Alana Allure’s Office….




(Off Camera)



We see Alana standing next to the window behind her desk and she is staring out at the city as Eyesnsane is seated on the other side of her desk in a chair facing her.  As usual she is dressed in a professional mannor looking everybit the manager part.



Alana: I do the best I can with all of you.  I really do.  I go out of my way to ensure you have freedom, to ensure that I’m not coming off as some kind of mother hawk or something.  Then you go and do this kind of shit!

Eyesnsane: Look, Alana.  I’m sorry I just wanted…

Alana: I really don’t give a damn how sorry you are or what you wanted.  Look after the stunt you pulled in 2009 you were lucky we found a way for the government to allow you back into the country for work.

Eyesnsane: That stuff was so long ago…

Alana: You are right that was a long time ago, and they still remember!  Although here is the thing I have been struggling with.  You went back.  You know you got banned from entering Mexico, right?

Eyesnsane: Yeah, but after all these years I just ….

Alana: You just.  You just, let’s talk about what you just go out there and do.



Alana walks over to her desk and picks up a rather thick manilla folder holding it in front of herself as she now stands between her desk and looking into the folder.



Alana: Let’s see.  Impersonating a police officer, Impersonating a doctor.  Reckless endangerment, child endangerment.  Medical fraud, malpractice.  Oh wait this one is my favorite.  Interference in a multinational federal investigation.  Extortion, kidnapping, solicitation of prostitution, driving while under the influence and trafficking narcotics.  Last time you were in Mexico this is more or less the list of things you just managed to do.

Eyesnsane: Ok, look that was a long time ago, and I kind of went wild once I got the business credit card.  I’m not saying it was anybody’s fault but my own.  I’m just saying that I might have lost my head a bit.  Also when you read the list like that it makes me sound like I’m some kind of bad boy…..



Pausing for a moment, Eyesnsane turns to his right to look into the camera being held by Ted that he is supposed to be pretending is not even in the room.  While looking at the camera he gives a playful wink at the camera and turns his head back to Alana.



Alana: Oh, so you got jokes and you think this is all funny huh?

Eyesnsane: No, no it’s not that at all.  In fairness I explained all of that before.  Sure there was some weed in the car and I did happen to smoke some of it, while driving in front of the federales, not a great idea.  But I found it in the car after driving into Mexico, I felt luck the car did not get checked at the border.  So I decided to just smoke it since there was enough left for a blunt and one was in the car.  There was like nobody on the road that I could see for miles in either direction so I figured why not.

Alana: Why not huh?

Eyesnsane: Yeah and then most of that other trouble was me dealing with Lucia.  How was I supposed to know that she was a drug lord's daughter?  I mean you can’t exactly see that on a person, and sure between drinking the water and the alcohol things got kind of crazy.  I was blitzed and half the time I was in that hospital I swore she and I were just playing doctor.



Alana: turns some pages in the folder while still looking at the documents.



Alana: Yes, that’s what you told authorities you thought the two of you were running a 3d simulation game.  Jesus Christ, were you high when they asked you questions?

Eyesnsane: Honestly I’m not sure, a lil Molly, some X, whatever we were drinking, and you know cocaine is a hell of…

Alana: Just stop.  Ok stop.  Help me to understand why you would just get a wild hair up your ass and go galavanting back through Mexico.  I mean what could have been so important?  Was this under the orders of Master Wong?

Eyesnsane: No, and why would you ask…

Alana: I’m asking because you maybe a lot of things but stupid is generally not one of those things.  So help me understand Eyesnsane, damn James.  I’m really trying to keep my temper.

Eyesnsane: Might I ad you are doing a fine job at just that.

Alana: No you may not add that you think I’m doing a good job.  Shit like this makes it look to Master Lilly like I am not able to handle my job.  You see James, that’s the line right there.  I need you to wake the hell up and check the hell in.  These things you go do.  These wild ideas that creep into your head, they don’t just have an effect on you.  They affect us all believe it or not.  I have to get on the phone and explain this all to Lilly.  So tell me what made you go to Mexico.

Eyesnsane: I had to go to an old temple.  I wanted to see it first hand and explore it.  So you see it’s not at all like the last time.



Alana sits down in her chair placing the documents and folder down on her desk in front of her.  She turns over a few more papers before seeming to find what she is looking for.



Alana: Yes this time was different.  They have only sighted you with illegally entering the country, possible destruction of a national monument, illegal trespass.  Tampering with a historical sight.  Killing of a protected animal species.  Oh and they suspect you have illegally transported fruits and vegetables and possibly animals out of the country…..



Alana sighs deeply as she wipes her face with her empty right hand and leans back all the way in her chair while looking up at Eyesnsane.  



Alana: You are going to have to appear in court, they want you in jail right now.  If you so much as look across the border they will come for you.  If you cross the border again from this point going forward I can no longer guarantee your protection.

Eyesnsane: What… what’s that supposed to mean?

Alana: Come on now, you’re a big boy.  I think you know exactly what it means.

Eyesnsane: Oh so it’s like that?

Alana: You damn right and look in the mirror when you say it boo, boo because you and you alone are the one who made it like this!  So don’t even come at me with the slightest bit of attitude.  Check that shit right now!



Alana looks fiercely at Eyesnsane as she then smoothes her clothing as she stands up.  Then Alana goes into her right hand desk drawer and removes a new I-phone.  She closes the drawer and walks around to the front of her desk so that she is in between him and the desk.  



Alana: Bit of good with the bad.



Alana holds up the cell phone next to her with a slight grin on her face.



Alana: It seems that while Master Lilly is state side we were tying up some things with the cell provider.  Turns out it was upgrade time for us and the contract covered everybody’s phone so if you’ll give me yours I’ll transfer your stuff on this new one for you.



Eyesnsane reaches into his pocket and produces his cell phone while handing it over to Alana.  Alana turns around while turning her laptop around as she taps the keys before attaching Eyesnsane”s old phone.  After a few moments have passed Alana disconnects the old phone and attaches a cord to the new phone.  A few more minutes pass before Alana hands Eyesnsane the new phone.



Alana: Here’s your phone, and here’s the deal.  You are on a short ass leah, I’m in the process of seeing if this is the kind of trouble I can get you out of myself or if I’ll need to explain this all to Master Lilly as well.  I really did not need this shit right now.  You were doing such a good job of not fucking up.  

Eyesnsane: I got it.

Alana: So when you leave Ted will be waiting for you, and he has your itinerary.  He’s going to make sure that you stick to it as well.  You are not going to give him any trouble about travel at all, while I sort out all this new work you made for me.  Now get the fuck out of might sight before I really lose my fucking temper…..



Alana reaches for the stapler that’s on her desk as Eyesnsane gets up and heads across the room to the door.  He grabs the handle and turns and looks back at Alana just in time to see her with the stapler raised up by her head as he exits the room very quickly closing the door behind himself.  Ted who was sitting in a chair next to the door stands up…



Ted: You ok?

Eyesnsane: It could be worse.




Cluck! Is the loud sound heard from the other side of the door




Eyesnsane: So we should probably get going, right?

Ted: Uh, yeah let’s go.  We can go to my office downstairs, I can get you to voice your parts for  the animation.

Eyesnsane: You that’s right, I somehow let that slip my mind.



The two of them walk over to the elevator, Ted presses the button and after a few moments the door opens allowing them both to step onto the elevator as the door closes as opposed to selecting a number, Ted places his thumb on a plate and then the plate lights up and remains lit until the door opens and they both step out onto another floor of the building.  Once reaching the door on the right Ted again presses his thumb to a plate next to the door and it opens up for him.

As they step into the office, studio combination, we see Eyesnsane looking all around the place seemingly in awe of what he sees.  There is a wall of large screens and computers, cameras of various sizes.  Eyesnsane heads toward a couch and sits down, but Ted walks right up to him and hands him some papers….



Ted: Don’t get comfortable.  These are your scripts for the skits I’m going to put together for the first episode of the cartoon.

Eyesnsane: Oh wow really, we are ready to do that already?

Ted: Well Had you not been off on your adventure you could have done this with everybody else when they were here.

Eyesnsane: Awe man that sounds cool.

Ted; Yeah it is pretty cool.  So look this is the easy part.  In all these you are reading for yourself.  You just need to go in the booth and put on the head set.  From there what I will do is play the vocals of the scene and at the same time you will see a monitor playing the scene out, to helo you get into it.  In the headset you’ll hear a faint short beep, those are your ques.  When you hear those read your lines as your character should deliver them, I’ll be listening and filtering from just in that room and other side of the glass.

Eyesnsane: Ok, that all sounds easy enough.  So this is how I get to see the episode as my sneak peak.

Ted: Eeeh not really, most other scenes are done already so there’s a lot you wont see right now aside from scenes you are in, but don’t worry it won’t be long before I have everything edited together and a finished product for you all to see.

Eyesnsane: Ok, that’s what’s up.



Eyesnsane walks over to the booth area with Ted and they both step through a door that leads to a room with multiple boards and switches, at the other end of the room is another door that leads to an inner room where the microphone and stool are set up with a nearby table that has a bottle of water on it.  Just to the left of all of that is a monitor with a dark and blank screen at the moment.

Eyesnsane walks into the padded inner room and places the headphones on his head.  As Ted closes the outer door and then takes a seat in the center of all the boards and switches were there is also a slim and long and flexible microphone.  Ted leans toward his microphone and presses the controls….



Ted: Alright, alright, can you hear me?



Eyesnsane looks up at Ted and gives him a thumbs up.



Ted: That’s not the cone of silence bro.  Let me hear you talk, give me a mic check.



Eyesnsane leans into the microphone



Eyesnsane: Hello, can you hear me?

Ted: Loud and..

Eyesnsane: Hey, mic check one two what is this?

Ted: Eeeh! I said I hear you.  Just cause you in a booth don’t make you a rapper.  Now look over to you right is the monitor on?

Eyesnsane: Yeah man its on.

Ted: Alright, get yourself together and let me know when you are ready and I’ll roll everything.




After a few moments…




Eyesnsane: Ok, I’m ready let’s get it going.



Ted claps his hands together as Eyesnsane finishes his last line for the cartoon.  Ted leans toward the microphone and presses a button.



Ted: Ok we got it, come on out of there man.



Eyesnsane takes off the headphones and places them on the nearby table and gathers up his scripts in his hands as he moves from the inner padded room to the outer room where Ted is.  



Ted: Well that’s it for you guys, the rest is pretty much me from here on out.  I just have to edit it al together versus how it will be used in footage and son on and so forth.

Eyesnsane: I’m going to pretend like i understand everything you just said and say ok.

Ted: Ah don’t worry You guys will see the finished product and it will be all good by then I just still have some work to do on it.

Eyesnsane: Suits me just fine.  So, Alana mentioned that you had my itinerary.

Ted: Oh yeah we do hhave a schedule to be mindful of.

Eyesnsane: No worries, just let me know what’s up and you will get no complaints from me.

Ted: Well we are supposed to be in Philly by at least four pm tomorrow.

Eyesnsane: How about we grab some food and just fly out to Philly tonight, then we can get a nice early start on thing tomorrow.

Ted: I don’t see anything wrong with being ahead of schedule.

Eyesnsane: Also if something weird happens then we won’t be all rushed if we get held up or something, or a flight is a little late.

Ted: No I get you, what do you want to eat?

Eyesnsane: I actually want some JJ Fish.

Ted: That does sound good, come on man lets go.  I’ll drive…

Eyesnsane: Great, I’ll drink.



Seated at one of the tables at JJ Fish they both have their food in front of them and are getting ready to dig in.



Ted: Hey, can I ask you something?

Eyesnsane: Sure.  What?

Ted: You and the doctor got a thing going on?



There are a few moments of silence as Eyesnsane chews his food while looking at Ted.  After he finishes chewing up with a good swallow…



Eyesnsane: No, and why would you even ask me that?

Ted: Well it was really just the whole thing about not letting you travel with her anymore.  Although I suppose if you were being late and running off here and there I can see her just wanting to try anybody else.  
Eyesnsane: It was not her fault.

Ted: Oh I’m sure.  I’m going to tell you just like I told Alana.  I’ll keep track of your schedule and take care of your footage and you will not get any DUI’s with me.  Aside from that you are a grown ass man and you are going to do what you want when and how you want to do it and I can only say so much to you in any given situation but ultimately whatever you do or don’t do is all about you.

Eyesnsane: Yeah I get that man.

Ted: Good so long as we understand each other, they say understanding is the key.



They continue eating their food and sipping on their sodas.



Ted: Any ideas on what you want to do as far as your footage is concerned?

Eyesnsane: No not really, I just figured we would figure that out between now and tomorrow.  

Ted: Ok, I have not come up with anything just yet either.
