INT. TRACY'S AFRICA SET.
A group of child actors try to look as emaciated and thin as possible while TRACY keeps shoving handfuls of food into his mouth, chewing, and then spitting it out on the floor. His dashiki rings and he pulls out his cell phone.
TRACY
No, I would not like to donate.
LIZ
(Temporarily confused) Hey Trey! It's me.
TRACY
Me too. What ails you, Elezabeth?
LIZ
Nothing, I just called to check in on you, how's Africa?
TRACY
(Reading off of his hand) Cold, and everyone smells like old vegetables.
LIZ
(Confused silence) Wha-
Tracy looks back at the hand he read from and realizes that the description is entitled "Bavaria". He has a "whoops!" look and switches hands quickly.
TRACY
I mean hot and strangely familiar!
LIZ
Alright... Good! Make any major changes yet?
TRACY
In fact, we are working on investigating corruption in Oprah's school and looking for just rulers to misappropriate funds for.
LIZ
I'm little exhausted so I'm just going to substitute that with "We're tossing water bottles and wearing bright t-shirts"
TRACY
Sounds good.
LIZ
Alright.
They hang up. Liz is sitting on a set that looks like the White House with an actor (back to the camera) being fitted with an Abraham Lincoln costume until we pan away to reveal the sign, "The Fanciest TJ Maxx you've ever seen" and DANNY is being fitted with an orthodox Jewish costume. Liz huffs and gets up as JACK enters hurriedly, scraping at a stain on his suit.
JACK
(Loudly) Lemon! Do you know what it feels like to be hardcore spewed on and then have to continue to feed the person?
LEMON
(Quickly and embarassedly) It was a mutual breakup! It wasn't because he was disabled!
JACK
I'm talking about Liddy of course. Whenever babies in commercials are fed, they just smile and high-five a cartoon baby until they themselves turn into a cartoon baby. How long is it until I have a cartoon baby?
LIZ
Jack, you knew what you were in for with this baby, right? I mean, it's hard work.
JACK
Would you know that from the time you stole one or from one of your elaborate fantasies.
LIZ
Nods slightly "You have a point".
JACK
Sometimes I wonder if she's happy.
LIZ
That's actually really sweet.
Her phone beeps, she looks down then back up.
LIZ
Writer meeting, got to go. Good luck with Liddy!
She walks off briskly.
CUT TO: WRITER'S ROOM
LUTZ is sitting alone at one side of the table while TOOFER, FRANK, and PETE are laughing and drawing faces on boobs in a celebrity magazine.
LUTZ
(Under his breath) Hey, funny joke, Lutz! Why don't you come to our food party?
LIZ
Alright, losers, assemble.
Everyone slowly gets to the table and shuts up.
LIZ
I have some semi-exciting news for all of you-
FRANK
My dentist appointment got bumped?
LIZ
Shut up, no talk now! (Flustered), Kabletown has challenged us to an extra-special competition. Whoever can write the best Kabletown themed sketch gets a raise!
Everyone seems excited.
LIZ
Mr. Hooper doesnt believe in bribes so Jack convinced him to let him give us Monopoly money.
Everyone seems confused.
LIZ
Jack plays Capitalist Swine Monopoly so the game money is actually worth alot.
LUTZ
(whispered) Yes, Hornberger!
LIZ
So, get crackin! Make this sketch your special victim!
