Overheard at Table 3: Kids These Days

Writer 1: So then we have the twins come out as transgender.


Writer 2: I thought we were going to go with straight-up gay.


Writer 3: "Straight-up gay" - good one!


Writer 1: No, they're going to have their 8th birthday party in episode 3 this season, they need to come out as transgender, only Lucas will want to start transitioning NOW and Marcus will want to wait until they're closer to puberty.


Writer 3: Marcus always is the more cautious one.


Writer 2: Then we can have a big argument where Lucas will say Marcus will want to back out when Lucas is already halfway transitioned ....


Writer 1: ... which will break the pact they made in Season 1 Episode 10 to


Writer 3: ... always be a unit.  Right.


Writer 2: Cool, that could take up a solid 10 of screen time.


Writer 3: We could have the argument right through the last 20 of the episode.  Start at minute 9, go through the end.


Writer 2: Filler?


Writer 1: We still have Becca's subplot.


Writer 3: The cutting?


Writer 2: I thought we agreed to move on from cutting by Epi 2 this season.


Writer 1: Whoa whoa whoa, didn't you guys forget?   Her and Charlie?


Writer 3: "Lust for Grandpa" ?  Are you sure we really want to go with that?


Writer 2: Pushing the limits.  That's what we do.   13 year old girl wants to lose her cherry to her 60 year old grandpa.


Writer 3: Mike told me we still haven't gotten her parents to sign off on that yet.


Writer 1: Let Legal deal with that.  We're writing it in.  By the time we're shooting the episode her parents will be on board.  The studio will kick in a 20 grand bonus.


Writer 3: I'm sure if they bump it up to 30g the parents will let us film her full frontal.


Writer 1: God I love working on this show!
