So That's What He Looks Like

EXT. TATTERED YMCA – DAY
An establishing shot of a city YMCA.

INT. YMCA – DAY
An odd bunch audience sit in plastic folding chairs staring up at JED (22, lanky nerd) and CARL (46, stout, ruddy, bald) who wackily loosen their muscles, tongue and head.

CARL
Can somebody give us a place?

AUDIENCE
Improv class.

JED
And an object?

AUDIENCE
An audience.

CARL
Okay… and an occupation, if you please.

AUDIENCE
Improv comedian.

CARL and JED look at each other, eyebrows raised. CARL begins gesticulating wildly and pointing at the audience.

CARL
Oh my God, Jed, look at that!

JED
What? What?

CARL
Can’t you see them? We’ve broken the fourth wall!

JED
Is that the one that warps us to world 6?

CARL
No, you fool, reality and improv have collided!

CARL stares out at the crowd and looks befuddled. He then turns, and stares into the camera, and the rest of the audience follows suit, peering into a hole in space, right at me!

ALL
Who’s that?

CUT TO:
INT – NEIL’s DESK

NEIL
(shocked)
Umm, hello? This is new!
