STREAM Season 1 Episode 2: Business Name

 

EVAN, SCOTT, HECTOR, and AMANDA meet in HECTOR’s apartment. It is a small studio condo in Los Angeles.


AMANDA

Hector, you said this place is big.


HECTOR

It is.


EVAN

Is it?


HECTOR

Bigger than anything else I’ve lived in here. I’m not made of cash you know. 


SCOTT

Already, let’s figure out our streaming service. You guys are lucky I have experience with—


AMANDA

Keep it short and sweet.


SCOTT rolls his eyes.


SCOTT

Technology. I can get this thing up and running.


EVAN

Hector if you don’t mind offering us all drinks, I’m pretty thirsty from the walk up the stairs.


HECTOR

Drinks. Right. All I got is hard liquor. 


EVAN

That’s fine, whatever you got. 


HECTOR

That was a joke. Milk okay?


EVAN

Is it spoiled?


HECTOR

Does milk ever spoil? Drink up!


AMANDA 

So anyways if we’re gonna make a streaming service, we need to find our place in the market. What can we offer that nobody else is offering?


SCOTT

We could actually air another season of a show after we announce we’ve renewed it. Some of these streamers are like the girls from all my first dates. They say there’s gonna be a second and then all of a sudden it’s like the first one never happened.


EVAN

That’s lame, I miss the days where a third date meant a fourth. 


HECTOR

Yeah and then after the fourth they’d just live rent-free in my head.


AMANDA

Guys, focus! This isn’t about girls or failed dates, this is about or streaming service. Right?


SCOTT

Right. So…let’s be real, it’s gonna start as a pretty barebones operation. 


EVAN

Hold on a second. Do any of you happen to be related to billionaires?


Everyone shakes their head ‘No.’


EVAN

Ok, does anybody know any billionaires?


Everyone shakes their head ‘No’ again.


AMANDA

Wait do you mean personally or does it count if you saw them in concert?


EVAN

Personally, obviously.


AMANDA

Still no.


EVAN

Well in that case I agree with Scott.


SCOTT

Best we can do is start slowly and build our way up from there. 


AMANDA

So we need programming to succeed, but we have no money for programming. Great.


HECTOR

Do we really need money for programming? There’s gotta be shows that aren’t on any streaming services now. We could just get the rights to those and stream those shows. 


EVAN

I was gonna say we spend $3 billion on original programming and hope to reach net zero losses by 2050 or whatever but I guess that’s as good an idea as any. 


AMANDA

Let’s look up some shows we could steam. Excuse me, STREAM.


SCOTT

Amanda, I think you just came up with the name of our streaming service: STREAM. 


EVAN

There are worse names already being used. I like it. 


HECTOR

Bland, just like our beginnings.


EVAN

You know what, I really gotta go, I’m feeling the effects of that milk. 


EVAN runs out of the apartment. 


HECTOR

Poor guy. Wonder what got to him.


SCOTT

He just said it was the milk.


AMANDA

Yeah I’m leaving before I get too thirsty for expired milk.


HECTOR

Good idea. Meet here again for the next meeting?


AMANDA

Nope, we’re going to my place. See you there!
