Pauly Shore Is Dead Page #2
I was standin' outside the elephant|compound at the f***in' zoo.
- Yeah.!|- [ sighs ]
I can't believe the network didn't pull it|after the first commercial break.
[ Gags ] I swear-- I swear I'm gonna puke.|You got some Tums or something?
I only have a few minutes left.|I'll meet you guys at the club.
We'll tell the doorman|you're coming.
- Don't be late.|- I won't.
I thought Pauly's show|was funny.
Oh, yeah. It was, um--|It was hysterical.
- Yeah.|- so, what's your name?
- Ashley. What's yours?|- Tom.
You're that creepy guy|from all those movies, huh?
- No. That's Michael Madsen.|- Oh.
so, uh,|how you gettin' home?
- My mom's picking me up.|- Your mom.
- Hmm. How about I take you home?|- Mm.
I don't know.
Come on.|I'll huff...
and I'll puff...
- and I'll-- [ Kissing ]|- Okay.
- God, that's lame.|- Yeah, of course I want my usual table.
What the hell is wrong with you peop--|Just hold it a sec.
Pauly, I gotta tell ya, that is the funniest|sitcom I have ever produced.
No, it'll run a decade.|Ten years easy.
I'll call you in the morning|when I find out what the ratings are.
Mitch. Mitch, wait.
I just wanna say|thanks for everything.
Listen, Pauly, everything we've worked|so hard at in the last eight years...
- is comin' together just as planned, buddy.|- Yeah. [ Chuckles ]
stinky, bud-dy. I know.
stinky piece of sh*t, bud-dy.
Goin' down the toilet, bud-dy.|The f*** that guy does.
I'll tell you what he does.
He exists.|He lives.
He could be incinerated by the heat|from a thousand suns--
it would be too good.
The second somebody put a f***in'|microphone in his hand, and they said...
''Hey, it's okay to talk,'' that's|when the f***in' trouble began.
If my mommy owned a comedy club,|I'd be on f***in' top, too, motherf***er.
- [ Pauly ] Trevorina,you're the|architect to the stars, right?|- [ Woman ] Absolutely.
How long do these sitcoms|keep you workin' for?
What is it--|five, 1 0, 1 5 years?
- [ Phone Ringing ]|- How many episodes did the network order?
- six.|- [ Phone Continues Ringing ]
Wait. What are you doing?|Give me back my pen.
- six episodes?|-Just to start with. They're|gonna order more episodes.
- It's your manager.|- Hey. Hey, Mitch.
Pauly, you are not|gonna believe this.
- Are you sittin' down?|- Yeah.
- It was the lowest-rated show in Fox history.|- What?
Yeah. It didn't even|break the top 1 00.
What about people|in the middle of the country?
I don't know. They're pinheads.|I guess they're watchin' Springer reruns.
That's okay, that's okay.|'Cause it's the pilot episode.
It took seinfeld|a year to catch on.
Pauly, uh, brace yourself.|Are you braced?
- Yeah, I'm braced.|- They canceled your sitcom.
''Canceled''?
-Just like that?|- Hey, come on. Did you read the reviews?
- You told me not to.|- Entertainment Monthly gave it an ''F.''
They said, and I quote,|''sucks worse than gravity.''
So they're not even|gonna air episode two?
You've been preempted|by When Animals Attack.
- I could be attacked by animals.|- Hold it, Pauly.
I got another call.|I gotta take it.
- Maybe it's the network. I'll hold.|- As a matter of fact, it is.
- I got another show in the works with them.|- starring who?
I don't know.|It's my production deal.
How'd you get|your own production deal?
Well, you know, by, uh,|producing your show.
Look, Pauly,|I'll tell you what.
This afternoon,|I got some time, I'll call MTV.
I'll see if I can|get you back on.
Look, that's the last thing I'm gonna do|is go crawlin' back to MTV, okay?
- Gotta go.|- Don't you hang up on me!
-[ Dial Tone ]|-[ Pauly, Screaming ] Fuuuuck.!
[ David ] Listen, why don't we take|a drive to Santa Barbara...
grab some lunch,|clear the mind.
You might be a little shook up|by the news of the sitcom.
David, it has nothing|to do with the show, okay?
I just-- I just need to surround myself|with a new team. That's all.
David?
I'm just a little choked-up.
- Pauly, are you sure you don't wanna rethink this?|- I already have.
Okay, then.|Good luck.
Hey, guys.
Pauly fired us.
Yeah! Yeah!
- [ All Cheering ]|- Pauly fired us!
Yeah! Yeah!
Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Whoo!|[ Laughing ]
[ screaming ]
F***!|[ Groaning ]
Watch my head.
Oh, sh*t!
Yeah, well, f*** MTV!
You guys are the only reason why things|are f***ed up for me now anyways.
[ Groans ]|I gotta go to VH1 .
[ Moans ]
[ Pauly Narrating ] So, with|the failed sitcom and no representation...
I wound up where all the other|out-of-work actors wind up in L.A.--
the Coffee Bean.
Or I like to call it--|the Unemployment Bean.
Or in my case,|the ''Has-Bean. '"
[ Zoey Chattering ]
[ Man ] Yes, sir.|That's good too.
- I like this one. It shows your--|- Zoey?
Zoey.
Booger.|What happened?
Forget what happened to me.|What the hell's goin' on here?
A couple of days ago,|I met sal Goldstein at the car wash...
and he's helping me pick out|the right head shot.
I'm also testing for Playboy.|Sal knows Hef.
I don't really know him.|I have a friend who knows someone...
who's been up to the mansion|a couple of times, and he met him once.
- Mm-hmm.|- What's your friend's name?
sal. Nice to meet you.|What's up, bud-dy?
[ Forced Chuckle ] Look, sweetie,|let's just get outta here.
Not now.|I'm in a business meeting.
- But I need you.|- We'll see each other later.
I'm sorry.
F***!
Hey. Pau--|Pauly Shore.
- Pauly.|- F***. What? What?
Um, I know-- This must|bother you people.
I don't mean to bother|you or anything, but--
I'm from Florida.|I'm in a band called Limp Bizkit.
Yeah? Yeah, what?
I was just thinkin',|I got a demo, and maybe--
What happened|to your face, man?
so, what do you want me to do|with your f***in' demo? What?
If you like it, maybe listen to it|and pass it on to the people at MTV.
Is that what you thought? What do I have,|a f***in' sign on my neck that says ''Loser.
I got nothin' goin' on.|My time is yours.'' Huh?
- Well, I--|- In fact-- What's your name?
- Fred.|- Fred, that's a really good name for a rock star.
What is it,|f***in' Fred Flintsone?
- Nah. Uh-- Limp Bizkit.|- Limp Bizkit. Yeah, you guys|are really gonna go far.
What does that mean--|shriveled-up dick?
Huh?
You know, man,|you're a dick.
We're gonna blow up|one of these days, bro...
and I ain't never|puttin' you in a video!
Weasel-ass! Punk-ass!
Who the f***--|F*** you!
F***in' f*ggot.
- [ Crickets Chirping ]|- [ Dog Howling ]
[ Man On TV]|I believe he's upset.
Pauly is supposed to follow|Married... with Children.
- It says so right here.|- I know that, Bucky.
Then what's|this submoronic crap?
[ Man On TV]|I don't think he's happy.
Them goddamn|Hollywood know-it-alls.
Them numb-nuts wouldn't know|comic genius if it bit 'em in the ass.
When Animals Attack.|Hell, who wants to watch that sh*t?
If I wanted to watch that,|I'd throw a pork chop in the yard...
and watch the dogs go at it.
