Pauly Shore Is Dead Page #3

Synopsis: Hollywood comedian/actor Pauly Shore loses everything: his house, nobody in Hollywood wants to represent him, he moves back home with his mom and is now parking cars at the Comedy Store. Then one night when he's up in his mom's loft, a dead famous comedian appears who tells Pauly to kill himself cause he'll go down as a comedic genius who died before his time. Pauly then fakes his own death, and the media goes crazy. Celebrities are talking about him on MTV and girls are fighting over him on Jerry Springer. It's everything that he wanted...his plan worked. A week or so later the LAPD is tipped off about his whereabouts and they break down the door of the seedy motel room that he's hiding out in and throw him in LA County's celebrity wing.

I'll call you in the morning|when I find out what the ratings are.

Mitch. Mitch, wait.

I just wanna say|thanks for everything.

Listen, Pauly, everything we've worked|so hard at in the last eight years...

- is comin' together just as planned, buddy.|- Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

stinky, bud-dy. I know.

stinky piece of sh*t, bud-dy.

Goin' down the toilet, bud-dy.|The f*** that guy does.

I'll tell you what he does.

He exists.|He lives.

He could be incinerated by the heat|from a thousand suns--

it would be too good.

The second somebody put a f***in'|microphone in his hand, and they said...

''Hey, it's okay to talk,'' that's|when the f***in' trouble began.

If my mommy owned a comedy club,|I'd be on f***in' top, too, motherf***er.

- [ Pauly ] Trevorina,you're the|architect to the stars, right?|- [ Woman ] Absolutely.

How long do these sitcoms|keep you workin' for?

What is it--|five, 1 0, 1 5 years?

- [ Phone Ringing ]|- How many episodes did the network order?

- six.|- [ Phone Continues Ringing ]

Wait. What are you doing?|Give me back my pen.

- six episodes?|-Just to start with. They're|gonna order more episodes.

- It's your manager.|- Hey. Hey, Mitch.

Pauly, you are not|gonna believe this.

- Are you sittin' down?|- Yeah.

- It was the lowest-rated show in Fox history.|- What?

Yeah. It didn't even|break the top 1 00.

What about people|in the middle of the country?

I don't know. They're pinheads.|I guess they're watchin' Springer reruns.

That's okay, that's okay.|'Cause it's the pilot episode.

It took seinfeld|a year to catch on.

Pauly, uh, brace yourself.|Are you braced?

- Yeah, I'm braced.|- They canceled your sitcom.

''Canceled''?

-Just like that?|- Hey, come on. Did you read the reviews?

- You told me not to.|- Entertainment Monthly gave it an ''F.''

They said, and I quote,|''sucks worse than gravity.''

So they're not even|gonna air episode two?

You've been preempted|by When Animals Attack.

- I could be attacked by animals.|- Hold it, Pauly.

I got another call.|I gotta take it.

- Maybe it's the network. I'll hold.|- As a matter of fact, it is.

- I got another show in the works with them.|- starring who?

I don't know.|It's my production deal.

How'd you get|your own production deal?

Well, you know, by, uh,|producing your show.

Look, Pauly,|I'll tell you what.

This afternoon,|I got some time, I'll call MTV.

I'll see if I can|get you back on.

Look, that's the last thing I'm gonna do|is go crawlin' back to MTV, okay?

- Gotta go.|- Don't you hang up on me!

-[ Dial Tone ]|-[ Pauly, Screaming ] Fuuuuck.!

[ David ] Listen, why don't we take|a drive to Santa Barbara...

grab some lunch,|clear the mind.

You might be a little shook up|by the news of the sitcom.
