Mark: -yawns and gets up- I had the WEIRDEST dream last night…-gets out-
Jake: -waits outside with breakfast- good morning!!! -big grin-
Roger: -eats at the table- did you see that Mark? He can COOK!
Mark: …Roger…pinch me…
Roger: -pinches him- I say he's a keeper!
Mark: -rubs his shoulder- damn I'm awake.
Jake: pancakes anyone?!
Mark: …you made pancakes?
Jake: yes!!
Mark: I haven't had pancakes since I moved out of my parents' house! It's my favorite!
Jake: I thought so. -grin grin-
Mark: …huh?
Jake: you seem like the sort of person who would love pancakes. How about hamburgers for lunch?
Mark: …hamburgers…? Like out of...real meat? -hopeful-
Jake: sure. Big, nice, juicy and just a little burned.
Roger: -drools-
Mark: -drools too- with a side of fries?
Jake: what else?
Mark: …oh my god…-collapses into a chair- you better not be teasing.
Jake: nope. -gives him a plate with five pancakes and maple syrup-
Mark: -finishes it all in a minute- god I died and went to heaven…
Jake: -watches his every move-
Mark: -notices- …what?
Jake: you sure were hungry. Want some more?
Mark: yes please!
Jake: -gives him seven more-
Roger: -snatches two away- you can't possibly eat everything.
Mark: …you just had 12. -eats-
Roger: -eats-
Jake: and there's more where that came from!
Mark: …wanna move in?
Jake: really?!!??!!?!!
Mark: as long as you cook- you can stay here!
Jake: oh honey, that's so great! -kisses him-
Mark: …okay I haven't changed my mind about that.
Jake: -too busy making more pancakes to listen-
Mark: -sighs-
Roger: I love this one! Much more useful than Maureen!
Mark: yeah I like him too, but that doesn't mean I like him that way…
Roger: sure, sure. -eats-
Mark: I'm not gay -points out-
Jake: who's up for some chocolate cake?
Mark: …seriously? I couldn't possibly eat another bite…but save some for me for later!
Jake: -takes out a huge chocolate cake with cream that smells amazing-
Roger: -drools-
Mark: …oh my god…well just a little piece…
Jake: -cuts each of them a huge piece-
Roger: -gobbles up-
Mark: -tastes- …you made this??
Jake: just now.
Mark: it's amazing! –eats-
Roger: -mouthful- isn't it?!
Mark: yeah! -hands Jake a fork- come on, I can't finish this by myself.
Jake: -smiles and eats with him-
Mark: -eats-
Roger: -laughs into his plate-
Mark: what? -darkly-
Roger: look at you two getting it on.
Mark: …oh just choke on that cake.
Roger: -eats happily-
Mark: so Jake. Don't you have a job to get to?
Jake: yes, as a matter of fact I do. I'm a producer on NBC,
Mark: -chocks- you're…you're what???
Jake: yeah, it's cool. So I only have to be there by 10.
Mark: you work on NBC? I tried to sell them my stuff…forever…
Jake: really? I can get you a job there, like, in one phone call.
Mark: …seriously?
Jake: sure.
Mark: …but you haven't even seen my stuff…
Jake: so?
Mark: no, if I get a job I want it to be for talent, not connections.
Jake: you're right. Let me see your stuff.
Roger: -cracks up-
Mark: -ignores Roger- promise you'll be objective, okay?
Jake: promise.
Mark: -sets up his films and plays-
Jake: -watches-
-several hours later-
Mark: so, what did you think? -nervously-
Jake: you're hired.
Mark: …really?
Jake: you're better than all the guys who tried to get in.
Mark: thanks! Amm…I'm hired to do what exactly?
Jake: why a director of our documentaries of course.
Mark: …seriously??? Thank you!!!! -hugs him-
Roger: -laughs his head off-
Mark: -ignores Roger- when do I start? –happily-
Jake: I'm going there now anyway, you can come with me. I'll take you in my car, it's right outside.
Mark: cool let's go!
Jake: -leaves hamburgers in the fridge-
Mark: -puts on his scarf-
Roger: -lowers his voice- make sure this one doesn't hear you call it SCARFY.
