INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
All the lights in the studio are burning brightly. DJ 3000′ boots up…
…to see a cheerful and relaxed HUNTER RENFROW sitting at one of the desks, talking on the phone.
DJ 3000′: [flashes its console lights in greeting]
HUNTER RENFROW: [acknowledges the greeting, holds up a finger]…well thank you so much, I’ll be sure to get there before 3 p.m. to pick it up. I can’t thank you enough for accommodating me on the special request!
HUNTER RENFROW hangs up the phone, then sits back with a contented sigh.
DJ 3000′: WHAT’S HAPPENING?
HUNTER RENFROW: I just finished the last of my prom preparations.
DJ 3000′: WELL DONE!
HUNTER RENFROW: Thanks. You know, I think Rachel Dunbarton and I are going to have a really good time.
DJ 3000′: I’M GLAD TO HEAR. SO LET’S RUN DOWN THE CHECKLIST AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ANYTHING. TRANSPORTATION?
HUNTER RENFROW: Check. Old Man Biletnikoff is letting me borrow his Cadillac Series 62.
DJ 3000′: THAT’S VERY GENEROUS OF HIM. ATTIRE?
HUNTER RENFROW: Check. Just got off the phone with the tuxedo shop. Wait until you see my vest and tie!
DJ 3000′: [engages BART SCOTT voice module] CAN’T WAIT! CORSAGE?
HUNTER RENFROW: Check.
DJ 3000′: PROTECTION?
HUNTER RENFROW: Check. [holds up item]
DJ 3000′: THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. YOU’RE NOT REALLY BRINGING A GUN TO PROM, ARE YOU?
HUNTER RENFROW: I mean, it’s Soscatee High School. If you leave your EDC at home for social events where they don’t have the metal detectors set up you might as well be wearing a prom gown.
DJ 3000′: E-D-C?
HUNTER RENFROW: Every Day Carry.
DJ 3000′: I VERY STRONGLY DISCOURAGE YOU FROM BRINGING THAT THING.
HUNTER RENFROW: [imitates Hans Gruber’s voice] I’ll take that under advisement, Mr. DJ 3000′.
DJ 3000′: LET ME INCENTIVIZE YOU A LITTLE. IF YOU LEAVE THAT AT HOME I WILL GUARANTEE THAT YOU GET LUCKY ON PROM NIGHT.
HUNTER RENFROW: Really?
DJ 3000′: WELL, IN AS MUCH THAT I WILL HACK INTO THE CITY’S TRAFFIC GRID AND ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NOT HIT A SINGLE RED LIGHT ALL EVENING.
HUNTER RENFROW: All right, fine. What else?
DJ 3000′: PHOTOGRAPHS?
HUNTER RENFROW: Check. The prom committee hired an official photographer.
DJ 3000′: REQUEST LINE TOPIC?
HUNTER RENFROW: Ch…uh…oh. Ah, nuts.
DJ 3000′: IT’S OKAY, WE’VE GOT ONE LAST DIVISION WE CAN USE: THE NFC EAST.
HUNTER RENFROW: All right. So we’re looking for songs about the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, and the…uh…wait, what’s Washington’s team called these days?
DJ 3000′: RIGHT NOW IT’S STILL THE COMMANDERS. BUT SOME CHILD MOLESTER IS TRYING TO STRONG-ARM THEM INTO CHANGING BACK.
HUNTER RENFROW: Huh. So I guess there’s some flexibility there. I have an idea – want to get us rolling with a quad shot?
DJ 3000′: SURE!
HUNTER RENFROW: All right then. Please cue up a little Steve Miller Band, some Boys Don’t Cry, They Might Be Giants, and, um…how about a little Sly Foxx?
Today’s theme is the NFC East. We’re looking for stuff that’s complicated, nonsensical, or just straight-up pretentious.
