INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY The PRODUCER is speaking on the phone. He appears to be the only one in the room, but the camera pans over slightly so we see DJ 3000 lurking behind a corner in the hallway. He's out of sight, but clearly within earshot. PRODUCER: ...and it'll be

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY ROGER GOODELL: ...and so I handed him a six-game suspension! Ha ha ha ha! Isn't that hilarious?

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY A harried-looking producer negotiates with two young men. PRODUCER: ...it's not that I don't appreciate both of you turning up, it's just that I don't know if you can both fit in there, to be honest. TEDDY BRIDGEWATER: Nah, we'll make it work. JOSH MCCOWN: It's not like one of

So apparently Kevin Smith (the filmmaker, not the former Lions running back) suffered a pretty serious heart attack on Sunday. He was brought to Glendale Hospital which is a stone's throw away from where I live. It's so close that I even thought about walking the short mile over to

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY We join Request Line in process. The PRODUCER is seated comfortably at the outer console, sipping coffee. He raises a hand and counts down from five before punching a button and pointing at the figure seated inside. KIRK: [runs hand through hair] You like that? Huh? Ha
