349. Renewable Resource - Leslie







  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. BASE CAMP - DAY

  • TRU, GREG, LISA, and ADAM sit around the craft services table, surrounded by film crew members on lunch break.

  • GREG
  • Man, sometimes it sucks being veggie, film sets are hit and miss for food.

  • TRU
  • Whine, whine, whine.

  • LISA
  • Nah, it's true, I mean, I'm not a complete vegetarian...

  • ADAM
  • A flexitarian.

  • LISA
  • Whatever, but yeah, it'd be nice if they made it easier for veggies on set. Well, consistently anyway.

  • Adam yawns.

  • TRU
  • We boring you?

  • ADAM
  • Meh, who really cares? Let's talk about politics or religion.

  • GREG
  • Ha, you really do want to see us fight don't you?

  • ADAM
  • Eh, it'd be entertaining. Tru's agnostic, I'm going straight to hell and I don't really care, Lisa, care to add your status? Your state of belief.

  • GREG
  • Seriously? I'd much rather discuss braising a pig...

  • LISA
  • I'm sure you would. Well, you know...we can link food and religion. I mean...ok, so I'm not vegetarian, but I don't think humans were made to be omnivores - we're herbivores. I believe we were created and our bodies were designed to be renewed.

  • Tru nods, interested and Adam rolls his eyes slightly.

  • Greg mimics Tru's nodding.

  • Lisa looks at Greg and raises an eyebrow.

  • LISA
  • You, you agree with me.

  • GREG
  • Excuse me?

  • LISA
  • You're a Christian - I saw that flash of something, and you're sitting there and nodding like I'm saying something very fascinating and very new. It ain't new to you. Don't do that. Don't play that game. If you believe, act like it - otherwise, your faith is worth nothing.

  • Adam smiles and leans back.

  • Lisa stands.

  • LISA
  • Excuse me, I'm going to go check on the talent.

  • She grabs her walkie talkie and heads off.

  • Tru slips out of her chair.

  • Adam sits, still smirking.

  • Tru grabs his arm and pulls him away.

  • ADAM
  • What? What?

  • Greg sits in his chair, looking a little lost as the crew swirls around him.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
