(Circa-2010s. KEVIN is a famous and miserable sitcom actor. After another hard day of filming has wrapped up, KEVIN treats his brother RANDALL to a drink in order to catch up.)

KEVIN

So. What's your favorite episode of The Manny?

RANDALL

The Manny. (Thinking hard.) Hmm. This is a toughy… I know! The one where the man becomes a nanny.

KEVIN

He's already a nanny.

RANDALL

Oh…

KEVIN

Who's your favorite character?

RANDALL

(Sips his drink, stalling.) … You, of course.

KEVIN

What's my name?

RANDALL

(Feigns ignorance.) Kevin? Kevin Pearson.

KEVIN

Second favorite character?

RANDALL

Uhm… your daughter? I mean your - the child that you're taking care of.

KEVIN

It's a baby.

RANDALL

Right.

KEVIN

Like a literal baby… it can't talk.

RANDALL

Oh.

KEVIN

(Pressing.) Is it a boy or girl?

RANDALL

Ggggirrrr… boy, boy. Definitely boy. I mean girl.

KEVIN

(Getting up from the table.) That's just great, Randall…

RANDALL

Well, now wait a minute, Kevin. You don't know what I do.

KEVIN

Of course I do. You work in that office building. You're that transponster… guy.

RANDALL

(Rubbing his face.) Ohhh Kevin, Kevin, Kevin…

KEVIN

Don't Kevin Kevin me. I can't believe you can't pick up the remote and turn on the TV…

RANDALL

I watch TV.

KEVIN

You don't watch my show.

RANDALL

No because why would I want to watch that show? Why would I want to watch that shoddy show? I thought ever since your public meltdown you weren't even on it anymore.

KEVIN

You know what, Randall -

RANDALL

Get a new career, bro. Because your acting is stale and your jokes are runny.

KEVIN

You know what you looked like in all our family pictures? You look like a big Black horse that didn't belong there.

(Beat. Both men stand there, steeping in their hurt feelings.)

MANNY FAN

Hey, Manny! Can I get an autograph, Kevin Pearson? We're the biggest fan of your show in my house and I just -

(KEVIN snatches the notepad and chucks it into the bar bin.)

MANNY FAN

Alrighty! (Salutes, walks away.)
