We are now going to shift gears and “circle around” to what we observed during the @TheSEA session. And while we’re at it, we may unveil what we perceive SHOULD. HAPPEN. NEXT.
May, you ask? Well, when you are doing group writing, sometimes you just don’t know. Our advice? READ ON! & FLEX-N-FLO! —The Gang

Ready For This ??
Previously…
All’s Well That Ends Well, Eh?
FADE IN:
EXT. WESTSIDE BREW PUB -TREE
Now we’ve shifted to the TREE POINT-OF-VIEW, as THE JEDEMI GANG (FRANNIE, DOSSIE, DOC, JOEY) are watching things wind down.
FRANNIE
What’s that saying? All’s well that ends well…
DOSSIE
Shakespeare… a play by Shakespeare… and yes, it appears that the evening indeed ENDED WELL.
FRANNIE
With the stage set for next week.
DOSSIE
A relief, no doubt, for Storyteller RC… he seems to be his own worst enemy.
FRANNIE
Right? Then again, we all play that role from time to time.
While the ladies are speaking, their pals JOEY and DOC are apparently off in their own world. Distracted by…?
Dossie and Frannie switch focus to them.
DOSSIE
Gentlemen…
[crickets]
FRANNIE
What’s got your…?
[more crickets]
And then… There’s a SNAP and a JUMP… as both NOW turn their attention to the ladies and what they’ve got to say.
DOC
Sorry…
JOEY
Rude… So rude… It’s just…
Doc holds up a phone.
Watson says…
DOC
Was doing a little research… following a hunch when…
He turns the phone around and shows the screen.
JOEY
Long range forecast has RAIN hitting HERE right around the time of the next @TheSEA session.
DOC
Which got us thinking… Has our RC had to contend with… WEATHER?
JOEY
Sun goes down and it COOLS… We know that.
DOC
Fog too! Much experience with that… uh… THICK MARINE LAYER…
JOEY
But RAIN… like full on… showers and drippy wet conditions?
DOC
Got us thinking, that’s all…
FRANNIE
Thinking… THE SHOW MUST GO ON…
JOEY
Something like that. Figured we should BRAIN STORM a bit and see how we can help before heading back over the hill.
DOC
You’re welcome to join us. Not in a rush to…
He points over the hill.
DOSSIE
Interesting challenge. I’m in!
FRANNIE
Me too!
FADE OUT.
Note & Noteworthy…
This is where new TAG-TEAMS are established. DOC & DOSSIE are one and JOEY & FRANNIE, the other.
Weather proofing the venue IS a priority, but then they hit on another idea worthy of attention. Let’s listen in…
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. CAT & CLOUD
The JEDEMI GANG has made their way to KIMBA’S DAY JOB, and are settled in at the VIV TABLE.
DOSSIE
Remarkable! Just like home!
DOC
Oh… and there’s KIMBA… Happy Barista… as perky as ever.
FRANNIE
After such a long evening too.
JOEY
She’s young…
FRANNIE
Young AND motivated.
DOC
Let me see if…
Doc steps away while the others doodle a bit on NAPKINs trying to convey their thoughts on the upcoming challenge.
JOEY
Well, ladies. This… has nothing to do with planning around WEATHER… exactly… But maybe… please hear me out.
FRANNIE
Go for it…
JOEY
I’ve been thinking… It’s pretty amazing the parallels between that story from THE WORLD OF JOY and… what our troublemaker buddy FRANKIE did when he launched LIBERTY FILMs.
Doc has arrived back at the VIV TABLE, holding up two STRING CLASP envelopes — one in each hand.
DOC
This has FINN-FINN… And… This has SQUEEKSCAPES.
DOSSIE
FINN-FINN?
He opens up one envelope and slides out a STAPLED document.
Greatest Gift 21st Century edition…
FRANNIE
That…?
Finn-Finn? The modern day version of… THE GREATEST GIFT.
JOEY
Modern day version of… THE GREATEST GIFT.
DOSSIE
Which is…
JOEY
The story we all know as IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE…
DOC
Our guy FRANKIE bought it from an insistent RKO studio chief who… knew it needed to be told.
Ah… as has our MR SQUEEK been insisting that FINN-FINN from the WORLD OF JOY needs to be told…
FRANNIE
Ah… as has our MR SQUEEK been insisting that FINN-FINN from the WORLD OF JOY needs to be told.
DOC
Yup!
DOSSIE
Indeed! Nice connection there.
FRANNIE
The story… how did…?
DOC
Special delivery… one day… via our PILOT PAL ZUP.
JOEY
When I read it… we read it…
DOC
DING!!
DING!Thing…
JOEY
As we see it, you ladies are already doing excellent work nudging LADY KATIE…
DOC
To suss out the story behind the story — how FINN-FINN is a proof point for DING!
FRANNIE
True as the HAPPY PUPPY connection is …
DOSSIE
Fascinating and a story onto itself.
It’s quiet as they observe.
DOC
Rashomon-style… But in a good way. We’re seeing the story from different POINTS OF VIEW.
DOSSIE
Brilliant! This will be fun!
FRANNIE
But… what about the WEATHER challenge? We still doing that?
DOC
We CAN do both, I believe … VENUE adjustments AND maybe a SHORT piece that can be shown during the SESSION and ALSO, posted online.
FRANNIE
Wow, Doc! Did you sleep last night? Seems like…
DOC
Don’t need much sleep. Learned that from observing our pal TOMMIE.
JOEY
Oh yeah… Had that napping thing down to a science… literally!
DOC
DO need help blocking-n-tackling…
JOEY
Feels also like a good time to get our pal FRANKIE involved since he obviously has that first hand GREATEST GIFT knowledge.
Frankie’s autobiography…
DOSSIE
Message the PILOT?
DOC
Done.
JOEY
Let’s get a WESTSIDE WALK-ABOUT in so we can work on that WEATHER thing.
FRANNIE
All together?
DOC
Proposing new pairings. DOSSIE, can you hang with me?
She nods.
FRANNIE
I got the professor… actually that’s perfect.
And the over the CAT & CLOUD SPEAKERS can be heard WATERFALLs.
C&C SOUND
Hold tight
It’s about time we go unwind
Let it all flow, and give me waterfalls
When we go, get in that zone
Let it all flow, and give me waterfalls
Good energy come through
Make me move, make me lose control Good energy come through
And make me move
Alright…
FADE OUT.
Pencils down…
Got you curious to learn WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT., right?
