Scare Campaign Page #2

Marcus, I need to talk to you.

Vicki. F***.

Vicki! Hi. Lovely surprise.

Uh... in 10.

Yeah, why? What's it about?

F***, she's called a meeting.

OK, Dicko. What have we got?

Check it out.

I tried to get around the gun

best I could.

I resized some shots.

Threw in some sound effects.

Rumbling, echo.

Looks like

we got you good there.

Yeah, I mean,

it's not the prettiest cut,

but we can live with it.

Alright. Just hold on the tight

of the stooge at the end

and then bang into

the credits.

Marcus, I quit.

Uh, Dick,

Vicki called a meeting.

Why don't you go

let the others know?

Oh, thank God.

You're probably just going

to tear it up again, but here.

Let me guess...

last week was the final straw?

Yes. Yes, it was.

God, you always say

what I mean to say

before I get to say it.

Well, I am responsible

for your best lines.

I'm not in character

right now, Marcus.

Yes, you are.

You're always in character.

And today

you're playing the part

of a sensitive young actress

who's decided

she's too good for the crass,

though, let's face it, pretty

damn entertaining TV show

that's kept her fed

for the last three years.

No. I'm a concerned human being

who is worried

that one day we're gonna prank

the wrong guy.

Oh, come on, Em. You've got

nothing to worry about.

Nothing gets past me, alright?

Look, do you really think

I didn't know

about the stooge's gun?

- His toy gun?

- I don't know, Marcus.

Maybe you did,

maybe you didn't.

Come on.

We all know the best pranks

are the ones that go

a little bit off script.

You didn't need to go to

all this trouble, you know?

What do you mean?

If you want to break up

with me, just say it.

We broke up months ago!

No. Did we? But we...

There's been,

like, one or two lapses.

One or two?

I'm a bit conflicted

right now, Marcus,

but I mean it this time.

So we are done?

I... I am talking

about the show.

- You sure?

- Yes! And us.

God. I knew this would be hard.

Come on, Em.

You know I need you.

Creatively.

You're like Reville

to my Hitchcock.

I mean, slightly easier

on the eye,

but you know what I mean.

Look, we get the finale in

the can and the season's done.

Right? No more stooges,

no more surprises.

Then I give you my blessing

to return to the pulsating

world of community theatre.

Theatre in Education,

arsehole.

OK. So, this is it.

Glendale mental asylum.

Totally abandoned.

Completely secluded.

Production values galore.

You guys are going to love it.

What's the power

situation like?

Well, they shut it down

in the '90s.

Some parts are

still connected, but...

Look, technically,

it's a challenge,

but you're not gonna find
