Now follow me, said RC. Another tour you will need. And so it was that FRANNIE and DOSSIE gained access to the upper floors of former Suit KATIE’s Westside abode. Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang
FADE IN:
KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE – UPSTAIRS OFFICE
RC THE GREMLIN
Ladies… This is where the magic happens… or rather… a lot of the magic…
The ladies look around…
FRANNIE
She certainly loves her TECH…
DOSSIE
Yes, and… the balance is remarkable… There’s a lot of fun to this room and…
The Manga-Zone slide…
RC follows her eyes and presses a button.
RC THE GREMLIN
A stander desk… If she had this back in the day…
Stander desk with presets…
DOSSIE
Wow! Show us… What did you…?
RC THE GREMLIN
Presets… She has STANDING. LEANING. And sitting in that HIGH CHAIR.
FRANNIE
Nice!
DOSSIE
Lots of options. Plus…
She points to the desk next to the stander desk.
FRANNIE
Ah… A seated feet flat on floor classic!
A classic…!
RC THE GREMLIN
She tends to eat breakfast up here because the light is good. In the winter, it is very warm and comfortable here.
Points to the window with the top and bottom life shade.
DOSSIE
That plant is thriving for sure.
FRANNIE
As is our Katie.
They scope out her “eating” desk and note…
DOSSIE
A Kindle? What’s… The Dentist?
FRANNIE
Below it… a boxed set of…
They both move closer to examine their findings and RC fills them in.
RC THE GREMLIN
That KINDLE shows the title of the book currently being read… THE DENTIST is the first of a series featuring a detective who’s… as they say, on spectrum. She saw an interview with the author and then… a couple of clicks and it magically appeared here.
At this point, Dossie takes ownership of the KINDLE and is reading away. While she’s in her zone, RC glances at the clock.
RC THE GREMLIN
I gotta SCRAMBOLA… Get some things hooked up in the SHED so the guys can continue their experiments.
…The Guys?? Are all of them Lab-ing out now?
FRANNIE
The Guys? Are all of them Lab-ing out now?
RC THE GREMLIN
Nah… Joey and Doc are on a WEST CLIFF WALK FEETS excursion… which I highly recommend ladies especially around the time Katie leaves for her shift. Early AM great for surfers and birds and dog walkers and…
West Cliff wandering…
DOSSIE
Us!! Sounds grand!
She turns her attention back to the KINDLE as THE DENTIST story beckons.
FRANNIE
No worries, RC. I’ll keep an eye on her. Now YOU scurry along. You can tell us SHED TALES next time we meet up.
He nods and as they say… Takes his leave.
The “& More” Part…
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE – LAB/WORKOUT CORNER
Another stop he had to make before reconnecting with the Lab guys.
As he looked around Katie’s indoor WORKOUT zone, he noticed stacks and stacks of computer equipment.
RC THE GREMLIN
Never really paid attention before but… Quite the computer lab she’s got here. I recall her saying it sprouted out of necessity during the COVID lockdown.
During COVID the lab was born…
He explores and finds a box with POWER STRIPs.
RC THE GREMLIN
Cool and … I remember… Seeing my eyes… GEAR GUY has a super long ORANGE extension cord… heavy duty in the… GARAGE maybe…?
RC swiftly exits the LAB / WORKOUT zone but within seconds, is back…
Spin-n-Read Zone…
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotta KNOW… That one… might could… so many… won’t notice if…
A Repurposed Special…
This time RC slowly exits while balancing a MACBOOK PRO.
RC THE GREMLIN
I believe… this was used when GEAR GUY presented to his group… at the FLY FISHIN’ club meeting, so … It oughta… well maybe…
It’ll be temporary… Just to get the 3by3 projection thingie going. This puppy is HEAVY STOUT… Not ideal but it worth a try…
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. GEAR GUY’S SHED
RC approaches with MacBook PRO in hand and a SATCHEL-PAK full of cables. He stretches the ORANGE extension cord from the house to just outside the SHED, and smiles.
RC THE GREMLIN
Cool! Let’s get everything charged up so when they …
As he opens the SHED door, he is so stunned he almost drops the MacBook PRO in his astonished reaction to what he finds.
Playstation…??
It seems that TOMMIE and FRANKIE have set up a TV monitor and a gaming console. They are fussing with hookups when RC’s entrance casts light on their activities.
FRANKIE
Oh, hey there RC…!
Tommie’s eyes land on the outstretched extension cord and he immediately plugs it into the POWER STRIP and presses the ON switch.
RC THE GREMLIN
Good morning to you too Mr TOMMIE…
Of course, our deaf MAD INVENTOR hasn’t heard the greeting. However the joy of power garners RC a nod.
FRANKIE
Thanks, RC! Your timing is perfect.
The PLAYSTATION is being fired up and they stand back while Tommie gets it going.
RC THE GREMLIN
It’s amazing how he can just…
Got the power…
FRANKIE
Right…?
RC THE GREMLIN
How did you…?
FRANKIE
He did. A pile over there (he points). Somehow… I just know that when I woke up, he was running around playing with all kinds of…
Points around the Shed.
FRANKIE
Gear Guy is apparently quite the GADGET GUY too…
All that equipment…!
RC THE GREMLIN
Yes, and… Very particular about his stuff so best to steer clear… direct his attention AWAY as the temptation WILL BE great to play with…
He points to the shelf with the HAM RADIO EQUIPMENT and the STARLINK PORTABLE KIT.
Starlink Shelf…
FRANKIE
That is…
RC whispers.
RC THE GREMLIN
An extensive collection of Ham Radio equipment and that (he points) is Gear Guy’s Starlink.
FRANKIE
No need to whisper, remember?
RC THE GREMLIN
Oh… Right…
FRANKIE
Starlink you said…?
Frankie scrambles for his RAZR and fires it up to show a page with details. He reads while showing RC.
FRANKIE
Starlink Mini is a compact, portable Kit with a built-in router that can easily fit in a backpack, designed to provide fast, reliable internet on the go.
RC THE GREMLIN
As I was saying… Steer clear… Re-direct. Please…
Then again, if he gets the PLAYSTATION going that might do the trick.
Frankie nods and RC shows him the MacBook PRO.
RC THE GREMLIN
If he DOES get bored, get him to play with this. The WiFi should reach and maybe THIS will drive that cute 3by3 projector.
FRANKIE
I gotcha. He’ll complain about the size, but…
RC THE GREMLIN
Tell him its a FIRST THINGS FIRST approach. And… I’ll have Doc and Joey help you run block. When the time comes, we might be able to sneak Tommie into the truck for a DRIVE-ABOUT with GEAR GUY so he can experience all this cool equipment and then… one of you… whoever tags along, can lend a second set of ears — literally — just to make sure we don’t MUCK with anything that’ll …
FRANKIE
Piss him off…?
RC THE GREMLIN
He hearts his gear… Thus the reason the NO GIRLZ sign is on the door.
Shed? What shed…?
FRANKIE
Gotcha, RC!
RC bows.
RC THE GREMLIN
I believe my work here is done.
FRANKIE
Got it… Now you… Get yourself a snack or something. Check in later. We’re good.
And without further ado, RC disappears down the street.
FADE OUT.
Stay tuned…
TO. BE. CONTINUED…
That’s a Wrap…
Fun times ahead, yes?
We’ll give you a peek at what’s on the gaming console…
Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…
