RADIO SHED
FOUR WEEKS AGO - EARTH 2
A woman walks around the store, looking at the speakers displayed. Pop Tart Heart by Louden Swain plays on the radio. Radio Shed Clerk smiles at her and she smiles back.
"You're listening to Jimmy Jack and the Ros, traffic and weather together, after the news. Take it, Ros."
"Thanks, Jimmy Jack. Negotiations resume at the U.N. today as world leaders work to restore the Paris Agreement. The revamped agreement would represent an historic victory in the fight against climate change."
The Radio Shed Clerk continues to smile at the Woman until, She frowns and leaves the store.
"Come again." He Says
"In other news, President Hillary Clinton is in Iowa, as she officially kicks off her re-election campaign..."
The Clerk turns off the radio. The bell on the shop door rings, and Chuck enters the shop.
"Hello, sir! Welcome to Radio Shed, "where superstore inventory meets swap-meet prices!" Oh, um..I take it you're unsatisfied with your viewing experience at home?" He Says
Chuck walks over to the display of TVs, "You have
no idea."
"Okay. Well, we've got everything the big-box stores have..4K, 8K, HD, LED, OLED, HDMI 2.1. 48-, 55-, and 65-inch, freestanding or wall-mounted. And to bring it all together this universal remote... a Radio Shed exclusive." He Says
The Clerk takes out a remote from his back pocket, as Chuck turns away from the TVs to face him.
"Sorry. Not really what I'm looking for." Chuck Says
"Oh? Uh, then, what are you looking for?" He Asks
"An audience." Chuck Says
"An audience?" He Says
"It's monologue time." Chuck Says
Chuck raises his hands and the TVs start to display all the alternate versions of Earth. The Clerk looks between the remote and TVs in confusion.
"In the beginning, it was just me and sis. And it was fine. But I wasn't satisfied. So I made more. I created the world." Chuck Says
One TV switches to Dean and Castiel talking in the bunker's kitchen.
"But I didn't stop there. No, no, no. I got the bug! So, I...I kept creating. I made...other worlds." Chuck Says
The TVs start to change to the alternate versions of Sam, Elena and Dean.
"Different combinations, scenarios, characters. Different versions of the same characters. You know, "my other toys". Is that where I screwed up?" Chuck Says
"Sir, this is a Radio Shed." He Says
"Dean says I'm not gonna get the ending I want. I don't know. Maybe I...I...I mean, that shouldn't matter, right? I've gotten what I want from hundreds of Sam's, Elena's and Dean's. I could get what I want from a hundred more. And I don't care. Those other toys, they don't...they don't...spark joy. But Sam, Elena and Dean...the real Sam, Elena and Dean... they do." Chuck Says
Chuck continues to watch Dean, Castiel and now Sam and Elena in the bunker's kitchen.
"They challenge me...they disappoint me...they surprise me. They're...the ones." Chuck Says
"How about a stereo?" He Asks
"I don't need more!" Chuck yelled at him, the clerk backed up a little.
