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.
