Jane Fonda in Klute: right? it questions the existence of these characters. are the people in THIS movie real or are the people in THAT movie real?
Shelley Long: i don't have a watch, i have a Swatch...

Madame Pons: no but this bathtub scene is QUITE fetching. very sexy. i'm gonna do this to win Takahashi back, instead of water fill the bathtub with soft fake furs, get naked in clothes, makes the fucking lend itself to LESS CHAFING.
Mardith: no LUSH soaps? 
Madame Pons: nope, i own a Swatch...
Super Mario: it's IMPOSSIBLE to fuck underwater...

at Judge Harold T. Stone's office.
Judge Harry Stone: you're lucky this is an election year. we need Andrew Cuomo to become President or all of Trump's New York cases go POOF. like magic. we'll get you off with a warning, prostitution is about getting off anyway.
Michael: let's make a messy situation messier.
Roger Federer: DAMN, you can really cause a lot of BRAIN DAMAGE with a fucking tennis racquet. tennis is RIFE with concussions...

Henry: get naked.
Shelley: if you SQUINT hard enough you see the three of us by a crane during the end-credits. we all stayed by that crane for 24 hours before Ron Howard said cut.

me: there is NOTHING more beautiful than being a first-time father up at 4AM placing a baby bottle of formula in a small saucepot of boiling water on the stove.........waiting for those first tiny bubbles to form...

* Marcus is a connoisseur of junk. from your first frat loungechair to that Ross from Friends GIANT ice-cream-cone pillow to those mushroom lamps that are in the shape of a mushroom, not used to toke LSD. and those big plastic boxes that are supposed to look like glass that house his Garbage Pail Kids cards. and his hockey cards. do they make hockey cards? why? yes we all went to Bard College...

* Lily from AT&T: you won't recover from heroin addiction unless it's done in a gazebo. my gold necklace says DUST not AT&T. like my cut-off goth boots?

NIGHT OF THE COMET: SAVAGE WRITING


 












Jen R and i are at the car show.
me: but why?
Jen R: i know, right? we both hate cars.
me: Takahashi gave us the reco. he said there'd be some lookers, some once-in-a-blue-mooning cars here.
Jen: i love showing my open butt on the open road. okay that Batmobile over there is pretty cool.

we both get into the vehicle.
me: you're driver's side, i will NEVER be driver's side.
Jen: any beverages before i start driving? posset for me cuz it sounds like opossum which no one can spell.
me: syllabub for me cuz it sounds like syllabus.........i'm finally confronting my college demons of having one more year left i didn't finish.
Jen: if you don't finish you can't keep a girl.........in bed.

Jen at the wheel: anyway i'm not available. i have a fam. are you feeling better about this? have you calmed down?
me: i know. it was a large pipe dream anyway. i blew my last manifest brownleaf into the sky this morning, no more me praying Jen R is my wife.
Jen: keep the prayer, just turn it into a warlock spell.
me: can i still be your work husband?
Jen: we need a publisher.
me: i am TERRIBLE at money matters, the financial side of art. i went to Berkeley for English not Business.
down Santa Monica Blvd and onto the PCH Freeway, our car transforms like a Transformer from a Daimler limousine into a 1939 Alfa Romeo Spider into a Fiat Spider and finally into a gnarly Transformer metal spider.
Optimus Prime: deja vu? lay off the day-old oil, get yourselves sober, you weak humans. Megatron is my brother...

Bruce Lee: i'm feeling lovelorn.
Lindy Lenz: better than feeling lovesick.
Bruce: i put on pads and skated down Lombard Street.
Lindy: in MY Thrasher sweater. yeah i saw you on YouTube. no helmet?
Bruce: i was on rollerblades not a skateboard.
Lindy: oh okay. all skateboards have Warped wood from the record label Warp so they're magic, you won't fall off. you know i really thought a Mr. Rogers trolley car was gonna smash into you when you got down the base of the hill at the intersection.
Bruce: instead i ended up trying a new flavor of Rice-A-Roni: lemon. take me back?
Lindy: not until Jackson and his Computerband's song "Vista" becomes OUR song...

Tai and Luke Russert are at Lawry's The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills.
Lawry's: the prime rib here is salty...
Luke Russert: take me back.
Tai: no. but i do have a cold Jack in the Box taco in a paper sleeve sprinkled with a Salt Bae pinch of Lawry's Seasoned Salt. 
Luke: i will take that offer. i will make that deal.
Tai: and i get the HOT tiny tacos in the box cylinder in the Jack in the Box brown bag with space facts on them. 
Neil deGrasse Tyson: i like that, Jack in the Box space FACTS as opposed to space TRIVIA...

Boc: are tiny rattlesnakes the size of a dime slithering around in the dirt of my ear supposed to be circular? immediately as i come to the Red Yellow Brick Road clearing of the Barnyard hilly sloping downward path next to the Swiss fondue bistro, i fart. rain is the BEST, it washes out the world's caked-in grime. stubborn cling. i go back up that Red Yellow Brick Road to that sad sax, saxophone spelling my doom. and i see an all-happy couple with their dog, that really gets my goat. maybe i should get a pet goat...

Weird Science Magazine: will get soiled like a girlie mag soon, pages stuck together like glue.

Jason Kelce: that Travis Kelce thing he does forming his gloved hands in the shape of a heart...
Kelce mom: form of a heart...
Jason: that sign back up to Taylor Swift in the penthouse box is so WHOLEHEARTEDLY LAME that i hope the Ravens take care of business on Sunday.
Travis Kelce: hey bro, i didn't want to say anything, but our mom is kinda creepy, right?
Jason: yeah. and Taylor likes her, which makes me suspicious of Taylor...

Amazing Stories "The Doll"
John Lithgow: this has a Somewhere in Time quality to it. it's set in the '70s but my CAR is from the 1870s. it's not creepiness, it's loneliness. oh well, at least loneliness isn't a problem anymore in the 21st century...
Ms. Dickinson: for a schoolteacher i sure do have a large house.
John Lithgow: me, too. the episode never says what i do for a living, i guess it's implying we're both lonely people cuz we have no time for anything else but work. i'm a hitman btw...

razor clams: NOT for chowder.
Leslie Sbrocco: i will not address you unless you say you're Pazific...

Call of Duty League: we have mansions bigger than Milton Berle. we're millionaires. we can't build a house, we can't pick up a hammer and nail like Jimmy Carter, we play video games...

Rob: thank. a Rob rub. it's the Anderson, gives me a distinguished Ted Danson look.
Rob Corddry: why am i the only one without a Wikipedia entry?...

India: are you my boyfriend now?
Rob Huebel: for one episode.
Melissa Rauch: i'm gonna end up with Wyatt, right? i'm one step ahead of you, writers...

Boc: it's always spooky when the breezy jazz music plays over the abandoned loudspeakers at The Barnyard at 7:30AM and no one's there. then again it'd be eerier if there was NO MUSIC. flickering toadstool lamp by my foot. is that a brownleaf or shell-less snail? is that a berry or a cherry Skittle?...

Barnesy: Rangeley, Maine, the last autumn hometown, the only spot the St. Elmo's Fire reboot can take place now...
Stephen King: halcyon until...

Eye Luggage: Night of the Comet and go.
Laertus: the writing here is SAVAGE, it's CYNICAL, i love it!!! why do people care SO MUCH about these B horror films? they go GAGA CRAZY over this stuff, they study every line of dialogue and every costume change. they OBSESS in a way they'd never over Forest Gump.
Dirg: the people in B movies are REAL PEOPLE.
Eye: these people are more relatable somehow, they're your next-door neighbors, they're ordinary folk put through extraordinary circumstances. usually in zombie form.
Thom Eberhardt: um, excuse me, the word "zombie" is never used in my film...

Robert Beltran: CHAKOTAY!!! it's me, Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager!!! you didn't recognize me without my face markings, huh. i didn't want to be a cholo in this but it doesn't matter, i eventually become the coolest Native American in fucking outer space!!! the Indian in your life who recommends this film to you will be the most spirit-cave warmest wonderful friend of your existence.

Sharon Farrell: why do all stepmoms have to be BITCHES?

Reggie: so, we fuck in this steel-lined projectionist booth. steel, that's gonna be important later on. it's a whole Wolverine thing going on, i'm also a woman who PORES over comic books. this is a TRUE GIFT i'm giving you here.
Larry: yes. i get it i mean i understand it. you're hot and young and you wear those badass jeans, i understand...

Charles Rocket doing the SNL Countdown on TV...
