Liz and the cast are prepping for their filming of The Girly Show. Jenna is doing vocal warm ups.
Liz flails her clipboard in the air, "has anybody seen Tracy"?
"Last time i saw saw him he was teaching some street kids how to play poker", Jenna says as she approaches Liz. "And he promised me not tell anyone if he could set me up with one of them, i think his name was Pedro, or Sanchez."
"What the What"? Liz's phone rings. "Hello Liz speaking".
"L.L, what up?" "Tracy, where are you?, we start shooting in 15 minutes"!
"I can't come in today".
"What?", just teach those street kids poker next time, this is the series finale".
"No i told Pedro and the rest of the hombres that gambling and card games is not a good habit to get into.........It could lead to paper cuts."
"Well, why can't you come in then"?
Tracy sneaks up behind Liz and taps her on the head with a pen. "April fools, hahahahahaha".
The TGS crew all burst out into laughter pointing and taunting Liz.
"Tracy, thats not funny."
"On the contrary, Liz. You see I led you to believe that i wasn't coming into work today. When in fact I did. I even slept here, in preparation for this little April fools prank."
"Well, i think it's stupid. Just because it's the first of the month of April doesn't give anybody the right to behave stupidly."
"I didn't even know it was April, oh boy, better do my taxes from the last 4 years.".
Tracy pulls out a calcualtor and sits on the floor and begins typing away. Jack enters the room holding glass of scotch.
"Ah bravo Tracy. If it's one thing i've learned from watching middle America with a pair of binoculars from my Upper Manhatten Apartment. It's that there is no holiday too small to celebrate. Sure April fools, easter and Martin Luther King Jr's birthday is only accredited on the calenders of grad students and shoppers of Walmart, but doesn't mean we shouldn't bask in it."
"Do you really watch people from your house"?
"Lemon, my point is, have a little fun. Kick your shoes off. Before you know it, we're dead."
"Did you just find out you have a terminal disease".
"No, Avery is making me take yoga classes. It's dreadful. Do i look like i can put my legs behind my head in these Armani slacks and blazer"?
"Wait, you wear your suit to yoga"?
"I used to do yoga" Jenna interrupts. "But that was a time when a man and a woman could express their love in front of a class of 25 people. Of course Manuello decides one day that he's too good for me, when along came a new student. Damn that Katherine, flexible bitch."
Liz frowns and turns to Jenna. "What kind of classes do you get yourself involved in?"
"Uh let me just interrupt there, Pete walks in with a pile of papers. "Liz, bad news."
"What is it now Pete?"
Pete hands her papers. "We're being sued by a man in Oklahoma claiming that Tracy Jordan is impersonating him in every appearance he does television and Film"
Tracy stands up and places his hands on his hips. "That is Bull excrament. I have never----oh yeah that must be Tyler Burgess."
"Tracccyyy. Explain. This is serious and could be a big lawsuit".
To Be Continued.....
Hi elias,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see your work here. I've been waiting it for my whole life. eh? :))) I will leave a beautiful comment after I read it. Cheers!!!
Just updated it. Tell me what ya think.
ReplyDeleteHi Elias,
ReplyDeleteI like how you have formulated your fic with dialogue as it is fun to read and easy to follow each characters. Is Tracy usually likes making fun of his colleagues? I have kind of researched?? about ‘30 Rock’ to gain a brief understanding what it is about because I haven't heard about it before. Yes, Im not a big fan of TV -_- Anyway, I think he is cheeky and funny, but is serious when it comes to his profession. One thing, there are as many characters as about seven to eight are present at the scene, it is a little bit out of focus for me. However, I like the end part of the fic which is being sued by the man in Oklahoma as it is a dramatic point. I wonder who Tyler Burgess is, and why Tracy thinks that the plaintiff will be him. Good job Elias :) Don't miss out reviewing on my fic & 10 links :D
As a relatively huge fan of 30rock myself, I got really into this fanfic. I can totally envision all of the exchanges between the characters, and you've really captured how they speak and communicate. Also, you were right in laying it out the way you did. Because there's a lot of dialogue, having this spacing makes it easier to read. This is some really good work, awesome job ma brother.
ReplyDeleteThat was really awesome Elias. Found it so funny. It was quick and easy to read despite being only dialogue, you laid it out well.
ReplyDeleteHi Elias.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting work, even though you haven't finished your work here.
I also read the plot in wikipedia to get the gist of it, but I found it difficult to follow some of the characters as intheworld said.
There are a couple of errors, but I guess you just mistyped. So, never mind!
The April fools joke worked really well. Good work!
Funny story to read, can't wait for next story of her life:) It was good to read with dialogs, felt I could imagine the whole scene~ :)
