MOM 2 Weren’t you worried about nipple confusion? LISA Excuse me... MOM 1 No. He went right from my breast to a sippy cup. LISA That happened to me once. Can I get by? They still don’t hear her. MOM 2 What about silicone nipple shields? ‘Lisa has no choice but to back up a few steps and take a running jump over the children and into the bagel place. The moms are appalled. MOM 1 If you had kids, you would not be laughing! INT. H&H BAGELS, NEW YORK - MOMENTS LATER Lisa waits in a long line leading to two registers. A GUY on a cell phone enters.

Pull back through the picture window to where KENNETH a bright and chirpy (Clay Aiken type) NBC page is giving a tour. He stands next to a life-size standee of impish comedian Jenna DeCarlo.

WRITERS' ROOM - A FEW MINUTES LATER At a large conference table, TOOFER, 25, an African- American Harvard guy writer and FRANK, 27, a heavyset writer with long Top hair and glasses, read the papers. In the corner, SARIE, a gorgeous 22 year old assistant (of the spray-tanned platinum-haired Hilton variety) answers the phone. SARIE Friday Night Bits. Okay, hold on, I'll connect you. She somehow looks sexy transferring calls. Toofer and Frank stare at her. call. SARIE (CONT'D) Friday Night Bits. Our fax numbex? Sarie kneels backwards on her chair to look at the fax machine, a lower back tattoo is revealed. - Toofer gives Frank $5 (clearly, they had a bet.) Lisa enters, finishing her story to Pete. LISA And I was like, “Give me all the bagels, dammit!” PETE (takes bagel) Wow. That is the longest stroy I‘ve ever had to listen to to get a free bagel. Pete continues down the hall. Toofer complains to Lisa immediately.

TOOFER Chumley, you have got to talk to someone upstairs about getting us a stock of beverages. LISA Good morning. TOOFER I mean, surely our massive conglomerate parent company could spring for a samovar of coffee. FRANK Or, like, a big coffee dispenser. TOOFER That's what a samovar is. FRANK Sorry, I wasn’t raised gay. JOSH, 23, enters. He is an adorable young comedian/cast member on “The Jenna DeCarlo Show.” JOSH Hey, who does this sound like? Josh does a flawless imitation of President Bush. JOSH (CONT’D) "My fellow Americans, the situation in Irag grows more tense each day.

LISA (CONT'D)

FRANK A hamburger. LISA That's not... FRANK What? 1It's the same price. LISA Fine. INT. HALLWAY - LATER Pete gently reprimanding Kenneth the page. PETE --and you probably don't need to introduce the writers to the tour group. KENNETH I agree. I thought they would find it interesting, but they really did not. I took them downstairs and showed them Debra Norville's private toilet-- INT. OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF DEBRA NORVILLE'S PRIVATE TOILET. Kenneth addresses a large tour group outside her bathroom. KENNETH ...to be used by no one but her. Loud embarrassing toilet sounds emanate from within. KENNETH (CONT'D) Oops! CUT BACK TO: INT. HALLWAY PETE Yeah, it's been my experience, Kenneth, that people do best with as little information as possible. (MORE) CUT TO:

But Lisa has stopped to tell them her bagel story. LISA And I was, like, “Screw you! I’'m buying all the bagels!” The boys are not impressed or interested. FRANK That's great.

He’s the nicest man in the world. Remember when he found that baby bird in the park? CUT TO:

12. INT. GARY'S OFFICE - THE PAST C.U. of Gary Luderman, 50, a square-looking corporate guy in a suit. He is intently feeding a baby bird with an eye dropper. GARY LUDERMAN Hey, fella. Hey, fella.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE - DAY The whole place is under noisy renovation. Workmen everywhere. Pete and Lisa step in to see JACK DONAGHY, 45, handsome and impeccably dressed, kicks his way into the room through a partially ripped out wall. LISA Where's Gary? JACK Gary's dead. I'm Jack Donaghy. New VP of development for NBC/GE/Universal/Vivendi/Kmart. PETE We own Kmart now? JACK No, we don't. So why are you dressed like we do? Pete and Lisa lock at their overly casual work clothes.

INT. WRITER'S ROOM. - SAME TIME Josh, Toofer and Frank are working. Sarie answers the phone. SARIE Friday Night Bits. (beat) This is Sarie. {(exasperated) Mommy, why are you calling me? JOSH (to Toofer) Are you guys just staring at the new receptionist or are you actually trying to levitate her with your minds? TOOFER Shhh, I have to hear this. They eavesdrop on Sarie. SARIE Of course I showed up for work. You don't have to, like, check on me all the time. (quietly) I took the helicopter. FRANK (to Josh) Her parents are some rich famous big shots and they got her this job because they want her to learn the value of work. Sarie takes out her gum, folds it in a dollar bill and throws it out. JOSH Who are her parents? FRANK She won't say. TOOFER She says it would affect the way we treat her. JOSH No, I would still txry to make out with her. 13.

14. FRANK She doesn’t do it for me. My perfect woman is a standard size 12, still in her waitress uniform, with her kid asleep in the next room. The other two nod in reluctant agreement. That is kind of hot. INT. HALLWAY - SAME TIME Kenneth is giving another tour. KENNETH Rockefeller Center was built in the 1930’s by--anyone? TOURIST The Rockefellers? Kenneth throws the guy a piece of candy. KENNETH Correct. Studio 8E was constructed in 1951 for a show called “The Vicks Vap-o- Rub Fun Hour.” In the 1970’'s it was used for a talk show by a gentleman named Phil Donahoo. And now it’s home to the Jenna DeCarlo-- Kenneth sees JENNA DECARLO come off the elevator. He tries to assess her mood. She takes off her sunglasses and looks at Kenneth. She has a crazy wide-eyed expression that means, "Don't bother me." But her face is so animated and friendly that Kenneth can't "read" it. Kenneth smiles at Jenna. Jenna smiles/grimaces back. There is a back and forth moment of panic between Kenneth and Jenna as they try to interpret each others' expressions. Then, one of the tour group recognizes her-- TOURIST 6 Hey, that's Jenna DeCarlo! OTHERS Ooh, Jenna DeCarlo! Jenna! Etc.

15. Flashbulbs. looks hung-over and disheveled. The exact opposite of her picture on the standee behind her. She can't help but blurt out her thoughts to the crowd. JENNA Hi, let me explain that I'm really hung over right now and that's why I loock like this. But I'm not normally hung over on a Wednesday. I tried a new tapas restaurant in my neighborhood last night and the waiter recognized me so he kept giving me free mojitos-- which doesn't happen all the time, I'm not like, some gross famous person-- but he kept bringing them and I don't usually drink hard liquor cause I'm really small and I can get drunk so easily-- (she starts to giggle with embarrassment) I mean, I don't get drunk frequently. She grabs the arm of a tourist for emphasis. JENNA (CONT'D) I'm just saying that if I look a little green there are extemuating circumstances. Jenna exits around a corner. Beat. KENNETH How about that? Jenna DeCarlo, every-- Jenna comes back around. JENNA But I don't want people to think I'm not friendly. I'm just nauseous and I have stomach issues-- The group nods politely. JENNA (CONT'D) Okay. She starts to exit. JENNA (CONT'D) Forget I said "stomach issues." Okay. Bye.

16. INT. JACK'S OFFICE - A FEW MINUTES LATER Pete and Lisa sit gingerly on the edge of the couch. Workmen work behind them. Jack sits at his desk which has a lot of exposed wires hanging over it. Nearby we see the legs of a workman on a ladder. PETE I'm surprigsed you're renovating. This is such a nice office. JACK It’s a great office. But sometimes you have to change things that are perfectly good just to make them your own. Pete and Lisa lock a little worried. Jack's nerdy MALE ASSISTANT appears and hands Jack a note written on a post-it. JACK (CONT'D) I'1ll call her back. Is she at the White House number? Assistant nods. He hands him another post-it. JACK (CONT'D) Tell them I need a 4 a.m. tee time. He hands him another post-it. JACK (CONT'D) About five inches, but it's thick. Pete and Lisa look at each other. As he exits, the assistant gets a little shock to the head from a dangling wire and flinches slightly. Jack turns his attention to Pete and Lisa. JACK (CONT'D) Are you familiar with the award-winning GE Tri-vection oven? LISA I don't cook very much.

17. JACK Sure. I got you. New York third wave feminist. College-educated. Single and pretending to be happy about it. Over- scheduled, under-sexed. You buy any magazine that says "healthy body image" on the cover, but your kitchen's got nothing but Snackwells and expired yogurts. You reject traditional female roles, but every two years you take up knitting for a week. PETE (impressed) That's dead on. LISA Are you gonna guess my weight now? JACK You don‘t want me to do that. PETE That knitting thing is just uncanny. How do you do that? JACK Market research, my friend. Years and years of market research... that lead to my greatest triumph, the Tri-vection oven. PETE My wife wants one of those. The assistant reappears. Another post-it to read. JACK (to the assistant) Yes, but I'll need my kevlar vest. (back to Pete and Lisa with a smile) The Trivection oven cooks perfect food five times faster than a conventional oven, because it uses three kinds of heat: thermal technology, for consistent temperature; GE Precise Air™ convection technology, for optimal air circulation; and microwave technology, for unbelievable speed. With three kinds of heat, you can cook a turkey in 22 minutes.

18. PETE Wow. That’s impressive. JACK The people upstairs agree. That's why they promoted me. That’s why I'm here to re-tool your show. LISA Re-tool what now? JACK I'm the new Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming. LISA That sounds like you program microwave ovens. JACK (to his asst.) See, I told you that was imprecise. Make it "Vice President of East Coast Television Programming and Microwave Oven- LISA Czar? JACK I like you. You have the boldness of a much younger woman. Lisa is offended. Some sparks literally fly, from the construction behind her. PETE You know, Jack, Lisa and I have worked together on a bunch of shows over the last ten years, and I know Gary was very pleased-- JACK Pete, T've seen the show. The little gal’s good. LISA Jenna. JACK And the skits are decent, but you're missing that third kind of heat.

19. LISA There's the kind of heat that rises from dog poop. Maybe we could use that. JACK Think about Lawrence Jordan. PETE The black guy? JACK The black movie star. I flew with him recently on a private jet to the Super - Bowl, and he was very entertaining. LISA Isn't he, um... crazy? JACK Lawrence has had his problems in the last few years. CUT TO: EXT. CALIFORNIA FREEWAY - DAY African-American comedy star LAWRENCE JORDAN, 35, runs down through traffic in nothing but tighty whities. LAWRENCE I am a jedi! I am a jedi! CUT BACK TO: INT. JACK'S OFFICE. JACK But it's important to remember that he wag never charged with any crime. not illegal to fall asleep on your neighbor's roof. PETE Nor should it be. JACK Lawrence Jordan is the "third heat." PETE 8o would he join the cast...?

¢ N 1 X M JACK Join the cast, permanent guest host-- I'm going to meet with him this afternoon and see what he thinks-- Lisa clears a place to lay down on the coffee table. JACK (CONT'D) What are you doing? LISA Sometimes when I have these stress dreams, if I go to sleep in the dream, I come out of it. The Assistant scribbles then hands her a post-it. LISA (CONT'D) (reads) "This is not a dream." JACK Jonathan, take Pete and help him pick out a Trivection oven for his wife. PETE (pleased) Hey. LISA Wait. Lisa takes out her list. LISA (CONT’D) We also want a coffee machine, a snack basket JACK Done. Jonathan? The assistant takes her list of demands. After he and Pete exit... JACK (CONT’D} Lisa, I‘ve heard a lot of good things about you. LISA Well, a lot of that stuff I don’t do anymore. 20.

21. JACK I just want you to know that your job is secure. You’'re gonna be essential to transforming the show. LISA No, no, no, Jack. is my friend and we like our show the way it is. It may not get the highest ratings, but we have our own little following, and I'm not going to let you come in here and turn it into some kind of-- JACK Hit? LISA Just let me talk to her before you make any concrete-- The wall behind her comes tumbling down. A chunk of drywall hits her on the head. LISA (CONT'D) Mother-effer-! She falls down. ACT TWO INT. A HAIR SALON SET A sketch from the show. Josh wears a fake moustache. Jenna is performing a crazy character with a goofy voice. JOSH Yes, I have an appointment with Louise. JENNA Glouise isn’‘t here. I‘m Bevexrgly. Recognition applause. This is a recurring character. JENNA (CONT’D) And I'1ll be your substitute hair styglist! Laughter. PULL BACK TO REVEAL:

22. INT. WRITER’S ROOM - AFTERNOON Toofer and Frank are watching a tape of this sketch. TOOFER We should do one where “Bevergly” is a “grape” counselor. Toofer hands him a frothy cappuccino in a glass mug. Across the room, Josh is going through a large snack basket. JOSH Just tell me who your parents are. SARIE No. You couldn't handle it. JOSH Okay, I'm gonna try to guess who they are from locking at your face. He studies her. JOSH (CONT'D)} Blond hair, little nose, kind of Swedish... Your mom is... Cheryl Tiegs and your dad is... {checks out her body) Stephen Hawking. Sarie punches him in the arm. JOSH (CONT'D) What? Cause you're smart! INT. HALLWAY - A LITTLE LATER Pete is talking to Kenneth again. PETE ..and Jenna DeCarlo was very upset. KENNETH I tried to read her face, but it’s so rubbery!

INT. HALL. 23. PETE How bout this? As a rule, if you see a celebrity when you’re with the tour group, do not bother them. KENNETH Is that a guideline, or a rule? Cause I respond well to structure. PETE Let’s say it’s a rule. - SAME TIME Lisa gets off the elevator holding an ice pack to her head. She runs smack into Jemna. Lisa acts weird and awkward. LISA Hey. JENNA Hey. What happened to your head? LISA The sky is falling. Do you have a minute? JENNA No. I have a costume fitting for the “Judgemental sketch. LISA Abhh. 1I‘ll find you after. JENNA You seem upset. You seem upset. JENNA I‘m hung over. LISA (seemingly reminiscing) Remember, like, five years ago when you were still waitressing and I was temping at that law firm and we used to do improv shows for free at night?

24. JENNA Yeah. LISA Did we hate it? JENNA Yeah. We hated it a lot. That’s what I thought. INT. WRITER’S ROOM - CONTINUOUS Lisa enters to find everyone excitedly enjoying the new high-end coffee machine, snack basket, cable tv, etc. Toofer hands her a cappuccino. TOOFER Well done, w’lady! FRANK How’d you get everything so fast? LISA What can I say? I‘m a hardass. She ducks into Pete’s office. INT. PETE'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS He is finishing up a phone call. PETE Well, my condolences. Please let me know where we can send flowers. Okay. He hangs up. PETE (CONT‘D) Ugh, poor Gary. LISA How did he die? PETE Killed by a deer. LISA What?

25. PETE He used to feed the deer every morning at his house upstate. And then he got an injunction from the township saying he had to stop. So he did. Two days later, he goes out to get his paper, and the deer go mad. Pete makes an accompanying hand gesture like deexr paws clawing at someone. LISA They just went mad? she mimics the same gesture. Pete nods and does it again. PETE . He stopped feeding them and they turned on him. LISA What are we gonna do? We quit, right? Do we quit? PETE Not me. My twins need braces. LISsA The older twins or the identicals? PETE All four. They've got mouths like piranhas. He'hands her a picture from his desk. LISA Ew. They do. PETE But sometimes with a thing like this, if you wait it out, it goes away on its own. LISA (still looking at the picture) No, you gotta get the braces. PETE Jack Donaghy, I'm talking about. So he meets with crazy Lawrence Jordan today. (MORE)

26. PETE (CONT'D) Jordan'll ask for too much money or he'll show up wearing a child's swimsuit and a shower cap and Donaghy will change his mind. Nobody needs to know this ever came up. Josh enters. JOSH Oh, hey, awesome. Just the people I was looking for. I'm working on this bit about celebrities doing commercials, like- (imitates Christopher Walken perfectly) "This is Christopher Walken for Tropicana orange juice. Try the juice. 1It's very... tangy" Or, um-- (imitates Lawrence Jordan perfectly) "Yo, this is Lawrence Jordan, star of 'Black Cop/White. Cop! and when I want a good night's sleep, I sleep on my neighbor's roof. But now that I'm making a comeback, I sleep at the Best Western. Best Western. It's like sleeping on Ted Danson's roof.

KENNETH Now, if y'all look over here, you'll see a water fountaini Lawrence stops behind the group and waits for Kenneth to acknowledge him. Kenneth starts to sweat. KENNETH (CONT'D} Does anyone have any questions about it? Lawrence gives his posse a look like, "What the hell? Why isn't this guy acknowledging me?" LAWRENCE Yes, I have a question. (big smile) How do you feel, NBC Tour? Cause you like a portay! KENNETH (timidly) Lawrence Jordan, everybody. The group applauds excitedly to see Lawrence. Lawrence goes over and works the crowd.

LAWRENCE JORDAN Now at the time, me and Eddie were both talking to the same girl, ‘cept I didn’'t know she was a transexual... Everyone laughs. LISA (to herself) Will not one of you stand with me? Jack Donaghy walks over to her. LISA (CONT'D) Would you like me to review for you everything you’ve done wrong so far?
