[MARK]

December 24th, Nine PM
Eastern Standard Time
From here on in
I shoot without a script
See if anything comes of it
Instead of my old shit
First shot -- Roger
Tuning the Fender guitar
He hasn't played in a year

[ROGER]

This won't tune

[MARK]

So we hear
He's just coming back
From half a year of withdrawal

[ROGER]

Are you talking to me?

[MARK]

Not at all
Are you ready? Hold that focus -- steady
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger ...

[ROGER]

I'm writing one great song --

[MARK]

The phone rings.

[ROGER]

Saved!

[MARK]

We screen
Zoom in on the answering machine!

[An actor places a telephone on a chair and we see]
[MARK'S MOM in a special light.]
