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.
