“RANDOM FRAGMENTS FROM RUSH SONGS BBQ SAUCE”

OK, even I think this is weird. I don’t think this was ever performed. I could ramble a bit about the Monty Python influence and the absurdist technique I was trying to develop, but I think I’ll just let it stand on its own.

- – - – - -

An outdoor BBQ- everyone is standing around, listlessly eating dry, tasteless burgers.

A SPOKESMAN appears.

SPOKESMAN
Is your BBQ a flop, because your
burger are dry and tasteless?

The HOST hangs his head guiltily.

SPOKESMAN
Then try some of this!

Hands him a bottle.

HOST
“Fragments from rush lyrics and
song titles” BBQ sauce?

He puts it on the burgers, all GUESTS try one and- it’s
delicious!

GUEST #1
All this machinery making modern
music can still be open hearted,
not so fully charted its really
just a question of your honesty!

GUEST #2
Yeah- your honesty!

GUEST #3
Part one: Bytor battles the snow
dog!

KID (#3′S SON)
Part three; At the Tobes of Hades!

Dad pats son on the head and rumples his hair.

GOOFY TYPICAL DRUNK FRIEND
La Villa Strangiato!

Everyone laughs at his silly antics, then he passes out.

HUSBAND
Philosophers and plowmen, each must
know his part!

WIFE
(sexily)
To sew a new mentality, closer to
the heart.

They put their arms around each other and snuggle. The drunk
picks his head up.

GOOFY TYPICAL DRUNK FRIEND
Six minute bass solo.

He passes out again and everyone laughs.

SPOKESMAN
“Fragments from rush lyrics and
song titles” BBQ sauce: “if you
choose not to decide, you still
have made a choice!”

Hi.

My name is Ryan. I'm a writer and filmmaker. This is my blog. Right now, I'm mostly writing Entourage:2039. Before that it was old coemdy sketches.

This is meant to be a professional blog, so there won't be any ramblings about how my day is going. If you want that (and why would you, really?), you can find me on Twitter. There will be sketch and film scripts, video clips, fiction, and sometimes travel writing and photography. I am interested in a lot of things, but writing and directing feature films is my long-term focus. I'm currently seeking representation (agent and/or manager), both as a writer and a director.

I'm also looking for people to collaborate with on a variety of things. If it seems like we'd be on the same page in some way, let me know. I don't want to get too specific; this isn't a Craigslist ad.

Email me at 20thstreetfilms[at]gmail.com if you have any questions or comments.
