Tune Up #1
Jonathan Larson
MARK
December 24th, nine P.M.
Eastern standard time
From here on in
I shoot without a script
See if anything comes of it
Intead of my old shit
First shot - Roger
Tuning the Fender guitar
He hasn't played in a year
ROGER
This won't tune
MARK
So we hear
He's just coming back
From half a year of withdrawal
ROGER
Are you talking to me?
MARK
Not at all
Are you ready?
Hold that focus - Steady
Tell the folks at home
What you're doing Roger...
ROGER
I'm writing one great song
MARK
The phone rings
ROGER
Saved!
MARK
We screen
