Two Kooks in a Kitchen by Ian Courter - Short, Comedy - Lorraine Sanchez finally gets a chance to do some news studio work, but a primadonna chef stands to ruin her big break. 9 pages - pdf, format

Is that supposed to be Kooks or Cooks?

Apart from that it was easy to read and easy to understand. A few comedy moments and a nice ending.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw Is that supposed to be Kooks or Cooks?

I believe it is a pun. Kook as in crazy... but I'd have to read it to be sure.

Yep, pretty decent sketch. Nice work.

Mark and Dustin,

Thanks for the review, gentlemen. For some reason, I felt compelled to do a trilogy with the Lorraine Sanchez character (Interview with a Ventriloquist and Looking for Bigfoot being the other two).

Ian

Ian,

I had a good LOL at the exchange of assumed ancestry based on the names. GJ.

I pictured Suzanne Summers for Lorraine Sanchez (btw a hot porn star.)

BTW Maggie Pg.1, change in her dialog 'an' to 'a'

I didnt like how you had her 'flirt' at the end after mentioning she was already hitched. I felt it unnatural seeings how dey be hav'n had dems foody fights on dee air.

Seems like it naturally ended when the on air segment went to black.

Great character in Lorraine. I can see why you want to further explore her (no pun intended)

I enjoyed it.

I've quoted this so it stays forever. Maybe not today, but one day, you're going to regret writing the baby talk. wtf?

Lol, I was in the mood.

A couple of parts of this interchange in the script happened in real life for me. In my unit, I was one of the few Spanish speakers. There were a couple of Latinos who spoke absolutely no Spanish. So, that was good for some ribbing. Now the "carne espada/meat sword" discussion is best done over a couple of really good brews.

Suzanne Summers, Tony? I mean she looks good... for her age, but I had someone more contemporary in mind like Sarah Lancaster. Don't know why, but...

In Lorraine's defense, she does inform Pete that Sanchez was her ex's last name. She's a divorcee, so she's not doing anything technically wrong by flirting with the chef. As for the food fight and change in attitude, when I was an undergrad in college... nevermind.

Regarding the ending, I was shooting for a wrap up of the whole Lorraine Sanchez trilogy by finally letting her have a happy ending.

Thanks again for the read gents. Look forward to seeing and reading more from you guys... er, blokes, Dustin.

Ian

Sorry Ian, I didn't catch the Ex part. She kept the last name,  I see.

I was thinking the Chrissy character from Three's Company,  not the old Suzanne.

Now you can take Lorraine out into the field and really have her destroy something.  Lol

Tony

I wonder what she could do for the evening news if she did a stand-in anchor spot... maybe cover for Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News.

Lying Brian invents the news, Lorraine is part of it.

Hey, this was a funny little short, I guess there's more scripts with Lorraine Sanchez character. She's hilarious. I loved how everything went mental but then it all worked out for the better.

Thanks, Debbie. Yep, there are actually two more. Here are the URLs for them, if you are interested in reading them. They are works in progress, but getting there.
