And so it was that former Suit KATIE settled into conveying her thoughts on how the Sourdough workshop should go… Next time is NEXT TIME !! Seems that for her to continue her FLO, she is compelled to release this and move on, since she can’t turn off her mind… unsee what she saw and how she felt from the experience.
Let’s listen in for WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…–The Gang.
We’ll begin at the beginning.
FADE IN:
INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN
It’s early morning and Katie is scribbling away in her JOURNAL while also glancing from time-to-time at a 3-pages (double-sided), stapled document.
Her scribbles include sketches (scribbles) of FLO.
And on one side she has written:
SAY IT. SHOW IT. SAY IT AGAIN.
Her pal, RC the GREMLIN / STORYTELLER is hanging back –observing. He’s so focused on what Katie is doing that he hasn’t touched his TRIGGER MUG with 4A coffee.
Trigger Mug…
RC talks to himself, out of earshot.
RC THE GREMLIN
That “Say it” phrase… I think… Yeah it was in the media training they’d give the clients. To ensure the TALKING POINTs actually get through… absorbed and “fingers crossed,” repeated in the ensuing write-up. This approach? Remember it well. In fact, it works for sales pitches too!
RC is doing a mental REWIND — seeing in his mind’s eye the PROCESS (end-to-end):
RC THE GREMLIN
Today we’re going to [BLANK]…
Do/Show [BLANK].
Then RE-CAP: “What you just saw…”
He takes a swig of the NOW COLD 4A and makes a face.
RC THE GREMLIN
Might as well…She’s probably FLO-d enough by now, so my warmup … a distraction it WON’T be…
Two presses of the microwave later, he returns to the table sipping his piping hot beverage, which she sniffs without looking in his direction. A smile crosses her face.
KATIE
That smells REALLY good…
RC jumps up.
RC THE GREMLIN
A warm-up, Ms Katie?
He starts to reach for her TRIGGER mug, but is waived off.
KATIE
No thanks, my friend. Been at it for a while. Ready to put PENCIL’s DOWN and incubate during my PITTER-PATTER West Cliff run… background task it a bit.
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotcha! Do your thing (pause) So… Okay if…?
He points at what she’s written.
KATIE
Normally, no… Then again, like YOU don’t know what I’m going to say… Perceptive like Happy Puppy KEE-RA with a whole other level of…
RC hold up his “invisible remote control” and pretends he’s FAST-FORWARDing.
KATIE
Stop that, you! Okay… please to give what I’ve written a sanity check… sometimes I get going so…
RC THE GREMLIN
Fast… GALLOPing as husband GEAR GUY says, right?
KATIE
Yup! And whichever manager, back in the day, who said PUT IT IN WRITING… I totally get the point.
Throwback from Suit days…
KATIE
It makes you THINK out your THOUGHTS a bit… in a validating sort of way… Circling back to the “WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING to SOLVE?” question.
… Circling back to the “WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING to SOLVE?” question…
She pushes her notebook towards him.
KATIE
Please do…
RC THE GREMLIN
WILL DO! Thanks! Talk later, yes?
KATIE
Indeed. Hopping the COVEY “INSIDE-OUT” train, so the sooner the better.
A bow. A FIST BUMP. AN EXIT.
FADE OUT.
WHAT. SHE. SKETCHED…
Strategist Katie…
That’s a Wrap…
Clearly, Ms Katie has a lot on her mind. Please stay tuned for WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…
Of course, we’ve got some tunes to help you pass the time.
Enchanted Jukebox Jams…
Enchanted Jukebox…
Padam-ing Bread…
