The Guild (2007) s05e05 Episode Script

Focus Problems

Okay, eavestrapolation - Floyd is gonna sell our game! That guy he was with, his name is Chet Grumwald.
I clocked his badge.
Yeah I said clocked, I've been watching a lot of detective shows lately.
Anyway.
I looked him up, and he works for RTX - the in-game, big-bad of corporate gaming.
RTX sucks up indie games, and, and, spits 'em out, with marketing, and glitzy graphics, and they put the characters on fast food cups, it just - ewww! Floyd looked so down, and depressed - and I'm sure he was referring to me with that morons comment! Man, I'm such a perp.
Hey Codex, you and Zaboo "do it" yet? Oh, OMG! Did you!? Did you do it here? Oh! What about on the table? I don't want to talk about it! Oh yeah.
There's that, too.
ÑèíõðîíèçàÃèÿ - xkorikx I am not being histrionic! Draw up the paperwork - what else could that mean!? Strength buff.
In a daytime syndicated court of law, I don't think speculation of this sort would be admissable evidence.
Take down the Lorax, Clara! Use frost! Well, he could've been talking about anything, like maybe he ordered a bride from the Baltics - huh! Possible baddies, incoming, pew pew.
No, it was definitely businessy! The suit-guy, he works for RTX.
He stood out at the con like Darth Vader at a baby shower.
Bladezz! You're drawing aggro, shielding! Who cares if he sells the game? It's been around five years, no one's gonna screw with it.
Stunning [something.]
on the shaman! Crap, down.
Big companies are fine, what problems have they ever done except for being big? Ugh, I'm down.
A more ignorant statement I've never heard remind me to lend you "Atlas Shrugged".
Codex, hals! But if the shut down the game - guys, we just wiped, and it's like you don't even care! Zaboo! Alright, alright.
Master Chiefs! We'll reconvene in 2100 hours.
What's the deal with your helmet friends? Did they bring snacks!? Naw.
My seat saver's organization has gotten so big, Good peeps.
Are you forming a cabal? That interests me.
I don't know what that means.
But, I did rework my schedule so I could fit in 48 screenings and panels! Just this weekend.
Just gotta stay up and do it all! First up, Fable: Tickle Your Way to the Monarchy! Heh! So, where are we? Hailstone Gulch? Let's do this, I got 14 minutes.
14 minutes!? We have another hour to raid! I'm overbooked this weekend! That's why I got the Master Chief assistants.
I cannot believe you! The guild is more important than your stupid butt warmer group.
Are you trying to tear us apart? Over-dramatic'd.
See Codex? Why would you be into him? You just need to do it already.
I'll watch.
Wait, you told them about our thing? Everyone.
He's quasi-semi-partially attracted to you.
A genetic fool's errand.
Are you guys gonna have babies? No! It's, just I don't wanna talk about it! It really wasn't gonna work.
Dead end'd.
So you guys kissed, made sure it was okay? Well there's only one way to find out, you gotta download the demo to make sure.
No, Clara, this does not feel right? Well at least she didn't through us into a closet.
That would've been a real analogy.
Yea.
Okay, so, we're, uh, here.
Well, maybe we don't have to do this at all.
You know, just like, pretend we were Oh, no, no.
We should try it out, you know, definitively decide, one way or another.
Cool, I'm game.
Okay.
Maybe we should do, like, a count-down.
Yeah, okay One, three Two, two One more time Okay, three, two One, two alright.
Okay.
Three.
Two.

It's not good.
I'm gonna stop kissing you now.
Okay I mean, it wasn't horrible, it was It just tasted like cardboard, a little bit.
Riiight frrriieeennds.
Yeah.
We're friends! Okay! Done.
Yeah! Alright.
So, uh.
That's it, right? Hey, remember that time we got shoved into that bathroom, and then we started like totally makin' out? Like hardcore too soon'd? Too soon'd.
So, it didn't work out, Zaboo and I are definitely not compatible, we hello? What're you guys lookin' at? Oh, Vork here talked us into the fancy celebrity autograph area.
Currently watching the fruits of our labor.
Oh this crap's payin' for our room rental, by the way.
People actually pay you to sign stuff? Heh, better, check this out.
"Agh, we're fighting!" "I'm pistol whipped!" "We're on the moon, man.
" "Ah, you're friendly!" For a small fee, cheesy pirate kid will debase himself in a video of your whim.
At your service.
You're whoring yourself out for money? Hey, if the name fits, I'll wear it.
Guys, we gotta figure out what's going on with the game! Does anyone want to take time out of their busy schedule and adventure-game this out with me? I'll go with you, Codex.
Of course first i'll have to pick up that box of shirts Clara left at that snotty steam punk booth.
Oh, no no, let me get the shirts; I want to help with our business.
You just want to go stare at that clock-work stuff again.
I know! You guys, there's this new thing that I'm totally into - - there's clock pieces, and brown and shiny bits, and top hats and corsets - - it's like my new favorite thing.
I'm gonna go to the booth, pick up our shirts, and me and the pretty girl are gonna be best friends! How can you guys be calm about this!? I mean, we're talking about our game's existance! What else do I have? I mean, I'm unemployed, and my personal life is a disaster - I just, I don't understand Did you guys kiss already? I forgot to notice.
The game can wait okay? This con is basically the epitome of living life! Must stay up.
Ginsing'd! Ungh unnggghh Oh, hey! Anyone want to go to a superhero party with me for 36 minutes? One of the bouncers is on my seat saver's list.
Oh, yeah! Hell yea!!!! Ew, Bladezz, please don't go.
Absolutely not! I'm not gonna go just to watch you guys having raving, and boozing, and all-night pill-popping fun! I'm gonna stay here and eat room snacks.
No you will not! We cannot party, I mean, the very fabric of - of our social existence is threatened, I mean come on! I can't believe they carded me.
Don't they know who I am!? Ung, I need to go to like ten more parties tonight.
Ugggh! So exhausted! I need an energy drink! That's the stuff! Master Chief's! Clear a path! Oh, heyy Tink! Drunk isn't helping me.
My life is just, really empty, you know? I mean, what am I gonna do without the game? Loneliness.
Codex! You take everything so seriously! Uh, pretend to kiss me! Okay.
Pretend, you perv! Wha-what are you hiding from? Oh, pretty girls? I really like your eyelashes.
Yes, the blonde chicks, I can't let them see me! Why? They're my sisters!
