For you… (a deleted scene)

September 13, 2007 by me.

A few things are happening right now, but unfortunately I can’t talk about them until things are farther along. Meanwhile I thought I’d share with you part of a scene that (due to time, budget and location issues) was cut from our pilot. Enjoy!

The Waitress appears with a pen and pad of paper.

Waitress: May I take your order?

Richard: I’ll have the curry tonkatsu udon, please.

Aaron: Chicken lard nar. And don’t spare the chilies.

Hans: Pho. Number eight.

Julian: Gimme da Happy Fam’ly Tofu Combo, wit’ extra peanuts.

Leonard: Nothing for me.

Richard: You’re sure?

Leonard: Got an audition tomorrow so I’m watching my weight.

Richard: Come on. My treat.

Leonard: That’s okay –

Richard: Really, Leonard. I insist.

Leonard: Well, if you’re sure… (To Waitress) Okay, I’ll have the Dan Dan noodles with the extra spicy beef tendons, some vegetable mandoo — and a large 7-Up, no ice.

Waitress: Hai! (Yes, okay!)

Leonard: Well ‘Hi’ to you too!

She exits, giggling.

Richard: Leonard, that wasn’t what she –

Julian/Hans: Ungh, ungh, ungh, and another one bites the dust..!

Leonard: Can I help it if I’m cute?

Aaron: Cute?!? Puppies are cute. Babies are cute. But you… you’re the Lamborghini of sex appeal!

Leonard: I know. It’s a curse.

Aaron: (Chokes) A curse..?!? // Julian starts poking Leonard.

Hans: (To Julian) What are you doing?

Julian: Hopin’ sommat rubs off.

He tries catching the Waitress’ eye.

Julian: (To Hans) Nope.
