COLONELTRAVIS1836: Hi everyone, thank you for coming out to another taping to another episode of The Barricade Buddies! I just have a couple of announcements. First one, is I have read your responses to new episode pitches, and they ARE going to be taken into the rotation within another episode or two, don't worry!

Secondly, I started watching a few funny shows and therefore have made a few cast changes.

Enjolras is still being played by Brett Dalton. Combeferre still by Noah Reid. Eponine is now played by Allison Brie. Musichetta is played by Gillian Jacobs, and Lesgles is played by Donald Glover for all of those Troy/Britta shippers from Community. That being said, I'm not sure who would play Joly since he's in the polygamous relationship with the other two, and I can't picture an Abed/Britta ship. Anyone know of a young actor who can pull off hypochondriac/OCD? Let me know in your reviews/PMs!

I think maybe Anna Kendrick would be better off as Cosette, and Ben Fankhauser (David Jacobs from Newsies) would be a better Marius.

Still unsure of who could play a good Bahorel. I was thinking about it and Steve Howey just isn't making the cut. Maybe Jake Johnson from New Girl.

And as for Feuilly, I'm leaning towards Giullian Yao Gioiello from Miss Julie's Greenroom.

Any suggestions? Objections? Let me know in the reviews/PMs! Now it's On with the Show!

LIVING ROOM

COMBEFERRE and EPONINE are sitting on the couch. COMBEFERRE has a clipboard.

COMBEFERRE: Okay…Kitchen?

EPONINE: Too open.

COMBEFERRE: (Writes on clipboard) Basement?

EPONINE: Even when Grantaire's not down there, his essence is.

COMBEFERR: (Scribbles on clipboard) Garage? (EPONINE narrows her eyes at him. He scribbles again.) Attic?

EPONINE: Too noisy. Remember last time we took the decorations out for Chr*stmas and your grandfather…wait…

COMBEFERRE: What?

EPONINE: Did I just get…bleeped for saying Chr*stmas?

COMBEFERRE: Oh…you didn't get the memo? We gotta say Happy Holidays.

EPONINE: But…the whole gang here is either Catholic, or not religious.

COMBEFERRE: But our fans/followers might not be.

EPONINE: Ugh! Okay! Either way, the last time there was movement up in the attic, and your grandfather stayed over, he started getting war flashbacks.

COMBEFERRE: Yeah. He loses one card game and is traumatized for life.

(Rim Shot)

EPONINE: That was terrible.

COMBEFERRE: I know…

EPONINE: Moving on! That basically leaves the hot tub which is too out in the open.

COMBEFERRE: Which brings us to the conclusion that the only place we can have sex anymore is in your bedroom or mine. So, the thrill is practically shot.

EPONINE: Yeah. After doing it as long as we have for the past seven episodes…it gets kind of boring, and now the risk of getting caught is no longer relevant now that everyone knows.

COMBEFERRE: You said it.

EPONINE: Yep.

COMBEFERRE: Uh huh…

EPONINE: Mhm!

COMBEFERRE: Yes sir.

EPONINE: Indeed.

COMBEFERRE: (Pause) Geez…are we really stretching out on running time?

EPONINE: This is getting us nowhere. Why don't we just go on a weekend getaway somewhere?

COMBEFERRE: Just the two of us?

EPONINE: Sure! Why not?

(JEHAN and FEUILLY enter through the front door. JEHAN is clutching his own arms and visibly shaken. FEUILLY is consoling him.)

COMBEFERRE: Whoa…Jehan. You okay, buddy?

FEUILLY: He just needs a minute…

JEHAN: the horror….the horror…

EPONINE: What happened?! He's as wh*te as a…OH COME ON!

FEUILLY: Eh…he's ok physically. Mentally right now…I don't know.

COMBEFERRE: I thought you guys went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Broadway today?

FEUILLY: Well…we did. (JEHAN sits on the couch in fetal position) And…that's why.

COMBEFERRE: Why what?

(BAHOREL enters the room watching a video on his iPad)

FEUILLY: That's why Jehan is kind of traumatized right now. And to tell you the truth, I may have a nightmare or two tonight.

COMBEFERRE: What the hell happened in that show that could've done this much damage to Jehan?

BAHOREL: Man, I just love Rocky & Bullwinkle. Those villains are always so funny with the way they pronounce "moose" and "squirrel"!

JEHAN: (Screams then hyperventilates) ARGH! ITS THEM! ITS THEM! DON'T LET THEM RIP ME APART! PLEASE! I WAS GOOD TO MY PARENTS! I ATE MY DARN VEGETABLES! I SWEAR!

FEUILLY: JEHAN! Calm Down! You're ok!

COMBEFERRE: Whoa…what just happened!

FEUILLY: Its…it's the 's' word.

COMBEFERRE: You mean "squirrel"?

JEHAN: OH GOD THEY'RE COMING FOR ME NEXT! NOTHING MAKES SENSE! THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CHUCK HER DOWN THE GARBAGE CHUTE! WHY DID THEIR EYES TURN RED! WHY DID THEY RIP HER APART?! WHY?! WHYYYY?!

FEUILLY: JEHAN! RELAX! It was just an act! Their eyes can't really turn from yellow to red! It's scientifically impossible!

EPONINE: You know what, Combeferre? Maybe we should let him take care of this!

COMBEFERRE: Okay…hey Jehan? Feel better okay?

(JEHAN slowly nods. EPONINE and COMBEFERRE exit through the front door. JOLY is holding his laptop.)

JOLY: Hey Bahorel? Where was that pdf you sent me? I can't find it on my email.

BAHOREL: Oh…you might need to scroll down—

(JEHAN screams)

Will Combeferre and Eponine ever find a place and time to become intimate again? Will Jehan recover from his PPT (Post Play Trauma)?

Tune in next week…or whenever it's convenient for the author…and find out!
