[Fan Script] Geoffrey the Dumbass: Ratatouille
INT. HEADGUM OFFICES
JAKE, AMIR and REILLY are sitting along the conference room table
JAKE: I lied at the bank and told them that the company wasn't dying so they lent me enough money to buy a bitcoin but I dropped it down the drain just as I got outside the crypto store
AMIR: That sucks
REILLY: I don't think that's how bitcoin works at all
GEOFF enters wearing a tall chef hat
GEOFF: You guys busy? There's a couple of things I wanted to tell you about
JAKE: You've got another pitch?
AMIR: Let me guess. "Chef hats... for all the Matts"
GEOFF: What? No. My dad had a barbeque this weekend so I got to talk to some of his friends. Turns out one of them sells audio thingies. I told him about HeadGum, he listened to some podcasts and got really into it. So, long story shor-
AMIR: Ah, don't you mean long story jort?
GEOFF looks at REILLY confused and mouths "what?"
GEOFF: Eh... no, long story short he sent me five pairs of studio headphones. We can use them ourselves, we can give them away, whatever. I left them downstairs, they're really cool.
JAKE: Wow, Geoff that's... that's amazing thanks a lot
GEOFF: No prob
JAKE and AMIR get up and starts walking towards the exit, GEOFF stops them
GEOFF: Wait! Before I forget
GEOFF takes a pen drive out his pocket and hands it to JAKE
JAKE: What's this?
GEOFF: I've been listening to the podcast since the beginning and cutting what are, from my point of view, the best moments. There's a clip from the first hundred episodes.
AMIR: Really? That's great.
JAKE: Yeah, we'll definitely give it a listen.
GEOFF offers them a brofist and the three of them say "that's awesome, dude" as they brofist. JAKE and AMIR leave, GEOFF sits at the table and starts working on his phone.
REILLY: Ok... What's going on?
GEOFF: With what?
REILLY: With you. Last week we were talking seriously about getting you some velcro shoes because we spent a solid two days trying to teach you to tie your shoes to no avail and know you're like... I don't know, employee of the month, just knocking it out of the park
GEOFF: Yeah, I'm knocking it out of the cat
REILLY looks at him puzzled
GEOFF: You know, dude
GEOFF points up to his hat
REILLY: I really don't
GEOFF looks around to confirm they're alone, gets closer to REILLY and lowers his voice.
GEOFF: I got Ratatouilled
REILLY: What?
GEOFF: Last Friday I was walking home from work and I noticed this industrious and well organized rat down an alley. I saw my opportunity and cheesed it. Little guy went up my head and under my hat but not without putting up a fight first. Couple of hours later I could already think clearer, work cleaner and speak cleaver. Now I feel way better, just tired and feverish all the time and my body is spamming constantly.
REILLY: Did the rat had foam in its mouth?
GEOFF: Foam sure he did
REILLY: Ok, leaving aside the fact that you believe you can identify a rat being "industrious and well organized" by sight, I think you have rabies. Did your dad really throw a barbeque?
GEOFF: Now that you mention it I think it was less a barbeque with my dad and his friends and more me grilling sausages with some homeless guys by a barrel fire
REILLY: I'm gonna take you to ER now
GEOF: Oui Oui
JAKE and AMIR are downstairs with a disappointed look on their faces. AMIR is holding up a couple of cups tied with a string. JAKE is plugging the pen drive into his laptop.
AMIR: So much for the "studio headphones", what's in there?
JAKE: It's the clip of Michael Richards saying the n word at the Laugh Factory
