Audacity
Pilot · Written by Amanda Graham
KETCH: Ow! Can’t wait for these open blisters to touch all them Goodwill donations later, Grandma. Ow!
GRANDMA: Continuous exaggeration!
TAMMY: She’s not exaggerating Grandma! Raking leaves hurts way more than generational poverty. (beat) Not that you’d know.
BIG KIM: She’s had generational poverty for seventy years!
GRANDMA: What poor- I have a Cadillac.
BIG KIM: You won it from a scratch-off.
Grandma scoffs and skulks away.
BIG KIM: Ma! What are you, leaving now?
GRANDMA: I’m a terrible Grandmother so I’m going to take a flying leap off the Brooklyn Bridge.
