It's late at night, a lamp is dimly lit in the corner, the coffee table is strewn with coffee mugs and a Tim Horton's box of half-eaten doughnuts and Mike is in his pyjamas.
Mike: Lenny, I gotta get some sleep dude! I've got a final in the morning. (His eyes getting
heavy, he succumbs to the baby head he's been fighting and his head hits the coffee table).
Lenny: Dude! You've been pushing so hard to learn all that you can learn, (singing the next
words to the army commercial slogan) be all that you can be, find your future in the (awkwardly pausing cuz it doesn't fit the army tune) Grant MacEwan College. That's enough for tonight grasshopper, there's a sleepy dust delivery from the sandman waiting for you in the other room.
Lenny helps Mike up from the couch. Mike leans on Lenny as he walks him out of the living room. In the next scene we see Lenny lying on the couch reading Mike's business text book that's propped up on his beer belly and munching on one of the left over cream filled doughnuts.
Lenny's Inner Voice: (While he's reading, we see a daydream of him on a game show) Alex, I'd like Marketing for $500 please.
Mike (as Alex Tribec) Product, Place, Price, and Promotion.
Lenny: What are the four P's of Marketing?
Mike (as Alex Tribec): That is correct!
Lenny: 70's sitcoms for $1,000.
Mike (as Alex Tribec): Nanoo, nanoo.
Lenny: Mork and Mindy!
Mike (as Alex Tribec): I'm sorry, the answer needs to be formed as a question. That will cost you $1,000.
Lenny: Doh! (thinking to himself) I wish the category would have been organizational behaviour, I'da kicked butt on that one!
Lenny fades into a solid slumber on the couch. Sun slowly creeps in across the living room and we see Mike coming out of his room all showered and dressed with his laptop. He's looking for his textbook and spots it on the coffee table. As he reaches over for it, he sees Lenny, rather hears Lenny snoring so being the good friend that he is, he covers him with the Mexican throw and heads off for his final.
Later in the afternoon, we see Lenny sitting at the desk with his very own laptop and Mike enters the room through the front door.
Lenny: Mike! How'd it go, man?
Mike: Dude! I totally rocked that exam! We're talking A+, no, no, if there was such a thing we'd
be talking A plus plus!!! Man, I couldn't of done it without you, thanks man! Hey, watcha
doing? Is that a MacBook?!
Lenny: You bet it is, state of the art! Just got it this morning.
Mike: Uh, Lenny...what do you need a laptop for?
Lenny: I had this revelation dude! The big guy talked to me last night.
Mike: You talked to...God???
Lenny: Are you crazy? No! Alex Tribec! (Mike looks slightly confused).
He told me that I was wasting my time welding, waiting for something better to come
along. He reminded me about how much fun I've been having the past four months
helping you study. So I bought me self a super duper computer!
Mike: So what are you doing now?
Lenny: Registering for management studies. You were right, today's that day!
Mike: (excited) Really?!!
Lenny: I couldn't have done it without you man...and Grant MacEwan of course!
They do a goofy best friend handshake thing and bump bellies and the scene fades out.
~The End~
