Yellow Car

CAM: I've recently started reading Kelly Oxford's blog and she can be quite funny at times. She writes in dialogue/script on occasion. Mostly involving her hilarious kids. This past Friday, she shared this little gem, so I thought I'd post it here. All credit to her, I didn't write any of it; I just copy/pasta'd.

KELLY: Ok. You guys, the yellow car that we are going to pass in 3 blocks does not count anymore. It's always parked there and you've called it too many times.

HENRY: *age 8* What?!

KELLY: You've called it too much, you both know it's there. I don't want a screaming match for a 'point' over that car.... I'm hereby determining it NULL. No points for the yellow car coming up.

SAL: *age 10* YELLOW CAR!!

HENRY: Where?

KELLY: SAL I TOLD YOU THIS ONE DOESN'T COUNT!!!

HENRY: YELLOW CAR!!!

KELLY: Henry, Sal just called it and I told you that you can't call that car! It's NULL!

HENRY: She couldn't even call it back there! She couldn't see it!

SAL: Yes I could!

KELLY: Yeah, she could totally see it and this is EXACTLY why I determined the car to be NULL.

HENRY AND SAL: I GET THE POINT!!!

KELLY: *stops the car* Both of you get out and walk home. You both are BACK TO ZERO POINTS IN YOUR YELLOW CAR GAME! Get out, walk.

SAL: Ok.

HENRY AND SAL: *start getting out of the car*

KELLY: GET BACK IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW!!!! *starts driving* If you guys got abducted what would I tell the police?? "Oh, yeah Officer, I kicked them out of the car because of the Yellow Car Game. You know, it was annoying." NO WAY! I am not gonna become the bad guy here, not now, not on my watch!!!!

SAL: You're insane.

HENRY: YELLOW CAR!

SAL: ARRRRGH!!

CAM: After reading the story about the fake Apple stores in China, my co-worker joked about buying a support contract through them. So I came up with this.

ANDREW: *calls Fake Apple Store*

EMPLOYEE: Herrow, Panda Express. Take order prease!

ANDREW: Hi, is this the Apple Store?

EMPLOYEE: Oh, one moment. *pause* Herrow, Apple Store, take order prease.

ANDREW: Um... hi, we’re looking to renew our support contract with you guys.

EMPLOYEE: Uh huh...

ANDREW: Because our Mac Pros... you know, what was with the Panda Express thing?

EMPLOYEE: No, this no Panda Express. This Apple Store. Take order PREASE!

ANDREW: This doesn’t seem legit.

EMPLOYEE: TAKE ORDER PREASE! PREASE!

ANDREW: I just want to renew our support contract.

EMPLOYEE: You want two item or three item... ack, no, I mean. Apple Support, yes. We have lots of that one.

ANDREW: Oh, great. Okay, we have 14 Macs that we’ll need contracts for.

EMPLOYEE: Uh huh...

ANDREW: Three running ProTools, and the rest have Final Cut Pro.

EMPLOYEE: Okay. You want fried rice or chow mein... ack, no! Finar Cut!

ANDREW: Forget it. I'm going to call the Apple Store in Mongolia.

The Keeper of the Badges

CAM: *gets in line with Andrew to get new security badge*

BADGE EMPLOYEE: *looks like he plays WoW a lot... while eating lots of lard-dipped pork rinds*

GUY: Hello. I need a new card.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: May I ask the reason?

GUY: The RAS chip is broken.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Ah, I see. Do you keep it in your wallet?

GUY: Yes.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Well, that's why. We recommend placing it in one of these hard shields.

GUY: Oh, okay. I will buy one of those.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Very good. Would you like to use the same picture?

GUY: Yes, please. I actually kind of like that one because I look younger.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Guess how old I am?

GUY: Um... oh, I wouldn't begin to know...

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Just guess.

GUY: I don't know. 35? 37?

BADGE EMPLOYEE: 42.

GUY: Oh, wow!

CAM: *would have guessed 52*

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Yep. The answer to it all, or everything. No. The answer to life, the universe, and all of it.

GUY: Oh, right.

CAM: Wrong.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: From that Hitchiker's Book.

GUY: Yeah.

CAM: So wrong.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: It's actually not a bad little movie. It had Marvin Freeman play the robot.

CAM: *facepalms*

BADGE EMPLOYEE: And the girl who plays Trillian was good. She was that girl in Get Smart.

GUY: Right.

CAM: OMG, idiots.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Alright, there you go. *hands over badge*

GUY: Thank you.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Greetings.

ANDREW: Hello. I need a new badge because my name has rubbed off on this one.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Do you keep it in your wallet?

ANDREW: Sometimes. I usually hang it from my belt.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Well, it's probably because you put it in your wallet. We recommend placing it in one of these hard shields.

ANDREW: Alright, I will.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: ...

ANDREW: Well, you're the keeper of the badges, aren't you?

BADGE EMPLOYEE: That's me. The badge master.

ANDREW: *looks back at Cam*

CAM: Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh...

BADGE EMPLOYEE: And there you go. You're new badge.

ANDREW: Thank you.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: You're welcome.

CAM: Hello.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Go Mariners.

CAM: Um... yes. I need a new card.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: I actually like the Seahawks more.

CAM: They're entirely different sports teams. Oh.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: But they're not having a great season.

CAM: Well, at least they're doing better than the Cowboys. *looks back at Andrew*

ANDREW: >=|

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Indeed. May I ask where you keep your badge?

CAM: Well, I used to keep it in my wallet, but ever since I got this awesome badge shield thing, I-...

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Well, it's probably messed up because you put it in your wallet. We recommend placing it in one of these hard shields.

CAM: Yep, that's why I got this. *holds up badge shield*

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Hard. Shields.

CAM: 'Kay.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Would you like to use the same picture?

CAM: Yes, please.

BADGE EMPLOYEE: Very well. There you go. *hands over badge*

CAM: Thanks.
