks up right where the last one left off. The two endings ran in sequence. I only labeled them each so Bert could clearly see where one ended and the next began.

ENDING EXTENSION NUMBER 2:

Shoes appear beside Wesley’s dead body. A hand touches
Wesley’s back. It removes the pencil.

Wesley blinks. He comes to his feet and shakes off the
darkness. He looks to one side.

               WESLEY
     Don?

DON smiles.

               WESLEY
     You were dead.

               DON
     This is my domain. I own it,
     and nothing happens without
     my consent or knowledge. I
     didn’t die, and you can’t
     either unless I want it to
     happen.

               WESLEY
     What about...?

               DON
     Oh, don’t worry about him.
     Someone temporarily stole Bert’s
     identity. He told me about it.
     He’ll be back to himself in
     no time. Oh and another thing...

Don snaps. The sun comes out splaying light over everything.
He and Wesley walk down the sidewalk.

               DON
     Please stop making the city
     so dark when I’m away.

               WESLEY
     I like it that way.

               DON
     Well, I don’t, and since
     this is my world, I will
     always be in control.

CURSE hangs a poster announcing “#747: Coming August 2006!”
He spots Don and Wesley walking towards him so he runs off.

Don points at the poster. POOF! It’s gone. They continue
walking down the sidewalk together.


FADE OUT.

Hello!

WOW! I just had a look at this! It must be one of the funniest scripts on these boards! The dialouge of the characters was completely perfect, Wesley, Kevin, Security, Myself and everyone else!

Everything was fantastic, formatting, dialouge all that, and the thing that really made me laugh was the The only copy of #747 in the world -- really!
Love, Olga.” and all the posters  of the #747 script around places. Also, the dialouge from Security was hilarious.

Everything has already been said, so that's it.

Curse!

And I can't help but notice that Curse's sig says he has a script "Coming Soon." Oh, how art imitates reality.

LOL!!!

Nice one, Mr. Willson

I'm not a very good commenter, but I just wanted to say how awesome this script was. This script was super funny!

HAHAHAHAHA

Oh my god.  That is the funniest thing I have ever read.  That was great.  I'm glad I am finally a resident of Spectown.  Maybe I shall make an appearance in the sequel.

Great stuff guys.

There will be a sequel?

Oh there has to be.  

With those box office numbers?

Sequel!  Sequel!

You guys should probably know that the franchise has been sold to a competing production company:

While the concept and execution of subsequent installments will likely deviate from the original vision, we are confident that new episodes will adhere to the same rigorous standards of top-quality writing blended with mischievous, sardonic commentary.

"I think there's somethin' wrong with his throat"

Inotherwords, we were hogtied and hung from the rafters in an abandoned warehouse and forced to watch episodes of "The Simple Life" until we caved and signed over the rights. Well, I say episodes. I don't think we actually lasted past the opening titles of the first one before signing it over. I believe our words were, "It isn't worth anything anyway."

This was a great script. Great formatting, grammar (from what I can tell! I'm not a grammar master.), and was really really funny.
