Seinfeld Spec Scene

Note: I wrote this a long time ago before learning proper television formatting.

If you want to write for television, you often need a spec script - a sample of a script for an existing television series that you wrote to demonstrate your abilities to construct a coherent story and dialogue.  I chose to write a spec script for Seinfeld.  Here is a sample scene.













INT. JERRY’S APT.

[Jerry stands in his kitchen with the phone to his ear. George sits silently on the couch reading a magazine.]

Jerry: Are you trying to tell me that I ate three helpings of dog meat?  I thought it was corned beef hash!... Why didn’t you tell me?... Well of course I wouldn’t have eaten it if I knew if was dog meat!  I wish you would have told me! Aaah, forget it!

[Jerry hangs up.]

George: What was that all about?

Jerry: It was my mother, lying about meat products again.

George: The last person who lied about meat to me was that hooker in Times Square, I should have known that wasn’t a bratwurst in her pocket.  Turns out it was a penis (snort laugh).

Jerry: So how did your date go with Lisa?

George: Not so good. She said the whole “bald thing” bothers her.  I told her I could wear a wig but she insisted that if it’s not my real hair then I am SHIT OUTTA LUCK!

[Elaine enters]

Elaine: Please tell me you have toilet paper.

Jerry: Sure, I got a whole bunch of Charmin, what’s wrong?

Elaine: Ugh, you would not BELIEVE how much diarrhea I’ve had today.  Just now as I was walking here I had to stop and drop a load in a KFC, only to find that there was…

Jerry: No Charmin?

Elaine: No Charmin.

George: Don’t tell me it was the KFC on 34th!

[Elaine looks guilty and ashamed]

Jerry: You mean to tell me you walked ten blocks completely unsanitary?... Unbelievable. 

George: What the fuck is wrong with you, why didn’t you just go into another bathroom?

[Frustrated, Elaine storms into the bathroom]

George: What got into her?

Jerry: I’m more concerned about what came out.

[Kramer bursts through the door, unlit cigar in hand]

Kramer: Jerry I got it!

Jerry: (Sarcastically) Oh boy, here we go.

Kramer: Hair Today, Here Tomorrow.

Jerry: What?

Kramer: It’s the name of my new business – get a load of this Jerry – a service where people can grow out their hair then cut it, send it to a wig company where they dye it any color you like and then get it sent back so they can have a wig of their own hair in the color they always wanted, it’s brilliant!

[Elaine walks out of the bathroom]

Kramer: Elaine, let me ask you a professional question…

Elaine: Sure.

Kramer: Does the carpet match the drapes?

Elaine: I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?

[Elaine strips down nude and strikes a pose]

Kramer: (Shocked) GIDDY UP!

Jerry: Oh for cryin’ out loud.

[George ponders then has an epiphany]

George: That’s it… I could turn my carpet into a wig and then Lisa would have no reason to object to me because it would be my real hair! 

[George stands up, excited]

George: Kramer you’re a genius!

Kramer: Well I wouldn’t argue with that (bites cigar and smiles).

Senior Bob's Weekend

How was my weekend?  It was awful.  It was either too hot or too cold, the traffic was bad, and there were too many Mexicans everywhere.

On Friday my wife and I went to the movies but it was too hot when I got in the car and the traffic on the way there was terrible.  When we got there the movie theater was too cold and the movie had too many Mexicans in it, and all the scenes looked like the actors were too hot and there was a chase scene with really bad traffic. 

When we got home it the house wasn't hot enough or cold enough and I couldn't check the traffic report on the television because all the Mexican news anchors could barely speak English.  I made some soup that was too spicy which reminded me of Mexico and how terrible the traffic must be down there in that hot weather.

Saturday morning I made some coffee that was too hot then I let it sit until it got too cold.  I went outside to get the paper and all these Mexicans were driving around like dingbats and I think one of them caused a traffic jam.  I sat outside and drank my cold coffee in the blazing hot sun while reading the traffic reports in the paper.  Then I got to mowing the lawn but it was too hot out so I hired a Mexican to mow my lawn but he wasn't going fast enough so I hired two more until there was too much lawn mower traffic on my lawn and the lawn mowers started over heating.

On Sunday I got up early to avoid traffic on the way to Church but my wife kept turning on the air conditioning which was too cold and it was too loud so I couldn't hear what channel the traffic report was on on the radio.  I eventually turned the air conditioning off to hear the radio and found out that I was on the damn Mexican station, and by that time the car had gotten too hot already.

What did I learn?  Between every car on the road there is air that is either too hot or too cold that is getting breathed by Mexicans, I reckon.

Weird Sketch

 Some weird sketch I made a while ago.

Hair Today Hair Tomorrow, an Essay by Urch Deepreach

If someone were to have come to me as a small boy and told me that I would pursue a career in the study of hair I would have not been surprised.  However, I did not pursue a career in hair science, rather it is just a fleeting hobby.  I find hair to be radically important in the construct of our society.  For instance, one can easily discern the ethnicity of another by examining their arm hair.  Red buoyancy?  You must be Scottish.  In Renaissance times, those of lower status were breed in such a manner that their hair could not grow beyond four inches, in an attempt to distinguish between the nobility and the lower class by hair length.  Nonetheless, hair of all types plays a key role in our lives.

But what is hair exactly?  According to dermatologists, hair is the product of cellular waste, thus, the more waste our cells expel, the richer and thicker our hair grows.  In fact, in extreme cases of constipation and long absence from bowel movement, waste expulsion through hair can result in chunky, sinewy deposits known as dreadlocks.

There is much controversy over the value of hair.  For instance, many men become troubled when they begin to lose hair, yet become equally as troubled when gratuitous hair appears in their food, or wedged generously within a woman's underparts.  And why is other people's hair welcomed when it comes in wig form yet rejected when it presents its self on the floor of a subway cart?  This idea is known as Sampson's paradox, and continues to be studied by leading dermatologists today. 

Some argue that dog hair carries superior value to human hair, as consumption of the hair of the dog is known to cure ailments such as hangovers.

Like many parts of our planet, hair continues to be a mystery that has yet to be solved.  At least we can still wonder about it in the meantime.

Glenald Simon's Review of The Three Stooges

After a long and serious phone call with my sister concerning my mother's nursing home finances and mental health, I dusted off my old VHS collection and found my Three Stooges tapes that I had not watched since my early thirties.  And goodness!  They were funnier than I remember!  Having some free time because I had gotten laid off for neglect, I spent the next two weeks watching all their films.  After hundreds of hours watching these grown men slap and poke each other while grunting and squeaking the whole way through was such a fantastic delight.  Towards the end of the tapes, I was laughing more in anticipation of a slap or a poke than the actual slap or poke!!!!  I especially love their food humor - a cake in the face here, a fork of beef flung across the room there, chicken legs, pies, peas and all kinds of funny foods being tossed around.  The only problem is I can't decide who is my favorite.  Larry has funny hair, but so does Moe, but then again Curly doesn't have any which is funny too (sigh). Moe
seems to be the man of the house but Curly makes those innocent yelps that make me feel free.  Larry does seem to be a pretty reasonable man though.  If only I could reach into the television set and pull out their black and white personalities to keep me company in my living room.  We would fall over, play with food, make silly sound effects with our mouths and poke each other all day long.  Good job Three Stooges, we'll miss you.

I'm a bee.

I put this post up yesterday when I was bored and had that Black Eyed Peas song "Imma be" stuck in my head.  I woke up this morning and realized what I had done and immediately went to my computer to delete this post.  However, I decided to put my ego aside leave up this horrible nonsense.


I'm a bee, I'm a bee, I'm a I'm a I'm a bee.



I'm a bee on the next level, I'm a bee rocking over that bass treble.

I'm a bee chillin with my mutha mutha crew, I'm a bee making all those deals that you want to do.

I'm a bee, brilliant with my millions loan out a billion get back a trillion.

I'm a bee, I'm a bee, I'm a I'm a I'm a bee.

Lookalikes

Most of us have a celebrity or peer that closely resembles us.  More than the average person, I have a lot of lookalikes.  I am constantly being told that I look like someone else.  Sometimes it distracts people, and attracts a lot of attention.  I guess I just have one of those faces. 

Here are the people that I get told I look like the most:

1. George Costanza.  Probably once a month someone tells me I look like him.


2. That guy from Reading Rainbow.  I frequently get asked if I am him when I go out somewhere.















3. Nacy Pelosi.  Most of my friends make the connection at one point or another.




















4. Plato.  I can kind of see it.




















5. A bowl of soup.  I can tell you that people have mentioned this one to me at least a few hundred times.  It's nice to get this one out of the way quickly when I first meet someone.

Facts and Wisdom from physics professor, Dr. Derbis Mulky

"If you look at water closely enough you can see that it is just wet air.  That is why the word 'water' sounds a bit like 'wetair'"

"I didn't know our planet was called earth until I was 19 years old.  Up until then, no one ever told me, and I never asked.  I thought 'earth' was the name of some sort of angry god.  Sometimes you have to ask questions when you want answers."

"You can't really go backwards.  Even if you walk backwards, you are still going forward.  The only direction that really exists is forward.  All other directions are works of fiction."

"Sometimes, you have to use words to communicate.  If you are going to write those words, make sure they are spelled correctly.  If the word does not exist because you made it up, spell it however you like."

"Counting is a peculuar activity.  I know where to start but I don't know where to stop.  Sometimes you have to know when to stop.  I learned that the hard way."

"The universe is made of lots of tiny energy vibrations.  When you see a human vibrating, that does not mean they are a universe, that just means they are very cold.  I learned that the hard way too."

"Dogs are not cats and cats are not dogs.  In physics that's what we call Meeper's Law."

"If atoms were large enough, we could use them to build things.  That is also called Meeper's Law."

Dick Cheney on Dogs

I have a bloodhound named Dwarf.  He's four years old.  Every other morning I hold Dwarf down with my elbow and dangle a piece of bacon from my breakfast in front of his face, just close enough so he can smell it but he can't eat it, and then I eat it right in front of his face, and then I laugh and laugh.  No bacon for Dwarf. 

I used to have a female bloodhound but she ran away after chewing through the screen door.  The breeder kept calling the dog one of the bitches of the litter.  I said she looked more like a cunt to me.  I named her Cunt.  Sometimes when Cunt was sleeping, I used to stick my fingers in her nostriles to see how long it would take her to realize she was not breathing and wake up.  Sometimes it took five minutes.  She would get up and walk away to find a different spot to sleep, and I would laugh and laugh.

The Adventures of Tom Longnose

So I used to have this character I drew in 8th grade to avoid paying attention in class.  His name was Tom Longnose, and he always ended up doing inappropriate things with his rather long nose.  Here's an old MS Paint sketch.
