And so it was that RC had a DING!! which triggered an impromptu discussion… a shifting of gears to a new challenge: — helping him help Happy Barista KIMBA…
Let’s follow along to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang
At the end of the last DISH-PATCH, it was RC the GREMLIN / STORYTELLER’s turn to DING!! (Thumb on top of head and pinky finger pointing skyward). This is where we find out what THAT was all about…
FADE IN:
INT. SANTA CRUZ COFFEE ROASTING COMPANY
There’s a pause. Followed by another “DING!” — Thumb on top of head and pinky finger pointing skyward. The two members of the LP GANG, DOSSIE & FRANNIE, who were hanging out with him, eyed him curiously.
FRANNIE
You too, pal? What’s that about…?
RC THE GREMLIN
Shifting gears, my ladies. Maybe you can help me with something that’ll help happy barista Kimba.
FRANNIE
Oh?
She’s scone-challenged and I think I have the solution…
RC THE GREMLIN
She’s scone-challenged and I think I have the solution…
DOSSIE
Making scones?
RC THE GREMLIN
Procuring them as her Auntie hearts Safeway scones… which have been discontinued.
DOSSIE
Safeway?
FRANNIE
Grocery store … on Mission. We’ve passed it a few times.
RC THE GREMLIN
K-so… We were on the way to try out Scone-vita and got there too late.
FRANNIE
What’s Scone-vita.
RC THE GREMLIN
Check it out.
FRANNIE
That’s where Zup the Pilot was taking us I believe, right Dossie?
DOSSIE
Yeah… That picture looks familiar.
RC THE GREMLIN
Maybe you ladies can give it a try… a sanity check… Imagine you know your way around scones, eh Dossie?
FRANNIE
So cliche, buddy…. I do scones too you know.
RC THE GREMLIN
My bad… Please to help.
DOSSIE
Of course. Shall we JOBY outta here?
FRANNIE
Uh… I’ll pass.
DOSSIE
What… Because of… from before? He wasn’t going THAT fast…
Frannie gives her a look.
RC picks up his RAZR and taps. There’s a pause.
RC THE GREMLIN
She’s close. Will pick us up shortly.
FRANNIE
She??
RC THE GREMLIN
Kimba our Uber Driver… She went to Comicopolis. Probably checking out some new… er used MANGA.
And now the swoosh sound of an approaching JOBY DRONE can be heard as ZUP approaches.
DOSSIE
Guess this is where we part ways…
RC THE GREMLIN
Time for me to circle back to the home-SHED.
FRANNIE
Like homestead! Good one! If you don’t mind, I’ll ride along with ya as it’ll be good to see what the boys are up to…
…And to make sure they are stayin’ out of trouble… Promised Katie I’d keep an eye on things.
RC THE GREMLIN
…And to make sure they are stayin’ out of trouble… Promised Katie I’d keep an eye on things.
FADE OUT.
That’s a Wrap… !
Sort of…
There’s a little “POST-SCRIPT” / “ADDENDUM” we’d like to throw in.
INT. JOBY DRONE
And so it was that Zup the Pilot picked up Dossie. But it wasn’t for a SCONIN’ outing. Rather, to work on PROJECT DK (AKA Getting Mr Squeek to buy-in, so to speak, on what Suit-in-Transition, MEREDITH is developing).
They take off heading down the coast to do a little sight-seeing before beginning their task.
After letting Dossie enjoy the views for a bit, Zup dips and circles back towards the WHARF and LIGHTHOUSE. Tossing his RAZR to her, he motions for her to check it out.
So Dossie flips open the RAZR and enlarges the picture while Zup the Pilot chuckles softly to himself.
A huge smile crosses her face.
DOSSIE
So someone did a version of my GUINNESS piece swapping in an eagle and a pretzel, eh? Very clever.
She pauses while trying to make out what Zup the Pilot is saying.
DOSSIE
Ah… This was gifted to our former Suit KATIE by her brother… The MIX-TAPE guy still living back EAST. Gotcha.
Dossie is tapping away on the RAZR and ends up on the PHILLYGOAT website where she finds the shirt among all kinds of creative stuff. Then she clicks on the “ABOUT”.
DOSSIE
There it is… The answer or at least a better story that our DK should be willing to bless… For sure, there’s work to do on our side going forward, but … This’ll be a good ice-breaker.
Handing the RAZR back to the Pilot, she motions to him…
DOSSIE
Lead on! Let’s track down our Wonder/Wander (Wander/Wonder) friend, shall we?
And with an extra burst (of SWOOOSH !!!) they are OM (AKA On the Move / On a Mission).
DOSSIE
Woo-hoo !!
FADE OUT.
Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…
