1st Draft
Open on NYC with two
Empire State Buildings. A heavy synth
accompanies the visual. Dissolve to the
Potato Famine Memorial. Roderick 7 is
on his finger-phone (thumb and pinky extended like someone imitating speaking
on the phone).
Roderick
It’s like I never see you
anymore. What are all these hours
you’re putting in? You guys aren’t
planning another antimatter fuel recession, are you?
Maynard Omega, a smartly
dressed business type, sits in his office, on the top floor of a
skyscraper. He is talking into a rotary
phone with the receiver held next to his face by a steel robot arm on a
pedestal.
Maynard
Funny guy, you should
write for Comedy Implant Bi-Weekly. No,
I’ve been working, but not with work-work.
I’ve been planning something.
Something big.
Roderick
What?
Maynard
Are you on a secure
channel?
Roderick
Wait one second.
Roderick puts a glove on
and resumes his phone gesture.
Roderick
All right, go ahead.
The robotic arm holding Maynard’s
phone now has a glove on it.
Maynard
I’ve been planning a
party.
Roderick
A Party?
Maynard
No so loud!
Roderick
Maynard, that’s
prohibited. What if you get
caught? You’ll never trade in
JapanoMexicraft high-speed commodities again.
Maynard
Boy, you must think I’m a
real Gerald Ford. I won’t get
caught. I’m smarter than that.
Roderick
Fine, what’s your plan
then?
Maynard
Come to my office and I’ll
explain. I’m materializing one of my
assistants at your location.
A man dressed like a limo
driver appears in the vicinity of Roderick.
He is holding a sign that says Roderick 7. Roderick climbs on his shoulders and they both disappear. They appear in Maynard’s office, but have
switched positions. Roderick takes a
seat in front of Maynard.
