INTERIOR - LUCUS’ DINER - DAY(DUSK)

*Throughout the following discussion Alex and Walter can be seen sitting down at a table, flagging down the waitstaff and ordering some food.

*Philip can be seen standing in various places in the background

Panel 1:

As our group enters the diner, they see small tables with chairs and a counter with stools. Pass through to the kitchen. The back counter has coffee equipment, a sink etc. Glass domes with pie or donuts. Ah, hell, just put Agent Cooper on a stool.

HEATHER (her back to the door) is holding court, standing in the middle, sharing her story. Others face her, from tables, stools or the counter, pass through.

HEATHER:

It was horrible! Two giant glowing eyes! Covered in tentacles!

It came at me out of the lake. I screamed and ran.

Panel 2:

HEATHER: And even worse, I dropped my phone!

FRANK:Sorry to hear that Heather. Phones can be expensive for some.

Panel 3:

Alex and Walter, in the background, sit down at an empty table.

MAYOR - TAYLOR:

There’s no monster living on the beach, don’t be ridiculous.

It was likely just some seaweed on the rocks.

Panel 4:

Philip and Fred can be seen somewhere standing together elsewhere in the background.

NICOLE:

It can’t be seaweed, seaweed is salt water.

And the lakebed isn’t right for growing aquatic plants.

MAYOR - TAYLOR:

And now you’re an expert on marine biology Nicole!?

What? Have you read every book in that library of yours?

Of all the stories we've done, of all the parodies we've done, this one, and this scene, might be the most piled-up layers of parody and references at once. Multiple TV shows, including multiple incarnations of some shows, fictional characters and real people, some famous, some personal. When the story is over we may need to put out a chart of some sort to go through it all.

For now, enjoy the little details and see who you can spot or recognize.
