Pauly Shore Is Dead Page #2

Synopsis: Hollywood comedian/actor Pauly Shore loses everything: his house, nobody in Hollywood wants to represent him, he moves back home with his mom and is now parking cars at the Comedy Store. Then one night when he's up in his mom's loft, a dead famous comedian appears who tells Pauly to kill himself cause he'll go down as a comedic genius who died before his time. Pauly then fakes his own death, and the media goes crazy. Celebrities are talking about him on MTV and girls are fighting over him on Jerry Springer. It's everything that he wanted...his plan worked. A week or so later the LAPD is tipped off about his whereabouts and they break down the door of the seedy motel room that he's hiding out in and throw him in LA County's celebrity wing.

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.

- Bye.|- [ Phone Beeps ]

Hey, guys.

Pauly fired us.

He finally 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. '"

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ 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.
