CHRONICLES OF UNC: PILOT

FADE IN:

INT. BRIAN'S PLACE - BEDROOM - MORNING

The TV plays as BRIAN sleeps peacefully. A heavily
intoxicated UNC barges in.

UNC
Aye, Nephew! Aye, listen.

UNC sits on the edge of BRIAN's bed and taps him on the
back.

UNC
What's up, nigga?

BRIAN wakes up.

UNC
(laughs)
What you doin', boy?

BRIAN
What you want, man?

UNC
Aye, listen. Let's run up to the
liquor store.

BRIAN reaches for his phone on the nightstand. It is 6:26
A.M.

BRIAN
Yo, Unc, you trippin'. It is 6:30
in the mornin'. Get out of my
room.

UNC
(sucks teeth)
It ain't no damn 6:30 in the
mornin'. Take me to the liquor
store, nigga. We need more to
drink.

BRIAN puts a pillow over his head.

UNC
All I need is 2 40s of Hurricane
and a pint of E&J.

BRIAN
Leave me alone.

UNC
(sucks teeth)
Aw, there you go. Bipolar just
like ya motha. Boy, I tell ya.

UNC smacks BRIAN on the back again.

UNC
Come on, nigga!

BRIAN
(furious)
Get the hell out of my room!

UNC
(sucks teeth)
Whateva.

UNC stumbles his way out of BRIAN's room. BRIAN watches as
UNC stumbles and falls in the bathroom.

UNC
Aw, shit.

BRIAN watches as Unc struggles to get up.

NARRATOR
Most of us have that one shot out
uncle. The crazy one that's always
drunk and showin' his ass. The one
that lived in the basement when
you were a kid. The one nobody
wanted to mess with. In this case,
that uncle is Brian's oldest
unlce, Melvin. I know Brian wishes
he coulda did that whole week
different.

INT. BRIAN'S PLACE - BATHROOM - MORNING

BRIAN brushes his teeth and washes his face in the mirror.A
Youtube video of the ZoWhat Morning Show plays on his phone.

KITCHEN

BRIAN looks in the refrigerator. In the refrigerator is a
gallon of water, a carton of eggs, a bottle of ketchup and a
bottle of ranch.He closes the refrigerator door, opens the
freezer door and finds nothing. He opens a cabinet with a

pack of chicken flavored Ramen, and a bag of sour cream
chips.

BRIAN boils a pack of noodles on the stove.

LIVING ROOM

BRIAN sits on the couch with the bowl of noodles. He grabs
the remote and turns the TV on, but the cable is off.

BRIAN
Shit! They turned the cable off.

NARRATOR
Brian feel like he ain't nothin'.
He 30 with a job he hate, a car
that's on it's last limb and a
college degree that seems to serve
no purpose now since he caught
that weed charge and lost his job
as a teacher. He never keeps a
girlfriend because he hate havin'
to take someone else's life into
consideration when he don't have
his own shit together. All he can
really care about is not gettin'
kicked out of his crib.

EXT. FRONT DOOR

PAUL knocks on the door.He reads a text on his phone.

PAUL
What? Fuck you. This freakin'
woman is nuts...What a bitch!

BRIAN answers the door.

BRIAN
What's up, Paul?

PAUL
I know it's early, Brian, but my
wife's been up my ass about the
rent. You told me you'd have it
sometime this week. I know it's
been rough for you, but this is
the second time you've been late
and we can't turn this into a
habit because that's just bad for
the both of us. The wife wants ya
gone and she's been in my ear and
I've just been defendin' ya. And
I'm not defending ya because I
(MORE)

PAUL (cont'd)
like ya. I'm defending you because
my wife is an absolute bitch and a
control freak and I'm slowly
growing my balls back. Screw her,
dude! She a freaking cunt and I
had to go marry her and have 3
annoying kids with her and I swear
Alec isn't mine. The bitch is
totally bangin' a trainer at Retro
Fitness and she thinks I don't
know about it. But whatever. We
are both gonna have a big problem
if you don't pay up. You know the
drill, dude.I need the rent this
week. Now, I'm gonna finish off
this bottle of Jameson and watch
porn on her iPad.

PAUL's phone rings.

PAUL
Just figure it out, Brian.

PAUL answers the phone as he walks to the van.

PAUL
Yes! I just spoke with him and I'm
on my way to Shoprite right now!..
No, I haven't been drinkin'!

(to Brian)
What's up, Brian?

BRIAN
I don't know man. You called me up
here.

LARRY
I know I called ya on your break.
You guys get paid breaks anyway.
When I'm done firing your ass you
can break as long as you want.

LARRY places an energy drink on the desk.

BRIAN
(confused)
Wait...what?

LARRY
Yeah, Brian. I was told by my boss
that the company has decided to
separate you from employment
because you have exceeded the
maximum number of lates and call
outs in your first 90 days.

BRIAN
Oh.

LARRY
Yeah, man. I was pullin' for you
hard since we go back to high
school football, but those 4
callouts, 8 lates and the couple
no call-no shows you did didn't
help your case. I wish you well
and I hope we can still be cool.

BRIAN
(disappointed)
Okay, cool. Am I good to go now?

LARRY
Sure, bro.

Exit BRIAN. LARRY views the monitor and sees OFFICER SALAZAR

NARRATOR
Now, before you go thinkin' Melvin
just some drunk fool I'll have you
know that's he's a highly
intelligent man. He just let life
and his addiction to alcohol mess
him all up. See, back in high
school Melvin was a popular
football star and everyone called
him "Truck" because he used to run
cats over. Then he got a shorty
pregnant and decided to go to the
Marines. He suffered a freak
injury and was able to leave the
Marines. But after he came home
and recovered he started hanging
with some gangstas and caught a
charge and had to do like 10
years.To make things even more
messed up, his only son died while
he was locked up. Melvin been on a
drinkin' binge since he came home
all those years ago. But even
though he be tore up, he still an
OG.

UNC exits the store.

UNC
Okay! Yeah, he left somethin'
inside for ya! Let me go get it.

Yo, buddy. Tell your uncle he

POOH enters. An attractive woman walks by as POOH stares
with lust.

BRIAN
Okay.

POOH recognizes BRIAN.

POOH
What's good, B? I heard they did
some bullshit at your job. If you

UNC
You know what though? As long as

Aye, you know what, Paul? You

PAUL looks at his phone.

PAUL

called me 32 times already.

BRIAN enters.

UNC
Nephew! What's goin' on?

BRIAN stands by the door with a look of confusion.

28.

PAUL
Hey, Brian. Your uncle is a good
man.
(to UNC)
Melvin, you can keep the booze.

UNC
Thank you. You take care, Paul!

PAUL exits.

BRIAN

UNC

week to come up with the rest!

BRIAN

UNC
You're welcome. And you don't have
