This question was posed by Team Tripe just yesterday. I don’t know the answer, but God I hope not.  I know I shouldn’t want it as much as I do. It’s a surefire way to get take an incredible beating from reality. But I do want it. I really do. The script that I sent in is deserving. The extra writing samples I sent, in the forms of a bio and statement of interest, are worthy too. I know this, because I spent a lot of time on them, and I was actually completely pleased with the results. For me, that is a rare thing.

And, if the writer’s strike is still happening, and I do get it (Please! Please! Please!), will that make me a scab, as Team Tripe discussed. I hope not, because I can’t think ’scab’ without thinking about the scene from Newsies where the scabs are buying their papes to sell and the Newsies are all waiting outside the gates for them, and then Jack Kelly yells “Let’s soak ‘em for Crutchy!”

I don’t want soaked.
