ThESE AREN'T REAL SKETCHES
ERIK TANOUYE and WILL HINES are sitting in the UCBT training
center.
ERIK
The sketches you're posting for sketch month aren't real
sketches.
WILL
How do.
ERIK
They're just moments, or at best lists. I mean, they may have
value as germs of ideas, but they're not even sketches.
WILL
What would constitute a sketch?
ERIK
A game, which is played at least once and optimally at least
three times. Preferably heightened, but even if it's played the same way a
couple of times I'd say that's a sketch.
WILL
Isn't the whole point of sketch month to write ANYTHING? To
break the inertia of not writing?
ERIK
Yes, but it's still called National Sketch Writing Month.
It's not National Germ of an Idea Month.
WILL considers.
ERIK
I mean, do what you want. No one is monitoring this. If
you're enjoying it, more power to you. But they're not sketches.
WILL
What are you working on?
ERIK
"American's Next Top Modeling Clay."
WILL stares at him.
ERIK
It's got a game.
WILL continues staring.

What are you working on?
