I write for Chuck, the actual show, so after the jump, I'm sharing the redacted version of the script. Fan fiction is my apology. No, not really. Anyway, I for one loved the episode, even if Sarah didn't do the flash face. It was a bit like old times. It was funny, spy-y and had a good dose of drama. Bu-ut, cannon stole one of my plots. Dammit. At least, when the time comes, mxpw will be able to vouch for me. In the meantime, I had one of my weird moments – remember chapter 11 of Chuck vs. The Fight? This is in the same vein. All tongue in cheek. So without further ado, after the jump, my Saturday morning drabble.
ACT 1
Scene 3
Scene 3
[Early afternoon. Casey’s apartment. Morgan, Casey, Chuck and Sarah are standing in the doorway between the living room and kitchen, drinking coffee. Producer’s note: Due to WB getting an early start on breaking down the set, Casey no longer has furniture. We apologize for the inconvenience. *Note to self: borrow mugs from Buy More break room*]
[Everyone sips.]
Morgan: Well, I love it. You know how I feel about bullets, which is to say – negatively. This is fantastic.
Casey: Where do I fit in? What am I? Chief Googler?
Sarah: Well actually you’ll be doing a lot of the same stuff you already do.
Chuck: Yeah. I mean we’re still gonna need fields ops to recover stolen systems and breaching companies’ security to find their weak spots…
Casey: [Grunts]
Morgan: Plus, wouldn’t it be lovely not to get shot at?
Chuck: Exactly. Aren’t you sick of being shot at?
Sarah: Or getting shot. I mean, you get shot a lot.
Casey: Not considering how much I get shot at.
Chuck: [Agreeably] Hmm
Sarah: [Agreeably] Hmm
[Everyone sips.]
Morgan: Okay, think about Alex. Do you know how happy she will be knowing you’re not out there doing scary stuff?
Casey: [Considers. Grunts] All right, I’ll think about it. But one thing’s for sure, if we go through with this, no more Buy More. We don’t need a cover. Let’s kick the creepy cousin out of the family.
Morgan: [Pensively] Wow. No more Buy More.
[Everyone sips.]
Chuck: Problem.
Sarah: What?
Chuck: There has to be a final mission. There’s always a final mission.
Morgan: Problem. We have three episodes left, plus this one. Final four missions?
Chuck: It doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Sarah: Maybe we’ll have more sexy times? Or I could have a birthday?
Chuck: Doubtful.
Sarah: [Sighs wistfully] Yeah.
Morgan: So, one final mission at a time. Any ideas?
[Everyone sips.]
Casey: There’s time for a kidnap. [Points his mug at Chuck] It’s your turn.
Sarah: Great. I get to do the rescuing and again no Emmy nomination for my trouble.
Chuck: Yeah, that was a bummer. I was grateful, though.
Sarah: You’re welcome, sweetie.
Casey: Also don’t forget the Walker curse.
Morgan: What’s the Walker curse?
Sarah: Every time I try to quit badguyery, the Intersect fucks it up.
Morgan: Oh. Who do you think’s gonna upload it this time?
Casey: Don’t look at me. I’m getting too old for Kung Fu.
Sarah: [Rolls her eyes] Fine, I’ll do it.
Chuck: That would actually be awesome.
Sarah: Not if they make you my handler. According to the CIA protocol we’ll have to get a divorce or else you’ll be reassigned.
Chuck: Oh. Well that sucks.
Sarah: Yeah. I’ll be a single parent.
Chuck: [Confused] I thought the peace sign means ‘no’.
Sarah: It does. The little ‘flip the bird’ means you’re screwed.
Chuck: I still think it looks like an arrow.
Sarah: Actually it looks like a tiny…
Chuck: Sarah!
Sarah: I was going to say finger.
Chuck: Sure you were.
Casey: [Grunts] Hey, June, Ward, focus.
Chuck: Sorry.
[Everyone sips.]
Sarah: Which version of the Intersect do you think I'll get?
Sarah: Which version of the Intersect do you think I'll get?
Chuck: Well, 1.0 was upgraded to 2.0.
Morgan: Which was turned into version Douche.
Casey: And 3.0 is actually in a douche.
Chuck: Omen and all.
Morgan: [To Sarah] Are you gonna color your hair? Frosted tips won’t work on the blond.
Sarah: I don’t know. [To Chuck] Should I go black again?
Chuck: I don’t want to feel like I’m cheating on you. Unless it’s with Bo Derek.
Sarah: You want to cheat on me with Bo Derek?
Chuck: She is Bo Derek.
Sarah: Good point. Okay, if you meet Bo Derek, I give you permission to fill her body with rainbows.
Chuck: Thanks, sweetie.
Morgan: You lost the poster, huh?
Sarah: Ewww!
Chuck: [Defensively] I was fifteen.
Morgan: He was twenty-three.
Chuck: [Sighs dreamily] I was.
[Everyone who would’ve had coffee left had we given you real coffee, sips]
Morgan: [To Casey] Hey, did you remember to put sunscreen on Jeff?
That is hilarious and made my morning. I loved the "It's your turn to get kidnapped" line. Oh! And June and Ward! Nice.
ReplyDeleteWas that a Friends reference, too? Would Chuck the the type to laminate his list? I think so.
You should write tor TV. :)
Hahahaha. Nothing better than a little satire of the things you love. Why couldn't you really have been one of the Chuck writers.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious. Thanks for a good laugh!
