Script Excerpt From YFIAS Episode 2 – “Miss Anthropy”

The script for Episode 2 of Your Face is a Saxophone is finished. In writing this episode, I wanted to improve upon a couple problems I’d noticed in the pilot:

  1. Leora wasn’t as well-developed a character as everyone else.
  2. It didn’t pass The Bechdel Test.

So, I decided the second episode would be a good time to bring in Janet, a recurring character glimpsed briefly at the end of the pilot (She’s the one in green). During the episode, she talks to Leora about things other than men. Problem solved. Oh, and she’s also a fairly interesting character in her own right. As is Leora, now that I’m giving her a chance to show herself.

Anyway, this episode’s gonna be about sexist advertising, and how it’s stupid and all that. And also how sexism is stupid. I know, real profound, right?

Hit the jump to read a scene from the script. If you were a paid Plankhead member, you’d already have been able to read the full, entire script, and for a limited time, you can get a LIFETIME PLANKHEAD MEMBERSHIP!!! with your donation of $5 or more at the Your Face is a Saxophone Donation Page. I just did a sales pitch. I feel dirty.

Okay, anyway. Script excerpt. Here it is:

    Brighter Black

    I decided to do a complete rewrite of Bright Black. The old one made Bright look like too much of a psychopath as opposed to a guy who’s just having fun.

    Also I got writer’s block trying to write the gunfight, which is where I stopped writing the original. Because of this, and becuase getting realistic prop guns in New York City is expensive when legal, I decided to replace the guns with shurikens and lightning. Well, okay, just shurikens. And katanas!!! It’ll all be very Snow Crash-y; Jarod Bright actually is kinda similar to Hiro Protagonist if I remember the novel correctly.

    When is Snow Crash going to get adapted into a movie or video game already? Actually, to be really meta-weird, someone could code a Snow Crash action/RPG in LSL and put it on Second Life. It would be like…Third Life.
