I can’t stop thinking about Paul Scheer since I saw him doing an improv comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Hollywood. I had perma-grin the whole night …and now while I type this.
You should recognize him from the MTV sketch comedy series Human Giant and VH1’s Best Week Ever. On a love scale where 0 is water droplets on leaf photography and 10 is Leslie’s obsession for Jordan Knight from New Kids…he’s a solid 8 and climbing.
In order to meet him, I’m in the process of writing thought about starting a script starring Paul Scheer phase. I need not to day dream about the lack of money but wouldn’t it be convenient for a rich cha chi to blindly hand me millions of dollars to make a film?
I’m okay with sharing my nerdy day dream sequence if you are….
Flashback:
A girl takes out her computer to write her first script. “Movie movie movie, dialogue, dialogue, dialogue, genius, genius, fade out….Done!”
Present Day:
Quentin Tarantino and his assistant exit a random movie theater after viewing a film.
Quentin’s mouth drops and he turns to his assistant
“Uh, Who wrote that?!”
“Lauren Yach sir.”
His assistant holds out a tray containing a single can of fresca, a straw and his cell phone. Quentin sips out of the straw and dials his phone.
Meanwhile, back at my apartment I blow dry my hair for my date with Paul Scheer that evening. I see my phone flashing with *Private Caller*
“Hello”
“Lauren? Quentin Tarantino. I can barely hear you… I would like to offer you 10,000,000 for your next script.”
My hairdryer stops and his offer sounds good except I play hard ball with Quentin, “Jeezus, Only 10 mill? Pshhh, We will see…” and I hung up the phone.
He never called back. That wasn’t a smart idea. Paul cancelled the date. It’s hard to hold on to the things you love.
The End
Deep Sigh…ho humm. Sooo fortunately my day dreaming has taught me what NOT to do in that situation. Maybe i could be end up being Tarantino’s Assistant.
