Finally Growing Up Season 1 Episode 4: Live Stream


OPEN: CHRIS is on his computer in the living room. JULIAN and DREW walk in.

JULIAN
What are you doing?

CHRIS
Trying to start a live stream.

JULIAN
Of what?

CHRIS
This room.

JULIAN
I’m not gonna play any part in a live stream. 

CHRIS
You don’t have to.

DREW
I’m not either.

CHRIS
You don’t have to either.

JULIAN
You’re gonna do a live stream all by yourself?

CHRIS
Nope. I’m gonna set it up, leave the room, and stream for two hours.

DREW
What’s the point of that?

CHRIS
Hopefully, it goes viral.

JULIAN
That sounds like a terrible idea.

CHRIS
Do you have anything better?

JULIAN
No.

DREW
Has Uncle Rich slash Nate called yet?

CHRIS
If he did we wouldn’t be doing this.

JULIAN
And this live stream is supposed to make us money?

CHRIS
No, but it’ll get us discovered and we’ll be able to start up an online video channel and make a ton of money off ads. And then we’ll keep getting bigger from there until we’re all millionaires. 

DREW
We will?

JULIAN
Who are you kidding? We need a better plan than that.

CHRIS
Maybe it’s not the best plan but it’s something we have to try.

DREW
There’s absolutely no chance this will work.

JULIAN
Yeah, and what are we supposed to do in the mean time? Just stand silently somewhere else?

CHRIS
Yep.

DREW
And you actually think you can be silent for two hours?

CHRIS
Only one way to find out.

JULIAN
Fine, press play. I’m telling you though, this isn’t going to work.

DREW
Hold on.

CHRIS
What?

DREW
What does that say on the top left of the screen?

CHRIS
It says Live. I have to press it to start.

JULIAN
Looks like there’s something next to it.

CHRIS
7.2k

JULIAN
Shut this off you idiot. Over seven thousand people are watching right now!

CHRIS
Looks like the likes are coming in.

DREW
You had this on the whole time, didn’t you?

CHRIS
Apparently! But I swear I didn’t know.

JULIAN
OK, I’m gonna go on Tak Toe to distract myself from this mess. Call me when Uncle whoever reaches out to us.

CUT to NATE, uncle of all three kids, sitting at home with his mom

NATE
Mom, should I call those kids and give them money or donate anything to them? Wait, I got it: I will. Not now though, maybe later.

CUT BACK to CHRIS, JULIAN, and DREW

JULIAN
Guys.

CHRIS
What?

JULIAN
Tak Toe has a new challenge going viral.

CHRIS
They always do, like that’s news.

JULIAN shows CHRIS his phone.

CHRIS
The Save on Car Insurance Challenge? Sounds like a desperate ad.

JULIAN
Not that one. The other one.

CHRIS
The Shut This Off You Idiot Challenge?

JULIAN
Uh huh.

CHRIS
Well that’s a start.
