[MARK]
December 24th, Nine PM
Eastern Standard Time
From here on in
I shoot without a script
See if anything comes of it
Instead of my old shit
First shot -- Roger
Tuning the Fender guitar
He hasn't played in a year
[ROGER]
This won't tune
[MARK]
So we hear
He's just coming back
From half a year of withdrawal
[ROGER]
Are you talking to me?
[MARK]
Not at all
Are you ready? Hold that focus -- steady
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger ...
[ROGER]
I'm writing one great song --
[MARK]
The phone rings.
[ROGER]
Saved!
[MARK]
We screen
Zoom in on the answering machine!
