Rent - Tune up #1

MARK:
December 24th, nine pm,
Eastern standard time
From here on in
I shoot without a script

See if anything comes of it
Instead of my old shit

First shot - Roger
Tuning the Fender guitar
He hasn't played in a year

ROGER:
This won't tune

MARK:
So we hear
He's just coming back
From half a year of withdrawal

ROGER:
Are you talking to me? MARK:
Not at all

Are you ready? Hold that focus -
Steady
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger

ROGER:
I'm writing one great song --

MARK:
The phone rings

ROGER:
Saved!

MARK:
We screen
Zoom in on the answering machine!
