Motivational Growth Page #4

Synopsis: Ian Folivor, a depressed and reclusive 30-something, finds himself taking advice from a growth in his bathroom after a failed suicide attempt. The Mold, a smooth talking fungus who was born of the filth collecting in a corner of Ian's neglected bathroom, works to win Ian's trust by helping him clean himself up and remodel his lifestyle. With The Mold's help, Ian attracts the attention of a neighbor he's been ogling through his peephole, Leah, and he manages to find a slice of happiness despite his unnatural circumstances. But Ian starts to receive strange messages from his old and broken down TV set that make him realize that The Mold may not be as helpful as it seems to be, and strange characters combined with stranger events cast Ian's life in the shadow of an epic battle between good and evil that Ian is only partially aware of.

I just need to know you're not trying to

take advantage of old Box; aren't trying

to make him a liar to his big

brother stuck in the bucket!

Ian:
I can do that.

I can get you some rent.

Box:
That's good to hear,

there are plenty of things I don't much like to hear.

That you can't get me vent, is something I like to hear.

Ian:
I can understand -

Box:
Shut up.

Give me something soon, soon okay Folliver?

Ian:
Yeah, Box of course.

This might sound weird to you,

but I actually have all the money that I owe you.

Box:
What's the problem then?

Ian:
Well, you live way on the other side

of the complex, you know?

I haven't left this apartment in

going on 16 months now, I think

And this is the problem,

for me at least, I'm not interested

particularly in leaving either.

Box:
Mail it.

Ian:
Mailbox is out there.

Box:
I'll come back then.

(knocking on door)

When should I come back?

Hey, Folliver you listening to me?

When do you want me to come back?

Ian:
whenever..

Box:
Right, I'll be back here in three days.

You have your rent together

and we won't have a problem.

Ian:
Yeah, uhuh, sure.

Box:
Three days Folliver

[magical music]

Guy:
Not so fast, heh.

Ian:
Who the f*** are you?

Plasmoday:
You see that?

That's a thing of beauty, I've been using it for years.

Not many people can do that,

what I just did. Art sort of thing.

Ian:
Your foot?

Plasmoday:
Well it's sort of lodged in there,

I'd ask you to shut the door to illustrate

but we just did that.

Ian:
Yeah, I meant to do that.

That was me trying to shut my door.

Plasmoday:
Right, and there she is.Thing of beauty.

So. Task at hand. Let's see your busted set.

Ian:
My what?

Oh! Oh Kent! My television!

You're the TV guy.

TV guy:
Yeah, that's me.TV guy.

Ian:
Wow. Look, I'm really sorry,

I was all just trying to shut my door,

you were like boom right in there, you know?

I didn't know you from Adam.

Plasmoday:
Funny you should say that, may I come in?

Ian:
Yeah, of course, sorry come right in.

Kent, my television, is right over there.

Plasmoday:
So this is it, huh?

Ian:
Yeah, that's him. He's been in my family for years.

Plasmoday:
I can see that.

Ian:
I was just watching it-

Plasmoday:
Nope!

(ominous music)

(groaning)

Got it, okay baby, here we go!

Ian:
Whoa, the f***?!

Plasmoday:
Your set's dead, pal.

Ian:
You licked my TV!

Plasmodayf:
Tubes fried.

Ian:
You licked Kent.

Plasmoday:
You're not gonna find

a replacement for this old thing.

Ian:
With your tongue.

Plasmoday:
You consider plasma?

Ian:
I don't even know what that is.

Plasmoday:
You don't need to know what it is,

you just need to know that you need it.

Ian:
I'm not sure that I do.
