LOUIS: “Well, Brian, sometimes life forces you to change your plans at the drop of a hat.”
PETER: “Yeah, like that time when I climbed Mt. Everest.”
SCENE: PETER and 4 MOUNTAINEERS are in a rope chain near the top of Mt. Everest.
PETER: “Here we are guys, almost at the top. Hold on, I’m getting a message from base.”
RADIO VO: “Scott Brown has won the special election in Massachusetts. The Republicans now have 41 Senators in the Senate.
MOUNTAINEER1: “It’s all over!”
MOUNTAINEER1 unlatches himself and jumps off the side of the mountain, yelling on the way down. MOUNTAINEER2 and MOUNTAINEER3 drop their backpacks and begin punching each other, spilling each other’s blood on the snow. MOUNTAINEER4 pulls an American flag out of his pack.
PETER: “Um, the summit is right there. A few more steps and...”
MOUNTAINEER4: “For glory!”
MOUNTAINEER4 plunges American flag into his heart and collapses to the ground.
MOUNTAINEER4: “UGK-UGH.”
PETER: “Okay...we’ll take a breather.”
