My “Mad Men” Spec script (Starring me, Adrian Chen!)

SCENE: The office of advertising executive Donald Draper.

DONALD DRAPER: Joan, I’d like you to meet our new junior executive.  His name is Adrian Chen.
JOAN HOLLOWAY (AKA THE HOT REDHEADED SECRETARY): Hello, Mr. Chen.
ADRIAN CHEN: Hello, Joan.
DONALD DRAPER: Now, Joan.  I’m going to ask you to do something.  And I’m going to warn you, it may sound a little weird.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Anything for you, Mr. Draper.
DONALD DRAPER: I need you to kiss Adrian, here.  Hard.  On the lips.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Kiss him?  But… why?
DONALD DRAPER: It helps me think of ideas for advertisements.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Mr. Draper, I don’t think I understand…
DONALD DRAPER: Joan?
JOAN HOLLOWAY: …yes?
DONALD DRAPER: You do remember this is the 1960s, right?
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Yes…
DONALD DRAPER: That’s a good girl.  Now, go ahead.  Don’t be shy.
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY kiss.)
DONALD DRAPER: I just thought of three good ideas for advertisements.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Great!  May I go now?
DONALD DRAPER: No, they were ideas for other products than the one I’ve specifically been assigned to come up with ideas for today.  What I really need is for you and Mr. Chen to start having sex.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: But—
DONALD DRAPER: 1960s!
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Yes, Mr. Draper.
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY begin to have passionate sex on the floor.)
DONALD DRAPER: That’s it.  Excellent.  I think… I’ve… almost… got… an… idea… Nope.  No, definitely not. That’s not right at all.  Joan, I need you on TOP of Mr. Chen.  There you go.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Mr. Draper, how much longer do we need to do this for?
DONALD DRAPER: (Looks at his watch.) I’d say about 55 more minutes, with three six minute breaks in between.
ADRIAN CHEN:  Wow.  The world really HAS gone mad! (Winks at camera.)
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY continue to have passionate sex on the floor for the rest of the episode.)

THE END.
