INT. FREIGHT TRAIN BOXCAR – DAY
A pair of men are lounging on piles of straw inside of a boxcar. The train is moving slowly – no more than twenty miles per hour – and the car is rocking gently back and forth.
JIM TOMSULA: What did I tell you, buddy? Just like a crib.
PRODUCER: Hot damn, you were correct. I just wish you’d been as right when you told me I’d be able to keep down those freshwater clams.
TOMSULA: You still hungry? I got a couple of crab apples here somewhere.
JIM TOMSULA begins rummaging around in the hay surrounding his thighs.
PRODUCER: Um, maybe later. I’m just happy to be able to get comfortable for a bit. It’s not as comfy as that mattress we dragged aboard on the Witchita run, but this straw is getting the job done.
The producer stops for a moment and makes a funny face. He then erupts in an enormous sneeze.
PRODUCER: Could do without the hay fever, though.
TOMSULA: Ironically, hay fever isn’t actually caused by hay! There’s the little tiny creatures that…
PRODUCER: Yes, yes, they’re called bacteria, I know…
TOMSULA: Huh? No, the bacteria are the good guys. The little buggers causing the hay fever are called femptobots.
PRODUCER: The Austin Powers thing?
TOMSULA: No, no, fempt-o-bots. Like nanobots, but a lot smaller. See, originally the nanobots were at war with the picobots, and they tried to develop their own nanobots – relatively speaking, you know – to infect the picobots as a bioweapon – but they’re all robots, so less bio and more robo, you know – but they got out of control and infected humans instead. The bacteria eat ’em up pretty good but you gotta keep your flora in balance.
PRODUCER: Oh, so that’s why you were soaking all your clothes in that pool of rusty water at the last switching yard.
TOMSULA: [beaming] Yep. Tetanus gets a bad rap but it ain’t so bad if you keep it on the right side of your skin. Seems like you’re finally seeing the light!
PRODUCER: [apprehensively] Maybe, but…
TOMSULA: Shh! It’s time!
JIM TOMSULA pulls a device out of the hay, extends the antenna, and fiddles with the tuning dial.
DJ 3000: …AND TODAY’S THEME IS “SEEING THE LIGHT”. WE’RE LOOKING FOR SONGS ABOUT “THE LIGHT” – IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN THE TITLE, IT JUST HAS TO BE A BIG PART OF THE SONG. I’LL GET US STARTED WITH A STANDOUT FROM THE BLUES BROTHERS MOVIE – THOUGHT TO BE HONEST THEY WERE ALL STANDOUTS. ENJOY!
