Or the Islamic Republic of Mauritania

Obviously, if I want to become a writer, I need to have writing samples. While still in New York, I took a hack at a '30 Rock' spec. I was pretty flipping pleased with the resulting piece. Here's a bit of the opening scene to whet your whatever.

LIZ
Where did you go?

JACK
California. I was visiting with Governor Schwarzenegger at his request.

LIZ
Wow. The Governator. Did he sexually harass anyone while you were there?

JACK
Don’t denigrate the man. He is a leader on the world’s stage who simply happens to have a robust sexual appetite.

LIZ
Is that why he called you in “at his request?”

JACK
No. He was pitching an idea to GE that he felt very strongly about.

Jack reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out...

LIZ
A green paint swatch?

Liz reaches for the swatch.

LIZ (CONT'D)
What shade is that?

JACK
General Electric is going Green, Lemon!

LIZ (reading swatch)
Limeade...

JACK
This morning Don Geiss will sign the papers admitting GE into the UN’s Convention on Climate Change.

LIZ
Woah, wait. GE is signing the Kyoto Protocol? Don’t you have to be, like, a nation?

Jack clasps his hands together.

JACK
Which do you think is a better get, Lemon? GE, with its $160 billion in annual revenue, or the island nation of Micronesia?
