Hah, thanks Kevin! I think the last line if LC #6 had said it would
be "just keep 'em coming." :P
FADE IN, TO A SCENE IN A MID-1860s SALOON, A GROUP OF VARIOUS-AGED, BUT
ALL WEATHERED LOOPING COWBOYS (LCs). THE MUSIC HEARD IS A BADLY-SHIPPED
PIANO, AND REPEATS A PATTERN OF NOTES ABOUT 64 BEATS IN LENGTH. ONE OF
THE LCs GETS UP QUIETLY, AND TURNS TO GO FOR THE SWINGING DOORS. HE
TURNS JUST BEFORE THE DOOR AND SAYS:
DEPARTING LOOPING COWBOY (DLC): Unsusribbe.
LOOPING COWBOYS STILL SEATED ALL LOOK UP, WITH A COMMON BUT BIZARRE
MIXTURE OF ANNOYANCE AND TOLERANCE ON THEIR FACES.
LC #1: Yeah, and he thinks it's that easy...
LC #2: Thinks he can leave just by tellin' us all
goodbye.
LOOPING COWBOYS SNICKER AND MUTTER, SOME LINES STICKING OUT FROM THE
DIN.
LC #3: Here we go again!
LC #4: Ah, BeJesuz...
LC #5 (to LC #4): It doesn't change, does it?
LC #4: Tch! (DRAWS ON HIS BEER, AND SMILES
KNOWINGLY)
WHILE ALL THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING A LEANER AND MORE IRRITATED-LOOKING LC
#6 CIRCLES ROUND FROM HIS TABLE UNTIL HE STANDS BEHIND DLC.
DLC: What? "Unsusribbe!" What more do you
want? (HE SWEATS A BIT IN CLOSE-UP OF JUST THE UPPER LIP TO THE TEMPLES,
EYES TWITCHING BACK AND FORTH IN SEARCH OF AN ATTACKING FORCE)
LC #6 GRIMACES AS IF TO STRIKE, BUT INSTEAD POINTS AT A SIGN ON THE WALL
IN BACK OF HIM, AND THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HIS FINGER'S DIRECTION, AND ZOOMS IN TO
THE SIGN WHICH READS "IF YOU WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE NORMAL LIST, SEND
MESSAGE SUBJECT "unsubscribe" TO:
Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com
THE CAMERA PANS SLIGHTLY DOWN TO REVEAL THE LINE "THIS INFORMATION IS
AVAILABLE OTHERWISE AT http://www.loopers-delight.com/list/LoopList.html FOR
YOUR KIND PERUSAL."
DLC's EYES CHANGE FROM A LOOK ANGER TO A LOOK OF FOOLISH
SELF-AWARENESS. HE IS STILL SWEATING.
DLC: Oh.
DLC WALKS OUT OF SWINGING DOORS AND OUT OF VIEW. HIS VOICE IS HEARD
OUTSIDE:
DLC: unsubscribe
A FLASH OF BLUE LIGHT OCCURS WHERE HE WAS BEHIND SET. THE LOOPING
COWBOYS ALL LOOK BRIEFLY IN THE FLASH'S DIRECTION, THEN RETURN TO THE THINGS
THEY WERE ORIGINALLY CONCENTRATING ON BEFORE DLC ENTERED.
BARTENDER to LC #6: Whisky?
FADE OUT.
