Day 23 - A perfect perk for Friday!

Another fun treat … a never-before-seen script from the unproduced episode “Friday,” based on Rebecca Black’s fifteen minutes of fame.* Read & enjoy. And probably weep.

Check up on our indiegogo campaign here! Then spread it around!

*It is possible that when Yuri wrote this episode, he was going through a phase where he would sing this song all the time. I’m just saying… ALL THE TIME!**

**Shut up, Tara. You don’t know. I mean, it’s not like I was obsessed or anything.***

***I think you just proved that you were totally obsessed.****

****YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND HER BRILLIANCE! IT’S BEYOND YOU!! GAH!!!

THE SHELF - DAY

BUG BOY is hanging out on the shelf by himself.

He is singing Rebecca Black’s “Friday.”

                                                     BUG BOY

(singing)

“… Seven AM wakin’ up in the morning, gotta be fresh gotta go downstairs. Gotta have my bowl gotta have cereal. Seeing everything the time is going ticking on and on everybody’s rushing—”

HERO MAN has just walked on.

                                                   HERO MAN

                                          What were you doing?

Busted.

                                                     BUG BOY

                                                     Nothing.

                                                   HERO MAN

              You’re a dirty liar. You were singing that Rebecca Black song.

                                                     BUG BOY

                                                   No I wasn’t.

                                                   HERO MAN

               Not only does that song suck, but it sucked, like, a year ago.

                                                     BUG BOY

                                                     Shut up.

                                                   HERO MAN

                                         I can’t wait to tell the—

HERO LASS enters, singing.

                                                   HERO LASS

      “…Gotta get down to the Bus Stop. Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends—”

                                                   HERO MAN

                                 You gotta be fucking kidding me.

                                                   HERO LASS

                                                        What?

                                                   HERO MAN

                                                 Et tu, Sistray?

                                                   HERO LASS

                                               I love this song!

                                                     BUG BOY

                                                       Right?

                                                   HERO MAN

                              Well you’re the only two people who-

SAMURAI SNAKE enters. Yup, singing. In his fashion.

                                               SAMURAI SNAKE

“Kickin’ in the front seat, sittin’ in the back seat. Gotta make my mind up, which seat—”

                                                   HERO MAN

              NO! Absolutely not! I refuse! You all should be killed with fire!

Hero Man leaves in a huff. There’s a beat, then:

                                               SAMURAI SNAKE

                                               One, two, three…

                               HERO LASS/BUG BOY/SAMURAI SNAKE

“It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Friday, Friday gettin’ down on Friday, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend…”

Hero Man, compelled by the music edges back on, singing.

                                                          ALL

              Partyin’ partyin’ YEAH! Partyin’ partyin’ YEAH! Fun, fun, fun, fun—

Sounds indicate The Kid is coming. They scramble.

                                                   HERO LASS

                                               Aaand… Action!

They freeze. Beat.

                                                   HERO MAN

                                               (low and soulful)

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday. Today it is Friday, Friday. We, we, we so excited.   We so excited…
