GARY KILDALL: OVERCAST SUMMER





Gary Kildall: Bill Gates killed all my dreams.
dad: wanna talk about it?
Gary: i didn't cause the global power outage out of revenge. Bob Newhart was a computer techie.
Bob Newhart: don't call me a nerd, asshat. 
God: hi Bob.
Gary: wanna eat at this lobster place over here?
dad: nah, i had an orange lobster as a pet when i was a kid. 

Simple Minds: we'll never be a hair band...

Bill Murray: The Shining reboot with me in the Jack role. i'll be less menacing than Jack, more jokey.
Shelley Duvall: only if it's Winona Ryder.
Sofia Coppola: no, Scarlett Johansson, this will be the Lost in Translation sequel...

Clint Eastwood playing Pebble Beach links golf: i don't know how many kids i have, leave me alone. i had a kid in high school instead of doing math, Americans are bad at math.
Bill Murray: that was me, hi dad.
Clint: why didn't i stay with Dina Ruiz? she was normal.
Dina Ruiz: and a local celebrity. our wedding was a big to-do.........only on the KSBW channel. to think all i ever wanted to be was a newscaster...
Clint: i dropped that anchor. and then you dropped me.
Dina: you made me an alcoholic, Clint.
Clint: people think i'm the same as Charlton Heston, but i'd have to play Moses as an atheist...
Clint: i couldn't join AA...

Gary: the day of the big meeting came. Bill Gates and IBM flew down to Pacific Grove.
Bill Gates: to see you in your skateboard garage.
Gary: it was a cart barn. you stole my idea to make computers CUTE!!!
Bill Gates: no i didn't, that was Steve Jobs, HE did the Macintosh 128K later. i gathered the IBM fellas in a Druid circle all around the TinoType telephone. i asked you, Gary, are you ready for your McKinsey interview now?...
Bill Gates: hey fellas, the phone is typing something from Gary: je suis fatigue
Gary: i'm always tired.
Bill: why weren't you at that fateful meeting?
Gary: you told me you left your keys at your Seattle mansion and to take your private-jet seaplane to pick them up...
Bill: by the way i've since lost the keys to that plane...

Gary: i was so depressed after that i turned to uppers. 
dad: yeah but that was just computer culture in the '80s.
Gary: Bill Gates had stolen my identity. HE was my digital doppelganger. people in Omni Magazine interviews kept asking me why i wasn't Bill Gates. i told them because i don't wear glasses.

Gary: i turned to dangerous books and movies. i read John Steinbeck's East of Eden and watched The Wild One. before long i thought i was Marlon Brando in a motorcycle jacket who was angry at what the world GOT. i went to a biker bar in Monterey and had a pleasant time.
River Phoenix: yeah, luckily i was there to break your fall when you tripped on the gold counter cowboy-boot railing.
Gary: thanks for the save, River. River, weird name. 
dad: so a bar gang didn't attack you?
Gary: oh they did. they had coiled vipers on the back of their black jackets. but River was there.
River: i fended those leather-clad hooligans off with a giant cucumber i used as my sword. they got aroused and left. 
River: and then i tripped on the railing and Gary broke my fall before i had a massive concussion. 
dad: the difference between concussion and contusion is massive. i was a doctor's son.
River: thanks, friend Gary. it was a good thing you were there, Johnny Depp was nowhere to be found.
Johnny Depp: i work a lot. i'm always working. i'm never around.

Hormel Angus Chili: it only tastes good with no beans.

Gareth Southgate: where do i go from here?
Bill Gates: enter my gate from the south end.

Maria Shriver: i'm not Kuato. that's Mars not Mrs. Schwarzenegger.

Trent Reznor: everyone wants to be a musical genius. everyone wants to be Bjork in their bedroom. "The Only Time" is the perfect promposal song.

The Twilight Zone "The Trunk".
Bud Cort: do these glasses make me look inscrutable? why are these The Warriors rejects bothering me? once you've had Shelley Duvall, these women are a dime a dozen. why couldn't i ask the trunk to make the girl like me? for me, not my things. it's the hallway from the Silverchair "Emotion Sickness" music video. in the end, i get young Maude. back when Maude had a pleasant voice and a nice butt. it would have been better if i had remained locked in the trunk forever, since when does The Twilight Zone have happy endings?...
Shelley Duvall; were you ever someone's muse like me?
Bud Cort: not like you, i was a paid muse.

Jen R at the biker bar: drink your Clamato juice in a shot from a shot glass in the morning, get it over with...

that man in the One-A-Day commercial touches the cap of that multivitamin bottle so TENDERLY.

Sting: windmills of your mind. 
Willie Nelson wearing Don Quixote armor and smiling: you were always on my mind, you were a windmill in my addled mind. the only thing that healed my brain was pot. Snoop Dogg is taking me to Medieval Times.

Jen: i changed the sheets in our camper. they're light airy Three's Company '70s paisley sheets.
me: these sheets are SO LIGHT there are no sheets.
Jen: that's the power of silk, baby. 

at the beach.
seagull: hey!!! pick up your green pill in the sand. we don't want to be picking that shit up with our beaks.
Jack Tripper: sorry. it helps me stay at work.

Royal Troon: the herding wind will kill you.

Porky Pig: that Deal-A-Meal catalog looked like a package of bacon.

CVS: Vanquish.........has vanquished off the shelves.
me: that doesn't make up for the lack of magic white pills in my life. i do a Breaking Bad every time i enter the Walmart website.

Bob Newhart: this time, it IS a dream...

Purple Crayon: oh Harold, you need to do your exercises, you're turning into a chubby kid.
Harold: Invisible Chair...

Gary: when you first crack open that fucking 45-ouncer of Country Crock butter.
Jen: that's the tub i want to soak in, not my jacuzzi.
Gary: that convex alien ship in the middle of the butter...

me: THIS is the power of wax paper!!! it kept the microwave clean from a tomato bomb!!! it cooked the Puttanesca olive all the way through!!!
Jen: next time try cheesecloth.

dentist holding a water-flosser: what good are healthy gums if you're alone?

Kevin Blackistone: i didn't get into sports journalism for the sports, i did it to get access to the weightroom. i did it for my health. the author of the Arthur Aardvark books leads The Open. I'm a professor.........of sports. the worldwide power outage is gonna affect the Olympics.

Steve Jobs: tech sucks, i'm a priest.

me: happy weekend, my babies.
dad: what's on the menu, son? i'm bringing a hungry guest.
