hello :)

this is the first script i have for the scene where we just CANNOT remember the order! So this is it from now :)

John : That's it, that's the one
Carl : Yes...on the canvas ?
Imi : Or on camera...

Scott : I am Andy Warhol
Ravo : I am Andy Warhol
Emily : I am Andy and Valerie
Emma : I am a factory girl
Jess : I will be Valerie
Imi : I am the cameraman
Dani : I will be smoking
Emily : Me too
Lucy : We're gonna take you to New York
Scott : Alice Cooper has been signed to Frank Zappa's label?
John ; I will be listening to the Velvet Underground
Imi : I'm gonna get hiiiigh
Carl : I'm gonna make a phonecall
Tori : I am a playwright
Jess : I'm gonna be drugged up to my eyeballs
Ravo : I've got a 32 calibre stored away in a paper bag
Emma : I'm Valerie
Adam : We are the assassination committee
Glen : I am Andy
Tori : I am Valerie

Riiight, this is it. my only query is Scott's line about Alice Cooper is a bit random? Cos it doesnt say what he'll be doing in the show, like everyone else's?

Love yooous nerds. xx
