This is a historical reproduction of the events that happened in one of The EQ Guy's very first L.A. Apprentice Classes where one of his friends who he worked with at the Arrowhead Water job showed up in his class in Whittier early in the year 2000.
084--INT--CLASSROOM--DAY 084
PIANO plays us in one more time:
NARRATOR
We now join Our Boy as he is taking classes for the
Los Angeles Carpenters Union and one of those guys
from Arrowhead Water just so happens to be in the same
Apprentice Class and notices him in the classroom!!!
Lets try to go with some footsteps here, or guys talking again or something, then:
RANDOM APPRENTICE
So I dragged up from that job right away, yeah they say
that’s why your tools have wheels on them.
CHRIS
I just came from a great job at the Sony plant in San Diego!!!
CRAIG
Yeah Jim Pester called with a job over in. . . . . Whatsup Aiden!!!
AIDEN RIOS
(Might see him and be shocked/happy/whatever)
How you doing Craig, Hi Jim. . .
Hey look everybody!!! It’s the EQ Guy!!!
This guy knows when the next earthquake is
going to happen!!!
(Announcing this loudly to the class, now)
So, EQ Guy, you said you wanted to use that for
your name, when’s the next earthquake supposed
to be?
EQ GUY
Hi Aiden!!! It’s very good to see you again!
CHRIS
(This can be any character now)
Really, do you?
AIDEN
I was there at Arrowhead Water, remember
you telling the guys, there. You told us there was
going to be an earthquake that weekend and there was a
real big one right there with Fontana was the
epicenter!!!
CRAIG
Are you kidding Aiden, now what happened?
CHRIS
Wow man that’s amazing, homey, what did he do now Aiden?
AIDEN
So tell us when the next earthquake is going to be EQ Guy!!!
I aint kidding, he knows, now listen!!!
EQ GUY
Yes, and I’m glad you just happened to ask
me today, too!!!
(He can think a second)
(Now also announces loudly to the class)
There should be one like this weekend
down around Central America!
But this one WILL NOT be a smallish 5 Richter one
like the one at Arrowhead Water was, NO. . .
(Shakes head No, serious now)
This one is going to be much bigger!
Like around 7 Richters!
(Shakes head yes, is sure)
CRAIG
(Nods Heads Yes, Agrees, Smiles)
That’s interesting, that’s great, very good,
big earthquake, huh?
(Pretty much all agreeing so we can. . .)
RANDOM APPRENTICE
That’s amazing homey, you say there’s going to be
an earthquake this weekend, huh, wow man whatssssuuup
with that homey, amazing!!!!!
CUT-TO:
NOW, HE’S HOME BY HIS TV, AGAIN 173
NARRATOR
So. . . this was starting to happen a lot now and
here’s what happened first thing on Monday Morning
when his alarm rang and he turned on the Fritz Coleman
Show on NBC-4-Los Angeles:
THEN the ALARM RINGS:
EQ GUY
Ok, I’m awake, where’s the remote?
TV
And there was an earthquake in Mexico either
this morning or like last night sometime. It was
a fairly good sized one, too. You’re Watching
NBC-4-Los Angeles
We might actually be able to get away with just saying that like that on the TV
Then, CUT-TO:
INT--APPRENTICE SHOP/CLASSROOM--DAY 174
NARRATOR
Again, he had announced that an earthquake was going to happen,
and again one happened over the weekend. Here is how Monday
Morning went as we re-join EQ Guy in his L.A. Apprentice Class:
CRAIG
That was a fabulous earthquake that happened
yesterday, Les, there were a lot of buildings
destroyed and how many died?
AIDEN
See that’s what I told you, and the EQ Guy knew it,
too, didn’t you, EQ Guy
RANDOM APPRENTICE
Yeah, he did say something like that, didn’t he.
Yeah, hey how did you know on Friday that an earthquake
was going to strike over the weekend?
CRAIG
And just like that it happened.
(Smiles, maybe at Les, shakes head no, no)
CHRIS
So, tell us now how you did that, Homey!
RANDOM APPRENTICE
Yeah, whatsuuup with that, my brother, how‘d you do that?
EQ GUY
Well, it’s got to do with tides and the water
temperature and I’m starting to now think
I might have to just write the whole thing
all out into a book!
(And he can continue on, here, as an option)
because it would just about take that long
to explain all of it, you know, by time I’m all
done explaining it I might as well have just
wrote a book, anyways.
CHRIS
Hey, that’ll be a good book, too, that’s
not a bad idea, Brotha!!! Give me some knuckles, homey!!!
Yeah, put ‘er right there, EQ Guy
EQ GUY
Alright, Craig Dude!!! It’s what I do, homeys!
(ME, Continued)
Because I do seem to be starting now to get
a lot of these right like that, I’m kind of dialing
the system in how I figure out what day it will
hit and what city.
CRAIG
Here comes the teacher, guys!!!
RANDOM APPRENTICE
Look like we’re studying everybody!!!
APPRENTICE TEACHER
Will everybody please take your seats, now
Class is in Session!!!!!
NARRATOR
And THERE You Have it, Folks!!!
It all transpired just like that way, way back early
in the year 2000 at that L.A. Bottling Plant. . .
and then in EQ Guy’s L.A. Apprentice Class with a
Special Thanks to Aiden, Craig, Jim and all the other
Guys in that class, as well as Virgil, Burke, Wild Bill
Jorge, Fernando and all the other Great Guys at the
Arrowhead Water Can Lines Job in Ontario, California.
Thank-You!!! And Thank-You for Listening!!!
Piano will play us out.
CUT-TO: THE END!!!
