MARK&#8217;S LIVING ROOM &#8211; DAY<\/p>\n<p>Mark is looking out the window wistfully, almost dream like as the camera moves toward him. He becomes a aware of someone in the room with him and looks to the camera. He treats the camera as a person, not surprised to see you there standing there, he starts talking.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">MARK<\/p>\n<p>I am a dreamer&#8230; It is true, I come up with crazy ideas all the time. People who know me know when to just nod affirmatively and pat me on the head, saying, &#8220;Why that&#8217;s a wonderful idea Mark, you should do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Most of my dreams are called affectionately (by me) my &#8220;million dollar ideas&#8221;. I truly have no idea how many of these that I have had. Whether it is selling Mexican corn-on-the-cob at the state fair -or- the &#8220;Fight the Power&#8221; mobile coffee shop -or- selling leather mugs with dragons embossed on them at the Ren. Fest. -or- rubber grommets for repairing shower curtains -or- biblical memory verses for the shower, I have had a million million dollar ideas that would really take off if I could just find the investors for them. We would all become rich&#8230; or at least thousandaires, with any one of these ground-breaking ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, sadly this is usually the point where the head patting comes in. It is my lot I suppose. It&#8217;s hard being an idea guy (dramatic pause and a sigh). People just are not visionary you see, they are far too comfortable in the critic&#8217;s chair.<\/p>\n<p>(Mark walks over to his desk in what was the dining area and grabs a manuscript off his desk) But you know what? The dream just cannot stop dreaming; (Mark taps the manuscript with the back of his free hand) I have yet another idea and this one will prove all the nay-sayers wrong once and for all!<\/p>\n<p>What is it this time, you ask? Well I cannot give away too many details, but let us just say that it is the beginnings of a screen play for a movie that will be the blockbuster of the year when it is released.<\/p>\n<p>Now do not think of messing up my &#8220;do&#8221; and wipe that patronizing look off your face because this is the real deal&#8230; you will see, when I accept my Ocsar for best screenplay while your sitting on the couch in your jammies munching popcorn saying, &#8221; I knew he could do it.&#8221;, then you will see.<\/p>\n<p>(In the Schwarzenegger voice) Here me now, believe me later!<\/p>\n<p>Mark smile&#8217;s as he sits down and open&#8217;s his manuscript, grabs a pen and start&#8217;s writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INT.
