HOME ALONE WTF With My Friend Carl

INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT
I'm eating. Carl is eating. Craig is playing a game on his iPhone, oblivious to everything. 


CARL 
Did you see 'Home Alone' the other night? 

KID
It was on TV? 

CARL
Yeah. The first and the second film. 

KID
It's too early. 

CARL 
Definitely too early. 

KID 
What the hell were they thinking? 

CARL 
I know. 


KID 
They do this every year. Everyone knows 'Home Alone' should be on TV about four days before Christmas. 

CARL 
Not in November. 

KID 
Never in November. 

CARL
Who are the people who schedule TV shows, do you know them?

KID 
I don't know them. I don't know anyone who thinks 'Home Alone' should be shown in November. 

CARL 
Same here. 

KID
They've ruined Christmas. 

CARL 
They've ruined Christmas. 

KID 
Home Alone should be shown four days before Christmas. 

CARL
What about Christmas eve? 

KID 
I have no problem with Christmas eve. You know what I have a problem with?

CARL 
The bird woman. 


KID
Nobody likes the bird woman. We have New York City, why do we need the bird woman? 

CARL 
They should screen the bird-woman parts in November and everything else in December, four days before Christmas. 

KID 
You know what else they should have in the second film?

CARL
What? 

KID
Fuller drinking Pepsi. 

CARL 
Definitely. 



KID 
I don't feel I can enjoy Christmas this year. 

CARL 
You don't even watch it on TV, you have it on DVD.

KID 
I only have it because the TV people keep messing it up.

CARL 
But why do you care? 

KID 
Because you don't show it in November. It's the rule. Everybody knows the rule. 

The 'Home Alone Conversation' is something that seems to happen every year. Read the one from last year here

Care to share?

  2. I agree and also enjoy watching "Angels with Filthy Souls" in the movie. And we can't forget the sequel, "Angels with even Filthier Souls"
