Request Line: Don’t You Want Me, Baby?

INT. NFL DRAFT GREEN ROOM – EVENING

A number of gifted athletes lounge around on couches. A cellphone rings.

MYLES JACK: [perks up, glances at phone, looks deflated]

EZEKIEL ELLIOT: [smiles at JACK, shrugs] Guess we got the same ring tone.  [answers phone, hops up and exits the room.  In the distance, a pair of pistols are heard firing]

A half hour later…

LAREMY TUNSIL: [exhales…let’s say “a sigh of relief”.  Yeah, “exhales a huge sigh of relief”] WHEW!  [departs]

Still later…

SHAQ LAWSON: [answers phone]

REX RYAN: [audible throughout the green room even though LAWSON is holding the phone to his ear] HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIN’ FALLDOWN BOY?  CAN’T BELIEVE YOU MADE IT TO US!  GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE ON STAGE, YOU’RE COMING TO BUFFALO!

SHAQ LAWSON: [grins, skips off to the podium]

An hour later…

VERNON BUTLER: [gets call, stands up, turns to mother] Finally!  Wow, I thought I wasn’t gonna get taken until tomorrow.  Sure would have been embarrassing to sit here this whole time and…[notices JACK]…um…[trails off]

Two hours later…

INNOCENT HONDURAN JANITOR: Todavía estás aquí?

MYLES JACK: [stands up, draws leg back to kick table, thinks better of it]

INNOCENT HONDURAN JANITOR: Mira el lado bueno – Cleveland elige primero mañana. Ellos necesitan un apoyador!

MYLES JACK: [weeps]

For today’s Request Line, let’s show Myles Jack a little sympathy and let him know he’s not the only one who’s ever felt like he’s been passed over.  This week’s theme: songs of isolation, exclusion, rejection, and unrequited love.

Wait, what’s this?  Are we really getting this Request Line started off with a double shot? YOU’RE GODDAMNED RIGHT WE ARE!

Aside from the smoking possum (giggity? not sure)…that all looks way to familiar.

In The Wee Small Hours is a whole album of Sinatra crooning about loneliness the way only he could (he was going through a divorce from Ava Gardner at the time).

The title track is not something you should listen to when you’re recently broken up:

That happens to everyone sometimes. At least that’s what she said to me last night; and the night before, and the night before that, and…

They can treat premature postulation these days. Or you can think about PK, that might be too much, though.

jjfozz

God damn that’s funny. When I heard about that, I ran to high ground to avoid the flood of hate, bigotry, and flat out ignorance that would be pouring out of the South and the Flyover States.

I feel a lot of the Vampire Weekend catalog would fit the theme as well.
