MARK
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger

ROGER
I'm writing one great song --

MARK
The phone rings.

ROGER
Yesss!

MARK
We screen.

ROGER & MARK'S ANSWERING MACHINE
"Speak" ... ("Beeeep!")

COLLINS

MARK
Hey!

COLLINS
Roger picked up the phone??

MARK

COLLINS

MARK

BENNY

MARK & ROGER
Benny! s___.

BENNY
Dudes, I'm on my way

MARK & ROGER

BENNY
I need the rent

MARK

BENNY

BENNY
She's got a new man?

MARK

BENNY

BENNY
