052611 The Other Hand

The dark side of growing up on sitcoms (not to mention MacGyver, The A-Team and Loony Tunes) is that somewhere, deep down, I believe that any awkward situation can avoided through the implementation of a wacky plan.

TRANSCRIPT:

#73 THE OTHER HAND

Armstrong Hotel hallway: Tom is standing in a towel outside his hotel room, talking to himself. Behind him is his room door, and to the right is a little window.

PANEL 1

TOM: (looking to his left, very disappointed) Okay Tom, you are going to be late. Just go downstairs and get a new key.

And hope someone is at the desk.

And that no one sees you.

PANEL 2

TOM: (looking to his right, uncertain about this new idea) On the other hand... You could go out window, swing over to your room, get dressed and be on time without anyone ever knowing.

Panel 3

Exterior of the hotel, several stories up. Tom is hanging from the window sill.

TOM: Why do you always listen to the other hand? The other hand is a fucking moron!
