This one was a little long for me. I think you could definitely cut at least a half page or more from the beginning. I like the concept, and it would probably play much better if you could hear the music. It's something that would probably work very well on SNL.
SPOLIERS: When he woke up from the dream, I thought that you were just going to end it, but I loved the twist at the very end. Made me laugh a little.
Overall, I liked it. Good job.
Here are a few typos I found-- Pg. 1 - you have two your/you're switches. And missing a few commas.
Pg. 2 - "stars", instead of "starts". Missing question marks after "what's up" and "what is it" you spelled "definitely" wrong.
Pg. 3 - two you're/your switches. Missing "'s" after "there". Missing "a" before "soft mellow tune". The last sentence on the page, you don't have the first word capitalized.
I'm not really one for skits, but I guess I could see this one working on Saturday Night Live.
Of course, for this to work better, we'd have to see it on-screen, with the music and actually seeing Larry's reaction to the songs.
I see you tried putting a twist in there, but I think it might work a bit better if it were told straight up, with no parlor tricks or anything.
Lol, I couldn't help but laugh at this line: "Gary repetitively stabs Larry while he is driving." When I first read it, I thought it said 'Gary respectively stabs Larry'.
But that's also the part where the story got too corny for my tastes.
But like I said, the music and his reaction to it is the strength of this one and would work in a skit.
There's something odd about Barry and Jerry. Maybe it was the cheesy dialogue you gave them. I don't know. I didn't quite understand how Harry was straight considering he professed his love for Terry through the CD. So when he said they were both straight in his dream, I was confused. But I must say I was completely taken by surprise when Kerry began to "repetitively stab" Perry. It was effective.
