WHO AM I?
My name is Ken Gorman. I am 40. I am married to Chris Gorman, and have a six year old child at home. I am a very accomplished lawyer who works many long hours every week. My record in the court is one of exceptional performance. I have only lost two cases in my career. My wife and I work well together at home and at the office. I am a very calm, controlling (but not too much), confident, and well mannered man. I tend to handle risky and dangerous situations with great poise and ease.
WHERE AM I?
I am at my best friend, Charley Brock's house for his tenth wedding anniversary. He is also very rich, therefore he has very nice furniture and artwork. I am however, used to it. The house is located in New York near the city of Poughkeepsie. the address is 1257 Peekskill road.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
around 5:30 or 6. We are attending a dinner party. We left our child at home with a babysitter.
WHAT SURROUNDS ME?
Surrounding me is a fairly large apartment in a wealthy part of town. Charley's apartment is a 3-bedroom, 4-bath apartment. with very expensive home decor items and designer furniture.
WHAT ARE THE GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES?
My best friend is sitting up in his bedroom with a bullet hole through his earlobe. His wife, Myra, is not anywhere to be found. the help is not at home either. No one knows what happened because Charley is passed out on his bed from taking valium and cannot talk well. I, being the lawyer, am trying to hold everything and everyone together.
WHAT DOES the script, others, and I SAY ABOUT MY CHARACTER?
I am in my late thirties/early forties. I am also very wealthy and established. I take charge in what I do.
I over react sometimes and "lawyer-talk" without noticing. People can't understand what i am saying.
I like things to start quick and end quick. I talk without thinking sometimes.
WHAT ARE MY RELATIONSHIPS?
Chris - wife. married for 9 yrs
Claire - best friend of Chris, see her around
Lenny - I am his lawyer. We met through Charley.
Charley - I am his Lawyer and his best friend
Myra - wife of Charley
Cookie - I have watched her show and talked to her at other parties of Charley's
Ernie - I send some of my clients to him and vice versa. I am his lawyer as well and have become friends over the years.
Glenn - Glenn and I went to the same middle school. We both had very high ambitions for life although we didn't talk to each other much. I am now his lawyer
Cassie - I know Cassie through Glenn. I am her Lawyer as well.
WHAT DO I WANT? (main and immediate)
I want to become a lawyer for federal cases that deals directly with the supreme court.
Right now I just want to get through this night without letting anyone else know about Charley. I also want him to escape from the police because that would ruin my career.
WHAT IS IN THE WAY OF ACCOMPLISHING MY GOAL?
My wife does not want me to have to deal with the stress of supreme court cases. I am still making my way up the corporate ladder and if i switch now and try to move to Washington, i would lose everything because it took me 9 years to do what i am doing now. Also, there is no need for another supreme court judge right now.
I have a wife who does not work well under pressure. Therefore, i have to spoon feed her everything so she does not screw up the situation with charley and myra. I also have to avoid letting anyone see Carley and Myra while making them still think they are home.
HOW DO I GET WHAT I WANT?
I need to do bits and peices of both my real job and washington, making occasional trips to listen in, meeting supreme court judges, and voting for the president that will most likely vote for me to fufill the open position, when one opens.
I tell the most trustworthy couple that i know at the party so that 4 people can come up with a story that makes sense while the other couples remain clueless.
Who am II am officer Pudney.I am the partner of officer Welch and I am ready for my promotion.
Where am IIm at 1257 Peekskill Rd.in Sneeden's Landing.Rich home,Nicely decorated

~Lauren Norton (Officer Pudney)
1.Chris Gorman. I am in my mid thirties. I went to Harvard Law School after finishing my undergraduate at NYU. I graduated at the top of my class with invitations to plenty of firms. The highlight of my life, however was meeting my husband there. To be honest I was too consumed with my studies to notice him, and too cynical to start anything serious. So, after about four years we decided to get married. When I was finished with school one of of my old buddies, Lenny decided to help me open my own firm. Ken got offers but to nothing worth while. No worries though, after a couple of months things pulled through, and he was invited to one of New York City's most prestigious firms- MY OWN. Ken and I had a child three years after being married. We had a boy Stephen. I had to guit law, so I could take care of our child. He just turned six this year,so he is in school. Ken doesn't know it yet,but I have been invited back to a new firm in the city. They handle case loads of Hollywood stars. Its not that we need the money, its just that i want to start back Law. Arguing was my first love.
2. I am at my friend Myra's house with my husband Ken. We are the first to arrive. I am excited to be amongst the thrive and excitement of a high priority case again.
3.It is 6pm
4.It is a fairly large house. There are two bedrooms. The house isn't decorated to my liking. Myra is too contemporary for my taste.
5.I have arrived to the party early- we are ALWAYS early...Charley is in his bedroom, and has been shot in the ear lobe, Myra is no where to be found
The script= I am fairly sarcastic, and sometimes blunt.
The others= look to me for advice-even when I have no clue what is going on.
I say= that I am a strong and independent person. This night however, is testing my patience.
6. KEN= My husband. He is such a wimp.I mean when I was in labor, I drove myself to the hospital, checked myself in,and offered him the Epidural.Yes, I will admit it, since I have stopped working he has won me up in the courtroom. For the longest time he was known as Chris Gorman's husband. Now I am known as his retired wife. I am slightly bitter about that.
CLAIRE- We met at at Tennis club two years before I had my first child.Little did I know she was married to one of my good friends from high school.She gave me the dirt on a man I was trying to bring down for a huge plublicity scandal- the thing is, I never even mentioned the case. We have been friends ever since,and get manicures every Friday. We even started a wine club.
LENNY- We went to high school together. We were old running buddies. He even helped me open my firm,and he does my taxes. Things have been akward for the last two years. Why? Well, I got upset over a lost case. Went to a party- had a one to many sprizters and ended up falling over and kissing his feet- He doesn't like feet.
ERNIE- I handle his confidentiality agreements.When Claire was looking for a new therapist, I recommended him. She saw him so regularly that he is now part of our group of friends.
Cookie- I watch her show sometimes, but mostly I have the help record her recipes. We don't talk that much. I think she is sweet, but a little too high strung for my taste.
Cassie- We met in Yoga about 6 years ago. I was stressed with work and my pregnancy,so I decided to give it a try. Meditation wasn't my thing, but whatever floats her boat. I love her bluntness- we get along just fine- but hang out in different social circles.
Glenn- I hate politicians...Lying is a lawyers job. I think he is an idiot. I'd never say it, but I have never voted for him. Ken donates to his campaigns every year.
7. I am determined to prove to my husband that I can handle the courtroom again. This night just may prove that.
8. All the chaos going on. It has been a long time since I fought with pressure like this.
9. I try to remain calm and in charge- I love to be in charge.

Who am I?
---------
My name is Cookie Cusack. Yes, I'm not joking. I am forty years old. I am a
professional cook and have cooking shows on three channels. A favorite pastime of
mine is appearing occasionally on Oprah and public televsion giving out many tips ranging
from how to correctly baste a turkey to what sort of drapes should hang in your breakfast
room. I am the oldest of three--I have two other sisters, Candy and Taffy (some people
call them the WONKA sisters). Since I am the oldest I am very caring.
Where am I?
-----------
Right now I am at what is supposed to be my husband's client's tenth wedding
anniversary party. But something unexpected has happened and Myra's cook Mai Lai is nowhere
to be found so I'm stuck cooking (again) in the kitchen -- which I really don't mind to be
bluntly honest. The Brock's house is nice -- full of paintings that look familiar but I
wouldn't know the artist if you asked and nice furniture that sinks down quite a bit when you sit on it
(but is good for my back). The actual house address is 1257 Peekskill Road, Sneden's
Landing. A wealthy neighborhood near Poughkeepie, New York. This neighborhood reminds
of the Hamptons (you know, they can get you if you wear the wrong teal blue blouse with
a Polish inspired cardigan any day of the week, but I'm used to it, being intrigued with old vintage
fashion myself). They live in a neat house, with lavish looking trinkets and a modern but
still Victorian looking touch to the inside archetechture.
What time is it?
----------------
Last time I checked the clucking chicken clock in the kitchen,is was quarter till
7:00. But can you really trust the time on a clock where a chicken pokes its head out
every thirty minutes? I don't think so.....I'll ask Ernie.
What surrounds me?
------------------
I am In Myra and Charley Brock's upscale New York apartment with three bedrooms,
four bathrooms, a kitchen, a basement, a living room, and a guesthouse. It has a quaint
old English style to it but is still very modern (besides the old floral drapes hanging
in the exterior kitchen window which have to go...). There's one couch and a nice sheesham
chair lined in cocobolo wood. Many of my good friends surround me acting crazier than
other times I've seen them. I'm not worrying though because my roasted duck with coconut
chutney filling will keep anyone quiet it's so good.
What are the given circumstances?
---------------------------------
About six weeks ago, Ernie and I received an invitation to the Brock's tenth wedding
anniversary. I was ecstatic. I knew the perfect thing to wear. Two years before my
grandmother, Borislava (not a direct immigrant from Russia--her father was Russian) died,
she traveled to Russia and brought me back the most wonderful authentic Russian dress.
In honor of her passing, I decided to show it off to my closest and most dear friends.
Earlier this morning, deciding that since we were out of orange juice, soy milk, and tofu
cubes, I start to get dressed for a trip to the grocery (usually, if I was in disguise, I
would wear sweatpants that are too big for me and an oversize sweatshirt but since I
didn't feel like it and I was having a pretty good hair day, I decided to get on my jeans
and pinstripe button down with my name engraving on it. Honestly, with my fame in the cooking
industry, soccer moms spot me from a mile away asking for cooking tips and recipes, and when
that many people are that close to you, you need to look your best.) Anyway, I guess I had
gone up a half a size this past month and I couldn't get on my cutest, most overly bedazzled
DKNY jeans. I struggled and I struggled, bending over this way and that every way I could
think of to get the button hooked when all of the sudden I hear a loud CRACK! and I go
crashing to the floor right on top of Ernie's pile of new and used stethescopes
(he thinks heartrate figures somehow into insomnia). Anyway,from then on all day at
random moments I feel spasms shoot up and down my back. The feeling won't go away even at
the party. I tried my best to be pleasant while I cooked with this back problem.
Ernie is helping quite a bit while the others are panicking way too much about the
Charley and Myra situation. Charley shot himself through the earlobe and Myra isn't here.
*What does the script say about me?
-----------------------------------
The script say I am in my forties and have extremely bad fashion sense. I am
moderately wealthy. I have two sisters, Candy and Taffy. I am a cook that has a cooking
show on television. I am married to Ernie Cusack who is Charley's analyst.
*What do others say about me?
-----------------------------
It depends on who you talk to. Lenny, Ernie, Glen, and Chris all think I cook
magnificent dinners. Ken can't hear me half the time so whatever I say goes through one
ear and out the other, literally. Claire says I did a fine job of cooking the meal but that her
cook can do better (which was a little scarring), while Cassie and I don't really talk much. Lenny sometimes thinks I'm
a mental case and makes fun of me at times when I try to help (not that I really know when
he's making fun of me) and Ernie stands up for me quite a bit.
*What do I say about myself?
----------------------------
I am compassionate about helping my husband analyze this situation and giving him
all the support he needs. Also, I put in my two-sense whenever required because I always
try to be helpful, although I do get pushy about where and how my cushion is placed behind
me. Though when the rest of them start talking abnormally fast, it's hard for me to keep
up so I usually tune them out until one of them says something extremely important, but
other than that I am mostly there. When they asked me to cook them all dinner, I did have
doubts and questions but barely hesitated because it's one of the things I'm best at and
I would never put the preparation and making of a meal into the hands of these people, even
my husband. We would all end up with food poisoning from undercooked poultry and salminila.
What are my relationships?
--------------------------
-Ernie-husband. married for eleven years. One of the most wonderful people I know.
Every year we take two trips- Barbados in the winter and an Antarctic freeze dome in the summer.
We rarely ever fight except over who loves each other more.
-Chris-close friend. met through Ernie knowing her husband Ken. Since we've met five years ago, we
always go on monthly shopping trips to Milan in her husband's private jet. She's a wonderful person to
shop with since she can haggle down a pricey Chanel tote from $210 down to $100 in nearly under one minute
(i've clocked it). This would only be on Milan's Black Market--if you can call it that.
-Ken-one of Ernie's best friends. Go on many golf trips together. I'm also very supportive of
his campaigns to get into political office. While he and his advisors have meetings on what step to take
next in his campaign, I'm always on hand with my oatmeal cinnamon gingerbread snaps!
-Claire-close friend. Met through Ernie knowing her husband Lenny. She's seems nice and all, but
after that comment she made about my cooking, I don't think I can really talk to her without my psychological
hangups from her insult get in the way.
-Lenny-one of Ernie's good friends. Ernie gets a lot of business from Lenny since
many people that Lenny audits tend to become, over time, basket cases.
-Glenn-recent acquaintance. Doesn't seem like that crooked of a politician.
-Cassie-recent acquaintance....loose morals....loose morals....
What do I want?
---------------
Right now I want to get over my unexpected back spasms. I want to survive the night
without getting caught by police because obviously that would not be good for my show's
ratings. For the long term, I want to adopt about seven kids from Zimbabwe and get them on
a low carb, all-natural seaweed, tuna, and soy protein milkshake diet so they could be good
at track and jumping hurdles so that they can win the Olympics. I would love to
co-host a special with Rachael Ray on cooking, Nancy Grace on world issues, Finola Hughes from the
show How Do I Look? on fashion, and Madonna on her routine pilates workout.
What is in the way of accomplishing my goal?
-------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, this whole back spasm thing completely hinders anything I try to do
including walking to the kitchen, sitting, standing,climbing stairs, hopping on
one foot and many other sane human movements. Also, many do not take me seriously so
a lot of what I say they don't take into consideration unless they're probably really
desperate. A lot of these people are short-tempered and they get mad easily. Also,
somtimes they talk way too fast. It's sort of hard to help at all when you don't know what
they're talking about.
Now about my cooking, politics, fasion, and pilates specials on my television
show.....Hopefully, Rachael Ray won't recognize that some of her fall Thanksgiving pie
recipes happen to look the same as mine (just a coincidence) and that Nancy Grace almost
always never reads off her cue cards and just says what's on her mind (this isn't the Emmy's
--my show is always live) Finola Hughes might work if she has a respect for old style
Japanese kimonos and Madonna may cancel.
How do I get what I want?
-------------------------
I have decided to bear crawl anytime I need to stand. I have decided to incoporate
sign language into some things I say as to make the others think I am super smart. Since
all of the others pretty much yell, my voice will be distinctive since I don't yell. They
will hear me because I am the calmest person there.
About my long term goals. Decide that pies are overrated and decide to go with a
new Snickerdoodle recicpe. Instead debate Nancy Grace on the real problems in society
today like the federal offense of wearing white after labor day (unless it's ivory or cream
forget about it). Instead ask Finola the best thing to wear to a costume party (hopefully
you can dress up like a Japanese Empress at costume parties). Mmmmm, let Madonna talk the whole
time I guess....
Sorry about the spacing!
I didn't mean to! I was kind of in a rush. But I promise that I clicked the button right at 11:00.
1. My full name is Ernest Semawhitz Cusack but everyone calls me Ernie. I have been married for 11 years to my wife Cookie. We have 3 children that are all adopted. Secretly, I can't stand her but I just act like we a happily married in public. She can cook well, though. She thinks that I like calling her these cute pet names but frankly I don't want to get it mixed up with some other woman's name. I'm always at the office because I hate going home and having to listen to her go on and on about nothing. It drives me insane and could take me to the point where I do something I might regret later. Besides, the secretary is way more interesting... That's another story. I love my job and often find myself bringing it with me to public outings. I specialize in marriage consoling In my spare time I immerse myself in my art. I paint pictures of harsh scenes of war or tragedy and point out the horrors to people in vivid detail. I enjoy the finer things in life: designer clothes, luxury cars, property in the Hamptons. People have called my eccentric at times. I think it is because I have a higher taste or appreciation.
2. I am at one of my good friends and client's house Charley Brock, the Deputy Mayor of New York City. I have come to celebrate his and Myra's 10th wedding anniversary
3. It's around 7:00 on the 2nd of October.
4. In a mansion in a nice neighborhood. It is a 3 bedroom 4 bath house with a spacious living room.
5. I am surrounded by idiots and bad home decor.
6. I am in my later thirties. I am an accomplished analyst that enjoys the finer things in life. I always want to fix peoples problems even when I know that my help is not needed. I get stressed easily and have problems with anxiety. I happen to think I'm very funny.
Cookie is my hyperactive wife.
Lenny and Claire are clients of mine who were recommended to me by Charley. Glenn and Cassie I have never met before. Ken and Chris often send business my way when their clients plead insanity or they need a psychologists report.
Charley i met before he got married. He is a nice man but he still had problems with wetting the bed so he has come to me for help. His sheets have been dry for 3 years now. I met Myra after they were married. She was a college hook up back at Johns Hopkins. Good times.
7. I just want the party to begin so I don't have to listen to my wife's jawing any more. When everything gos to pot I really just want to get out of their unscathed because if the cops try to investigate my personal life they would definitely discover some skeletons.
8. The cops and everyone's ignorance is going to mess it up for me.
9. I finally get relief when we all come together and make the cops believe our crazy story. My life can finally go back to normal or can it?
I had trouble trying to get it up. Sorry it was late I had it done before hand.
my name is lynard phillip ganz. I am a 38 year old auditor that works for the IRS. I am married to Claire Ganz and she means the world to me. We have been happily married for 12 years. I was the youngest of 3 brothers all of which were very good althletes. I my self was a bookworm. Its not that i was a nerd its just that i i was quick with numbers and even quicker with my tounge. i was either helping people with calculus homework or i was getting beaten up so i had to be quick with both. My father despised the fact that i would never be an althelte like my brothers and hated me for it. because of this i had horrible self esteem issues that followed me the rest of my life.
2. I am at a fancy dinner party in a very nice neighborhood on the outside of buffalo NY.
3. Its about 6:30 when we arrive we were originally supposed to be there at 6 but i was in an accident and we came later.
4. I think that lenny is a really nice guy because whenever cookie gets hurt he always asks about her. but he is also a smartmouth that everyone tells to stop.
5. I am surrounded by 6 other hilarious people that are all diferent in their own way. I am in a fancy house with a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a basement.
6. I am married to claire ganz. my best friend at the party is charley who i try to protect the most because he is swindling money from the state. i met all the other guests way back in college when charley introduced me i was his roommate.
