The Guild (2007) s05e07 Episode Script
Downturn
Big decisions, big life decisions the last few years - well, you've heard me whine, you know they haven't been great.
Finding the Game, and the guild, was a life saver for me it was a safe place where I didn't feel like collapsing, all the time.
But, lately, I've just - I've been drifting, and uh If I quit the game, will the guildies still be my friends anymore? Was Floyd right, were they even real to begin with? Without Codex, who am I? That's what I have to find out I hate being an adult! I'm hungry, I might order room service why is room service so expensive!? Oh, whatever.
Too many people are mistaking me for the Asian girl from - any show.
Gonna change, I'll be out of here, quick What next? I made all of these myself.
Are you kidding? Pretty good for a pre-med major, right? Yea! I'm, not pre-med anymore.
I've been getting a costume design degree for the last five semesters.
Wow.
Yeah.
But, catch - my parents have been paying for a pre-med degree for two years.
They have no idea I switched majors Why don't you tell them? I'm adopted.
I can't be the screw-up, that's like a bad indie film.
Oh, you're adopted, that's why you have white sisters.
Not that there were a lot of other options They were so excited that I was going to be a doctor, I don't want to disappoint.
So.
Every time I get text message asking, "does this mole look cancerous, dear? I have to press the ignore button.
That's why I was avoiding Lara and Tara last night.
Check out my Gaga.
Glamorous.
Lara and Tara, twins that rhyme? Ew.
Yea, ridiculous.
You should tell them.
I mean, hard decisions are hard to decide, but, they make you feel better after kind of.
Are you kidding? I'm basically stealing from them.
No thanks.
Lying and obliviousness, is better.
I didn't mean to tell you to get a life earlier.
No, I know, you're right - I need to live life less sadly I just don't know what that is.
Ah, hey, Vork - buddy.
You're filming the wrong thing - magic's happening here.
Dude, your gaze-on for Miss MILF over there is hard as a coconut.
Dude, your gaze-on for Miss MILF over there is hard as a coconut.
Madelyn Twain was and is a goddess of the small-screen.
She played intrepid assistant Charity Maddox, to Chuck Boswell's professor, in the seminal sci-fi series Time Rings, 1992 - 1997.
So, even before my mom's time.
I was the head of her fan club Her departure was so abrupt, they couldn't compensate, canon-wise.
Her character Charity was simply abandoned, in a Roman-era episode never to be referred to again.
Time Rings was canceled, half a season after Curse you, Madelyn Twain.
Uh, so you hate her.
Why are you trembling? She's still sooo beautiful.
Okay.
Woah, freeze - Freeze, boy!!! Look, Sandman finished 14 years ago, these kids have no idea who I am.
The convention's given me the biggest room in the place, this is gonna be embarrassing.
Your seat saver's network is my only hope.
Sure, sure.
You're stuff's okay, if you like universally-acclaimed - awesome - graphic novels and such But, uh - I don't know.
A few million twitter followers is not going to get Mega-Gameoroma-Con excited about a writer.
Look, Sandman Zero's coming out next year, I'll get you a signed set.
Personally signed to you.
To exploit the network? For a panel? Gotta run, so much to see, so much to do, so many things going on, you know I'll put you in the comic!! Cover.
And give me muscles.
It's not that kind of a comic Make it that kind of a comic! Ok, maybe like, special thanks or something? Yea, we can do that.
2 PM tomorrow, room 5A? 2 PM tomorrow, room 5A.
I'll alert the network just this once.
Look, I'm really grateful.
Thank you so much! It's a new convention, comic-man! And the seat savers rule it.
Spread the word.
Don't, don't do that.
Sorry, Neil Gaiman, heh.
Hey, sexy - my handler would love to meet you.
We're the guys in the popular corner.
Bladezz stupid pirate You boys are so busy.
I mean, the enthusiasm of the fans is admirable One can't help but miss being that popular.
Oh, well, it's not that hard - and, you know what, I think Vork could hook you up, in return for, a little face time, if you know what I mean.
Nee-yah! Nee-yah! Hey Madelyn, good to see you guys! Hey, could you tell me how this Twitter thing works, and how is it good for me? Can I get a photo with you, for MyFace? My gay aunt will flip! MyFace? You know what that is! I met a woman there once - definitely not your aunt - could be.
Um, why don't you guys come hang with us tonight? Uh, did you mean us, like, "other faces I'd recognize", and hang out, like, talking and coolness? Uh-huh! I'd love to learn more about this new technology frontier, and you guys are the experts.
Vork won't go.
He's not impressed by the "puppet people", no offense guys.
Ohhh, Madelyn there me, together same room lady oh, oh, ohhh Uh, that - might be a yes? Great, room 304, at the Westin across the street, at 7 PM.
Alright, well, let's go back to work, get you wiped off, and we'll see you guys tonight.
De-det-de-deet-de-det - sounds like a woodpecker.
Oh, I said wood! And pecker, heh! No talent there.
And she cannot mix a proper laudanum, either.
Disastrous.
And her chloroform, ineffective.
No response on the ouiji board, and because of the pregnancy, opium and absinthe sipping are out.
It's a shame, really, Pip - but you are unqualified in any of the poseur fields.
Won't do for a costume contest, simply will.
Not.
Do.
We must create a respectable mise-en-scene.
Understand? Um, how difficult can it be? Get a costume, act all snooty - done and done.
Are you trying to undermine our faith? Steampunk is a unique look, and lifestyle Melina! Your stays, your stays! Steampunk is steampunk.
Describable only by the word itself.
Thank you, darling - I owe you a tonic at dinner.
I'm sorry, dear, though your efforts are admirable, if you don't "get it", you simply can't be a part of it.
Sad Clara is sad.
Like I said, I've been disillusioned about the game, and the guild - but your confiding in me upstairs, it really meant a lot.
As a friend.
So, I wanted to do something for you - not about me.
Eww.
Walking greeting card, much? Apirl Lou! We're so excited to see you! Look at you, as pretty as ever! Apirl Lou? I take it back.
You're not okay.
You are DEAD! ÃÂõÃÂõòþô ÃÂÃÂþóþ ÃÂøûÃÂüð ýð ÃÂþÃÂðñõýþøôõ:
