Sylvio Page #2

---

Was it a little too late

He got the message she

left on his car in the rain

And then the words, they come to you

Drive him away

You just can't let it go

And when it all comes crashing down

What can you do

Find what you're looking for

And then the words, they'll come to you

Driving through the rain

But there'll be no one

there to say them to anyway

I love you baby

- Well, what a lot of

people don't understand

is that Sylvio is not

just some wild animal.

He's actually a really

sensitive and talented artist.

- I don't know about that.

As far as I can tell,

all he does is destroy

every darn thing he sees.

Talented?

You're not serious.

The brattleboro is flooding

For every day

Brattleboro is flooding

In every way

Better find a new best friend

You better find a new best friend

Brattleboro is flooding

And so am I

They're never gonna find

your baby even if they try

You better find a new best friend

You better find a new best friend

When all the late papers come in

And when they tell me it's not my fault

When both of our lives start humming

You know I think I pay my weight in salt

Just to have her be the same again

Yeah it'll never be the same again

You're never gonna mount

that hard drive anymore

You're never gonna mount

that hard drive anymore

No worries, we've got you covered.

We've got flush mounts,

sconces, orbs, orbs, orbs,

15% off, and of course, chandeliers!

For all your lighting needs,

come on down to Charlotte's Chandeliers!

- So, that's the commercial spot

we want to air during your show,

and here is the rate we we can offer you

for the one month trial period.

- Yeah, works for us.

Oh yeah, on one condition.

Today's show is brought to you

by Charlotte's Chandeliers.

The best lights in the biz.

Shop Charlotte's and keep the light on.

Live from Clover Crest,

it's The Afternoon Show with Al Reynolds,

starring Al Reynolds.

And now ladies and gentlemen,

your host, Al Reynolds.

- Hi and welcome to The Afternoon Show.

If you're new to the show,

you've come to the right place.

We're happy to have you.

The ape will be on soon to do his thing,

but first let's check the news.

This is interesting.

The mayor of Albuquerque has...

- Open the door sir.

I can hear you inside.

I have an urgent matter

to discuss with you.

Allen, open the door.

You face tremendous consequences

if you don't respond.

Alright, the last guy

might've been a pushover,

but I assure you I won't be.

This says they can

repossess Al's property.

That's our whole show.

What are we gonna do?

Copy, be right there.

Okay well, I gotta tell Al.

Sylvio, this is really serious.

He needs to know.

Well I don't know what to do.

Maybe you could talk to your

boss again or something?

Okay, keep me posted.

- Hey man, hold up just a sec.

Dawg, break this for me!

I'm filming.

Dude, what?

I know you're that smasher gorilla dude.

Smash it!

- There's the man!

- Hey Sylvio.

I want you to meet J.J.

He is a talent agent

and he's interested in

maybe setting up some

opportunities for us.

You know, some business opportunities.

Great to finally meet you.

Big fan.

- Why don't you guys

chat it out a little bit.

See if you can come up with something.

I'm gonna head down there.

Oh boy.

Sylvio!

I love it.

What's the ape gonna break?

It's brilliant!

You come up with that?

I bet you did.

Look, I'll cut to the chase.

I wanna represent you.

I wanna be a part of the Sylvio team.

You got potential to make a lot of money.

You ever think about branding?

You understand what I'm saying?

- Oh no, I thought you understood.

We can't do Herbert on the show anymore.

Yeah, I mean now that

we have our new sponsor

they're looking for a

certain type of show.

Unfortunately, puppet shows

aren't really the content

that they're looking for.

You know, I have to

make sure they're happy

because that's where

the money's coming from.

Look Sylvio, I'm sorry to disappoint you

but this is a new show now.

It's not like the old days

where we could just do whatever we want.

You know, we have to stick to the script.

You see what I'm saying?

Let's get you into costume.

Take the bat.

Smash the guitar, gorilla!

What's the ape gonna break?

It's Brilliant!

Did you come up with that one?

Look, Sylvio I'm

sorry to disappoint you,

but this is a new show now.

It's not like the old days

when we could just do

whatever we want you know?

We have to stick to the script.

- Tony, did you settle

the Allen Reynolds debt?

- No sir.

- Did anyone settle the

Allen Reynolds debt?

Then why is it listed under settled debts?

- I don't know,

but this guy hasn't paid.

Haven't gotten him to

even answer the door.

- Sylvio...

- Sylvio!

Come on Sylvio.

Listen

I spoke with Charlotte.

I explained the whole situation to her.

She's gonna let us air Herbert.

I'm serious, we're all set.

Sorry.

I was thinking we could

give Herbert his own slot,

and you could do whatever

you want with it.

No interference.

That sound good?

I'm sorry.

I don't know, maybe just

one episode or something

you could, have Herbert polishing

a chandelier or something.

But we'll figure that all out.

The main thing is, I want

you to be a part of this.

Oh my god.

What Maggie?

I'm in the middle of something.

- You have to come back,

they're taking everything.

Al?

- Hey!

Hey, what are you doing with that stuff?

This is all my equipment.

Sir, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

- Boom!

See

See

We can

Accomplish anything

We put our minds toward

- Hands, hands, show me your hands!

Show me your hands.

Get out of the car.

Get out of the car now!

Get out of the car.

Turn around.

Put your hands against the van.

Put your hands against the van.

Hands behind back.

You're lucky.

They're not pressing any charges.

Do you know anybody that can pick you up?

- I hate to ask this but,

well since I'm technically

not a home owner anymore,

you think I could,

maybe stay at your place

for a little while?

Yeah?

You sure?

J.J.?

J.J. what?

The show?

You wanna get the show back?

- Look, here's the deal.

You're in set back mode, okay?

But that's not a bad thing.

Alright, you're still hot.

You're still on people's radar,

but you gotta move quickly, okay?

I'd say you got a two, three month window

before people start to

forget about you, okay?

So you gotta strike while the iron's hot.

Saturation, heavy, you know what I mean?

But you gotta be willing to play ball.

Yeah?

Okay, let's make some money.

- You know, you are a gorilla.

You are a beast.

Give me mean.

Give me powerful.

Show me toughness.

These paper towels don't

wilt under the pressure.

They defeat the wetness.

They don't let the wetness through.

Show me impenetrable.

Alright everyone, let's reset.

Back to one if you will.

Let's bring light three in two inches.

- 35 Baker, take 12, mark.

- And, action!

- No, no come on.

We need more aggression!
