Virtual Moonlighting,
Season 10
Episode 2 --
Promo
The camera
zooms through a glass door into a small room where a man, looking frazzled,
weary and sporting a weeks worth of stubble, feeds film through several
machines. They click and clatter until he pushes a button for them to stop. He
picks up a large pair of scissors.
Bert appears at the door, knocks loudly and
bursts in, a look of horror across his face.
Bert: Don’t do it, Fred. Don’t do it!
Fred: Got to…VMBC’s orders.
Bert: VMBC?
Fred: Virtual
Moonlighting Broadcasting Company. They want to fill that time with a clip from
“Wonder Years.”
Bert: What? That show
with the pouty kid and whiney girl?
Fred: That’s what they
say.
Snip.
Bert is flabbergasted!
Bert: Give me that!
He snatches the film and attempts to gather
it all into his arms. Fred helps with the very end. He shrugs at Bert.
Bert: This is
preposterous, Fred! Agnes and I don’t get a whole lot of face time around here!
You’d think that just maybe, just maybe, for once they’d cut Simpson o-or O’
Neill o-o-or that weasel Magillicuddy.
Storming out, he grabs a film projector,
muttering to himself…
Bert: I don’t know why
we had to reshoot the scene anyway. The original was Academy Award worthy if
you ask me… We’ll just see about this!
He runs into Agnes.
Agnes: Herbert, did
you get it?
Bert: Yeah…yeah I got it
and you know what, Agnes? I’m going back to Blue Moon right now and show this
to all of the people who so richly deserve it!
Moments later the film projector can be
heard…
Little baby Mickey sleeps soundly on top of
Herbert Viola’s chest. His curly black hair matches Bert’s exactly, only less
of it.
Agnes can be seen peering into a large black
case, occasionally scribbling on a pad of paper.
Bert stirs slightly, which makes Agnes stop
writing and close the case. When he settles again, she opens the case, picks up
her pen and continues to write…
Who likes lollipops, gum and candy?
Something else he likes to eat
It’s his most favorite treat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He used to eat honey and crackers
But something happened to make him whackers
A swarm of
fourteen stinging bees
Made him switch to broccoli and cheese
You know she is smarter than most breeds
Because she dives into books and reads
A good friend is said to have taught her
And she likes to read with a pool of water
Agnes looks at her writing
intently, shrugs, and then tears the sheet of paper off the pad. This wakes
Mickey and he begins to cry. Herbert wakes up, disheveled and confused.
Her eyes grow big and she stuffs the piece of
paper into the large case and closes it quickly…
The tape flutters to an end.
Bert isn’t too happy.
Agnes: (laughing)
Talk about a sleeper…
What’s Ms. DiPesto up
to?
