Rance & Rancette: Rance's Fatal Mistake
Topic: Rance & Rancette
Notes from Rancette (sorry I have no administrative staff):

Annie said in my comments:
"Rance might get jealous if he has some competition."

You know, I should have thought of this sooner, Annie. You're a genius! Instead of moping about, begging Rance to pay me attention, I should devote my blog to other people and he could get jealous. However, I already had this installment of Rance & Rancette written, so going gaga for Quentin will have to wait.


FADE IN

INT. HOLLYWOOD MANSION

Lavish Hollywood party. PUNCH BOWL BOY (who looks alarmingly like
John, Rance & Rancette's waiter) is serving punch to the guests.

PUNCH BOWL BOY
Hi, how are you?

Hands her a cup of punch.

RANCETTE
I'm doing good, thanks. I'm *BLEEP*. What's your
name?

PUNCH BOWL BOY
*BLEEP*.

Rancette feels a shadowy figure behind her. She turn around to find
George Clooney checking her out.

GEORGE
Hello, beautiful.

RANCETTE
George, I always heard of what a ladies man you were,
but I never knew for sure until now.

GEORGE
What are you talking about?

Rancette blushes as George smiles a great big Clooney smile and
looks right in her eyes.

RANCETTE
Well, I uh...

They talk for a half hour. Dialogue not posted for spacial limits.

The next day Rancette checks Rance's site as usual. She is
shocked to find his first post in over a week. This post includes all the
details of George & Rancette's conversation from the night before. Worse
yet, George/Rance reveals Rancette's professional name!

Rancette calls up several reporters who worked on reporting the initial
"Who is Rance?" stories. None of them believe that she knows George Clooney
is Rance. Rancette takes matters into her own hands.

INT. ANOTHER VERY SIMILAR HOLLYWOOD MANSION

Lavish, extravagant Hollywood party. Pink and Britney Spears are
here, among Scarlett Johansson and Jake Gyllenhaal. Rancette is about
to introduce herself to Jake (the moment she has been waiting for
all her life)! But George Clooney is here, she sees, as she
looks past Jake. George Clooney must be dealt with.

RANCETTE
(to George)
Why hello, again Clooney. I bet you weren't expecting
to hear from me anytime soon.

GEORGE
(putting on the charm)
Oh, angel lips! Great to see you baby doll.

RANCETTE
Cut it out, Rance.

A look of horror crosses George/Rance's face.

RANCE
Please don't tell anyone.

RANCETTE
That depends.

RANCE
On what?

RANCETTE
If you cooperate.

RANCE
I'm not going to pay you off...

RANCETTE
Well, you don't have to. This is just about the right
time for your identity to be revealed anyway.

RANCE
How did you figure it out? Are you Lora? Robyn?
Waxwing? Is waxwing a girl? A man? Oh my go...

Rancette giggles.

RANCETTE
No, I'm not going to reveal my identity. But
let's just say I'm on top of things.

RANCE
Wait, I know who you are. You're that screenwriter.
You're Rancette!

RANCETTE
W-Wait a minute, George.

RANCE
Two can play this game.

RANCETTE
I was kind of ticked off that you used my real
name in your post, Rance.

RANCE
I'm sorry.

RANCETTE
Sorry's too bad. There's only one way out of this
trap, Rance. And guess what the price to pay is?

Rance winces.

RANCE
What?

RANCETTE
You post everyday on your blog, until you want me
to spill your identity to the world.

RANCE
Simple enough. I can get Rubber Duckie to cover
Mondays and Wednesdays and Gus Openshaw to cover
Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll do Fridays. Who can
do weekends? You, Rancette??

RANCETTE
Although thrilled you finally offered your blog to
me, the answer is no. No guest bloggers.

RANCE
But that would be impossible! I can't post everyday.
I don't have internet access on weekends!

RANCETTE
You're going to have to find a way, Rance. Unless
you want your identity to be revealed to the world.

Rance suddenly starts posting everyday, much to the surprise of his fans.
They all live happily ever after, except Gus Openshaw, Rocky, and
Rubber Duckie, who wonder why they were suddenly cut out of being guest
bloggists.

FADE OUT

Rancette,

I like your motivational program(that sounds so much better than blackmail, doesn't it?). Remember, everyone needs a day of rest, so let Rance have his pick of one day off.

Punch Bowl Boy sounds like a struggling actor. Maybe if you write a part for him, he'll help you keep tabs on Rance about town.

Chinquapin
P.S. You know, a big grin from George would have me flyin' for a week. Anyone want to hang at Dan Tana's with me?

You're right. When I changed my list format to Calendar, I realized I didn't post on Saturdays a lot (after I had just knocked everyone down for not posting on weekends). No, I am not a 7th Day Adventist. I was planning on posting this Saturday to make up for abandoning everyone on Saturdays.

So anyway, about Punch Bowl Boy. Yes, he's a reoccuring character. And I like your idea about him keeping tabs on Rance about town.

I have other ideas in the "hopper" (to use a Rance/A.S. word). So I will probably work on them first and then get back to developing Punch Bowl Boy. To see what his fears are, if he has a girlfriend, etc. etc.
