INT. COFFEE HOUSE - A LITTLE LATER
(WILSON IS BEHIND AN AFRICAN TRIBAL SHIELD)
WILSON
. . . I had been living with the Mara Masai tribe for six months, but had been unable to engage the aged chief in conversation. When I had all but given up hope, he summoned me to his deathbed, and whispered the words I'll never forget -- 'Hidy-ho, neighbor.,
BRAD
So that's where he got it.
TIM
I thought I knew everything about Wilson.
JILL
See? If you'd gone to the Pistons game, you never would've known that.
TIM
I've got to admit, Wilson's doing a great job. Not to take anything away from Ramblin' Andy and his nose pickin, song.

INT. KITCHEN/FAMILY ROOM - SATURDAY MORNING (DAY 3)
(Tim, Jill, Brad, Randy, Mark, Wilson)
(RANDY IS EATING BREAKFAST. TIM IS MIXING INGREDIENTS IN A BOWL. MARK ENTERS)
MARK
What stinks?
TIM
Today's the big Weird Food Cook-off at Tool Time. Who wants to try my garlic tuna with bananas?
RANDY
I'd rather eat mulch.
TIM
Then you'll love my lemongrass chili pudding.
(JILL ENTERS WITH THE NEWSPAPER)

(TIM LOOKS AT THE BACK OF THE NEWSPAPER)
TIM
Wow.
JILL
Something big happen in the news?
TIM
No, a sale on needle-nose pliers.

JILL
Look, there's a review of the show last night. (READING) 'Performing Arts Festival Opens At Campus Cafe. It was a capacity crowd, and excitement filled the air. Until Elzina Harris took the stage with her poem, "Die, die, die."*
TIM
After this review, her poetry career is going to be dead, dead, dead.
JILL
Not according to this critic. (READING) 'The excitement turned to awe and reverence for this gifted, young poetess.'
RANDY
What was in his coffee?
JILL
Wait till you hear what he says about the bag dancers. 'The best fabric choreography I've seen anywhere, bar none.'

TIM
He couldn't have liked Yodel Boy.
JILL
'Brilliant. His easygoing charm was infectious.'
TIM
If he likes that, he's got to think Wilson's a genius.
JILL
'The only low point of the evening was the meaningless meandering of a pompous performance artist named Wilson.'
MARK
What?
TIM
You've got to be kidding.
JILL
It gets worse. 'The presumably extraordinary events described in this monologue rang false on every level. They were the words of a man completely out of touch with reality.' (MORE)
