mean seekers - better be from that bowl of Ganga water that I spat in,
otherwise I am going to wipe that fucking laugh off your face and your

   Scenario: A beat up saffron-colored Ford Ranger mini-pickup truck with
 a rickety wooden camper shell parked beside a clear-flowing river with a
 flashing neon sign hooked up to a 12-volt battery that reads Water for
 Sale. Leaning against the camper shell on the tailgate in his much too
 tight, yet dapper, Shivaratri-best dhoti is our Laughing Protector of His
 Holiness Raviji who appears to be either in samadhi or nodding off. (The
 latter is probably the case since LPHHR's head occasionally drops suddenly
 then quickly comes back up with a jerking motion.) Seeker Xeno warily
 approaches while seekers Share and Steve maintain a relatively safe
 distance about 50 yards away hidden in the lush vegetation growing along
 the river on which seeker Share is busily munching and making soft cooing
 sounds. Seeker Steve's eyes are focused on seeker Share, with an occasional
 glance towards seeker Xeno, ever ready to jump in at a moment's notice
 should the slightest danger present itself. A dry twig snaps loudly under
 seeker Xeno's sandal-covered foot to which LPHHR awakens with a start
 muttering ...yes...mmm...yes...hare Ravi...mmm... as if caught between an
 erotic dream and waking reality.
  
   Seeker Xeno is the first to speak: Oh Laughing Protector and manner
 of the Ticket Counter, I and my two seeker companions hiding back there in
 the bushes have traveled long and far along this clear-flowing river and
 are most thirsty for water. More importantly, and I can't speak for my two
 seeker companions hiding back there in the bushes, I approach as a
 groveling, sycophantic worshiper of His Greatness whose name is revered far
 and wide throughout these lands of FFL, and desire greatly for just a few
 crumbs of His Holy and Benign Darshan or maybe just a kernel of His Most
 High Wisdom passed through you to me...uh, I mean us. Hey, seekers Share
 and Steve, if you wanna get in on this, you better get up here now...
  
   Slightly disheveled seekers Share and Steve, with sheepish grins on
 their glistening faces, emerge from the bushes.

 Certainly, smiles LJB as
 he walks a mere two feet away and dips an empty quart bottle in the 
clear-flowing river and hands it to seeker Xeno. That will be $10 please.
 
 Now wait just a darn minute, O Laughing One protests seeker Xeno, who 
 obviously came out of meditation a little too quickly. Earlier you said 
 water was $2 a cup so by my calculation four cups would only be $8.
 
 Yes, dear seeker Xeno, that is true, croons LJB in his most soothing voice. 
 But four cups is equal to a quart of water, and the price of a quart of 
 water is $10. If you're running low on funds, I conveniently accept credit or 
 debit cards for a very modest 5% surcharge over and above my very fair 
 purchase prices.
 
 Slightly confused because he came out of meditation a little too quickly, and 
 his rabid thirst getting the better of him, seeker Xeno hands over his gold 
 Amex card to which LJB smiles gleefully as soon as he turns to go ring up the 
 charge.
 Why don't I just hold on to this until all our purchases are complete, hmmm? 
he asks, to which seeker Xeno, in a daze and staring at a group of people

 Suddenly, and with utter finality, the veil lifts, and with a clarity of 
 understanding experienced previously only for the very briefest of moments, 
 no longer a seeker Xeno proclaims, O Laughing One, I am now the one who is 
 laughing because the water is, and has always been, free.
 
 A momentary look of fear and panic clouds LJB's face as he realizes no longer 
 a seeker Xeno has discovered the truth, but quickly turns to disappointment 
 as he realizes he has just lost his best customer in weeks. What has been

When we last left LJB and our three seekers, seekers Share and Steve were yadda 
yadda yadda in the lush vegetation just inches away from the clear-flowing 
river while seeker Xeno had spent an indeterminant length of time either deep 
in samadhi or sloughing off hopefully the final remnants of deep fatigue in his 
nervous system...judging from the wet spot on his shirt front, we can safely 
assume the latter. As the scene opens, Nellie J's Price Tag

Xeno, and in a louder and slightly more impatient voice says: Take one or two 
minutes and slowly open the eyes.

As seeker Xeno's eyes begin to flutter open, seekers Share's and Steve's begin 
to close as the heavy and intoxicatingly sweet fragrance of lilac, along with 
the natural lullaby of the clear-flowing river, gently lulls them to

Wilbur, you old scoundrel you! Long time, no hear! My ma was your pa's pen pal 
throughout our younger years. She saved every last letter he wrote her and tied 
pretty ribbons around them, and hid 'em in her cedar chest at the foot of her 
and my pa's bed...or so she thought. Anyway, she told me she met your pa when 
her 11th grade class went on an early spring field trip to our nation's capital 
at the exact same time that your pa's senior class was there, and they stayed 
at the very same hotel. Well, she never did finish high school because she had 
me less than a year later...I'm a Christmas baby. Don't you remember when you 
and your pa came to visit the farm here in Carolina and stayed almost a whole 
week! I was seven and you were five and we had such fun milkin' the cows and 
sloppin' the hogs with grandpa. Remember when we jumped out of the hayloft and 
you got your foot caught in the boards? You fell plumb smack on your back and 
knocked the breath clean out ya'. Ma whooped both of us real good with that 
willow branch for scaring the daylights outta her, then felt bad, so had 
grandpa churn us a gallon of homemade peach ice cream and we ate about a quart 
each and had stomach aches afterwards. Anyway, a few years later, ma married my 
pa and the letters from your pa quit coming, and we lost touch with each other.

Who'd have thought that we'd both end up involved in some way with TM...you do 
meditate, don't you Wilbur? Silly me, but of course you do, you're Share's 
agent, aren't you??? I'm excited about reconnecting as, of course, I'd be 
pleased as punch to have you as my agent. I'll have my people's people line 
something up with your people to work out the details of the contract. My 
current team has just finalized a movie deal with Spielberg's outfit Dreamworks 
(do you think you can handle that???) and we're in the middle of casting. So 
far, we have Steve Carell lined up as seeker Steve, and Alan Rickman is 
seriously considering the part of seeker Xeno. Since finishing up the Harry 
Potter series, Rickman is sort of strapped for cash so I think we'll get him. 
Oh, and Alicia Keyes is onboard with her version of Songbird as the movie's 
love theme. We should have moved more quickly on Jennifer Lawrence as seeker 
Share but then she had to go and win the Best Actress Oscar so it's highly 
doubtful that she'll sign with us now...a couple of heads rolled for dragging 
their feet on that one! We might have to settle for Dolly Parton, unless you 
know someone we could approach who is within our ten mil budget. And who are we 
going to get to play me? I've been so busy writing the screenplay that I 
haven't given it another thought. I guess if push comes to shove, I could 
always play myself. And of course, His Holiness Raviji will want to play 
himself when He makes a brief cameo to zap seekers Share and Steve with His 
Holy and Benign Darshan near the end of the movie. Let's move slowly on this as 
I don't want to unduly alarm Him as He has grown to depend on me as His 
self-appointed door lackey, and I've grown to depend on the substantial take at

 As seeker Xeno's eyes begin to flutter open, seekers Share's and
Steve's begin to close as the heavy and intoxicatingly sweet fragrance
of lilac, along with the natural lullaby of the clear-flowing river,
gently lulls them to sleep...not to mention the velvety cushion of soft
green moss against which both are languidly reclined. (Happy now,
Steve???)


  Birds.  I want birds.  Songbirds.  The scene needs these to be
complete. The lullaby of the river is good, but let's work in some song
birds, and maybe a croaking frog.


 When he is once more able to focus, seeker Xeno's eyes fall on the
vast assortment of objects that LJB has so artfully and tastefully
arranged on the downturned tailgate of the pick-up truck. In the shadows
under the wooden camper shell can be seen various beat up cardboard
boxes in a state of disarray with their contents spilling out across the
bed of the truck.

 Could I interest you seeker Xeno in various rare and sacred objects
guaranteed to begin the cleansing and purifying process to the extent
that His Worshipfulness will deign to bestow a brief moment of His
coveted attention upon your sorry ass...uh, I mean unrealized small 's'
self? croons LJB in his best Og Mandino impression.

 In a somewhat croaky yet quiet whisper so that seekers Share and Share
can't hear, seeker Xeno asks May I please buy four cups of water to
assuage my rabid thirst?

 Certainly, smiles LJB as he walks a mere two feet away and dips an
empty quart bottle in the clear-flowing river and hands it to seeker
Xeno. That will be $10 please.

 Now wait just a darn minute, O Laughing One protests seeker Xeno,
who obviously came out of meditation a little too quickly. Earlier you
said water was $2 a cup so by my calculation four cups would only be
$8.

 Yes, dear seeker Xeno, that is true, croons LJB in his most soothing
voice. But four cups is equal to a quart of water, and the price of a
quart of water is $10. If you're running low on funds, I conveniently
accept credit or debit cards for a very modest 5% surcharge over and
above my very fair purchase prices.

 Slightly confused because he came out of meditation a little too
quickly, and his rabid thirst getting the better of him, seeker Xeno
hands over his gold Amex card to which LJB smiles gleefully as soon as
he turns to go ring up the charge. Why don't I just hold on to this
until all our purchases are complete, hmmm? he asks, to which seeker
Xeno, in a daze and staring at a group of people further down the
clear-flowing river dipping out cool water by the gallon, mutters, Huh?
Whatever.

 Suddenly, and with utter finality, the veil lifts, and with a clarity
of understanding experienced previously only for the very briefest of
moments, no longer a seeker Xeno proclaims, O Laughing One, I am now
the one who is laughing because the water is, and has always been,
free.

 A momentary look of fear and panic clouds LJB's face as he realizes no
longer a seeker Xeno has discovered the truth, but quickly turns to
disappointment as he realizes he has just lost his best customer in
weeks. What has been sought has been found. You have no need for these
earthly objects nor the attention or presence of my Master Raviji, so go
from here and find your own self-proclaimed door lackeys.

 As Xeno is seen disappearing into the setting sun whistling
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah further down the river, seekers Share and Steve can
be seen stumbling towards the clearing in which sits the beat up
saffron-colored Ford Ranger mini-pickup truck. As the scene slowly fades
to black, seeker Share can be heard excitedly saying, Oh look Stevie at
all these wonderful things. I must have one of these and, and three of
those and, and...Stevie, would you be a dear and buy us another quart of
water...and what are those things in that box back there... as LJB's
face turns from sadness and disappointment to absolute and utter joy,
and he croons, Right this way, seeker Share, right this way. Have I got
something special just for you...

 A few minutes later, Xeno's eyelids flutter, and his eyes begin to
open, downcast. He is still deep within. LJB, sensing his pending
mercantile triumph, makes a few nervous adjustments to his display, and
stands back.

 Xeno, having emerged from a deeply golden and glorious place, now
looks upon the raft of LJB's Divine treasures, arranged like baby's
candy on the tailgate.

 As he awakes to the world around him, Xeno's eyes first settle on a
necklace of mystical beads, among the tantalizing offerings. Each bead
perfectly formed, the exact shape and color of the previous one. A flush
of Bliss runs up Xeno's spine, a sign that he must have the strand. He
points a dignified finger and silently inquires, How much?

 LJB can barely contain himself. Right off, Xeno has gone for the cash
cow! Plastic rudraksha beads, bought in bulk off the web, from a joint
in Delhi, for 15 rupees a pop (about 29 cents, US), and sold to the
seekers for 20 bucks each! Jai Guru Dev!

 [...to be continued...maybe]

Okay, I've had it!

If your going write Steve and Share out of the script, I want it to be
dramatic.

Unbeknowst to all the parties assembled at this auspicious spot, a
violent storm had moved in some forty miles North, resulting in a sudden
and unpredictable rise of river.  The two individuals covorting there
were caught totally unawares until a wall of water came crashing down
and took the two, uh, friends, yes friends, head over heals down to a
watery end.

Now feel free to amend this.  Maybe the two, uh, friends, yes friends,
don't die off.  But come up with something!!

Much to Share and Steve's chagrin, Xeno attempts to buy at any price, LJB's
