Auction, The (TV commercial concept script)
10/04 – BEER – “THE AUCTION” – :30 TVC
EXT. OUTDOOR AUCTION –
Camera shot is behind well dressed people sitting in white chairs facing a stage for an auction; behind the podium a man in a tuxedo wrapping a gavel.
AUCTIONEER: Sold for $500,000 dollars.
b.g. two men carry a beautiful painting off the stage while two other men bring onto the stage a super ugly sculpture.
Auctioneer looks at the super ugly sculpture and swallows uneasily.
AUCTIONEER: Now for a challenging piece.
Auctioneer while looking confounded and wiping his brow with handkerchief continues, “Shall we start the bidding at $1,000 dollars?”
Audience members shake their heads and grumble.
AUCTIONEER: Anyone?
Suddenly Auctioneer receives bids.
AUCTIONEER: I have a $1,000…I have $1,500, $2,000, $2,500
Bid amount keeps rising and auctioneer keeps taking bids.
Camera cuts back to pan across the audience and then panoramic from behind audience.
Men on both the far right and left of the audience are raising their paddles while the auctioneer continues to take the higher bids
Camera cuts to side where beautiful woman in a French-maid uniform is carrying a silver platter of BEER. (The men are waving their paddles to try and get her attention – inadvertently bidding on the item.)
Cut to splash page for BEER
Both men stand on each side of the ugly sculpture with BEER in hand, one shaking his head, the other scratching – both look perplexed.
Then, BEER girl walks by with tray, stops.
BEER GIRL: I really thought you had him at $6,000.

Scrabble
Into the Void
And in to the void our misdeeds go
Each synergistic transgression and ill-fate
Pardoned and replaced by some arcane collegiate
We call experience
A learn’ed teacher of precedent
A scholar of occurrences repeated
The recorder of such trivial pursuits
The auditor of precious resources
But our insatiable fondness of risk
Gives no leave to amend iniquity
Nor the mere amiss design of wend
So, we are left to petition for some redress
Those who have suffered our pretenses
Repenting un-to holy anonymities
Seeking forgiveness in aimless fashion
Lest we ourselves forget...
Only our convictions survive, only our convictions survive
