(Excerpt from my 2021 sitcom, Living with Gatsby)
DORIS, a 22 year old grad student walks into her apartment after a long day of work. The place is trashed.
DORIS: The place is trashed!
GATSBY, 29, is lying on the couch with a lampshade over his head.
GATSBY: (mildly drunk) Mgggmmm old sport
(HORRENDOUS LAUGH TRACK)
DORRIS: OoooOOh! You better get this cleaned up before Sydney comes back! She'll be PISSED!
GATSBY hits the speed dial button for Nick on his phone. He mumbles "jjjggggg old sport" into the phone and passes out on the couch again.
NICK, arriving at the door: GATSBYYYYYY!! What are you doing?!?!?
GATSBY: I threw a rager last night. Think I made it to first base with Daisy.
NICK: GATSBY!! Clean this up. Dorris will move out if you don't, and then you won't get to live across the street from that girl you like! You'll have to live with TOM instead!!
GATSBY takes the lampshade off of his head, and the camera pans over to an exposed, green lightbulb.
