When our previous post started running long, the Super Editor jumped in and we had to do that Pencil’s down / To be Continued thing.
Well, here we are… “continuing” !
And as we worked on “30b”, we realized that MORE BACK STORY was needed, so you’ll see a link to “30c”, which we hope you’ll enjoy.
Without further ado, let’s follow along to see WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT. –The Gang.
Previously…
Let’s back up just a tad…
We’ll start this tale at the point where former Suit KATIE’s husband, GEAR GUY shows up in the kitchen just as RC is studying Katie’s Musings…
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN
RC is intently focused on KATIE’S MUSINGs, he feels a presence.
RC THE GREMLIN
Could it be…? Howdy Mr GEAR GUY! Want some…?
RC stands and points to the coffee pot while nudging the JOURNAL to the side (as though to shield from Gear Guy’s eyes.
By the elbow, guides Gear Guy to the coffee pot and then grabs a TRIGGER MUG.
Trigger Mug…
GEAR GUY
Fresh?
RC THE GREMLIN
Well… Close enough… It’s her 4A special. Go ahead and give it a…
They tap mugs and sip.
GEAR GUY
That is a TASTY BEVERAGE!
RC THE GREMLIN
Right? Some serious gourmet shit… Better than that freeze dried, Taster’s Choice …
Voiced like Jules in Pulp Fiction.
GEAR GUY
Yeah… I miss drinking this… serious gourmet shit…
Also, sounding like Jules in Pulp Fiction. Then his attention shifts back to where RC was sitting…
GEAR GUY
And… What are you up to this fine day?
RC THE GREMLIN
Who me? (pause) Curious to find out… She was on such a roll this morning… Had to…
GEAR GUY
Learn more… So… was it… a breakthrough? Caught a glimpse of her bounding down the street… TIGGER-LIKE, so figured something happened.
Moves like Tigger…
RC THE GREMLIN
Oh yeah. See? The words…?
Points to the 11-by-14s (which just so happen to be covering the JOURNAL).
[And now we continue…]
GEAR GUY
Ah… HANDS-ON !
RC THE GREMLIN
Which come to think of it… Yeah… it pre-dates you but… The breakthrough that happened THAT night… had a HANDS-ON element… Ball throwing… RIGHTY-LEFTY… sort of loosened up her brain to…
GEAR GUY
She told me… weird at the time… the experience was, but seemingly other breakthroughs had a hands-on and … ties to MUSCLE MEMORY… which ties to…
RC THE GREMLIN
Golf!! You guys playing today?
A big smile crosses Gear Guy’s face.
GEAR GUY
Ah… perfect segue. Follow me, RC… Got something to show ya.
RC THE GREMLIN
Some sort of GEAR unveil, no doubt?
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE
They are now in the garage, and Gear Guy points to Katie’s golf bag.
GEAR GUY
Check it out…!
He excitedly pulls out a wedge and hands it to RC.
RC THE GREMLIN
Uh… Yes, and…
GEAR GUY
How’s it feel?
Puzzled RC grasps the club and gives Gear Guy a look, shaking his head.
RC THE GREMLIN
Ya got me… This is an area I haven’t ventured… GOLF?
Something that just … happens with you guys. I’m only there for the AFTER-BEER, remember?
Taking the club back, Gear Guy points to the grip.
Getting re-gripped…
GEAR GUY
Fresh. New. Grips!! Fresh. JUMBO… See? Non tapered and… truly suitable for how she plays.
Points to the bag.
GEAR GUY
Not too expensive of an upgrade either as she travels light…
Traveling light…
RC THE GREMLIN
Funny… we were just talking about that… So…
Studies the bag closely.
RC THE GREMLIN
Indeed… That like six sticks and a putter, right? You re-gripped…?
GEAR GUY
Six… left the putter alone. She’ll be… or should be surprised… pleasantly… Next time we…
Gripping the wedge, RC smiles.
RC THE GREMLIN
Does. Feel. Good…
Hands it back.
Once again… stuff ya didn’t know ya needed… Gear Guy delivers!!
RC THE GREMLIN
Once again… stuff ya didn’t know ya needed… Gear Guy delivers!!
GEAR GUY
Which reminds me…
Gear Guy motions for RC to follow him to a corner and then he points to where RC should focus his eyes.
GEAR GUY
UPS driver handed me a stack of packages. Timing was perfect as there’s some “shaking” out to do before the next FISH-OUT gathering I’m leading.
RC nods and then does a DOUBLE-TAKE as he recognizes the STICKER MULE envelope.
Busted!!
Gear Guy watches his reaction and laughs.
GEAR GUY
No worries… Gotcha covered.
RC THE GREMLIN
Huh?
GEAR GUY
You know… Actually… you probably don’t know… StickerMule has a logistics system that gives ya blow-by-blow tracking info… shipping and out for delivery…
RC THE GREMLIN
Whoops! That means she knows…
GEAR GUY
Not exactly… She THINKS the notifications are more of my TROUT ROUTE magnets as the first batch came from her account…
In the wild…
RC looks relieved.
GEAR GUY
Guilted her out a bit since she took so many to do her DUCKIN’ experiment.
RC THE GREMLIN
Thanks and… Let’s see how they came out.
GEAR GUY
They?
RC THE GREMLIN
A magnet experiment.
Gear Guy reaches into his cargo shorts and pulls out a YELLOW DEWALT box cutter.
Just as he’s about to hand it over, RC pulls out a GREEN KLEVER KUTTER and quickly opens the package. Scanning inside before pulling out its contents, a huge smile crosses his face.
Dueling blades…
RC THE GREMLIN
Y-E-S-!-!
Two shrink wrapped bundles are shaken onto the table. The KLEVER nimbly works its magic and the magnets are freed.
RC THE GREMLIN
Cool, right Guy?
RC sees the metal cabinet where Gear Guy keeps his files (FISHOUTs, Equipment Purchases, etc.) and slaps one of the magnets next to the GREEN TROUT ROUTE.
Fishout land…
GEAR GUY
Colorful! Makes mine look kinda…
While playing with the magnets, RC’s mind races along.
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotta see… literally… how they play in the Wild… I was not sure about the size, but the deal… figured it was worth a shot.
GEAR GUY
Oh… the 3-by-3 push? Figured that’s what happened and Ms Katie is too busy to drill down into the details —
RC fist bumps Gear Guy.
RC THE GREMLIN
Thanks, Dude! I’m outta here.
GEAR GUY
Wait… What?
RC THE GREMLIN
Oh… yeah… Right…
He hands over one of the stacks.
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotta show KIMBA the BARISTA “slash” UBER DRIVER as this is… HER design…
The SEABIRD. There’s a pin version kicking around. I just stepped it up a notch.
Can you… Share with Lady Katie? Just tell her, these arrived… no note or… Make something up.
RC winks.
GEAR GUY
Sure. Why not? Got ya covered, Sport. Now move along, she’ll be back soon…
With a THUMBS UP, RC trots away in one direction while Ms Katie walks up to the stoop from the opposite.
She sees Gear Guy and smiles.
GEAR GUY
Welcome back, my Lady! Get your stretch on and then… Come see! Many surprises on tap for you…
FADE OUT.
Stay tuned…
That’s a Wrap…
This time we feel we’ve left off at a better place PLUS… Not only do you get a fun song, but also a link to a throw-back… Literally “THROW”!
Enjoy and we’ll see ya next time!
