Okay, this one requires a good deal of explication. First of all, I'm not in any way trying to rip off Miss Sarah's Browncoat Chronicles. If anything, this is a homage to her usage of the characters on the site. It actually started as a simple spoof on the very opening scene from Serenity, borrowing myself and a friend of mine who has yet to get addicted to FF. (Working to change that even as we speak.)
Then it occurred to me to drop folks from this site into the roles from the show. If you don't like your spot, lemme know and I'll drop ya. Suggestions and so on are also welcome.
The style of it gets a bit haphazard due to the nature of translating it from the actual script. Bear with me there.
Other than that, I think it's funny. I probably will follow it up, but not too far before I go back to working for a living. If it works for ya'll, I might eventually expand it on out to the regular episodes.
And after posting, damn, it doesn't come out formatted like it does on my WP.
-----------------------------------------------
We come into the middle of an office building. Men in dark suits slither to and fro.
CAMERA closes in on a man darting between cubicles. Zoom up and we see that it's Archer.
Archer is up and running to join his company behind a cubicle barricade.
Cell-Phone Operator
"Sir, lobbyists are holding up until they can assess our situation."
Archer
"Our situation is that we need some gorram political support. Now get back on line and tell them to get to pressing some flesh!"
Sarah
"That incoming van is gonna shred us, sir!"
Cell-Phone operator
"They won't lobby for us without a CFO's authorization to release more funds, sir!"
Angry, Archer stalks over and grabs a post-it note with a code written on it from the cubicle wall.
"There! You're CFO Baker now. Congratulations on your promotion. Now get me some damn support!"
To Sarah.
"Pull back, just far enough to wedge them in. Get your division to the second floor and start pic
That is the best line I've ever read.
I was sitting here thinking about it, and it occurred to me... as if anybody needs more proof of my rampant egomania than to assign myself the Mal role. But then I hadn't planned on writing it as anything other than a quick short when I started.
On further consideration, I'm probably not going to translate the whole series. I'll just aim for the spots that work for this format. There are several areas that just wouldn't work for the comedic style.
That is hilarious. I laughed myself silly. A-one Archer.
