Episode Five: Pay It Backward

Scene Once: Los Angeles: Casey and Dan are at a sportscasters convention, where they meet with Gina, one of Casey's old college girlfriends who is now a sportscaster

Casey- Gina!

Gina- Casey!

They embrace. Dan looks at them, jealous because of Gina's beauty.

Gina- How's CSC? I heard about the expansion.

Casey- It's going great. The only problem now is that the show's been pushed to seven. How's A2?

Gina- A2's doing terrible. Can you believe they made me wear a tanktop during an interview with the Vice-President, for pete's sake?

Dan- I saw it. To be honest, I was aroused.

Gina slaps him

Gina- (To Casey) Your friend's a perv!

Casey- I can't resist seeing it either. Usually I'm the perv.

Gina- I know! Anyway, I've gotta go. I'm talking to my new boyfriend. He's a weatherguy in Seattle.

Casey- Why does Seattle need a weatherguy when it's rainy all the time?

Gina- Money, I guess?

Dan- We have to go. We have to sell the show to Ontario.

Gina- Bye.

Scene Two: CSC Studios: Jeremy enters an empty office

Jeremy- Hello? Hello? Is anyone here?

Jeremy walks to Isaac's office to see that Dana was sleeping on the carpet. Jeremy yells in her ear.

Jeremy- Danaaaaaaa!

Dana wakes up angry and kicks Jeremy in his privates.

Dana- Why are you here?

Jeremy- Why are you here?

Dana- My apartment's being quarantined.

Jeremy- You live in that place where the cat has rabies?

Dana- Yes.

Jeremy- You should have told me. I have an empty bedroom you could use.

Dana- I would say yes, but I'm classy.

Jeremy- So am I. It has a carpet, a mini-fridge, and a TV.

Dana- Okay.

Scene Three: Los Angeles: Casey and Dan are talking to the Canadian buyers, Orson and Terry

Casey- How are you two doing?

Orson- Great. This is exactly the same courtesy that made us buy "All My Children". We're still waiting for our money back.

Dan- It must've been a bad experience.

Terry- Bad experience?! It was utterly terrible. What we wanted was intrigue and suspense, and what we got was terminal illness and family values. We don't like family values in Ontario.

Casey- I'm sure that's every soap opera.

Terry- We didn't know that until the second year. Where's Isaac?

Dan- He couldn't come. He's on business.

Scene Four: Bermuda: Isaac is on a chair, being massaged by several beautiful women

Isaac- Now that's what I call a big budget!

Scene Five: Jeremy's Apartment: Jeremy is cooking Dana breakfast

Jeremy- Do you want your eggs scrambled or sunny side up?

Dana- Scrambled, please?

Jeremy- Your command is my work.

Dana- Thanks. I've never had a man whom I wasn't in a committive relationship with be this generous outside of my family.

Jeremy- You're welcome. Wanna go to the movies with me?

Dana- Of course I would love to. Why wouldn't I?

Jeremy- There was that one time at....

Dana- Don't mention that. I was a greedy idiot.

Jeremy smiles

Scene Six: Los Angeles: Orson, Terry, Casey, and Dan are talking about Canada

Terry- The politics here are great. Everyone's open with each other, what you call a sin we call children's programming, and soap operas are smarter. Much, much, much smarter.

Dan- Well that's pretty interesting. Isn't it, Casey?

Casey- I beg to differ. When I was in Montreal, I was slapped by Sanique.

Orson- Who hasn't been slapped by Sanique? I've been slapped by her, the head of the IOC's been slapped by her, even TV stars have been slapped by her.

Dan- Yikes! You're on the hit list!

Terry- That's actually a good thing. The last person whom she slapped got paid $23 million to do a movie about it for TV.

Casey- $23 million for a TV movie?! I should move to Canada.

Scene Seven: Movie Theater: Jeremy and Dana are watching a romantic movie

Jeremy- Isn't this beautiful?

Dana- Yes. This is possibly the greatest movie ever. But why does he have to die at the end? Isn't it usually the woman?

Jeremy- I love you.

Jeremy kisses Dana. Dana slaps him.

Dana- Shouldn't you be kissing Natalie?

Jeremy- She's on business.

Scene Eight: Bermuda: Natalie is recieving a massage from a series of handsome men

Natalie- Now that's what I call a big budget!
