Panel 1-5 INT. THE GARAGE – NOON – SHOT OF BARNEBUS, SIMON, LIZ, AND BARNEBUS Barnebus jams out for a guitar solo, each panel showing off the band playing their respective instruments, the center panel being a close shot of Barnebus’ guitar being played on as Barnebus himself is out of the panels with five drawing of him rocking it. BARNEBUS I found your heart in the drunk Hiding away from the fear that you weren't enough Until Johnny boy shouted out sweet nothings into the earshot crowd The strangest time of our lives went by With things unsaid until yesterday Went and took you away from all you knew Four years is all it takes For the jealousy to break away Not a second more can pass us by Until you break down

BARNEBUS You looked so sweet, breathed so serene I could've lost my way eternally My way eternally

I’ve heard better rhythm sections from one of those shitty open mic bands at the Whiskey A Go-Go! SIMON What exactly do you mean? Panel 2 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS Barnebus elaborates.

Panel 1 INT. THE GARAGE – MORNING – SHOT OF AL, LIZ, SIMON AND BARNEBUS TITLE: The Starry Ladders – The Starry Ladders Are Born Part 26 # 1 — Will Steadman The band are around the mid-point of the song, though it seems they’re slightly struggling, Liz especially so. Caption Attempt #2 Panel 2 DITTO Barnebus then goes to ask everyone stop for a moment. BARNEBUS HEY HEY, STOP FOR A SEC! SIMON Huh, what’s up? Panel 3 SHOT OF BANREBUS AND LIZ A frustrated Barnebus turns his attention to Liz, giving her some criticisms as Liz hisses back. BARNEBUS Well, from what I’m hearing, it sounds like a clusterfuck! What in god’s name are you doing Liz?! LIZ Dude, I’m only adding a counterpoint to your melody! Panel 4 SHOT OF BANREBUS AND LIZ Barnebus hisses back at Liz, as she glares at Barnebus. BARNEBUS Well, whatever you’re doing, it sounds like trash! This is MY song, not one of your ‘fling shit onto the wall and see what sticks’ numbers! Panel 5 SHOT OF AL AND LIZ Al then comes in to suggest that Liz should try and compliment the rhythm section rather than try and counter the melody. AL Ya know Liz, maybe you should focus some of your energy on complimenting me and Simon’s rhythm. We sure could use your help! LIZ Hmm, alrighty!

Panel 1 INT. THE GARAGE – MORNING – SHOT OF AL, LIZ, SIMON AND BARNEBUS Everyone now set up, Barnebus begins to tell everyone how he wants the song to go.

Panel 2 SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS Barnebus explains how he wants how the drums to go first. BARNEBUS Al, if you could give me some nice fast drums, that’d be great! AL I’ll see what I can do! M Panel 3 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND SIMON Next it’s Simon’s turn. BARNEBUS Simon, you should try playing slightly slower, but try to keep up the pace. SIMON Right! Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND LIZ Then, Liz’s turn. BARNEBUS Liz, keep up with me. LIZ Okey-Dokey! Panel 5 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS Barnebus, still annoyed with Simon’s re-write, bends down to put the lyrics somewhere on his pedal board where he can see it. BARNEBUS Now... just to... put this on my board... BARNEBUS (Thoughts) God damn this still sucks...

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS A slightly annoyed Barnebus tries to explain what he was doing to Al, equally as annoyed. BARNEBUS Geez, Sorry! All I was doing was some band related business! AL During store hours? BARNEBUS Oh yeah sure, let me tell them to wait around until 7, when they start losing interest! Panel 2 DITTO Al continues on AL BARNEBUS! BARNEBUS Alright alright, I’ll do better to keep to my work! AL It’s not just that! BARNEBUS Huh? Panel 3 CLOSE UP ON AL Al then brings up the fact that he didn’t involve Simon in this conversation. AL What about Simon?! You didn’t think that he’d want to have a say in this? Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND AL Barnebus then acts sarcastic to Al’s further annoyance. BARNEBUS Oh! How thoughtless of me! I forgot to get out the Wawa hotline and ask for Simon’s opinion, how thoughtless of me! AL Don’t get snippy with me Panel 5 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS Barnebus then tries to reassure Al that he knows what he is doing, and that Simon will back him up on this. BARNEBUS Look, I know what I’m doing here, so don’t worry! Besides, I have a feeling that Simon will appreciate me taking the initiative to get our feet though the door

CUSTOMER 2 (OP) Alright, so we’re located in Collegeville, right across from the High School. I’ll have Phil over here write down directions on how to get there. BARNEBUS (OP) Hot Damn, Collegevill! Haven’t been there in a hot minute! Panel 2 SHOT OF AL, BARNEBUS, AND THE TWO CUSTOMERS Al then goes in to talk with the three, with a somewhat forced smile on his face. AL already making friends with the customers I see, Barney. BARNEBUS Heh, I guess you could say that! Panel 3 SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS Al then goes on to ask if he could Barnebus for a couple seconds or so. AL Say Barns, do you mind if I have a word with you for a minute? BARNEBUS Oh! Uh, yes, of course! Panel 4 DITTO The two walk into the back room, Al laughing in a fake manner... AL Excuse us, Gentlemen… Panel 5 DITTO He then raises his voice a bit at Barnebus. AL Just what in Sam Hill do you think you’re doing?!

BARNEBUS Luckily for you two, our band is, In Fact, very revolutionary CUSTOMER 1 ...Go on. Panel 4 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS Barnebus then goes on to sell the two on The Starry Ladders. BARNEBUS Well, the bassist for my group discovered this genre not too long ago, Footgaze I think it’s called. It’s hip as fuck, and trust me, you’ll regret it if you miss out on this! Panel 5 SHOT OF BANRBEUS AND THE TWO CUSTOMERS Barnebus asks them about it, Customer one is still a bit hesitant, but the other one... BARNEBUS So what do you two say, you guys wanna give us a shot? CUSTOMER 1 I mean... Usually we’d like to hear a demo fi- Panel 6 DITTO Immediately concedes to Barnebus smug enjoyment, and the others disappointment. CUSTOMER 2 You’re in!

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – SHOT OF BARNEBUS, AND CUSTOMERS Barnebus speaks up, the two customers directing their attention to him. CUSTOMER 1 CUSTOMER 2 Hey, I couldn’t help but over hear you’re in a bit of a jam, what’s up? Oh, uh, it’s nothing! Just that we’ve got a shindig going on at our club, The Dead Duck Inn. Yeah, one of our bands had to drop out! Stinking Strep Throat season, ya know? Panel 2 DITTO, BUT CLOSER SHOT OF BARNEBUS Barnebus muses a bit as he chats with the two. BARNEBUS OLICH, THAT BITES! SO WHAT, YOU TWO CAN'T FIND A REPLACMENT BAND? I MEAN, COULDN'T BE TOO HARD, RIGHT? CUSTOMER 2 OH, IT IS! EVERYONE IN OUR ROSTER OF BANDS HAPPEN TO HAVE GIGS ELSEWHERE, AND IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIND NEW TALENT AROUND HERE BARNEBUS Well… you two are in luck! Panel 3 CLOSE UP OF BARNEBUS Barnebus goes on to offer his band a chance to land their first gig. BARNEBUS I just happen to be a part of a band, and I think we could be a perfect last-minute replacement! Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS, AND CUSTOMERS The two customers look at each other blankly as Barnebus looks super proud of himself, his eyes closed and arms crossed.

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – ABOVE SHOT OF AL, BARNEBUS, AND CUSTOMERS The store now open, Al is seen working the counter and Barnebus cleaning various records (One at a time of course). Two customers, one wearing something that could be the prototype of what we’d call grudge fashion with blonde hair and glasses, the other in a plain band tshirt and jeans, a brown crew cut hair, can be seen browsing the alternative section in the CDs area. Panel 2 CLOSE UP OF BARNEBUS Barnebus has a bored look on his face as he cleans the record (Artist’s choice), but he seems to be doing a decent job non the less. Panel 3 DITTO Just then, he then overhears two people’s conversation. CUSTOMER 1 (OP) Oh, I forgot to tell ya, I got a call from Jimmy, apparently Lee’s got strep throat... Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND THE TWO CUSTOMERS He tries to listen in on the conversation further, as the one customer gets a bit frustrated. CUSTOMER 2 You’re friggen kidding me! So Summer Break’s a no-show? CUSTOMER 1 Afraid so... CUSTOMER 2 Shit! Please tell me you booked a back up band... CUSTOMER 1 No one else is available that week, remember? CUSTOMER 2 Shit, you’re right! Panel 5 CLOSE UP ON BARNEBUS A grin curls onto Barnebus’ face as opportunity knocks. CUSTOMER 1 (OP) I mean, it can’t be too hard to find a replacement act, right? CUSTOMER 2 (OP) Oh yeah, within weeks of the show! Totally easy!

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – WIDE SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS A slightly annoyed Barnebus is now giving Al his undivided attention. AL Ah good, I have your attention! BARNEBUS Y-yeah, great... AL Just remember who’s boss here, band leader. Panel 2 DITTO, BUT CLOSER Al then asks him if he would like to go over the process again, in which Barnebus waves it off. AL So, want me to refresh you on cleaning records. BARNEBUS No need, my parents taught me that when I started to buy my own. AL Damn good parents you’ve got! Panel 3 DITTO Al then asks about if they’ve taught him about how to sort the albums. AL And what about sorting albums, did they teach you that. BARNEBUS Well, I mean I think so. AL As in sorting by genres? Alphabetical order? BARNEBUS W...Well... I... No. AL I thought so. Panel 4 CLOSE UP ON AL Al just gives the rundown on how he’d like Barnebus to sort things AL It’s nothing too complicated, just go by the artist’ last name and put 'em in their respective genre. If you don’t know what goes where, don’t be afraid to ask. Panel 5 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND AL As opening time gets closer Al thinks it’s a good time for Barnebus to begin. AL Since we’re about to open, I’d say get started, and good luck! BARNEBUS Please, I don’t need luck!
