THE LIAM SMITH SHOW
Episode 1.21: "Booby Trap"
Written by Jason Donner
INT. JASON DONNER'S LUXURY PENTHOUSE APARTMENT
DONNER is standing in the middle of the room looking quite distraught as if
he is on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
DONNER
What do you MEAN you're leaving!?
A man walks past him with a suitcase. It is CAPEMAN.
CAPEMAN
Oh, just for a week. I'll be back.
DONNER
But... But... What is this city going to do without you!? I
mean... just a couple of weeks ago we were invaded by an army of
zombies! Come to think of it though... I don't think you lifted
a finger during that whole incident... but that's beside the
point! What if another crisis breaks out! Capeman, this is no
time for you to go off gallivanting to Hollywood just because
some guy named Alan Smithee gave you a call!
CAPEMAN
Everyone deserves a week off... even me... Capeman.
DONNER
But you hardly ever do anything heroic! Why, you've been
sitting around the penthouse for two weeks sulking and
mumbling to yourself about Doctor Wham and Cosmic Weasel!
CAPEMAN
Lousy no good...
[a beat]
Look, it's not as if you care or anything! I know you... you
don't care about anything but yourself! That's why you're still
here! You're just suckling at my teet!
Donner sticks his finger in Capeman's face.
DONNER
DON'T ever talk to me like that again, CAPEMAN! You're
forgetting... I can expose you to the world! I know who you
REALLY are!
Capeman slaps Donner's finger out of his face.
CAPEMAN
...and don't YOU forget... DONNER! I know who YOU really are!
We're both in the same boat, aren't we, bro?
They stare at each other.
CAPEMAN
I'll be back in a week... if you need me, call my cel phone.
Capeman marches out onto the balcony and flys away. Donner watches him go.
DONNER
Pompous strutting fool. Your day of reckoning is coming and
when that time comes, I'm going to make sure you fall and fall
hard!
The phone rings. Donner answers.
DONNER
Hello?
[a pause]
What do you mean you could...!?
[a pause]
Oh, right... Superhearing. Sorry! I was just thinking out
loud, Capeman!
CUT TO
INT. LIAM'S APARTMENT
Liam, wearing a dress shirt and tie, answers the door to find Stacy VaVoom
standing there.
STACY
Hi, Liam... nice tie.
LIAM
Yeah, it's for a celebrity blackjack tournament later tonight. I
spent over fifty bucks on it!
STACY
I didn't ask for the obvious exposition, Liam. I'm missing my
dark blue jacket. Did I leave it here last night when Gary and
I were making out on your couch?
LIAM
Yeah... it's over here.
Liam hands the jacket to Stacy.
LIAM
You know, now that you mention it... I don't mean to sound rude
or anything, but about last night, you see... I was kinda
offended when you and Gary started petting in front of everyone.
I mean, I invited everyone down to watch Tarzan... not
to watch you and Gary exchange saliva... and it was kind of
embarrassing with both of Mister Hilter's eight-year old nieces
there.
STACY
Liam... I think it's obvious what's going on!
LIAM
It is?
STACY
You're jealous!
LIAM
I am?
Stacy starts to put on the jacket.
STACY
You've never been able to accept the fact that Gary and I love
each other. I mean, sure... he's got more potmarks than Highway
66 and his hair is so oily, Arabs are fighting over it... but I
love him and he loves me!
Stacy tries to zip up the jacket but it appears the zipper is stuck.
LIAM
Stacy, I think you're reading a little too much into this.
Stacy can't zip up the jacket.
STACY
Great, now you've got me so angry I can't work my zipper!
LIAM
Here, let me try...
Liam walks over and starts tugging on the zipper.
STACY
You know what your problem is, Liam. You're not willing to open
up to other people... letting them know the real you. You need
to get closer to people!
At that moment, the zipper comes loose and catches Liam's tie. Liam is
jerked foreword and his face becomes buried in Stacy's breasts.
STACY
I don't mean NOW!
LIAM
[muffled]
Gah! I'm stuck!
STACY
What do you mean you're stuck! Get off of me, you pervert!
LIAM
I can't! My tie got stuck in your zipper!
STACY
Oh, for God's sake...
Stack tugs and tugs on the zipper. It won't come loose.
STACY
Uh-oh... you ARE stuck!
LIAM
I can't breathe!
STACY
Okay... keep calm! I'm sure we can figure out a way out of this
before anyone sees us!
At that moment, MISTER HILTER walks in.
HILTER
Liam, I...
He sees Liam's face stuck in Stacy's knockers.
HILTER
WHOA! What the holy hopped up hell is going on here!?
STACY
Uh... well... it's uh... Not what it looks like.
LIAM
No, it's not, Mister Hilter... I seem to have fallen into a...
booby trap!

FADE IN
LIAM'S APARTMENT - A FEW MINUTES LATER
Liam's tie is still stuck in Stacy's jacket zipper and Liam's face is still
buried in Stacy's yabos. Mister Hilter has grabbed Liam and is pulling one
direction, HARRY THE HANDYMAN has Stacy is pulling in the opposite direction.
STACY
I don't think this is working, guys.
HARRY
You know, I've been a handyman for almost twenty years and never
have I ever had to remove a man from a zipper... well... there
was that one time, but it was too gruesome to recount.
[a beat]
Okay... this guy, right? He was taking a leak and he zipped up
too fast...
HILTER
HARRY!
HARRY
Huh?
HILTER
Look, not to belittle you or your experiences... but we don't
care. Liam, how are you doing?
LIAM
[muffled]
Mommy! Can I have a chocolate?
Stacy smacks Liam on top of the head.
LIAM
Sorry... I guess my mind was wandering.
STACY
Oh... this is TERRIBLE! I just know what's going to happen
next! Gary is going to show up and see Liam with his face
buried in my boobs and he's going to think that something's
going on and he'll be crushed! I can't let that happen!
HARRY
Right. Well, I see no alternative... we'll have to cut the tie
off.
LIAM
NO! It's a fifty dollar tie!
STACY
But, Liam... it's the only way!
LIAM
No! I am putting my foot down right here and right now! You
are not cutting this tie! No sir! No how! No freakin' way!
Mister Hilter reaches around Liam and grabs the zipper.
HILTER
Maybe if we try to zip the zipper all the way up.
He does so and his hand clasps down on one of Stacy's breasts.
STACY
WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
HILTER
Oh dear... I'm sorry, Stacy. My cuff got caught in your zipper!
Mister Hilter struggles to free himself. As he does so, he knocks Liam in
the head four or five times.
LIAM
OW! OW! OW! Stop it!
HILTER
This is so embarrassing! I can't seem to get free!
STACY
Can you at least move your hand?
Mister Hilter tries to move his hand but only ends up fondling Stacy's boob.
STACY
Could this get WORSE?
Liam starts snoring.
STACY
Yes, it can... Liam is drooling.
FADE TO
EXT - HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA
It's a beautiful sunny day in Hollywood. Beautiful women and men roam the
street looking for their big break as the massive Hollywood sign stands in
the background. CAPEMAN flies through the air and towards a massive studio.
A sign that says "Slightly Warped Pictures" can be seen.
INT - A HOLLYWOOD OFFICE
The doors are blown inward and Capeman enters the room. He looks at the
secretary and smiles smugly.
CAPEMAN
Sorry... I shouldn't have knocked so hard.
SECRETARY
Ah... Capeman. Mr. Smithee is expecting you. Go right inside.
Capeman reaches for the door. The secretary quickly gets up and stops him.
SECRETARY
HOW ABOUT... Uh... How about I get that for you?
CAPEMAN
Ah yes... thank you.
The secretary opens the door and Capeman goes inside.
INT. ALAN SMITHEE'S OFFICE
ALAN SMITHEE rises and greets Capeman. He leads him to a chair at a desk and
sits.
ALAN SMITHEE
Ah, Capeman! Come in! Come in! I've heard an awful lot about
you! You and your constant battles against Senestra
Malevolous... your battle against Spicezilla... Janet Reno...
Militant Feminist... Disgruntled Postman... and all of the other
rouges in your gallery are legendary! By the way, where's
Decoy, your sidekick?
CAPEMAN
Dead.
ALAN SMITHEE
Dead!?
CAPEMAN
Dead... TIRED! Yes... he was so tired he decided to stay in Las
Vegas. Dead tired... yeah, that's the ticket. I covered THAT
quite well.
ALAN SMITHEE
Regardless... Capeman, I called you here because I have an offer
you would be a fool to refuse.
CAPEMAN
What kind of offer?
ALAN SMITHEE
Picture this... a big-budget Hollywood feature film! And YOU
are the reason it happens!
Capeman's face lights up.
CAPEMAN
You mean... you're going to make my movie? The script I sent
in?
ALAN SMITHEE
Uh... script? I don't believe I've seen a script.
CAPEMAN
Ah, well... let me pitch it to you now.
ALAN SMITHEE
But, I...
CAPEMAN
Here's the pitch... it's the early 20th century, oh... say...
1912-ish, and two lovers meet on a large luxury cruise boat.
A boat of Titanic proportions if you catch my drift.
ALAN SMITHEE
I think that's been done.
CAPEMAN
And then... the Loc Ness monster attacks the boat and the
boat's captain is given a magical lantern in which a genie
lives...
ALAN SMITHEE
I don't...
CAPEMAN
Now, you'd think that the genie would help the passengers beat
the Loc Ness Monster, right? Wrong! It's an EVIL genie who
turns the officers into those little strawberry-filled pop-tarts!
So, then the guy who was in love with the woman suddenly
realizes that he is really an leprechaun! A really tall
leprechaun! And he and his leprechaun brethren storm the boat
to fight both the Loc Ness Monster and the evil genie!
ALAN SMITHEE
Uh, Capeman?
CAPEMAN
And then... THE GROUP SEX!
ALAN SMITHEE
Capeman, I hate to sound critical... but your idea sucks. I
mean, no normal person in their right mind would pay to see some
garbage about the Loc Ness Monster and a genie on the Titanic
fighting an army of leprechauns! No offense. I called you here
because my studio is interested in doing a movie ABOUT you!
Capeman is intrigued.
CAPEMAN
About me?
ALAN SMITHEE
Yes, Capeman! Where did you come from? What is the real you
about? Think of it... Capeman: The Movie! It could make
billions!
CAPEMAN
Hmmm... a movie about me? How intriguing. Why, a Capeman
movie could be just the thing to bring a bit of culture to the
barren landscape of summer movies!
ALAN SMITHEE
...or we could just throw something together and rewrite it a
dozen times until we have a laughable script, paper-thin
characters, and stupid one-liner dialogue but at the same time
have a script jam-packed with toyetic merchandise we could
market and make even more billions! I mean, consider Batman
and Robin...
CAPEMAN
Bleech! Do I have to?
ALAN SMITHEE
That movie was a tremendous flop, but it made half a billion on
toys and fast food tie-ins.
CAPEMAN
Let's see... I could make a movie with heart and soul... or I
could sell out and run with a mint? What to do? What to do?
What to do?
A little DEVIL CAPEMAN appears on Capeman's left shoulder.
DEVIL CAPEMAN
What are you waiting for? To hell with morals! Say yes! Take
the money!
An ANGEL CAPEMAN appears on Capeman's right shoulder.
ANGEL CAPEMAN
I agree. Take the money.
Angel Capeman and Devil Capeman vanish in a puff of smoke.
CAPEMAN
I'll do it!
ALAN SMITHEE
Eeeeeeeeexcellent! BWAAAAAA... HA! HA! HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAAA!
Capeman stares at Alan Smithee who stops laughing and looks nervous.
ALAN SMITHEE
Sorry... I just remembered something funny I saw on ABC's TGIF
line up.
Capeman looks suspicious.
ALAN SMITHEE
D'ah mean... FOX's Sunday Night?
Capeman nods and smiles. The scene freezes and turns black and white. The
camera zooms out to reveal that we are now looking at a picture in a book. A
hand closes the book.
INT. A ROOM
LEONARD NIMOY is sitting at a desk with the book we just saw. He looks at
the camera.
LEONARD NIMOY
And so, Capeman made a deal to make his movie and it was
released the following summer... and so, our story ends. And
so, our visit must end. Good-night.
The stage darkens. A STAGEHAND walks up to Leonard Nimoy.
STAGEHAND
Uh, sir? You're forgetting about Liam, Stacy, and Mister
Hilter. They're still trapped in Stacy's bazooms.
LEONARD NIMOY
Oh, uh... W-Well... I'll just go get something from my car.
Leonard Nimoy runs to the door. After a second, the sound of a car door
opening and closing and then the sound of tires screeching and a car zooming
away can be heard.
STAGEHAND
I don't think he's coming back!
FADE OUT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FADE IN
LIAM'S APARTMENT
With some difficulty, Liam, Stacy, and Mister Hilter have managed to sit on
the couch. Liam's face is still buried in Stacy's melons, and Hilter still
has his hand on her tah-tah. Harry the Handyman looks on.
HARRY
What about if I get a can of WD-40 and just lubricate that
sucker till it comes loose?
HILTER
No, it's not that the zipper's stuck, it's just that it's got so
much fabric caught in the teeth. Here, hand me a pair of
scissors and I'll...
LIAM
[muffled]
NO! You are NOT cutting my fifty dollar tie!
STACY
Oh, will you STOP being such a wimp?
There is a knock at the door. Everyone freezes.
LIAM
[calls out]
Who's there!?
GARY'S VOICE
Hey, Liam. It's me!
STACY
[frantically whispers]
Oh no! It's Gary! I just KNEW this was going to happen! He
can't see me like this! I've got to hide!
Stacy jumps up and drags Liam and Hilter across the room.
STACY
Where can I go?
LIAM
[muffled]
Go in the bedroom! We can hide in there.
HILTER
Harry, go let Gary in.
Before Liam, Hilter, and Stacy can hide, Harry starts opening the door.
HILTER
Not NOW, you idiot!
Harry opens the door. Liam and Stacy get inside the bedroom, but Hilter
freezes in the doorway, his arm inside the room and out of view. GARY THE
FANBOY enters.
GARY
Hey, Harry... Mister Hitler.
HILTER
HILTER!
GARY
Whatever. Where's Liam?
HILTER
Liam?
GARY
No, Liam. I heard him in here.
HARRY
Oh, he means LIAM! Well, it's a funny and complicated story...
You see, Liam...
HILTER
...is SICK! Yes, that's it. He's sick.
HARRY
Oh, I was going to say he was abducted by aliens.
HILTER
He's SICK, Harry.
GARY
Oh, that's too bad. What's wrong with him?
HARRY
I got this one! He's got cancer!
GARY
He's got WHAT!?
HILTER
CANCKER sores! Very bad canker sores!
HARRY
And he's got diphtheria!
HILTER
Uh... D-DIARRHEA! DIARRHEA!
HARRY
...and a really bad case of syphilis.
HILTER
SNIFFLES!
HARRY
...and then there's the yeast infection...
HILTER
Harry! Stop fooling around!
HARRY
Fooling?
HILTER
Liam has the flu. THAT'S ALL Liam has. THE FLU!
GARY
Oh... Can I see him?
HILTER
See who?
GARY
Liam.
HILTER
Right! Liam! Uh... you can't! He's... very contagious!
Liam starts coughing to help support Hilter's lie, but since his face is
still buried in Stacy's guzongas, he ends up making a farting sound in
addition to the coughs.
HILTER
...and flatulent.
GARY
Oh, well... I'll stay out here then. Have you seen Stacy
anywhere?
HARRY
I did.
HILTER
HARRY!
GARY
You did? Where is she?
Harry realizes his mistake.
HARRY
Uh... she's... she went to eat.
GARY
Where?
HARRY
Hooters.
GARY
Hooters?
HILTER
She... uh... loves those chicken wings!
GARY
Uh-huh. Well... I came up here to invite her to go to dinner
with me, but I guess she's all ready taken care of. Do you want
to go, Harry?
HARRY
Uh... I don't want to leave Liam alone... in his condition. You
know... the cyst and all.
GARY
I see... What about you, Mister Hilter?
HILTER
I have my hands full.
Mister Hilter looks nervously at his hidden arm.
GARY
All the same. I guess It'll be good to get some time to myself.
I mean, I like Stacy and all... but she's such a hanger-on and
stuff. I mean, I can't go ten minutes without her invading my
space and wanting a kiss or a hug or this or that... she's
become a ball and chain all ready! Oh, how I long for the day
when it was just me, Star Trek, and the internet chat
rooms.
Suddenly, Stacy bursts out of the door dragging Liam and Hilter behind her.
STACY
A BALL AND CHAIN, HUH!?
GARY
STACY!?
STACY
Invading your SPACE, huh!?
GARY
Liam!? What are you doing with your head in my girlfriend's
dirty pillows!?
LIAM
[muffled]
There's a perfectly good explanation for all of this!
STACY
You stay out of this, Liam! This is about Gary and me!
GARY
Stacy, will you PLEASE tell me what's going on? Why is Mister
Hitler grabbing one of your jubblies?
STACY
Quit changing the subject, you rat! So, you think I'm a ball
and chain, huh? Well... this ball and chain is handing you the
key and letting you go, boy!
GARY
You're what?
HARRY
I think she's breaking up with you.
GARY
You're breaking up with me?
STACY
Yes, Gary... we're THROUGH!
Gary gets mad.
GARY
Oh yeah!? Well, We'll just see about that! I don't need you,
Stacy! I can get another gorgeous woman in no time! You'll
see! All of you will see!
Gary storms out the door.
STACY
What did I ever see in that man?
HILTER
I think you went out with Gary as an unconscious attempt at the
domination of a man with a low self-esteem and who had no chance
of ever having a normal relationship with a normal woman.
Stacy growls, grabs Hilter's hand, and rips it loose from her breast. the
cuff of his shirt is still stuck in her jacket.
LIAM
May I remind you that this is a fifty dollar tie and I haven't
said anything yet?
Stacy grabs the zipper and pulls on it angrily. It doesn't come loose, but
she does smack Liam on the nose several times.
LIAM
[crying]
Mercy! Uncle! Uncle!
STACY
Why does stuff like this have to happen to me?
HARRY
Actually, I've been noticing that something odd and entertaining
happens to us at least once every two weeks. Isn't that weird?
HILTER
Well... aisde from the fact that we've just destroyed a six
month romance in the space of five minutes, we can't ignore the
fact that Liam is still trapped.
STACY
This would be a lot easier if you'd just let us cut the tie.
LIAM
NO! This is a...
STACY, HILTER, & HARRY
...fifty dollar tie. We KNOW!
LIAM
Right.
STACY
Liam, this is starting to make me uncomfortable.
LIAM
YOU'RE uncomfortable? My back is killing me and it's getting
hot down here!
STACY
I know... you're getting all sweaty.
LIAM
Oh... this that me?
Mister Hilter takes Harry aside.
HILTER
Look, Harry, this is ridiculous. I say we end this now.
HARRY
How?
HILTER
You grab Liam, I take the scissors and we cut the tie.
HARRY
But it's a fifty dollar tie!
Mister Hilter puts his hand to his ear.
HILTER
Shhh! Harry! Do you hear that?
HARRY
What is it?
HILTER
That's the sound of me not giving a CRAP about Liam's fifty
dollar tie!
He picks up the scissors and motions for Harry to follow. They walk
innocently over to Liam and Stacy who are talking.
STACY
YES, they're REAL!
HILTER
Excuse us, Stacy. Harry, now.
Harry stands there.
HILTER
Harry?
HARRY
What?
HILTER
Now!
HARRY
Huh?
HILTER
GRAB LIAM, YOU IDIOT!
HARRY
Oh!
Harry grabs Liam and Hilter readies the scissors.
LIAM
No! No! It's a fifty dollar tie!
HILTER & STACY
WE DON'T CARE!!!
Hilter goes in with the scissors. Suddenly, Liam jumps backwards and the tie
comes loose. It hangs in Stacy's jacket zipper.
STACY
What the hell?
Stacy looks down at the tie.
STACY
It's... It's a CLIP-ON!!!
LIAM
Oh yeah... I forgot. It IS a clip-on. I can't even TIE a tie.
Stacy gets that crazed "I'm going to kill you" look in her eyes.
STACY
It's... a... clip... on!?
LIAM
Uh-huh.
HILTER
[whispers]
Run, Liam, run.
STACY
IT'S A MOTHER-FU-(BLEEP!)-KING CLIP-ON!?
LIAM
Eep.
Stacy starts advancing on Liam. Her eyes begin to grow a yellow-ish color
and foam begins to drip from her mouth.
HARRY
I just know I'm going to have to clean this up.
Stacy goes for Liam's throat, but before she can trottle him to death, Gary,
CARMEN ELECTRA, and ELVIS enter. CHOCOLATE TREAT follows them throwing rice
in the air.
STACY
What.... is... THIS!?
GARY
I told you I could find a woman without you and I did!
CARMEN ELECTRA
Yeah, Gary's the coolest.
STACY
Yeah, well... you can break up with him now because this was all
just a big misunderstanding and I'm ready to take him back.
CARMEN ELECTRA
Take him back? Honey, that's gonna be tougher than you think!
HARRY
What are you saying?
Carmen Electra holds up her hand and we see a WEDDING RING on her finger.
Gary smiles smugly.
ELVIS
They came in to my chapel a little while ago and wanted to get
married.
CHOCOLATE TREAT
I got to be the flower girl!
STACY
MARRIED?
CARMEN ELECTRA
Yeah, Gary was all crying and everything and I felt sorry for
him, you know? Besides, I'm not married to Dennis Rodman this
week, so I figured... What the hell? You know?
STACY
You... You were broken up with me for ten minutes and you
married the first floozy you could find!?
GARY
Carmen is no floozy! She's got a great mind too! Besides, I
was only going out with you for your body.
STACY
WHAT!?
GARY
Come on, Carmen. Let's go constipate our marriage.
ELVIS
Don't you mean "consummate your marriage?"
GARY
Heavens no! I don't want to do anything kinky!
Gary and Carmen Electra exit. Stunned, Stacy walks blankly to the couch and
sits down.
HILTER
Well... I would not have anticipated this turn of events.
Stacy pulls Liam's tie out of her jacket zipper and hands it to him.
STACY
[mindlessly]
Here's your tie, Liam.
LIAM
You mean you're not mad at me?
STACY
Why should I be? Nothing matters anymore. Do you have any idea
what's happened to me?
Chocolate Treat sits next to her.
CHOCOLATE TREAT
Honey, I know exactly what happened to you. You were going out
with Gary 'cause he was a little pimply-faced nobody you could
dominate and now you see that you were never in control of him
at all. It's quite a blow.
STACY
Was that it? Was that all I saw in Gary the Fanboy? My need to
dominate?
CHOCOLATE TREAT
It's hard to take it when you're not the center of the universe,
huh sweetie? Well, it's something for you to think about. I'll
see ya later.
Chocolate Treat gets up and leaves. Elvis stands there for a second and
looks around nervously.
ELVIS
I... uh... guess I'd better go too.
Elvis walks out the door mumbling something about "not enough screen time".
HARRY
Stacy, for what it's worth... I'm sorry.
HILTER
Me too.
LIAM
So am I.
Stacy just sits there. After a second, she gets up.
STACY
Okaaaaay. So I'm NOT the center of the universe. No biggie...
I can live with that.
LIAM
[thinking]
This is it. With Stacy and Gary broken up I can finally tell
her how I feel.
[out loud]
Stacy, I...
STACY
Yes, Liam?
LIAM
[thinking]
Don't panic! Don't panic! Just tell her!
[out loud]
I... I... I...
STACY
What, Liam?
LIAM
I... have to go to the bathroom.
Liam runs to the bathroom and slams the door.
STACY
Weirdo.
HILTER
I guess it's be best if we all just leave and forget this
horrible little incident. After a few days, maybe...
[he looks at Harry]
Harry... Your fly is down.
HARRY
[looks]
Oh!
Harry tries to zip his zipper up.
HARRY
It's stuck!
STACY
Here, let me help.
Stacy grabs Harry's zipper and tugs.
STACY
Boy, that thing sure is stuck!
The zipper comes loose and catches Stacy's sleeve causing her hand to cup
over Harry's crotch. Everyone looks at each other in shock. The picture
freezes and we zoom back to reveal that we are now looking at a picture in a
book. A hand closes the book.
INT. A ROOM
CLINT HOWARD is now sitting where Leonard Nimoy was.
CLINT HOWARD
...and what followed was a tale so shocking and horrible that we
are not even allowed to air it. And so ends our tale of the
gripping zippers.
The lights begin to fade.
CLINT HOWARD
Oh... and Carmen and Gary divorced, like, thirty minutes later.
