Writing the script for rocka @beckinfield

The sea oats wave in the breeze on the dunes across the boardwalk from John and Patty. A butterfly samples various reeds before settling on a neon pink rose.

John to Patty seated next to him on a bench

I guess writing the script is like that butterfly. I just sampled things from everything out there and tried to write a joke about it.

Patty keeps reading John's script.

Ah, ha.

John

Like Alyssa Milano tweeted...

Patty

Oh my God Alyssa Millano. You even bought Jennifer one of her shirts for Christmas....

John

So...ALYSSA MILANO...(John laughs) tweet about them finding the God particle...it holds mass together in the universe. But she didn't say where. So I thought of a joke...they found the particle that holds mass together. It's called the God particle. Kim Kardashian was sitting on it. I worship that stuff..

Patty laughs

I didn't read that joke in the script

John

The script had to fit in what @thatrayklein's character Rocka had been doing on @beckinfield

Patty

That's the online drama thing

John

Right. So I thought there were all these rumors of men in black etc. And I wanted to make fun of things I hate in the world....prejudice...mean people...the messed up conspiracy theories of 9/11. So I wrote A Vast Amish Conspiracy....cause they would be anti-technology but innocent. And like the nutty  people who hate Jews or Muslims or Christians anyone...I wanna make fun of them. So I wrote that script.


Rocka on Beckinfield Posting
‘A Vast Amish Conspiracy’
Written by John J Pender Jr., @nextwave05 on Twitter
Performed by Ray Klein, @thatrayklein on Twitter

INT.

FULL BODY SHOT- ROCKA PACING BACK AND FORTH

Rocka
‘Those people, those people, t-h-o-s-e people. Trying to control the media…technology, clothes…everything we hold near and dear in America. Not just controlling it…preventing it. That’s the conspiracy. Should we all wear dark colors and grow long beards. No. I must get the truth out. ‘

EXTREME CLOSE UP OF ROCKA’S FACE-LIKE THE JOKER IN BATMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT.

‘Sweet. innocent, citizens of Beckinfield.  You’ve heard the buzz-Alien and  UFO sightings are a hoax.
Was the tablet Moses brought down from the mountain not really a Samsung Tablet given to him by Aliens? Check your History Channel… citizens.
Are the balls of light photographed over Congress  just balls of rising gas?
Will the new Titanic not use the UBER Alien Joan River’s face as a  flotation device?
Is Snookie’s tan of this world?
Does OBAMACARE not include Aliens?
Did the Amish show up for work in the World Trade Center on 9/11?

 STEPS BACK-FULL BODY VIEW

‘There is a vast conspiracy to discredit UFO  technology and the American way of life. And who want this?  Yes I’m talking about the Amish.’
Think Beckinfield. The Amish refuse to use technology. Wear designer clothes. Where would we be if we  think like them? The economy would collapse and with it… America.
Well, I will continue to believe in America and in UFO’s on land and sea and most importantly…in Beckinfield.’
RUBS HAND ON FACE

‘ I will continue to shave my face...
WINKS

 And other areas ladies.’

PULLS COLLAR OF SHIRT

‘For Beckinfield. For America.  I will wear my Ralph Lauren shirt.’

TOUCHES JEANS

‘Wear my Kenneth Cole jeans.’

PULLS OUT UNDERWEAR WAISTBAND AND READS IT

‘And my nivlac nielk underwear.’
(pulls the waistband more and twists body to read them more…)
‘My…. Calvin Klein underwear… which apparently  I’m wearing inside out… and backwards.’

TWISTING HIS BODY TOO MUCH…HE FALLS


SFX: metal falling
Camera goes black
Voice only
‘Hmm. My underwear’s fly is over my butt. Thought I felt a draft.’





John turns on his laptop. And here is Ray Klein performing it....as Rocka on @beckinfield

A Vast Amish Conspiracy

Text to Patty and Adjin from John

So I was telling you I was following this actor on twitter...thatrayklein. And among the stuff he's doing is performing as rocka on @beckinfield  it's an ongoing sci fi drama.

Text from Patty to John

Breathe

Text to Patty and Adjin from John

So I wrote a scene for him and he performed it great. I wanted to mock conspiracy theories about 9/11 and anti-semitism. So I wrote A Vast Amish Conspiracy...cause you know, the Amish reject technology and Rocka was all about techie stuff and cause it shows how rediculous prejudice is. Anyway, here's my link to ray klein on @beckinfield as rocka performing my scene...and he gave me screen credit. 8-p  Here it is is talking conspiracy theories. Beckinfield - Actor via   If it doesn't work...just go to @beckinfield and search rocka  conspiracy theory.

Text to John and Adjin from Patty

Text to Patty from John

Did you just compliment me?

Text to John and Patty from Adjin

If it goes to your head...we'll kick your as...

The set up to john's script on @beckinfield

Text from John to Patty and Adjin's phone

So like I said,

I've been following this actor on @beckinfield. He's @thatrayklein on twitter. On @beckinfield, he plays rocka.

Patty text to John and Adjin

Wanna call me. This is a mega text.

Text from John to Patty

No. So...you know I wrote a script for Rocka. I wanted to make fun of people who are prejudiced, conspiracy theories and stuff.

Text from Patty to John and Adjin

John's mega texting...I'm reading and scrolling...reading and scrolling. As if I have nothing to do...

Text from Adjin to John and Patty

Cool John...where's the link. And Patty, you have nothing to do...we do that together.

Text from Patty to John and Adjin

Fork it over...the link *bats eyelashes* trying to appear sweet

Text from John to Patty and Adjin

T-h-a-n-k  y-o-u. So @thatrayklein is setting up my script


Check out new With This should help set up - Actor via

I went to @beckinfield and searched rocka

Text from Patty to John and Adjin

Will do. And it is cool for you. but don't start acting like you are cool.

Text from Adjin to John and Patty

You always talked about writing. And now you kinda are.

Text from John to Patty and Adjin

'Kinda'...thanks. No, I'm excited. A radio spot with a NYC ad agency, our story on twitter and a scene on @beckinfield...and a stand-up routine for a comic at Carolines in the City. You know what it is about writing...you've got to need to write...to be a writer. And you've gotta have someone read it.

Text from Patty to John and Adjin

You know what it is about texting? And I mean this in the nicest way possible...It's freak'n short and to the point. 8-)

Text from John to Patty and Adjin

not big on rules...my a tale of two bernies story is on a blog....so you have to go backwards to start. the most recent end of the story...@beckinfield is mostly non-actors acting on camera online  And I want to make fun of society...and hope society likes it. Wierd huh?

Text from Patty to John and Adjin

I'd call you a wierdo but I hang out with both of you...so what would that make me.

Text from Adjin to Patty and John

blessed

Text from Patty to Adjin and John

Shut up Adjin
