Bryan Fogel (Playwright): (The following is the transcript of the phone conversation between Bryan and Sam that occurred on March 13th, 2003 at 11:53pm as Bryan sat down at his computer to write his bio.)
Sam: Hello?
Bryan: Dude, I'm screwed! I've been working on this bio thing all night and I can't come up with anything!
S: What do you mean? I've seen your resume. You've done a ton of stuff.
B: Lies. All lies!
S: What about "Eyes Wide Shut?"
B: That wasn't the movie! That was a dramatic recreation of a first year USC student film! I still haven't gotten the tape!
S: Weren't you a theater major at the University of Colorado?
B: I think so. I was too stoned to remember any of it.
S: What about the play I saw you in? You were great!
B: What? In "Esperanto?" I was an Argentinean surgeon dissecting a corpse! And you were the only one who came! Jesus, Sam! Do you realize the kind of credits that everybody else has that's involved with our show? What the hell are they doing with us?
S: Bryan, calm down!
B: How am I supposed to book anything? My agent is operating out of a Motel 6 in Tarzana!
S: Look, we've fooled everybody so far. What's there to worry about?

Sam Wolfson (Playwright): (The following is the transcript of the phone conversation between Sam and Bryan three hours later as Sam sat down to write his bio.)
Bryan: (waking up) Hello?
Sam: You're right! We're dead. We're so dead.
B: What time is it?
S: It's three in the morning and I got nothing!
B: Can we just talk about this tomorrow? I've got a Cool Ranch Doritos callback at like, 9:00am.
S: Tell me! What have I done?
B: I don't know, man. What have you done?
S: I studied theater at Northwestern University. That's gotta count for something.
B: Yeah, 80 grand in the toilet. Do you think when you audition for a sitcom they want to see your monologue from "Agamemnon?"
S: Oh, that's good. I can put that. Now what about all the plays I did in high school? In ninth grade, I was a wicked Ichabod Crane.
B: Dude, I gotta get some sleep. I'm packing down handfuls of Cool Ranch Doritos in six hours. Besides, none of it matters anyway. Look at Colin Farrell. He went to bed one night, woke up the next day and he was famous. Just take a couple Xanax and we'll talk tomorrow.
S: Okay. Later. Ooh, wait! How about that extra work I did on "JAG". Does that count?
