On the day we made this skit, we were actually going to go to Ashneel's family's gas station to reshoot some stuff for our Grand Theft Auto skit, but we couldn't get everyone out there, so Droz came up with the idea for this skit, and we figured we'd just show up and wing it. It turns out, our improv skills were sorely out of practice, and everything we were shooting was A. not funny and B. would have been very difficult to edit because of how hard a time we were having coming up with anything funny. So we broke for lunch, went across the street to Pollo Campero, sat down with a pen and a pad of paper (you can see me writing in the picture above, and you can actually see the notepad in the skit, if you're paying attention) and wrote the damn thing out.

It took me so long to get through my part, that by the time we got ready to do Droz's lines, we were fighting the sun going down. More than a few people have noticed that it becomes pitch black behind Droz, while my scenes are still sunny and bright. Well, Orson Welles I ain't.

This one was very fun to work on, 'cause we had no idea what we were going to shoot, and we only had a three hour window of sunlight to shoot the skit in the gas station. Once we thought of the idea, and the punch line, we then spent the remaining two hours trying to figure out how the dialogue would roll out so it would be delivered correctly. So this would definitely be considered a rushed production. Even though it was rushed, the joke comes across well, and yes, I get raped in the end.
