The Royal & The Clueless - Episode 10
On the last episode of The Royal & The Clueless Kate worked hard at looking as though she was working hard. No sooner had everyone fallen for her ruse then she received news that she might have to wait several years longer for an engagement to Prince William. Kate is in a heightened state of anxiety and goes to talk to the uncredited co-worker now demanding credit.
Kate: I've just found out I might have to wait another eight years!
Uncredited co-worker a few cubicles over who is now demanding credit: You still don't get it do you?
Kate: Get what?
Uncredited co-worker a few cubicles ov....
Uncredited co-worker a few cubicles over who is now demanding credit: My name is Enrique! To the person writing this episode, I think they get it now so knock it off!
The person writing this episode: My name is Marilyn
The formerly uncredited co-worker who calls himself Enrique: Okay Marilyn, I think they get it!
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (reducing the font size to illustrate regret) Sorry..
The formerly uncredited co-worker who calls himself....
The formerly uncredited co-worker who calls himself Enrique: (To Marilyn, as she writes this episode) Can you just call me Enrique? And can you just call yourself Marilyn?
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (To Enrique) But how are people supposed to know who you're talking to? It's not like I'm in the room with you.
Enrique: (To Marilyn, as she writes this episode): True, but still...
Kate: (To Enrique) Who are you talking to?
Enrique and Marilyn, as she writes this episode: Nevermind.
Kate: (forlorn) How much longer do I need to wait?
Enrique: The news reports say eight years
Kate: How long is that?
Enrique stares blankly at Kate.
Enrique: (To Marilyn, as she writes this episode) You've got to be kidding right? First the stapler, now this?
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: It's an unexpected plot twist.
Enrique: (To Marilyn, she she writes this episode) Kind of predictable actually. This is the best you can come up with?
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (To Enrique) Who's writing this episode? Are you?
Enrique: (To Marilyn, as she writes this episode) No, but..
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (To Enrique) Do you want credit or not?
Marilyn, as she writes this episode gives Enrique nothing to say so he is silent.
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (To Enrique) That's what I thought. Now stick with the plotline.
Enrique: (to Kate) *Sigh* Do you know...how to count..to...eight?
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (to Enrique) As if you mean it
Enrique: (to Marilyn, as she writes this episode) But she can't possibly be that...
Marilyn, as she writes this episode: (To Enrique) There are people who think she is..
Enrique: (To Marilyn, as she writes this episode) I wouldn't say that, maybe desperate, scheming, but not that..
Kate: I'm what?..Who are you talking to?
Will Kate ever figure it out? Will Enrique ever realize he's not writing this episode? Can Enrique and Marilyn, as she writes this episode put aside their artistic and creative differences? Tune in to the next episode of The Royal & The Clueless.

Haaaaaaaa! Very funny! This reminds me of the old Garry Shandling show, if you've ever seen that. He was a sitcom character who knew he was on a sitcom and talked to the studio audience about what he should do as the plot progressed.
The only thing I remember about the Gary Shandling show is the theme song and Gilda Radner's last appearance.
