- A large room. A simple acoustic beat is being laid down. It seems natural. Someone is definitely beating on a desk, chair or surface of some sort. A-Rod and Vito are ad-libbing to it. The beat stops, piano suddenly rides in.
[VITO:] (CONT'D)
Then I see a mouse on the couch...
- Everyone chuckles. The beat returns; Vito continues ad-libbing. Once again, the beat drops. A-Rod smiles, he's finally got the shot he's been setting up for the camera.
[A-ROD:]
That's good...
- The beat returns.
[VITO:]
Go back on the piano!
- Nate can be heard in the background. Everyone is becoming excited and revved up. A-Rod who is still setting the shot for the camera, calls for peace.
[A-ROD:]
Alright! Don't move, don't move, don't move...
Alright.
- There's a moment of silence. A-Rod calls over Marq to hold and check the shot for the camera. Vito clicks promptly and comedically into stage mode.
[VITO:]
Oh wait! I need to get like, physically ready.
- The whole room rolls their eyes, chuckling once more.
[NATE:]
Nerd status: "This is Travis Raeburn."
- Nate smiles at Vito and they simper at the comment. Nate sits at the piano, prepared to begin playing. He's just trying to pa** the time. Vito is now standing mid-stage. A-Rod and Marq are still setting the camera.
[MARQ:]
Yeah.
[A-ROD:]
Hm?
[MARQ:]
Alright, it's recording.
[A-ROD:]
(cartoonishly)
Oh yeah! Oooh!
[VITO:]
I'm hungry...
- A-Rod motions Vito to come to the camera and check the spot as he prepares his placement on the set. In the background, Nate tinkers with the piano. A-Rod plays with a mirror, smiling at his reflection.
[MARQ:]
(whispering)
Lookin' at that mirror boy?
[NATE:]
What's he saying?
[A-ROD:]
(laughing)
I don't know.
(seriously)
A lot...
- Just like A-Rod, everyone laughs at first but then slowly appreciates the moment.
[VITO:]
(fixing the shot)
Interact with that mirror.
[MARQ:]
(checking behind VITO)
Word boy.
- Everyone's now set. Time for a test run...
[A-ROD:]
Count it in...
- Nate counts it off with a comical incomprehensible catchphrase. The piano starts and simultaneously Vito begins stepping. There is a sudden stop.
[NATE:]
Ready when you are.
[A-ROD:]
We ready...
