| Case Study: Episode Liza |
|
Screen and music fade in. We see Smo and Gro sitting behind the desk arguing.
Gro: I LOVED HER MORE!! Smo: No, I did! Gro: I called her first. Smo: So what?! Gro: Well I miss her more! Smo: Whatever. Like it matters, she's gone. Both realize camera is on them.... Gro: Oh hey there Gro here...(Points) Smo there and uh well here's the show. Smo: (Thinks to himself, what kind of identity shall I have for this show? I've been a sports commentator, sherlock holmes, paranoid army commander..... hmmmm.....) Gro: Guess who Smo got a phone call from? Smo: Heh, heh, (Arrogant smile appears on his face) Well, I got a call from Liza. (Pumps fist) Oh yeah!! Gro: Like uh....anyway... Smo: Blah!! You're just jealous, dude. Gro: I guess we should tell why this is such a big deal. Smo: (Surfer/absent minded accent) Yea, dude, shed some light on this totally bogus subject. Gro: Well anyway...here it goes .... Smo: Yo, maestro dude, start some elevator tunes. Sappy music plays. Gro: (In sappy narrator voice) There once was this lovely lady who roamed the streets of Manchester... Music comes to a screaching halt. Smo: Oh wait a sec, dude, I've got to check on the surf. Gro: May I continue...... Smo: Uhh...yea sure. Music begins again. Gro: Anyway. She was far more beautiful than any other that roamed the streets of Manchester, and she drew the envy of all women and the looks and hearts of all men. Smo: Yo dude, she got my vote, my heart, my surfboard, my all. Gro: Enter your fearless heroes in middle school, where we first met this lady. Smo: Yo back in those teenie boppin' years...bummer, dude. All negatives have a positive, though. Gro: Well she befriended them there and that friendship carried them through high school, where they were never the closest of friends yet they were always friends nonetheless. Smo: Yea dude, always riding the low waves, never taking those risks. Like hanging ten on the big one. Gro: Yada yada.... THE SENIOR YEAR!!! Smo: The tables turn. Gro: (Roll eyes) Smo's friendship with Liza continued to get stronger, while the more Smo and Gro got into church, the more the three of them became closer. Smo: Rock on, dude! Gro: Cut away again to the beginning of Smo and Gro's school year. The more into school they got the closer it got for time for this lovely lady to leave for New York. Smo: Wipeout, bummer, down the drain, duuuude. It's better to have loved, and the love move away, than to have never loved at all. (Ponders in a moment of memories) I really miss her. Gro: Well the weekend before time for her to leave, Smo and Gro are attending a retreat when guess who show's up. Smo: (Changes back to normal accent) Man, when she walked in I about fell down the stairs. I never imagined a Friday night as great as this one was appearing to be. Gro: Liza in the flesh. Smo: (Mimicking Snoop Dogg's version of "We Will Rock You") Rock on, rock on. Gro: Well it's been awile since either of us had really heard from Liza, but tonight was Smo's turn to finish first...sorta. Smo: Smo finished first?! What a lucky guy...wait a sec..I am Smo, I'm the Smo in this story, oh yea, rock on! (Pause) The plot thickens. Gro: (Slaps Smo upside the head) Would you stop with that crap!?! Smo: Every star has his trademark and if I have to start out by saying, "The tables have turned, and the plot thickens," then by gosh I'm gonna do it. Even if it causes permanent paralysis, by your abuse. (Pauses and ponders) I could sue you....yea man...where's your work ethic? Gro: (Raises right hand) I'm gonna show you a little work ethic in a minute. Smo: Ahh crap on your work ethic. You can't do anything to me. Gro: I can't huh? Gro punches Smo. Smo falls out of his chair. Gro: I showed you. Anyway, where was I? Oh yea.... A grunt is heard. Smo jumps up with his desk chair in hand. He swings the chair knocking Gro to the ground. Smo jumps up on the desk. WHOOOOO!!!! Smo pats his elbow and jumps off the desk. Gro rolls out of the way and Smo lands on the ground. Smo: AAAHHHHHHHRRRGGGGGG!!!!! Gro picks Smo up above his heard hurling him through the backstage door. Gro: (Peering through the door) Where ya at little buddy?! I just wanna....... RIP YOU TO SHREDS!!! Just then Smo whacks Gro across the back with a garbage can. Gro: Ugh... Smo: Take that you little bugger! Smo hits Gro with the garbage can a couple of times and throws it away. Smo climbs up a ladder leading up to the catwalk about the studio. Gro gets up and begins climbing up after Smo...... Smo and Gro are now on the catwalk. Smo kicks Gro in the stomach and runs off. Smo looks back and Gro is gone. Smo: What the.... Smo climbs down the ladder and begins wearily looking for Gro. All of a sudden a yell is heard and Gro comes flying down from the catwalk and lands face first in front of Smo. Gro: (In extreme agony) I believe I missed... Smo: Muwhahahaha... Smo belly flops on top of Gro. Smo proceeds to get up and kicks Gro a couple of times. Gro grabs Smo's foot and throws him down to the ground. The screen suddenly goes black. The struggle is heard, but nothing can be seen. Banging, punching, and crashes can be heard...... The screen fades back in. Smo and Gro are both lying unconscious on the floor. Manny walks through with a group of 4 ladies. He looks down in shame at Smo and Gro. Manny: Deja vu? I think so. That's it for this epsiode of NGFL: Case Studies. Manny walks out and the screen fades to black. |
