THE SET, PILOT EPISODE
|
FADE IN:
|
|
INT. INTRO, ST. IGNATIOUS' PUB AND GRILLE - NIGHT |
|
|
The camera begins outside the doorway and we see a sign that
says "St. Ignatious' Pub and Grille, Little Newfoundland,
Toronto, Ontario", then wanders inside with the intro music
playing (Kim Mitchell's "Accidents of Passion"?! Maybe
something more Celtic like Kim's version of Sudury Saturday
Night...). It pans up to the bar where people are drinking
and talking, then centres on a table where 2 hard working
Newfoundland seafarers are discussing the day over beers. In
the background we see people shooting darts, playing pool &
shuffleboard and talking animatedly. On one corner of the
bar is a guy who looks like Homer Simpson, on the other
corner are two guys who look a lot like Norm and Cliffy. |
|
|
| |
LUMBER
That shore was a nice day out
t'day raght?! Caught nuff shrimp

|
|
|
| |
GARGAMELD
But Skipper, what if Mama finds
out?! She'll put your boils in a
mitt grinder! |
|
|
|
The people at the next table clink glasses and yell "HERE
HERE!" Lumber casts them an inquisitive eye and continues. |
|
|
| |
LUMBER
Mama don't scare me none since I
took her gun...
(reaches down and pulls giant
rifle from under table)
Ah reckon this here's what done

|

GARGAMELD

|

LUMBER

(He suddenly looks around toward
the bar)
HEY BARKEEP, WHERE THE HELL'S MY
BEER?! |
|
|
|
Gargameld ducks for cover as Lumber does the one-hand load
and fires a shot through the ceiling. |
|
|
| |
BOBARINO
Aw geesh, like aw geesh, ya shot
my ceiling again Mr. Burpp... OK

|

|
| |
BARNEY
Shuuuuh... she's a shmart woman

|
|
|
Lumber and Gargameld look at each other, then Lumber takes a
swig of his beer and spills it all over himself... |
|
|
| |
LUMBER
Oh dear, Ah done speeled mah beer

|
|
|
| |
BARNEY

|
|
|
| |
LUMBER
Aw shucks Barn, ya know I couldn't
done do that... now I gots ta git
meself cleaned up before Mama
wonders what da heck I been up ta! |
|
|
|
He stands up, pushes his chair out and begins to walk away.
The camera pans back and it becomes apparent that this is a
show within a show, as the Director yells... |
|
|
| |
FULGHAM
CUUUT! Okay I liked it. Let's turn
around on background.Print that,
CHECK THE GAAAAA...
(he realizes he's standing beside
the camerman...)
TUH... sorry. Check the gate. |
|
|
|
The camera man looks like he was caught in a windstorm. He
puts himself back together and the puller opens up the
camera... |
|
|
Johnny Props jumps in with another mug of beer, wardrobe
replaces Tom's shirt and everybody stretches and studies
their sides. |
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
First take?! Wow, what's up with
that?! |
|
|
|
4.
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Nobody touch anything on the
table! |
|
|
|
Mike checks the notes on his side as the cameras and lights
get ready for a reverse... |
|
|
| |
DONUL
I need a C-Stand, a 2X3 flag and a
butt plug over here! |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Judging from that walk I don't
think you need another butt plug. |
|
|
|
| |
DONUL
Well it'll be easier than taking
down the 20K over there... heeeey,
shaddap you! |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Speaking of beer, my last batch of
Raspberry Wheat turned out pretty
nice, you guys want some? |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
I dunno man, the last time I tried
your brew I had noxious rotting
elk trying to escape through my
colon. |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Yeah, too much sediment. I cut way
back on the Mongolian Civet Coffee
grounds additive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Heh, Mongolian Civet coffee, very
expensive. See, they feed these
coffee bean to a Mongolian Civet,
that's a big cat, and wait for the
digestive process to break down
the beans just right, then when
the civet takes a... |
|
|
|

FIRST AD

|
|
|
The lines are the same as the beginning but taken from a
reverse angle. Keep showing this for 3 to 5 seconds, then
cut. The First AD keeps sniffing the air suspiciously... |
|
|
| |
FULGHAM
CUUUUUUUUUUT! Ummmm, can I get a
20K over here?! (Points in
direction of bar) |
|
|
|
|
Don looks up, rolls eyes and heads to gripland... |

INT. CRAFT TRUCK, EARILER THAT DAY - DAY |
|
|
Slowly fade into this scene with a marquee saying "Earlier
That Day, Shoot Day One", roll it over the following:
A fog of smoke and shadowy figures moving around. We hear
voices and bacon sizzling. We slowly realize we are in a
terribly crowded craft truck. First day of shooting, first
thing in the morning. A short little old guy in a red
lumberjacket enters behind John. |
|
|
6.
|
| |
ROGER
(Thick French
accent)
ALLO JOHN! |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
(Faking accent)
AAALLLOOO ROGERRRRRRRR! So what
have you been working on? |
|
|
|
| |
ROGER
Who me? Well, I no been working
too much. Tings slow slow slow.
Holy boy las year it so eeeeasy

|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Yeah I know. How 'bout you Captain
Mikey? Still trying to get that
website up? |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
No, I gave up. People just don't
know a good thing when they see
it. |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
What was it...? |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
... hamsters. Frolicking
hamsters. Habitrail hamsters.
Hammy hamsters. Delightful fun
creatures. Kids love em... Twelve
hits in 3 months, can you believe
... (starts
coughing) Sparkles! Are you done
paving our lungs yet? I don't know
why I bothered showering this
morning. I smell like a plate of
maple bacon. |
|
|
|
They have to shift to camera left as a big burly guy makes
his way out of the craft truck carrying several breakfast
burritos, licking his lips and smiling with his eyes half
open. |
|
|
| |
SPARKLES
Anyone for a breakfast burrito?
It's got scrambled eggs, bacon,
salsa and seven types of
cheese...anyone? |
|
|
|
7.
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Jeez, heart attack on a plate. |
|
|
|
| |
ROGER

(scoops up an
armload and
leaves)
OK bye bye boy. Have a good first
day. |
|

JOHNNY PROPS
(AND MIKEY)
HOKAY DEN ROGER! |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Man, my arteries are crispy
enough, you know I make crinkly
noises when I walk?! Nuh uh... |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Yeah I know. So do you guys know
this director? I hear he's an
asshole. Shoots all the coverage
first, then the master, then more
coverage. The up-the-nose shot,
the twitchy hand shot, the quick
cut-away to the pencil on the desk
that has nothing to do with the
script shot.Shit, cover the whole
room from every angle and even I
could be a director. |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Can you say hack, boys and girls?
I knew you could. |
|
|
|

FULGHAM

apparently from
the smoke)

sandwhiches and a coffee) |
|

JOHNNY PROPS

breakfast burrito
at him and exits
too) |

decoration on two
wheeled dolly)
Stupid maple bacon smell all over

Johnny Props throws a burrito at

|
|
|
Lots of workers milling about on the set as Mikey is
mumbling, camera goes past lighting and gripland to show bar
set in background, shows sign that says TOO DRINK MINIMUM
B'YE! as Cap Mike is mumbling to himself. Suddeny he drops
his two-wheel dolly... he looks in horror as it slowly
bounces once, twice, three times, cut back to him hitting
the dirt as the dolly explodes... |
|
|
9.
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
(Brushing dolly
shrapnel off self)
Great. Now I have an exploded

Donul walks in and suveys the scene... |

DONUL
Hey Hampster boy! What the hell

CAPTAIN MIKEY
(Embarrassed)
Stupid exploding dolly again,

|
|
|
| |
DONUL
Hmmmm, Looks like you need a new

They stare at each other dumbly
for a few beats. Mikey starts to
storm away muttering again... |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Stupid Donul nookz nike oo nee a

|
|

|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
No way dude! Listen, you might get
away with shit like that but I
sure as hell don't! Remember the
wig incident?! |
|
|
|
Flash back to Donul and Johnny sitting in a bar, some years
younger. They are exchanging stifled mirth and glances.
Widen to reveal Mikey wearing a bright yellow-blonde wig and
|
10.
|
red bandana on his head. He also has a dark two-day growth
of beard. Looking completely ridiculous and oblivious, he
flirts and carouses. 8-10 seconds... |
|

point of crying)
Oh man you looked so stupid!!!

annoyed look)
So I heard already. Geeeesh,

joins him, wiping tears out of his eyes and still
laughing... |
|
|

JOHNNY PROPS

John and Don start laughing again when the First AD walks
in. Mike beats a hasty retreat to the back of the hot set
and the First AD walks over to the two laughing hyenas... |
|
|
| |
FIRST AD
(Hands on hips,
stern look on
face...)

(Walking like Johnny Props walks)
Not a bad first day huh?! The
gunshot was a little much though.

CAPTAIN MIKEY
No I didn't. I'll get caught,
that's the way it is with me. You

fact of life and I've accepted it. |
|
|
|
Flashback to a 5 year old Mike with hands in cookie jar in a
1970's style kitchen with lots of greens and yellows, cops
busting down door, taking him away in handcuffs, 5-6
seconds... |
|
|
16.
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Well if you weren't so high-strung
you wouldn't be so obvious! |
|
|
|
The three of them pause for a second, leaning against a
pillar or some similar prop in the parking lot... |
|
|
| |
DONUL
Yeah Mike, every time you go to
pull a scam you tense right up and
look guilty as hell! Relax man! |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
That's because every freakin' time
I try some crap like that I get
caught! Every time! |
|
|
|
| |
DONUL
Mike, relaxing is the key, I mean
what- are- the- chances of you
getting caught?! |
|
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
MY chances?! About a 110%!!!
Seriously, thanks Don, but no
thanks. I'd put that thing in the
back of my Jeep and end up getting
pulled over by the only cop in
Ontario who knows what a Tongue
Dolly looks like and what colour
it's supposed to be! |
|
|
|
Cut to cop sitting on side of 401 studying a Film Industry
guide... |
|
|
| |
COP
(Folds book up)
Heh heh heh, some day this will
pay off, heh heh heh... |
|
|
|
|
Cut back to parking lot. |
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
You're too stressed man. Here,
take one of these... |
|
|
|
Johnny sticks out his tongue and reaches around in his
famous jacket pocket for something... |
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Uuuuuuhhhhh no thanks, it'll
either make me fart or turn my
skin red or maybe it's some kind

Mike rolls his eyes and walks toward his Jeep. He unlocks
the door, gets in, starts it up and pulls out of the parking
lot. Don and John head their seperate ways in silence in
the meantime, get into their vehicles and leave. Some loud
rock music is playing in the background as Mike pulls into a
Tim Hortons, we see the smile on his face as he heads toward
the Drive-Through and he's the only one there... End the
scene with a high shot of the studio and a barely-lit sign
that says St. Igantious' Pub and Grille, complete with the
spelling mistake. |

|
EXT. PARKING LOT, THE NEXT MORNING... - DAY |
|
|
Johnny Props pulls slowly into parking lot at studio and
finds a place to park. He gets out of his car and stands
still for a moment as we see and hear about 80 cars come
flying in at a hundred miles per hour, park at the same
speed and the drivers get out and walk at that speed toward
the studio. John retrieves his shirt from the car antenna
which was blown off in the hurricane-like winds, puts it
back on and fixes his hair.
Quick-time to a Starbucks a block away, cut back to
John smiling and nodding his head in understanding. Don and
Mike pull in slowly, get out of their vehicles and walk
toward John... |

CAPTAIN MIKEY
...truck!... |
|
|
|
The three of them start to walk slowly toward the Craft
Truck during the above exchange as the line up builds in
record time. They find themselves at the end of the line
that took under 2 seconds to build... their tongues are
hanging out and their eyeballs are bulging... smoke is once
again rolling out the back of the truck as the big burly guy
walks past our heros again with a stack of food and the same
half-open eyes and goofy smile... |
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS

Flashback to the three of them dancing in a circle at the
age of 16, long hair waving in the wind, AC/DC shirts on,
Mike pulling out his drivers' license and then show a car
driving in a circle with happy smily faces inside, cut to
the three of them walking up the road with gas cans in their
hands...
Fulgham walks in front of them... |
|
|
| |
FULGHAM
So boys, are you ready to go to
work or would you prefer to
reminisce all day long?! |
|
|
|
They get up and walk toward the set as Fulgham walks in the
other direction... |

Yes I could! With some
encouragement I could find it deep
from within the bowells of my soul
to project a more inebriated
charactah than what I have indeed

EXT. PARKING LOT, THAT NIGHT - NIGHT |
|
|
Our three heros emerge from the stage door carrying their
stuff. A car drives by, the horn honks and they wave. |
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
I still haven't found a black hole
to drive through so I better find
a gas station that's open. I have
the worst luck with them things... |
|
|
|
| |
JOHNNY PROPS
Hey, d'ya figure Santa Clause uses
one o' them black holes?! I mean,

in the world in one night?! |

DONUL
Yeah man, right over there! Look! |
|
|
|
They look but each see something different. Don sees dollar
signs and a used car ribbon around it, John sees the dolly
itself but hears a frog croaking, Mike sees police tape and
flashing red lights around it. Cut back to them... |
|
|
| |
CAPTAIN MIKEY
Heh no way man, not gonna go
