The establishment vs Uber

[Hammerskjold]

There was something about cabs and innovation in here at one point. But hey, why bother talking about that, when we can talk about the world's most fascinating topic: How Marxist FIT is! We certainly haven't had any of those threads before.

Fine then. A brief scene depicting a day in the life of a brilliant young political scientist, named Carl. Stuck in the hell that is commuting. It does not happen inside a taxi, it happens in a far worse place.

Cast of characters:

-Carl, a unique snowflake character, average height. Camera should always be focused on him.

-Mom, disembodied voice only.

- Caitlyn, sibling, toddler sized, should only be in 1/8 of the frame at most, and always out of focus.


Concept art for establishing shot:



BG noise: Music playing from IPod earbud, vol to 11, band called "Slipknot" is playing in Carl's ears.

(Note from legal: Do -not- mention "Slipknot" again, we could not secure the rights currently, legal dept and the producers are meeting right now to cast a soundalike band.)

Close up focus on ear, shown with multiple piercing and ear gauge. Ear gauge shows crudely hand painted symbol of a hammer and sickle, but looks more like Arm&Hammer baking soda logo.


Mom: "Charley? Are you ok back there? Do you want some graham crackers?"

Carl: "NO MOM! And my name is Carl now! Charley is a bourgeois name!"

Mom: " That's great Charles, if you don't want any then give some of the snacks to Caitlyn."

Carl: "....so oppressive!!1111"

Mom: "What's that dear?"

Carl: "Nothing!111....mutter mutter *God!* mutter mutter"

Mom: "You really should be careful with those IPod things you know Charles. I heard on NPR young people in America under the age of 20, have more damaged hearing compared to a 70 year old rural African. They say it's because of those things you put in your ears."

Carl: "NPR is bourgeois Mom, they're totally statist, no better than Faux Nooz!"

Mom: "Oh that's my little Charles, you're always so revolutionary. Even your kindergarten teacher said so."

Carl: "It's Carl, now, mom!"

Mom: "Ok sure dear. Oh make sure Caitlyn's booster seat is on properly will you Charley."

Carl: "....(grumble mutter noises) soo...oppressive!"
