Life On Camera: Web-comic Pilot

What happens when a 16 year old witch kills the star of a Japanese reality television show, and then receives her own reality show? From a guy who watched The Office, 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory, and watched pretty much every nerd show on television. And the same guy who was aware of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hannah Montana, and reality television shows, comes a new web series where pretty much anything can happen in this insane international comedy.

This is the script for the pilot episode of Life On Camera. I'm currently planning for the first season to contain six episodes and will be online in March. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW, if at all possible. I would be highly appriciate it and will provide GP accordingly based on how effective the review is. I'm very interested in what people think about the script, particuarally whether or not it is funny, as well as constructive criticism and if anyone has any suggestions I am more then happy to hear them.

Please be advised that there is some mild language present in the script as well as mild suggestive themes as well.

TRANSCRIPT: Pilot Episode
==========================

Scene: Television

Announcer: Arganus The Champion! He had tangled with the world’s greatest demons, monsters and people who may or not have been mistaken as monsters! His reputation is known throughout the world, as a hero, a ladies’ man, and just being plain awesome. These network executives took notice and with the help of this cameraman, you can witness Arganus fight the world’s most dangerous entities on live television! It’s the Arganus the Champion show! Only on JBC!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Pan Out To Office Room:

Network Executive 1: This could quite possibly be the best show ever.

Network Executive 2: I agree, this show is the best thing our network has ever done.

Network Executive 3: We just got the first viewer eyeball rating data. Up 4000% from last year’s timeslot!

Network Executive 1: And not to mention Arganus appeal is national! I mean the kids love him; we have the ability to sell horrible, cheaply made action figures to children.

Nagano: Sir, the network president just called, he wants to congratulate us on a great job.

Takeda: This is it gentlemen. For years, our network has been looking for its next big hit. Yes, we have gotten by on shows like Everyone Loves Toshiro, Three and One Half Japanese Men, and of course the network staple, Insert Generic Pun Based On A Popular American Show Here, but those shows are all in the past. Our network has been last in the ratings for nearly three years.

Nagano: Technically, fourth out of the five major networks.

Network Executive 1: Yes, but the JCW hasn’t been relevant in nearly since the merger.

Network Executive 2: And aside from Japanese Superman, most of their shows are all for the female audience.

///////////Cutaway: Japanese Superman

Announcer: Last time on Japanese Superman

Japanese Lois Lane: Superman! There is meteor plummeting towards Tokyo! You have to save everyone!

Japanese Superman: Don’t worry Lois! I’ll use my super powers to save the day!

(several pics of superman determining mathematical ways to destroy the meteor. Eventually, flicks a small rock at the meteor to send it hurling into the sun.)

Japanese Lois: You did it, Superman! You saved the world!

Japanese Superman: All in a day’s work for Japanese Superman!

///End of Cutaway///

Network Executive 3: That shows been going downhill since season three.

Takeda: Ahem, gentlemen. Being fourth or fifth is no longer of consequence. Tonight, we begin our ascent to the top once more. Tonight our network gets back on top, and rides it hard! (lifts glass of wine) To tonight!

Network Executives: Tonight!

Announcer: Tonight, Arganus has traveled to the foreign land of America, in search of today’s monster. Rumor has it that a witch lives hidden in the mountains of Illinois. And you will get to see Arganus fight against this foul creature live!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Pan back into Television:
         Scenery: Mountain Range Exterior of Secret Lair

Arganus: Oh hello, didn’t notice you there. My name is Arganus, but you probably already have seen my handsome face before in magazines, or perhaps on the street corner, or maybe on one of these handsome action figures that you can find in stores tomorrow for 1360 yen. He’s a cute little guy isn’t he, with ten different action phrases.

Arganus doll: Put me in front of the mirror! I want to watch myself do sit-ups!

Pan back to the office

Takeda: He’s the perfect marketing pusher.

Pan back to television

Arganus: Today, you’ll get to see me kill a witch live on national television, with all of the blood soaked mayhem intact! Rumor’s have had it that she dwells in these parts, performing mad experiments on her victim’s such as making poodle wear human clothes. (Approaches a cave with a light on the inside) Wait! I feel the witch is nearby. Let’s start moving forward with extreme caution! At least that is what I would say, if I wasn’t Arganus! 


(Walks into Cave) Attention witch! I have come to destroy you! Surrender now and you will be killed far less painfully!

April: What the f---? Who the f--- are you?

Arganus: I am Arganus the Champion, bringing of your demise! Prepare to battle! Whispers: Now I’m going to attack a few times but make it look convincing when you realize that you cannot defeat me, you know play it up for the camera.

Chloe: (skeptical) Is he serious?

April: All right, creep. I’ll show you what happens when you enter my Cave of Solitude!

Battle Ensues, several images of Arganus being beaten to a bloody pulp.
Fades To Block Pattern

Announcer: Uh, we are experiencing some technical difficulties, so we will now air a repeat episode of, Insert Generic Pun Based On A Popular American Show Here.

Pan Back To Office:

Network Executives: S—t!

Nagano: Oh this is bad, this is really bad.

Network Executive 1: This is beyond bad! We lost our star! We already sold the air time for the next six weeks and we have no show to air! We have nothing!

Network Executive 1: Well maybe having him fight monsters on live television was not the smartest plan.

Network Executive 3. I did suggest doing the whole show like the Truman Show.

Nagano: Oh, I love that movie.

Network Executive 3: Yeah, it was a great film.

Network Executive 1: Well, where were you during the conception phase?!

Network Executive 2: You know, I hate to be a buzzkill but we are now literally stuck with thousands of these Arganus action figures that were supposed to be released in stores tomorrow!

Toy Araganus: Look at my pecs! They’re awesome!

Network Executive 2: We can’t sell them now! It would be financially irresponsible!

Takeda: People, please! The situation may appear grim. And though it may appear we are totally screwed, and will most likely be fired, particularly Nagano over there, we must remember that there is always a solution to any problem.

Nagano: But what sir?

Takeda: The answer is right in front of us.

///Back at the cave

Rich: So the whole point of his show was to fight like monsters and evil creatures and stuff, and show it live on television.

Chloe: That’s really, really stupid.

April: Yeah very stupid.

Rich: Yeah, believe me I did mention it, but he was all like ‘It will work out. After all I am awesome.’  And well clearly it didn’t work.

April: And why not do it like the Truman show?

Chloe: Oh, I loved that movie.

Rich: Yeah it was a great film.

Takeda through headset: Rich, are you alright?

Rich: Well, I’m a little hungry, and I scraped my knee. It’s bleeding a little bit.

Takeda: Yeah, that’s great. Say, do me a favor and pass the headset over to the black haired girl.

Rich: My boss says he wants to talk to you.

April: To me? (takes headset) Okay, I don’t know about Japan but here we have something called imminent domain law, and warrior boy came at me with the intent to kill.

Chloe: I don’t think that’s what it is.

April: Shut up Chloe.

Takeda: Young lady, I did not wish to press any kind of charges on you

April: Really?

Takeda: Of course not, rather I would like to present you with the opportunity of a life time.

April: I’m listening.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Rich: Sweet! So are we going to fly on like a broomstick to Japan or are we just going to teleport there?

Pan out to airport:

April: No I have to take the airport like everyone else.

Rich: Uh, okay. That’s cool too. I do enjoy those little bags of peanuts that they serve on the flight. I mean I know you can just by peanuts on the store, but it’s not the same.

April: You know, I am fine just spending the next sixteen hours in silence.

Rich: Right, of course.

Time Passes. The two are now on the plane.

Rich: (whistles a little tune, hits the call button)

Stewardess: What can I do for you sir?

Rich: Oh, I will just take a few of those little bags of peanuts.

Stewardess: Oh, we don’t do those anymore since the airline filed for bankruptcy.

Rich: You’re kidding right? I flew on this airline last week!

Stewardess: I do apologize about that. Would you like to purchase rental headphones for the in-flight movie at a higher cost then in stores?

Rich: What’s the in-flight movie?

Stewardess: Oh, we have the finest in films based on Japanese properties. For starters, there is the Street Fighter Movie, then Dragonball Evolution, and last but not least, the Blood movie.

Rich: I think I will take a pass. (Stewardess walks away) (Sighs) Peanuts…(Sighs) Peanuts…(Sighs) Peanuts…

April: If you get your peanuts, will you stop doing that?

Rich: Most likely. (peanuts appear) Whoa! Peanuts! I love you.

April: Keep it in your pants nut.

Rich: What else can you do with your powers? Could you change the in-flight movies to something actually good? Create Floods? Bring peace to the Middle East? Open up these freaking peanuts?

April: Yes, yes, I’m not a miracle worker, and here (opens the peanuts)

Rich: Oh I see, there’s a little thing to open it. That makes so much more sense now.

April: (staers out the window) Oh, to be Japanese Superman.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Scene: streets of Tokyo
Rich: Ah, Japan. The land of the giant robots.

April: That’s not what it called.

Rich: Well, since I’m the one who is from Japan, let’s just take my word for it.

April: You’re kidding right. You’re no more Japanese then I am!

Rich: Oh yeah? (turns to random stranger) (INSERT COMPLETE GIBBERISH Japanese Here)

Business Man: Why would you say that about my mother?! (runs off crying)

April: Yeah, you know the language so well…

Rich: Well, you don’t really need to know Japanese in Tokyo. You can get by with English.

April: You’re walking towards a dead end.

Rich: Well, where one road ends another begins.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Scene: Outside JBC

April: That’s the studio?

Rich: Yep, JBC. The Japanese Broadcasting Channel.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Scene: Inside Takeda’s Office

Nagano: Sir, if this gamble doesn’t pay off we are all going to be fired.

Takeda: Don’t you think I know that? Relax, the network executives love the idea. All we need (door opens) is her. April, right? Welcome, I am Mr. Takeda, head of programming here at JBC.

April: Yeah, yeah nice to meet you, so why exactly did you call me out here?

Takeda: Well, certain mistakes were made with the launching of our last show Arganus the Conqueror. (flashback to the fight). Lives were lost; mistakes were made. But we aren’t here to point fingers. We are here to move forward. I want to offer you your own show; a reality show where we follow you around 24/7, capturing your every movement on camera.

April: You’re kidding right.

Takeda: No, actually I was quite serious.

April: Why would you think that I would want people into the privacy that is my life?

Takeda: This is the amount of money that you will make per episode. (hands piece of paper to April)

April: I think I can live without the privacy.

Nagano: Actually sir, I just wrote down the amount it pays in yen. I didn’t know the conversion rate.

April: What’s the conversion rate?

Takeda: Not important.

Rich: Well the conversion rate is….

Takeda: Just trust me when I say, it is a lot of money.

April: Okay, well I still have a few concerns that I want to address.

Takeda: Of course.

April: Will this show cover all aspects of my life?

Takeda: That is the general plan.

April: The thing is…my friends and family doesn’t know anything about my powers.

Takeda: Could prove to be a problem. Youtube is the source of all evil.

Nagano: Well, we could edit the footage to make it look like some else.

Takeda: Brilliant! We will use the Korean animation sweatshop, I mean studio, to insert moe characters into the footage.

April: That could work. But um, I should warn you that some of my friends at school, they might not be appropriate on Japanese…or really any country’s television.

Takeda: Well as we learned from most of American television, any bizarre personality can be considered genius on television.

April: Actually, that’s not too far off.

Takeda: So, do we have a deal.

April: Yes I do believe we do.

Takeda: Perfect! We will begin shooting a pilot episode immediately. Now, we will need someone to go back to the states and film it. Rich, any objections?

Rich: Uh, actually sir, I really can’t return to the States for a prolonged period…

Takeda: Here is your starting salary.

Rich: I already know that’s not a lot of money.
Takeda: That one is actually in US dollars.

Rich: So, when do we start?

/////////////////Cutaway: April Interview

Rich: So why don’t you start off by telling me a little more about yourself? Who is April? What makes her tick?

April: We’ll let’s see. My name is April Rayborn. I’m sixteen years old and a sophomore at Raven High school. Uh, my hobbies include comics, videogames, anime…

Rich: Wait hold up.

April: What?

Rich: I know that this show will air in Japan where nerds are king, but you really don’t have to try to appeal to the audience like that. I mean really the fact that you have breasts would really be enough to interest them.

April: Of course, right. After all, there are no female nerds. I should spend my time watching teen dramas, and effeminate borderline homosexual males in their boy-bands.

Rich: I didn’t say there was anything wrong about it. I just think it would be in bad taste to whore yourself for an idiot demographic.

April: Trust me, if I ever do that.  You have permission to shoot me in the back of the head.

/////////////////////End of cutaway

Scene: Walking down the streets

April: So what about you? What’s your deal? How did you end up as a cameraman working for a Japanese Television Studio?

Rich: Well I went to Japan working on the movie Kill Bill, but I decided to stay after the movie was done, mostly to get away from my crazy girlfriend. So, I faked my death got a job with JBC, and haven’t come back to the states sense.

April: You went through all that trouble to just get out of a relationship?

Rich: Well I knew she was crazy when I started the relationship, but she was attractive enough… and the sex was fantastic.

April: I really didn’t need to know that.

Rich: So, I’m kind of apprehensive about being back, because I need to stay out of that unhealthy relationship.

April: I see. (opens the door to her house) I’m home.

Mr. Rayborn: Oh, welcome home April. How was your weekend?

April: Pretty good.

Mrs. Rayborn: You and Chloe stay out of trouble?

April: Yes, mom.

Mr. Rayborn: Uh, April? Who is this weird guy who is recording us?

Rich: Oh, hi. I’m Rich the cameraman.

April: Yeah, I won a contest and now I’m getting my very own Japanese reality show.

Mrs. Rayborn: Oh April! I wish you would have told us about that this! I’m hardly TV ready.

Mr. Rayborn: Yeah, perhaps we should talk about whether or not we actually want our family on television every week.

April: This is how much money I get per episode.

Rich: In yen.

Mrs. Rayborn: What’s the conversion rate?

April: Not important. But it is a lot of money. I am 95% percent sure.

Mr. Rayborn: Well, we will give it some thought. Still, you should hurry and get ready for school.

April: Alright. (to Rich) They will totally say yes.

Rich: Using magic on your parents?

April: You know it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Scene: April’s Room

Rich: (Upon seeing April’s room) Woah!

April: What? I said I was an otaku.

Rich: Yeah, but this is pretty hardcore. It’s awesome.

(A knock comes from the window)

Rich: Uh, this room is on the top floor right?

April: Oh, that’s okay. It’s just Marcus. You can come in Marcus.

Marcus: Hey, April! (climbs in through the window and accidently trips coming in)
////////////// Cutaway: April Interview

April: Marcus has been one of my best friends for several years. He is interested in the same kind of things that I’m into, and he’s a sweet guy.

Rich: Aw, sounds like you got a little crush. So does the evil witch have a soft side?

April: If you ever talk like that again, I will destroy you.

Rich: Fair enough.

April: We’re just friends. That’s all.

////////////// End Cutaway

////////////// Cutaway: Marcus Interview

Marcus: My name is Marcus, I’m an avid comic book collector, and an Xbox player. April and I are best friends. I think it’s safe to say that we know everything about each other.

Rich: Right, of course you do.

////////////// End Cutaway

Marcus: So, (picking himself up) are you ready for the stupid pep assembly today?

April: Oh god damn it! Not another one of those things! I completely forgot about it!

Marcus: Relax April, Todd’s got a plan. Just bring your DS to the assembly.

April: Uh… I kind of lost mine…

////////////// Cutaway: April Interview

April: Last year, we experienced three different school assemblies. The first one was so freaking awful we all wanted to pull our teeth out. And not with pliers; we are talking about full-on ripping them out with our hands. We actually had to stop Paul, he was bleeding a lot. Then for the next one, we brought our Nintendo DS’s and the teachers wouldn’t let us play them! So then I decided to use a spell to turn the DS invisible, that way it was like, ‘I’m just twiddling my fingers not doing anything’. It was only after doing it that I realized that I couldn’t see the screen, because it was invisible and really I haven’t been able to find it since.

////////////// End Cutaway

Marcus:  That’s okay; I think I got a spare at home. I’ll just go home and grab it. Meet you at school! (heads out the window and leaves)

April:  Alright, I’ll meet you there.

(Chloe emerges from April’s closet)

Chloe: Thought he’d never leave.

Rich: Why are you in her closet?

April: Oh, it connects to my very own fortress of solitude. You know that cave where we met?

////////////// Cutaway: Chloe Interview

Chloe: I’m Chloe, um, I’m not a witch but I do work with April on filing things like which potions and spells work, which don’t. It’s the little things like that. Let’s see… I’m a straight A student and I used to be a member of the Raven High Cheerleading squad, but through a series of events, and intensive psychological therapy, I no longer am.

////////////// End Cutaway


Chloe: So what’s the deal? What was with that network guy want to talk to you about? And what is he still doing here? (signals to Rich)

April: We’ll as it turns out he wanted to give me my very own reality show.

Chloe: Huh. So you kill the main actor of his show, and then you get your own show. Still, it is not the worst thing that anyone has had to do to get their own show.

////////////// Cutaway: Briefly show the CNN balloon boy clip

Chloe: Isn’t that kind of bad though, I mean what if someone watching this show figures out that you’re a witch. Like some sort of witch hunter of something.

April: You worry too much Chloe. This show is an opportunity for us to acquire funds to acquire any ingredient for any spell we could ever need.

Chloe: I don’t know…

April: We could finally afford to make that gum that doesn’t lose its flavor after five seconds.

Chloe: I would like that.

Rich: Couldn’t you just chew Stride?

April: Aren’t you supposed to be quiet when filming?

Rich: Nah, I get to make all the snide comments I want. It’s in my contract.

April: I will give you a contract!

Chloe: Oh! I remembered to bring this for the assembly today. (holds up a potion vial) It’s that one that makes everything feel all warm and fuzzy.

April: Didn’t that one cause the neural processing center of the brain to shut down for a period of time?

Chloe: Yes, but it will be long enough for the assembly.

April: We’ll apparently Todd’s got an idea to get us through the assembly. We may not need it, so bring your DS just in case.

Chloe: What the hell does he have planned?
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Scene: Lockers at school

Todd: (has taken apart his DS and put the screen attached to his face and the control pad and buttons in each hand) Behold! This is the way they will be playing games in the future!

April: What the hell is that?

Todd: Well, I was about twelve hours deep into a Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon this weekend, when it occurred to me that the answer to dealing with playing in class is very simple. You see, Geordi La Forge uses a visor to see, so I take the same principle. Apply the DS screen to my face, and hold the controls in my hand so that I can play, and no one will notice that I am doing so.

////////////// Cutaway: Todd Interview

Todd: Name’s Todd. I don’t like to brag but I am easily the smartest and the best looking of the group. Yeah. All the ladies want some of this. They are just trying to suppress their raging hormones.

////////////// End Cutaway

April: You are an idiot Todd.

Todd: We’ll it may seem that way to you, but this is how videogames will be played in the future.

April: How to plan to make the bottom screen work?

Todd: (in deep thought for a few seconds) I didn’t say it was perfect.

Marcus: Well, the important thing is you tried.

Chloe: Yeah, but now we are stuck sitting through this god awful thing.

April: Well, it’s too late to do anything now. I’ll meet you guys in there I have to go to the bathroom.

Chloe: Yeah, me too.

Scene: In front of the bathroom

April: Okay, so you got the potion?

Chloe: You know it. (Both girls quickly drink from the potion)

Scene: At the school assembly

Teacher: Todd, take that ridiculous contraption off your face!

Todd: But I need it to see! I’m blind without it!

Teacher: Take it off.

Marcus: I told you it wouldn’t work.

Todd: I get the feeling I was born about five hundred years before my time.

Marcus: Yeah, I kind of wish you were born hundreds of years in the future too. (April and Chloe take their seats next to the others) Hey girls, took you long enough.

April: (tripped out) Yeah, that’s okay. Everything is okay.

Chloe: (tripped out as well) Yes, everything is just so wonderful.

Time passes, Todd and Marcus fall asleep, April and Chloe blissfully watch the assembly.

School Announcer: And now with a few words about school spirit, the principal of Raven High School, Mr. Hughes!

(Hughes goes to the podium)

Hughes: School spirit; It is either something that you possess or something that you will never ever obtain. Unfortunately, when we passed out that anonymous survey regarding your opinion to the school and most of the school chose the option ‘Burn the place to the ground’…

Rich: That was an option?

Hughes: …we decided it would be best to try to create fake school spirit. We will facilitate this by offering a prize for first place for decorating the school. Each group that signs up can pick their own theme and design whatever they want in it. First Prize will be one hundred dollars, which we will be taking from the music department budget.

Music Student: That’s bull-sh--!

Hughes: So who is willing to sign up?

April: (Still really tripped out raises her hand) I’ll do it! It will be wonderful. Everything is wonderful.

Hughes: Okay, well I’ve got everyone marked down. You have till Friday to complete the hallway so groups get to it. Assembly adjourned!

April: (returning to normal) Oh, it’s over! Chloe file that under experiments that work well.

Chloe: Can do. It really so well, I don’t remember a thing.

Rich: (snickering)

April: And what is so damn funny?

Rich: That you signed up yourself and the sleeping beauties over there for some gay hallway decorating contest.

April: Say what?

Chloe: Okay, removing that experiment from the good list…

April: It’s not a problem. We will just quit the competition.

Hughes: I’m afraid you can’t back out now. If you do then it violates the point of school spirit and school pride…blah blah blah.

////////////// Cutaway: Hughes Interview

Hughes: I have been working as the principal here for thirty years, I am about five years away from retiring to an island somewhere, and I checked out about ten years ago. I honestly can say I haven’t learned any of the staff or student’s names in the school, that’s how bad it’s gotten. I’ve seen too many of them come in and out to really care. Of course that kid who eats gum off the water faucets has been here longer then about anyone, but he’s kind of really creepy. The worst part is the school district won’t let us smoke in the school anymore. Nazis, every one of them.

////////////// End Cutaway

Hughes: So if you back out now, you’ll all enjoy detention. (walks away)

Chloe: Well, it’s not too bad of an assignment, and we get to make it anyway that we want.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Scene: Hallway that is half made into a landscape for Star Wars

Chloe: Okay, this actually is a pain in this ass.

Todd: What the hell were you thinking April? My god, I don’t do physical labor. It’s says so right on my MySpace page.

Jeff: It also says I need to turn to fit through most doorways.

Paul: Nice one dude.

Jeff: Thanks dude.

////////////// Cutaway: Jeff Interview

Jeff: The name is Jeff. Perhaps you might be familiar with one of the many Wikipedia entries I have written. Just search for Jeff Adlerstein and you get to every entry I’ve done. Todd and I don’t really get along; he thinks he is amazing and I’m kind of a smartass. Our relationship was destined for failure.

////////////// End Cutaway

////////////// Cutaway: Paul Interview

Paul: My name is Paul. Uh… I’m really well liked by my teachers who have asked me to stay in the 10th grade for like the last three years. My interests would be various types of gum…

Rich: Anything else?

Paul: No that’s about it.

Rich: Okay….

////////////// End Cutaway

Chloe: Todd, Jeff, and Paul just shut up, sit down, and let’s just get to work. We’ve only got two days to work on this.

Marcus: Maybe we should just give up, I mean this is a lot of work to do, and there is really no chance we have of winning.

April: Come on guys. If we all pull together and put a decent amount of work into this, I know we can make something truly great.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Scene: The Hallway the day of the assembly looks like crap.

April: Or it could be a train wreck in space.

Chloe: Maybe a spell would work.

April: Magic won’t fix this. Is R2-D2 cattle prodding Chewbaccca?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s what it seems like.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Scene: The pep assembly

School Announcer: Okay, I have the winner in this sealed envelope, but first I want to hear you’re school spirit. If you love Raven high let me hear it.

Students: We love Raven high!

Other students: Burn it down!

Hughes: Damn it, I need a smoke. (lights a cigarette which sets off all the school’s sprinklers and causes the school to evacuate and in the process gets the envelope all wet and illegible.)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Scene: The pep assembly

School Announcer: Well as it turns out the names of the winners were destroyed so we have to give it to the hallway that survived the most water damage, and we give the award to April Rayborn and her group for some sci-fi show.

Chloe: So without acting like a team and without putting a significant amount of effort into it, we still won.

April: Yeah, that sounds about right.

Chloe: I kind of get the feeling we may be sending the wrong message to our viewers.

Jeff: Who cares? We got money lets go blow it on something stupid and trivial.

April: I think we can all agree on that.

Scene: Back in Takeda’s office

Nagano: Sir, Rich just sent us the footage he compiled.

Takeda: Perfect. We can begin the animation procedure immediately.

Nagano: Yes sir, I will send the footage to the Korean animation sweat shop immediately.

Takeda: The network executives will be pleased to know that the show is on track.

Nagano: But sir, isn’t it possible that someone could decipher where the witch is and could shut our operation down.

Takeda: Relax your balls Nagano. This is the perfect operation. No one will ever know where she is, or who is. All they will know is the story of a bunch of teenagers trying to get through the day.
