INT. ROOM - DAY
Community’s JEFF WINGER sits back at the table, carelessly
typing on his trademark Blackberry, not even acknowledging
the rest of his company.
About a Boy’s WILL FREEMAN absentmindedly drums on the
table.
Parks and Recreation’s RON SWANSON sits in his chair, arms
crossed, his face as stern as always.
WILL
How long does NBC want us to wait
in here?
JEFF
Maybe they’re hoping we die of old
age so they don’t have to go
through the formalities of
canceling us.
RON
They have approximately 2 minutes
before I break down that door and
take my leave.
WILL
I don’t think it’s locked.
RON
I intend to send a message...
Suddenly, they hear the door CREAK open, and DR. HANNIBAL
LECTER, of Hannibal, stands in the door way. A HAUNTING look
on his face.
HANNIBAL
Am I late?
CUT TO: Slow motion of Will madly running for the other side
of the room.
NARRATOR
Catch About A Boy, Tuesdays at 9 PM
EST.
CUT TO: Slow motion of Jeff, running right behind Will,
continuing to text, a look of panic on his face.
NARRATOR
Community, Thursdays at 8.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

2.

CUT TO: Ron, trailing behind the others, holding one of the
table’s wooden legs, and whittling it into a weapon with his
trusty knife.
NARRATOR
Followed by Parks and Recreation at
8:30.
The three have escaped out the back door, leaving Hannibal
standing in the door way.
HANNIBAL
Was it something I said?
NARRATOR
And Hannibal, Fridays at 10.
He lets off an eerie smirk.
FADE TO BLACK
