Automated Systems Home Office Version AUTOMATED SYSTEMS "Dennis" Written by Joshua Turek (310)-883-8516 AUTOMATED SYSTEMS "Pilot" TEASER FADE IN: INT. HOME OFFICE Fluorescent lights flicker over DENNIS WONG, Chinese-American, in his 40’s, balding, wearing office attire in a standardized unit of home office living, with FOREARM CRUTCHES leaning nearby against his desk. He clicks on his screen and gazes at a livestream video of GENEVIEVE CARLSON, 47, white and frazzled, who sits at a home desk and picks up a telephone that hasn’t been ringing, font beneath her says HUMAN RESOURCES. GENEVIEVE Hello? Human Resources, hello? She glances around the bland room she is occupying. It appears to TREMOR, though it goes unacknowledged by her. GENEVIEVE Oh, um. Wrong number! That’s okay. No, that’s okay. She laughs nervously and hangs up the phone. Her eyes catch Dennis’s eyes on her own computer screen and she waves. He waves back, then clicks out of the screen. DENNIS (V.O.) I dream of summer love. Is that silly? To be a middle-aged man like me, yearning for golden wheat fields and our pairs of tan skin fawning over one another while glistening in the sun. Er. I want just one afternoon like that, before my line of work destroys what’s left of my mind. He speaks into a computer microphone that snakes out from the machine. DENNIS (into microphone) Tester five-two-zero, initiating Test A for American Eagle Cable & Internet Home Systems Customer Service. Picking up the home phone manually per test regulations. 2. He speaks off to the side. DENNIS Though a headset would do wonders for my god damn neck. His neck also has a faint red ring around the middle of it. He rubs his lower neck in discomfort, then he traces the different red ring around his middle neck sensually. He picks up the phone and dials. DENNIS (into the microphone) I like the 800 number. It has a nimble quality to the way my fingers dance while typing it swiftly into my phone. Very, satisfying. He listens. AUTOMATED SYSTEM (V.O.) Thank you for calling American Eagle Cable & Internet Home Systems Customer Service Hotline, for English please press one. DENNIS (into the microphone) No voice recognition option, notable in this day and age but not in a bad way. Recorded voice, pleasant in tone, efficiency in wording standard, as well as the elapsed time to first option. AUTOMATED SYSTEM (V.O.) For Mandarin press 4. Dennis presses the number 4. AUTOMATED SYSTEM (V.O.) (in Mandarin) If you are calling about your home internet system please press one. If you are calling about your home cable system please press two. If you are calling.. Dennis lets the phone lower. 3. DENNIS (into the microphone) Sometimes an automated system functions beautifully. I have high hopes for this one already, cuz it has a beating heart. Dennis wheels his chair back out of his desk to catch a glimpse of a few pictures of Genevieve which he keeps under his desk - accidentally taking the phone with him and tearing it out of its base as he does. AUTOMATED SYSTEM (in Mandarin) If you are calling to change your life, heal your soul, and stop the earthquake from destroying everyone in its path, please hang up and try your call again. His eyebrows raise. He writes down “try again” on his notepad, as he continues listening to the voice now on his speaker phone. A GLOW emanates from beneath a power strip under his desk, he looks at his computer screen and makes eye contact with a screensaver of the floating head of Genevieve, phone cord dangling and attached to nothing. He waves to her again as she floats upside down. FADE OUT. END OF TEASER 4. ACT ONE FADE IN: EXT. PLAYA VISTA APARTMENT BUILDING ARTIFICIAL LAWN - DAY Dennis walks with the assistance of forearm crutches upon artificial turf grass. He staggers across the square plot of green with a plastic grocery bag dangling from one of his hands also bearing his weight. From out of nowhere--his phone screen lights up. GENEVIEVE So what are you doing with your weekend? It’s a Facetime of Genevieve. DENNIS Genevieve. Hey! Oh, isn’t it only a Thursday? Genevieve smiles on her screen. GENEVIEVE I’m gonna renovate my kitchen. Well, not really renovate, just start looking at colors and stuff at Home Depot. Edward and I are still saving up for it. DENNIS That’s cool. I’ve heard kitchens and bathrooms are some of the-- A hummingbird catches the eye of Dennis. He distractedly follows it with his gaze. GENEVIEVE What? DENNIS A hummingbird. They are meaningful to me. It’s a long story. GENEVIEVE Do you need help carrying your lunch? I can send someone over to your place to help on the HelprApp. I know I’m not supposed to ask that cuz like obviously you have made it this far in your life without help but it just looks like it could be nice. 5. DENNIS I’ve made it this far with help actually. Yeah, you could def carry it if you were here but you’re not. GENEVIEVE Def? DENNIS Yeah like “definitely”. It’s how the kids talk these days. GENEVIEVE I never had kids. And I think I’m darn close to not ever having em. Menopause is right around the corner and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little more than preoccupied with solutions to calm the impending storm. He settles down onto one of the apartment buildings outdoor tables. DENNIS What kind of solutions? Genevieve, on the other side of his phone screen, takes out a bottle of pills and pops a couple. GENEVIEVE Herbal remedies. The hormones that doctors prescribe could give you cancer. So I don’t want to mess with em. But I also don’t want to dry up like a prune either. DENNIS I hear ya. GENEVIEVE How old are you? DENNIS 42. You? GENEVIEVE 47. DENNIS You don’t look a day over 37. 6. GENEVIEVE Thanks. I gotta run, cutting out early to meet Edward for something that I can’t talk about. DENNIS Ok, bye Genevieve. GENEVIEVE Later, Dennis Wong. She bounces out of his phone screen. Dennis watches her go, lowers his phone and looks up at the sky for a hummingbird that isn’t there anymore. DENNIS (V.O.) The average marriage in the United States of America lasts eight years. Genevieve has been married to Edward for six and a half. Now, assuming that the only thing that isn’t exceptional about her is-- Punched in his arm by a voice, shaken out of his reverie by ALBERT CORIANDER, 34, white, fun loving CEO of the company. ALBERT Dennis the menace. What’s up my friend? Dennis lifts up his phone to witness, Albert on Facetime. DENNIS Not much boss. ALBERT Come on don’t call me boss, that’s 90’s culture. Unless of course...you’re doing it ironically. Are you? DENNIS Maybe. ALBERT I like your style. Dude, you want a Naked juice? DENNIS Sure. 7. ALBERT I will ShamAmazon a bunch over then. These things have a ton of sugar but they’ve been proven to boost company morale by like, a lot of percents. So, how is everything? DENNIS Everything is good. I go to sleep sometimes and I hear the automated systems, like, in my dreams. ALBERT Hmm. Yeah. You talk to Langman about that? DENNIS Whose Langman? ALBERT He’s the company psychiatrist we just hired. DENNIS I wasn’t aware. ALBERT Oh yeah. I’ll make you an appointment, if you want. Anyway, I got a fortune 500 company with an impending IPO to nurture. Sayonara my friend! Albert hops onto a Hoverboard and we are watching from his POV as he starts to ride away, then abruptly he turns the lens back around on himself. ALBERT And when I say Sayonara, that’s the kind of thing I would say to any employee. Not just cuz you’re-- DENNIS Chinese? ALBERT No, not just cuz you’re my friend, Dennis. You are my friend, Dennis whether you know it or not yet, you are. See you ‘round Amigo! Albert wheels away, waving to another set of employees on multiple phone screens in front of his apparatus. 8. DENNIS Sayonara is Japanese. INT. DENNIS’S HOME OFFICE - AFTER LUNCH Dennis drinks a Diet Coke and picks up the phone. He initiates his computer, adjusts the microphone, then dials into his phone. Dennis speaks into the computer’s extended microphone. DENNIS How we exist thought to thought is how we stay sane. Having one connective idea to the next and - if not connective - than at least to be in the same ballpark, wearing the colors of the home team. He watches his words appear on the computer screen. DENNIS (into microphone again) Delete that. AUTOMATED SYSTEM (V.O.) Thank you for calling Kysna Insurance. Our office hours are nine am to five PM Central Mountain Time. If you would like to speak to a live operator during normal business hours then please call back. Dennis hits a hold button on his phone and speaks into the microphone. DENNIS Testing system 409KO with Computerized Male Voice, Caucasian American tonality, for Kysna Insurance. Found the wait time between entering the last four digits of my social security number and the following prompt to be abrupt, leaving minimal room for a slight amount of space to be desired.

  • “I Know That We the New Slaves”: an Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’S Yeezus
    1 “I KNOW THAT WE THE NEW SLAVES”: AN ILLUSION OF LIFE ANALYSIS OF KANYE WEST’S YEEZUS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY MARGARET A. PARSON DR. KRISTEN MCCAULIFF - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: “I Know That We the New Slaves”: An Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’s Yeezus. STUDENT: Margaret Parson DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication Information and Media DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 108 This work utilizes an Illusion of Life method, developed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001) to analyze the 2013 album Yeezus by Kanye West. Through analyzing the lyrics of the album, several major arguments are made. First, Kanye West’s album Yeezus creates a new ethos to describe what it means to be a Black man in the United States. Additionally, West discusses race when looking at Black history as the foundation for this new ethos, through examples such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nina Simone’s rhetoric, references to racist cartoons and movies, and discussion of historical events such as apartheid. West also depicts race through lyrics about the imagined Black male experience in terms of education and capitalism. Second, the score of the album is ultimately categorized and charted according to the structures proposed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001). Ultimately, I argue that Yeezus presents several unique sounds and emotions, as well as perceptions on Black life in America. 3 Table of Contents Chapter One

    kanye west yeezus clean version download Kanye west yeezus clean version download. Direct working Kanye West Yeezus Album Download Zip 2013. These are the immeasurably lofty stakes Kanye deals in on Yeezus, his sixth solo album. His intensity here has a heightened desperation as he howls into the void, but the Chicago native has always been beguiled by the view from above. The album is something of a razor-sharpened take on 2008's distressed 808s & Heartbreak and marks a blunt break with the filigreed maximalism Kanye so thoroughly nailed on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. For Kanye, there's purpose in repulsion. And on Yeezus, he trades out smooth soul and anthemic choruses for jarring electro, acid house, and industrial grind while delivering some of his most lewd and heart-crushing tales yet. This is willful provocation that Ice Cube, Madonna, and Trent Reznor could all beproud of. Referencing the sound of Yeezus in September 2013, West stated: "For me as Kanye West, I got to Bleep shit up. I'm going to take music and try to make it three dimensional. I'm not here to make easy listening, easily programmable music". Artist: Kanye West Album: Yeezus Year: 2013 Genre: Hip-Hop Quality: 320 kbps. Track list: 01. On Sight 02. Black Skinhead 03.

As producer Rick Rubin explains in his new song annotations for Genuis, Kanye West is both "careful and spontaneous" when he's creating music, which means that he usually creates several different options for one song before choosing the final version.

  • Restless Supermarket Excerpt
    THE RESTLESS SUPERMARKET Ivan Vladislavić LONDON · NEW YORK A salesman buggering a pink elephant (excuse my Bulgarian). Not a sight one sees every day, even on the streets of Johannesburg – the Golden City as it were, Egoli as it are, to quote my pal Wessels, the last of the barnacles. As the century declines to a conclusion one has come to expect undignifed behaviour as a matter of course, but this was an ‘all-time low’ (as the newspapers would put it). I see it before me now as if it were yesterday. I say he was a salesman because of the pinstriped suit, the shirt-tails hanging out behind, the tie drooping on his chest like a slice of pizza. Old-fashioned associations on my part. He might just as well have been a popular star, or a lawyer with a passing interest in human rights, or the head of a syndicate for stealing motor cars. Tese days, the men in lounge suits are good-for-nothings more ofen than not, while the real businessmen are waltzing around in Bermuda shorts and espadrilles. Whoever he was, he had hold of the elephant on the pavement outside the Jumbo Liquor Market in Kotze Street, gripping its shocking pink buttocks in his paws and grinding his groin against its unyielding fbre- glass tail. I stopped to stare. A lifetime of practice has turned me into one of the world’s most shameless scrutineers. Te joker’s eyes were screwed shut in rapture, but the elephant’s were like saucers, with painted pupils as black as draughtsmen rattling in them.

    Howdy, Texans! It’s the final weekend of Fiesta in San Antonio, and one of the Alamo City’s hot- test clubs, Heat – get it…hottest clubs….Heat….moving on – is bringing in two world-renowned DJ’s to close out ten days of fun and frivolity that make SA such a happenin’ place each April. Our coverman, Roland Belmares, provides the hip-swaying, groin-gyrating tunes tomorrow night that have kept the party going around the world for close to a decade, while our feature fella Seth Gold works his twelve inchers to perfection this very evening. Clubs throughout San Antonio will be laying it on thick this weekend, so hop on into your ride and make a bee-line for the River City for a party that you won’t soon forget. San Antonio’s not the only town that’ll be rockin’ this weekend, as Galveston welcomes WET Galveston 2009 on the island’s East Beach – a six-hour dance party in the sun and on the sand on Saturday that’s devoted to helping the city’s residents continue their recovery efforts after Hurricane Ike. There’s nothing better than dancing on hot sand, and there’s nothing better on the Island than being WET! Rounding out our content this week are This Week’s Best Bets, Chris Allen’s Groovelines, This Week’s Web, Ask the Man, a tasty edition of This Week’s Porn that features my currently-favorite object of affection, Dimitri Romanov, This Week’s Scopes and, of course, This Week’s Tea – which returns to its regularly-scheduled format of tidbits and tales after a trial-run (read brain fart) of photos only that registered more negative comments in our suggestion box than George W used to get in his inbox.
