I dream in TV shows

One of my favorite shows these days is called The League.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, The League is a show on the FX Network that follows the fortunes (and failings) of a group of 6 long-time friends in Chicago that participate in a fantasy football league.  They mix football regularly into their every-day lives.  Often it's football first, career and family a distant 2nd and 3rd. 

Anyway, last night I had a vivid dream about a scene from The League.  Since I've seen all the shows, I know this isn't an actual scene from the show, but it played out just like it.  So, I've decided to try and transcribe it here.

FADE IN:

               INT. KEVIN AND JENNY'S BEDROOM

               KEVIN and JENNY are in their bed having sex.

                                   JENNY

                      OH MY GOD! YES BABY!

               As JENNY screams, KEVIN has a triumphant look on his face.

               EXT. KEVIN AND JENNY'S HOUSE

                                   JENNY

                      Kevin, what the hell are you doing?!?

               EXT. GIBSON'S BAR

               PETE AND RUXIN are laughing.

                                   PETE

                      You did what?

               INT. GIBSON'S BAR

                                   KEVIN

                      (shamefully)

                      I did the Ickey Shuffle

                                   RUXIN

                      And why were you doing the Ickey

                      Shuffle?

                                   KEVIN

                      After Jenny had an orgasm, I guess I

                      got excited and decided to celebrate.

                                   PETE

                      So you did an endzone celebration

                      while you were having sex? And a

                      remarkably outdated one at that.

                                   KEVIN

                      Yes.

               ANDRE approaches with a glass of wine.

                                   ANDRE

                      What are we talking about?

                                   PETE

                      Kevin gave his wife an orgasm and

                      decided to do the Ickey Shuffle to

                      celebrate.

                                   RUXIN

                      Yeah, I'd throw a flag for

                      unsportsmanlike conduct for that.

                                   ANDRE

                      Well, I'm old school.  Just hand the

                      ball to the ref.  Act like you've been

                      there before and you plan to come

                      back.

                                   RUXIN

                      Well, that leaves Andre out.

                                   PETE

                      So, I've done the endzone celebration

                      during sex too.

                                   KEVIN

                      So, what's your sexual endzone

                      celebration.

                                   PETE

                      I pulled out a Sharpie and signed my

                      condom like TO.

               RUXIN, KEVIN and ANDRE gasp in disgust.

                                   ANDRE

                      Wait, where did you pull out the

                      Sharpie from?

               As PETE gives a sly grin, RUXIN, KEVIN and ANDRE turn and gag
               with dry heaves.

                                   KEVIN

                      That is disgusting Pete.

                                   PETE

                      WHAT!  She was from France, I thought

                      that's how they did it. Anyway, you

                      didn't seem to notice.

                                   KEVIN

                      What are you taking about? Wait, not my

                      Big Bertha?  Oh God.

                                   RUXIN

                      I did the props once, got out my cell

                      phone and made a call like Joe Horn.

                                   KEVIN

                      Who did you call?

                                   RUXIN

                      Andre's mom.

                                   ANDRE

                      Ok.  Haha.

                                   PETE

                      So, did she pick up?

                                   RUXIN

                      No, I just handed her the phone.

                                   ANDRE

                      Ok, that's not funny.

                                   RUXIN

                      Take it easy Andre, I wasn't having

                      sex with your mom.  I was having sex

                      with your sister, your mom was just

                      watching.

               ANDRE lets out a groan as the rest laugh.

                                   RUXIN

                      No, about all I can get away with is

                      doing a haka.

                                   KEVIN

                      That dance thing the rugby players do

                      before the games?

                                   RUXIN

                      Yeah, Sophia says that if I use props,

                      I'm just bringing attention to myself,

                      it's not about the team success.

               TACO creeps up behind Kevin

                                   TACO

                      Hey guys, what are we talking about?

                                   KEVIN

                      JESUS, TACO!

                                   PETE

                      Sexual endzone celebrations.

                                   ANDRE

                      Yeah, Kevin does the Ickey Shuffle,

                      Pete uses props and I just say act

                      like you've been there and you plan to

                      go back.

                                   KEVIN

                      Jeez, Andre.  You sound just like

                      those cranky old white dudes you see

                      on TV, "Football was much better back

                      in my day before helmets, cheerleaders

                      and the forward pass."

                                   TACO

                      No, no, Andre's right.

                                   ANDRE

                      Thank, you Taco.

                                   TACO

                      No problem.  If we're talking about

                      Andre's mom's endzone, I've been there

                      before.  And I definitely plan on

                      going back.

               ANDRE drops his head and lets out a groan.

Now, that's a pretty long scene.  But that was pretty much my dream.  I've tacked some stuff in some spots, but this shows just how crazy my dreams are.  Here's just a little clip from the show to give you an idea of what it's like.
