Written By:

INT. BUNKER - DAY
SUPER: PREVIOUSLY ON WRITER’S BLOCK…
Jack and Noah return to the bunker.
JACK
We’re back home now!
NOAH
You’ve said it.
JACK
Say, about Mike’s series, about you and I, are we going to focus on a brand new show?
NOAH
First, we have to stop the series.
Noah then grabs his keys.
BACK TO PRESENT EPISODE.
Jack’s jaw drops.
NOAH (CONT’D)
You heard me. I have a plan to go to headquarters at Peafowl to convince the executives to stop the series.
JACK
Noah, that’s a terrible idea. The network likely has spent money on it.
Noah then leaves the bunker.
INT. CAR - DAY
Noah is driving without Jack in the car.
NOAH
Time to clear my name.
SUPER: FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER
The car makes a turn.
EXT. PEAFOWL HEADQUARTERS - DAY
The car then reaches Peafowl headquarters.
INT. CAR - DAY
Noah then takes a deep breath.
NOAH (CONT’D)
Let’s do this.
EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY
The car door opens.
Noah then gets out of the car.
EXT. PEAFOWL HEADQUARTERS ENTRANCE - DAY
Noah then enters the entrance.
He opens the door.
He then walks inside.
EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY
A shabby looking apartment sits in the middle of downtown Beverly Hills, California.
INT. MIKE’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY
Meanwhile, Mike and Jill are hanging out at Mike’s apartment.
Jill places a stack of what appears to be scripts on the living room coffee table.
Mike picks a script up.
MIKE
Halfway done with the initial order.
JILL
You said it. What an interesting turn of events.
Mike glances at the script.
He reads through it and nods.
Jill then takes a small glass of champagne.
She then makes a toast.
JILL
Here’s to making a successful sitcom.
Mike then nods at Jill after turning around towards her.
MIKE
I’ll drink to that.
The two of them laugh hysterically.
Out of nowhere, Jill leans towards Mike.
Mike then wraps his arms around her.
They soon erupt into a passionate kiss and sink into the couch.
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY
In the conference room of Peafowl headquarters, some executives discuss show developments.
Suddenly, Noah then shows up.
NOAH
Stop the series!
Dumbfounded, the network president stands up from his seat.
NETWORK PRESIDENT
What are you doing here?
NOAH
I’m the man that Mike has inspired for his series that showed up on your network.
EXECUTIVE #1
Impossible.
The other executives laugh.
The network president crosses his arms.
NETWORK PRESIDENT
Well, I hate to break it to you, but the series is still going on regardless.
NOAH
I’m suing!
NETWORK PRESIDENT
The character that you claim is based on you is actually more eccentric than you. You’re just the tough guy that’s afraid of the truth.
NOAH
Oh well...we’ll see about that.
Noah then walks away.
The other executives snicker.
EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY
People are walking in and out of the shabby apartment building in Beverly Hills.
INT. APARTMENT HALLWAY - DAY
Out of Mike’s apartment, random moaning erupts.
Will, minding his own business, overhears the commotion.
WILL
Okay now, why do I hear moaning coming from Mike’s apartment?
Mark then follows close behind. He gasps.
MARK
Don’t tell me Mike’s having sex right now.
Will's jaw drops. He then nods at Mark.
FADE OUT
