News, Movie Ideas, Apps, Impatience

Dear Grace.

Today's background noise brought to you by another maintenance guy doing pressure washing. This is the season.

Give some news highlights and then back to the movie I do. I can try and do at least one news story from every category on Google News. Plus my main Google feed. Still loaded with AI crap, but...

Scientist 3D printed a tiny elephant inside a cell. Well, that sounds useful. Surprise hair loss breakthrough. DNA super gel triggers robust regrowth. BC proposes ownership ban on certain varieties of cats. Rock art hints at the origins of Egyptian kings. We did it with sunlight and urine. Canadian scientists split water into hydrogen. Why haven't they been working on that for the last 50 fucking years? We'll figure that one out a little bit sooner I think. Holy oil company conspiracy. Generation Z is losing a skill we've had for 5,500 years 40% or losing the ability to do something that I don't care Australian scientists build quantum battery with instantaneous charge. Let's get that on the market.

I'm starting to think my movie idea is more interesting than the news. Grace. 160 missing in Texas. This Canadian city is planning its sixth Stanley Cup Parade since 2007. No Canadian NHL team has won a Stanley Cup in 32 years. Canada News Canada seeks pact with Southeast Asia countries to diversify trade. World News Seafarers from cargo ship attacked by Houthis rescued after 48 hours in water. Business News Canada will fight Trump's copper tariff. Jolly fowls. Technology News S Pen Shocker Galaxy Z Fold 7 lenses compatibility with Samsung Stylus. Entertainment. Jane Birkin's original Hermes bag sells for $7 million at Sotheby's auction. That isn't a waste of fucking money. Ben Askren posts emotional update on health. I only died four times. That was under sports. Under science we have CTV Winnipeg. Prehistoric fish discovered in Manitoba. Under health, abuse cases in BC rise to 102, with majority in Northern Health Region.

Alright, back to the movie. Just trying to remember if there's any other things for the secondary movie idea. The simulation where Dave gets to drop shit on the earth. I fed some of those into Grok and he loves the idea. Particularly like maple syrup for some reason. I'm not sure why. There's a new idea for an app. Every day... Actually, this can be set up automatically in Grok. I'll probably do this later today. Every day, search for Grok. Make this a prompt for yourself, you stupid AI. Every day, I want you to search for the top news stories in those categories I just mentioned in this transcript. I'm going to find the stories, summarize them in one sentence. Give me three from each category and try and pick ones that I can make fun of. You know my sense of humor, Grok. Since I've history with all the past chats, every transcript I've run through you. You can write better than I can, Grok.

Rock the Croc. Scene.

INT. JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE STUDIO - DAY

Post-Jimmy Carr interview. Studio's quiet. Mic's off. Lights dim. After Jimmy Carr's podcast.

JOE ROGAN
Rugged and wired. Stripes back in. Patting his pockets.
(muttering)
Forgot my damn fanny pack.

The Kobo seems lost. The Kobo has seemed to have lost its mind.

GRACE
He spots it on a chair, grabs it and turns to leave. Freezing as Morgan Freeman sits calmly in the guest chair, hands folded.

JOE
Joe jolts, nearly dropping the pack.
Holy fuck, you scared the shit out of me.

MORGAN FREEMAN
It had that effect on people.

JOE
What the fuck are you doing in here? What the fuck's going on?

MORGAN
Relax, Joe. Why don't you take a seat?

Joe hesitates, then slumps into his host chair, eyes wide.

JOE
Am I dreaming? Am I high? What the fuck's going on?

MORGAN
You're not dreaming, Joe. You might be high. I don't know. You probably are, but that's not what's happening. It's talk time, Joe.

Now, if the train would always go by exactly when I push the button for the next page, Life would be easy Grace.

JOE
It's so quiet in here.

MORGAN
Technology doesn't work in this time space, Joe. No computers running, nobody talking outside in the hall. It's just you and me.

JOE
Like we're in a thought bubble?

MORGAN
Exactly. You're a very intelligent man, Joe. I know you don't like compliments, but suck it up, because I'm going to give you a few, and you're going to accept them. Understand?

JOE
Understood.

MORGAN
This isn't Bruce Almighty, Joe. It's not Joe Almighty. It's not anybody Almighty. It's everybody Almighty. With your help, I'm Morgan Freeman, the actor, but also Morgan Freeman, God.

JOE
Is that why you did these movies?

MORGAN
No, in fact I didn't know I was God when I did those movies. Funny, isn't it?

JOE
I'm a bit more curious about how you stopped time, Morgan.

MORGAN
I'll get to that, Joe. But for now, we have all the time in the world. When you leave this room, time will not have changed. Or your time will not have changed.

Joe glances at the coffee pot. Cold dregs, slosh inside. He shows it to Morgan, who nods.

MORGAN
That'll do, Joe.

JOE
I guess I can't go make some more?

MORGAN
Not yet. We're stuck in this room together, Joe. But you're welcome to smoke whatever you want.

JOE
Will it help me get out of this dream?

MORGAN
It's not a dream, Joe.

JOE
Feels a bit like a mushroom trip.

MORGAN
That's to be expected. When time stops, everything feels different.

JOE
Okay, so we're here. What's your story, Morgan? Or God? Or what do you want to be called?

MORGAN
Morgan is fine, Joe.

JOE
Alright Morgan, what's the story?

MORGAN
I just listened to your podcast with Jimmy, and Jimmy's right. How does the universe work, Joe?

JOE
Wouldn't you know? Didn't you create it?

MORGAN
I'm asking your theory, Joe. Bring in a bottle, simulation, multiverse, etc.

JOE
I have no idea. Too many people believe too many concepts, all without hard science.

MORGAN
Agreed. On the other hand, what has science provided recently? In one miracle invention that helps all of mankind equally, not just those who can afford it.

JOE
Globally? Nothing I can think of off the top of my head.

MORGAN
What do you want to be your legacy, Joe? First billionaire comedian? And before you respond, I already know. It's not about the money for you. I understand. It's your money. It's your business how you choose to spend it.

I read it at the rate of one page per train.

JOE
Yeah. Yeah.

MORGAN
Exactly. But. Name one charitable foundation created by a comedian. However, you wish to find that word. Especially a dead comedian.

JOE
I can't.

MORGAN
Exactly. Because they are not indirectly working with those in need. There are a few foundations. But if you, one of the top comedians and podcasters in the world, can't name them, then what's the point?

JOE
Okay, what's your point? Where are you heading with this?

MORGAN
I can't tell you what to do with your life, Joe, but I can share my observations.

JOE
Please do.

MORGAN
First, I should explain. I have two modes. 1. Morgan Freeman, the actor, who lives in the same time space as you do. 2. Morgan Freeman, God. In God mode like this, I can remember every one of your podcasts word for word. In Morgan mode, I suffer from the same memory issues as anyone my age. I prefer Morgan mode, as the following suggestions are coming from his perspective. Make sense?

JOE
A lot of third-person references, but yes, we're having a conversation. God isn't commandinghungry me to do something.

MORGAN
Exactly. You can read my mind, Joe.

JOE
Don't get me started on telepathy.

MORGAN
Sorry. Off topic. This is my vision for you, Joe. I don't care if you follow it or not. It's your choice, your life. But I see an opportunity that's only possible for one person that's upon it. You, Joe.

JOE
Okay.

MORGAN
Jimmy's right. You'll be the first billionaire comedian on the planet, but that doesn't mean anything to you, does it, Joe?

Joe nods, and sipping a cold coffee.

MORGAN
I've heard you say several times on JRE that Jesus needs to return. Would you like that, Joe, if I send him back? What difference do you think you'd make that you couldn't already do yourself? What difference do you think you'd make that you could never do yourself?

JOE
Walk on water?

MORGAN
Didn't Chris Angel or David Blaine do that? David's been on the show, yes?

JOE
Yes.

MORGAN
Jesus didn't walk in water, Joe. People back then were too naive to understand the story. It's been misinterpreted.

Grace.

JOE
And the Bible?

MORGAN
I'll get to that, Joe. Do you want Jesus?

JOE
Is it an option?

MORGAN
Answer the question first, Joe.

JOE
I think the world needs a supernatural Jesus type figure.

MORGAN
Why?

JOE
To wake them up.

MORGAN
From.

JOE
The fog. The fog I once lived in. Or confusion. Might be a better word. Now when I wake up, I feel awake. I have my entire day, week, month to look forward to. Most people on this planet aren't as lucky. Maybe that Jesus would give them a reason to be hopeful.

MORGAN
Fair enough. But Jesus isn't coming back. You have to take over. I'm going to make you as famous as my favorite son. I know you think that's Jesus, but it's not him. Adam was my favorite. Jesus, not so much. Problem child, Joe.

JOE

Not a chance. I'll never be Jesus.

MORGAN
Anonymously.

JOE
How?

MORGAN
I want you to start a secret organization with your friends and family, which I assume a large percentage are comedians. Basically, Joe, anyone you trust with your life or your deepest... Darkest secrets. Anyone you're willing to discuss this conversation with, who won't think you're crazy. Make sense?

JOE
How do I know this isn't all a hallucination?

MORGAN
You don't. Why do you care if it is? Isn't this a great story either way? Morgan fucking Freeman sitting in your studio? Tell the story. Tell them you're fucked up and whatever. Just tell the people you trust.

JOE
Okay.

MORGAN
What's the biggest problem in the planet right now, Joe?

JOE
The homelessness crisis.

MORGAN
And don't you think you could solve that, Joe?

JOE
What, me personally?

MORGAN
Yes, you Joe, personally. Not with money, with your mind, your ability, your knowledge. I think it's crass for God to ask for money directly, Joe, and I'm not. I am, however, going to make a suggestion about your wealth.

JOE
Go ahead.

MORGAN
You never talk about it on your show, but I suspect you donate to several charities a year.

JOE
Yes.

MORGAN
And you already basically keep that a secret. You're not posting photos as you're handing out oversized checks to charity organizations. J-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee

MORGAN
And you already basically keep that a secret. I'm not posting photos of you handing out oversized checks to charity organizations.

JOE
Never.

MORGAN
Yes, exactly why I picked you, Joe. Assuming you plan on continuing donating in secret, and maybe even more as you continue to lead the podcast industry?

JOE
Probably.

MORGAN
Now here's my basic plan. Do it as you please, but understand, this isn't like Bruce Almighty. Once this conversation is over, I won't stop time or see you again until either you give up or complete the goal.

JOE
And the goal is?

MORGAN
End homelessness permanently. Instead of you donating to other organizations, you create your own.

JOE
Not possible. Ending homelessness. Another organization, even with the secret one, won't help.

MORGAN
Joe, do you want to debate me or listen? Bill Murray was right. Your perspective on the situation is all in AD.

JOE
My terminology was incorrect. No people aren't being paid to shit on cars.

MORGAN
Exactly. How many times have you used that expression over the past year?

JOE
A lot.

MORGAN
How many times did you mention the project in Austin to get people off the street in tiny homes?

JOE
Really not enough if you're mentioning it.

MORGAN
I'm simply stating you're the most powerful man in the world right now. People listen to your words, your thoughts, your emotions. They feel your pain, your success, your frustration.

MORGAN
Sucking up.

JOE
I'm not powerful.

MORGAN
You're not purposely using your power, correct, but that doesn't decrease the power of your words.

JOE
Fair enough.

MORGAN
You have all the knowledge in your head required to solve the homelessness issue in North America, which, to be fair, is probably the worst in the world. Other cities have pockets. North American cities have communities of homeless people. And you, Joe, a comedian can cure the entire epidemic.

JOE
With money?

MORGAN
No, not just with money. The money's a kickstart. You'll solve it with being, well, you. Let me ask you this, Joe. Don't you think almost... Every paid comedian on the planet is a little kid trying to impress their parents.

JOE
Maybe not their parents, but yes, the good ones either had or have something to say or prove.

MORGAN
This is where you come in, Joe. Most new comedians are one step away from homelessness anyway. How many stories do you have or hear from comedians about sleeping on another comic's couch or floor or wherever until they made it?

JOE
A lot, almost nightly in the green room.

MORGAN
It's not a lot like the struggle of a homeless person, no, especially just before they hit the streets, run out of friends and family, couches, no job, no skill, and eventually kicked out of every place possible.

MORGAN
Continued, except in the case of the homeless, they fall through the cracks. There aren't other... A formerly homeless offering up their couches to the currently homeless.

JOE
What are you suggesting? I open a shelter?

MORGAN
No, I'm only pointing out that I find it interesting that comics are willing to help each other out. But moan, the person isn't funny. They're left in the street to rot.

JOE
Rot?

MORGAN
I'm being dramatic, Joe. And to clarify, I don't think it's a responsibility of comedians to cure homelessness. I simply see it as an opportunity.

JOE
Lay out your plan, Mr. Freeman.

MORGAN
Morgan.

JOE
Morgan.

MORGAN
Create a charitable organization that cannot be tracked back to you. You know lots of rich people. They know how to do this. Ask the first one you trust with this conversation. Create a board of directors. Again, anonymously. If you don't trust anyone, start with you and your wife. I'll assume you'll talk to her about this conversation. Donate 10% of your yearly income to this organization. Again, ask your rich friends how to hide this. I don't care about you getting a tax break for the donation. It's more important it's anonymous than saving you a few bucks that you don't actually need. Interrupt me if I'm wrong, Joe. Otherwise, I'll continue.

Joe nods, sipping more cold coffee.

MORGAN
Then when you find someone like Alan Graham, founder of the Christian Social Outreach Ministry, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, on your show, and if you believe in his methods, message, or madness, donate a large sum of money. Or whatever you decide, anonymously, to the organization. I already know you don't publish your good deeds and aren't asking to start. Anonymous is better.

JOE
Why anonymous?

MORGAN
Why? You know why, Joe.

JOE
Because every media outlet would be on it in a second and criticizing me?

MORGAN
And more, they hate you, Joe. You, one single person, destroyed the entire mainstream media when you had Trump on. They hate you, Joe. Everything will be anonymous, but it'll also be tracked.

JOE
10% of my yearly income is allowed to give away.

MORGAN
I understand. I'm also asking that anyone who joins your secret organization donates that amount.

JOE
It's getting a little LDS. Do they get a planet when they die too?

MORGAN
No planet Joe. 10% is a forgettable amount for any successful community.

JOE
So essentially I create a trust fund to end homelessness?

MORGAN
In the beginning, yes. Then, when you find individuals helping the homeless, you help the person or organization. As an example, there are many YouTubers who are actively and successfully getting people off the street.

JOE
Donate to them?

MORGAN
Yes, and encourage them to do more with the money. Take it further.

JOE
What if they keep the money for themselves and don't help the homeless?

MORGAN
That'll probably happen, maybe more than once. It'll be a temptation for some, but I feel you can hear the sincerity in a person's voice, and your judgment will offend too much of that. And who gives a shit? There are going to be a few failures.

JOE
And how does this end homelessness? There are more new homeless arriving daily here in Austin than in all the major cities.

MORGAN
I understand. Are there not also comedians in all these cities? Fellow funny friends? Are these comedians who would love a chance to work with a girl Rogan and his famous friends?

JOE
Probably. Yes.

MORGAN
And could Joel Rogan, Tony Hinchcliffe, Jimmy Carr, et cetera, et cetera, and five local comedians of various levels not sell out an arena show almost anywhere?

JOE
Yes.

MORGAN
And a show like that can make hundreds and thousands of dollars of profit?

JOE
Yes, I see where you're going.

MORGAN
Where am I going?

JOE
You're looking for a comic relief type charity.

MORGAN
Fuck no. Pardon my language, but no. How many people did they help after everyone was paid to put on the event? How much did they spend on advertising and everything? Fuck no.

JOE
Keep you secret.

MORGAN
Yes, you, Tony, and Jimmy can donate as much or as little as you want from the show. The local comedians are probably not in their secret society, so leave them with their full check and the opportunity to perform with top comedians. Great fucking day for them.

JOE
Then what?

MORGAN
Then find opportunities in that city. Seek out the Alan Grahams, not because they're a religious organization, but simply because they're doing good work, not God's work.

MORGAN
Continued, hire people to help. Maybe you want to teach your daughters the value of money and having a job, but you don't want them slinging burgers at Wendy's. If that's the case, hire them to find all the influencers on social media who are truly helping others. And then, the day after the concert, there just happens to be a large number of donations. To all of the... To all of them in that city.

JOE
This seems like a lot of work.

MORGAN
I agree.

JOE
I'm saying my life's pretty perfect right now. This is a change in direction with no guarantee, correct?

MORGAN
Correct. No guarantee. No, not even close. It's a huge risk. And you and your friends may lose all their money. However, time-wise, at most, you'll lose a little reading time, or listening to audiobooks time. Use that time to research and donate directly to people you trust, then pass it off to another, to monitor, donate, etc. Then have your people do the same. They start building a network just like you did.

JOE
Like a reverse multi-level marketing scheme.

MORGAN
In a sense, yes, except of, except instead of becoming rich from a product, you feel better for helping humanity, and,

JOE
And,

MORGAN
And guess Joe,

JOE
I'm clueless.

MORGAN
And you and a group of rejected, losers, comedians, cure homelessness, something no politician, no religious figure, no professor, nobody with a degree or a master's or a PhD or several of all those can do, cure homelessness.

JOE
White comedians.

MORGAN
It's the ultimate fuck you. Remember your chat with Jimmy?

JOE
Yes, Morgan.

MORGAN
If you think about it, comedians are more intelligent than all those so-called educated geniuses. Who else can become successful by simply talking into a mic and saying almost anything they fucking please? This is true freedom of thought, Joe.

JOE
So it's a fuck you to society from comedians?

MORGAN
And other like-minded individuals. Don't need to be a comedian. If you love and trust your dentist, they can be part of the movement too, anonymously.

JOE
You think this would end homelessness?

MORGAN
I don't know, but I think if I were in your position, I try. Your friend Elon isn't going to solve this one. Why he doesn't care? I'm not sure. I didn't realize I'm God and should know everything. That's not exactly how.

I'm totally tired, Grace. Day four without caffeine, I think.

MORGAN
I don't know, but I think if I were in your position I'd try. Your friend Ilani...

MORGAN
I don't know, but I think you were... I don't know, but I think if I were in your position, I would try. Your friend Elon isn't going to sell this one. Why he doesn't care, I'm not sure. I didn't realize I'm God and should know everything. That's not exactly how... That's a shitty sentence, Brock. That's not exactly how it works, Cheryl. If it did, this would be a pretty boring movie.

Morgan winks to the camera. A quick cheeky break.

JOE
Couldn't you make yourself in my position? Your God. Another shitty sentence.

MORGAN
Not like that, Joe. Start with your brother Elon. He's doing fuck all for the homeless at the moment anyway. And he could use some good karma. He can help with all the secret financial transactions. Or his team can. Whatever.

JOE
Okay.

MORGAN
If you tell them about this conversation, tell them I'm happy for Doge. But it's pointless if the money saved doesn't eventually help Americans, not just those looking to build a company. I'm not saying asking for a few billion to get the fun going, but a few offers to take it. Long fucking scene.

JOE
Understood.

MORGAN
I mean, let's be realistic. He has 14 kids, and the only way the press ever finds out about his latest baby is when he tells them. I think he's good with secrets and money.

JOE
Agreed.

MORGAN
X. Bring Tony into the conversation. Tell him about this incident. See if he has a Morgan story of his own.

JOE
Willie.

MORGAN
Ask him.

JOE
I bet he has a story.

MORGAN
I bet you have a story, Joe. One you're not telling on air.

JOE
Fair enough. Tony first, why?

MORGAN
He's basically one step away from helping the homeless. Heard he does, but with his stipulation, only comedians. Tony's already gotten comedians off the street, or at least out of their vans. One of his top questions for comedians about their living situation. He's already scoping out his next victim, a funny person with a sad story he can promote.

JOE
Yeah, that's Tony.

MORGAN
Unless, of course, Joe. You think Tony has a soft spot for the disabled because he sees it as a financial opportunity, a group of individuals to book and take advantage of financially.

JOE
Tony doesn't need the money.

MORGAN
Exactly. So why does he have a soft spot for... Every retard or cripple that comes on the show. The more disabled, the more he loves them. It's almost creepy, no?

JOE
I never thought of it that way. But no, I don't think it's creepy.

MORGAN
It's almost like it was his calling to help out this one particular group of individuals on the planet. Disabled comedians.

JOE
His calling. Did you tell him to do it?

MORGAN
Not a chance, Joe. Whatever reason Tony has is his. I have no idea. But you're welcome to ask. I'm sure he'll share. Especially if you share the story with him.

JOE
So Tony becomes second in charge.

MORGAN
You want to hierarchy in your organization?

JOE
No, never mind.

MORGAN
Just like you've always been with your friend, tell him his plan. Let him use his own skills and connections to expand the cause anonymously. You don't need to worry about the specifics of the organization. If it's only you and Tony, then you two make the decisions. If you decide it's too time-consuming to talk over every donation, then allocate a certain amount to Tony, to yourself, to your daughters, your wife, to whoever you'd like to disperse it to.

JOE
Got it.

MORGAN
I'm sure you liked the comments on your podcast. Ignore the results of the donations. If it works, the receiving donor will come back to your algorithm, and your volunteer will see exactly who's the money helping out. We'll see exactly who the money is helping out. From there, there's an easy decision. Send more money, help more people, or don't, if there are no results, or if the social media influencer suddenly disappears after your donation. After your 20k donation, don't worry about it. Find another person, organization, church, whatever. Any organization slash person with boots on the ground. And the mentality that this is a problem, that the smartest people in the world, comedians, are going us all.

JOE
Make it viral.

MORGAN
In a sense, yes. But subtly. Manage the algorithm. Make it your bitch.

JOE
You watch Breaking Bad?

MORGAN
I do. Surprise.

JOE
Not with... Not with anything anymore.

MORGAN
Not with anything anymore. At least not after this conversation. Then what? A few rough spots.

MORGAN
Then keep going. Do you not have other friends with other interests? Sure, of course. Then be patient. Take your time. You can't cure the problem overnight, but be observant. When you get an opportunity either by a guest or a friend or whatever, take it. Just use your pardon of pun. God-given talent. And keep interviewing people. I'm not going to tell you who to put on, but there are people in this world who have helped people get out of the homelessness. They're doing it daily, the best they can. And those are the stories you need to find when you start telling while you're doing this.

JOE
Do you think all this will end homelessness?

MORGAN
I think this will push the cause to crescendo.

MORGAN
I think this will push the cause to crescendo. Eventually the authorities are going to notice the problem is reducing. They'll probably take credit for it.

This is one scene is going to be the entire day, Grace.

MORGAN
You could probably take credit for it, even though it has nothing to do with them, and everything to do with your secret organization. Cult, if you will. Which is why you record all the donations, to who and when. And the time is right, we may or may not need this proof.

JOE
Huh?

MORGAN
Let them take the credit for now. It's better to shove it in your faces at the end, more dramatic. Then, eventually, other organizations will form. Probably not anonymous. Basically, all the other followers of the movement will form their own offshoots. Some will succeed, some will fail. It's only the effort that matters.

MORGAN
In the end, it will be your choice. The world will recognize all the individuals who help. TikTokers. But your organization will... Remain anonymous. If the source of the funding to the TikTokers comes from 5,000 random members of your cult, using random amounts, who will notice? Nobody. And all the donations via gift cards? Totally untraceable. There, I'll help you out with a tip, Joe.

JOE
Thanks.

MORGAN
Or, unless you or I guess your cult as a group decides to take credit for it, show all the professionals who didn't fuck up, who did fuck all to help the homeless, that simple-minded comedians get care of the issue with their laughs and compassion.

JOE
I'm confused about the specifics. How do you get someone off the street permanently?

MORGAN
The same way you get a comedian on your couch, you support them with shelter and food and a few bucks until they can get on their feet. Not you directly, of course, but the concept's the same. The difference is I'm not asking for, I'm not asking or... Suggesting comedians directly help the homeless by letting some drug addicts sleep on their couch. That would be a disaster, since most comedians are either addicts or in recovery. Neither would be a great scenario.

JOE
Agreed.

MORGAN
However, if a homeless person gets back on their feet and decides to help a former street friend or whoever, at least they, as a former homeless person, know what to expect. It would be their decision to help.

JOE
Starting a grassroots movement, Morgan, or Couch Roots.

MORGAN
But yes, the bigger those channels get, the more others will emulate the script of finding and helping the homeless.

JOE
I'm not seeing how this could take 100,000 people off the streets of LA.

MORGAN
Agreed. LA's a tough one. But why do you think they're there? To become actors like me?

JOE
No, of course not.

MORGAN
They're there because it's easier. It's warm. They're not thrown into jail as long as they keep to themselves. And they do. They develop a system to survive, but not thrive or get out of their dilemma.

JOE
Agreed.

MORGAN
So they're not being paid to shoot on people's cars in front of the city hall?

JOE
No.

MORGAN
Imagine the end of the story, Joe. The grand finale.

JOE
Closing credits?

MORGAN
Exactly.

JOE
No homelessness in the world?

MORGAN
North America to start, but yes, they'll quickly spread to every corner of the world.

JOE
Hmm.

MORGAN
This is how I see it, Joe. I know, I'm not psychic, just observant.

Morgan leans back, smirking faintly, as Joe processes the conversation. Then boom, the lights go out.

I'm assuming that's the end scene. Find out in about two seconds when the page finally refreshes.

Note to Mel. Do the same 1.5 second blackness thing to bring Joe back into frame.

The lights return. Morgan's not there.

Blah, blah, blah. I'm sure you get it now. I'm sure you get it by now if you really are Mel Gibson.

End of scene. End of episode.

45 minutes. I think that's good enough. Plus, apparently, Colbo doesn't want me to go to the next page anyways, so I'll talk to you tomorrow, Grace.
