EP 9 - Comic Con Versus Valerie

- This is the part where I don't know where I am. It takes a few moments for my instincts to kick in. I'm at the Comic-Con. How did I get here? What's this? Me holding a burrito, me eating a burrito What are these? 'The One.' Why did I write that? Am I trying to find him or avoid him? Finding him would be more interesting... There he is... But can I trust him? Who is he? He has it on his face. - Val, could you please tell Guy that I'm a good boyfriend? - Well, this guy sucks! Dump him before you get hurt. - Who do I believe? 'Don't believe his lies.' - Val, I'm your best friend. I'm trying to protect you. - Don't listen to him Val, he's just trying to ruin our relationship. - I can't think. My minds are blank. - You can do it, Val! The answer lies within. - I'm sorry... who are you? I... - Don't... remember... me? - Hey man! Thanks for the advice this morning. It's being like best day ever! Yes, there it is. Ok. Good to see you. - You broke my wrist! - What the hell is your problem? - Oh, my prob...? Oh, I don't know! There's gravy all over my shirt! - You've been a total *** all day, and a *** friend. - Oh, absolutely my day isn't great either. - It's always about you, isn't it? Why are you trying to sabotage me? - I'm not! I'm trying to help you. - I don't wanna be your friend anymore. You can find your own right home. - I know... ehm... Uhm... Dig in, the fries are getting cold. I'm sorry, I'm just on a call. - What a surprise... - Mmmmm... I love poutine. - So all takes? Cheese-cake and gravy?

Certainly, why he's allowed to be a *** boyfriend, but all's forgiven over a couple pizzas? - Look... - What? - Guy! I apologise for having an important phone call in your presence, but you need to start showing me a little respect. Maybe I just rub you the wrong way, or maybe you're just the most negative person I ever met, but either way, it stops NOW. Val, I'm so sorry... I didn't want to became like.. - Guy! - Oh.....

Here. - Thank you. - Welcome to the Cards of Destiny final! You two have played admirably, but only one may advance past the finals. - That person's called 'the winner'. - Please don't get snarky. I've been up for 27 hours and I have to serve lunch in half an hour. You may begin. - Oh, ??? ????. Interesting move. Considering I know what you have in your deck. Val, I just played a Waterdragon. Get in the game. - I know! I'm just waiting to see... - He's not coming, ok? Guys like him don't like fantasy card games. They like other things. Now focus!

Gonna ask Kat to moving with me today. - What? - Yeah, I gotta this. - Don't you think it's a bit soon? I would give her some space. Maybe a little bit of room to grow? - Oh, that's what you do. Yes, 'cause you've been moping all day because Dr. Watchingmycalls hasn't contact you for five seconds. I don't think my relationship is gonna need space, ok? (Cards of Destiny Tier A players to Hall G) - My girlfriend gets here, can you make sure she knows which table I'm playing in? (Cards of Destiny Tier A players to Hall G) - The file's in the cabinet under my desk. Look under 'J'. S. Jankis. Ok. I've got to go. I have an appointment. - Sorry, mister. I'm just not feeling very good... - It's alright. But next time could you please watch... Dammit! My mustache was in there. Here, let me lend you a jacket. - Where's Guy? We're gonna be late. - Val... how I do can tell? I'm not really into this anymore. - Oh... - Guy's just so clingy. - I know but he just really likes you. I'm sure if you told him you need space he'd be open to it. - Who's ready for a little Destiny???? Hi! - Sexy Nerd Girl, right? Glad that you could make it! - I'm sorry... Who are you? - No worries. My name is Thomas. I run this whole Con. - Oh, wow! So nice to meet you! You must have a lot in your play today. - Just a little. I like your costume! Are you some sort of dressy Clockwork Orange? - No. If my boyfriend was here you'd probably to saw who we are. We're sort of a match. - Cute. You know what they say: 'Couples that play together, stay together' Well, I've got to go. Those cars won't park themselves! Hey! You look like the guy who gets free pizza. Here's a coupon for unlimited slices! - Yes! I'm eating pizza forever! - Val, I'm really sorry but there's an unit review working and they need me to straigthen a few things out. I need to find a computer, and pretty much be on the phone all day. Is it okay if I just meet you at the tournament? - You'll be there? - I promise. - Aw... ... like I'm gonna let you wander around by yourself. Come on, come with us. - Please, come on. - Great... let the fun begin. - So what should we do first? - I just actually thinking we could split up for a little bit because today is our 6-week anniversary. - Split is not necessary. I don't really consider 6 weeks to be an anniversary. - Val and I celebrated our one month anniversary and it was very romantic. - That sounds great. - Hey, Thompson and Thompson right? From Tintin? Great costumes... - Thanks! - May I take a picture of you? - Sure! - Don't want a picture of us? - Uhm... I don't get it. Why are your characters hanging out together? - 'Cause she won't dress as Big Ethel. - I'm not that tall. - Uhm... sorry. It's work. Just a second. - It's ok. - Val, are you okay? - Yeah, this happens all the time. - He needs a punch on the head. - Could you try to be a little more supportive? - So? - So? - So, are you glad that I suggested this? - Well, it definitely makes up for your behaviour at karaoke. - Hey little guy. You lost? Oh, I didn't realize that you're a grown man, I'm sorry. - Hey, wait, uhm... my girlfriend bailed on me. Can I hang on with you guys? - No. - Guy! - What? It's a double date isn't it this way you wanted? Right? Hey, man! You gonna be okay. Right? You're gonna take in some sights today, you're gonna eat a hot dog maybe? You gonna meet some celebrities! It's gonna be cool, it's gonna be the best day! - Yeah? - Yeah. - Thanks, friend. - Yeah. - You're a good guy. - Yes. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the best. - I'm a cool guy. - Yeah. - Let's go get our tickets. - How long does it take your boyfriend to park his car? - Wow! Oh my god! - That was awesome. - That episode really didn't numbered on your brain. - I just got a Christopher Nolan. I don't know about you. - What just happened? Guys, this is Kyah Green. - Hello! - She's one of the writers for Versus Valerie and Sexy Nerd Girl. - It's right. - Most famous for the zombie episode, episode 7. - I wrote it. Put those words on a paper and stuff and also you may recognise me from the beginning. I'm the girl zombie that gets her face blown up - Uhm, wearing a cute cute dress. So that episode was pretty intense and confusing - It was a puzzle! It was a puzzle episode. - Puzzles are great, great this writer. - Put it all together, and then it works. And that was that we had to do too when we were writing it because really: 'let's do a memento episode' not that easy as it sounds, as it turns it out just make things go backwards. 'Cause you write it forward, then you make it backwards and then you are like: 'does that work or am I giving it all away? It was difficult, but rewarding. - So if you want to watch it a second time maybe you think it'll start to make more sense like when you watch 'Fight Club' yeah, for a second time, and you like: 'Oh, oh. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh.' - Yeah, exactly like that. - So another really cool thing about this episode is we shot in live at two different Cons. - Yup. One of them was FanExpo, just though I was there for and Patrick Stuart walked right by me. That's when you know it's a real thing - Incredible. And the other Con we shot at was GenreCon in Guelph. We wanna give a big thanks to Thomas Gofton who not only was in the episode, not only organised all the GenreCon, but also provided us with a huge amount of the crew we used on set over that weekend. We also wanna thank to Holiday Inn who were amazing, amazing hosts for us. They basically gave us access to anywhere we wanted in the hotel. That's pretty wonderful. - Yeah, it's basically like VIP treatment speaking. A VIP is: 'Wasn't there an actor from my favourite show?' But the employeer said: 'You mad.' And hooked me up with. Regularly. - Yeah, well I wouldn't say we hung out. We did have a very nice intimate chat. Nicholas Brendan. Amazing man. My future husband. - I'm so jealous of you. Immediatly below this video there's a bunch of links to all our social media, so please you check those out - And if you have a friend that you think might like Versus Valerie, maybe send him the first episode and they can get hooked. 'Cause we wanna spread the Versus Valerie love. - Yeah, addictive. Speaking of addictive, watch the next episode. It is coming out in two weeks and this is all I'm saying about it it's that, it's both the episode that you deserve and the episode that you need right now. - Cryptic. - Guy?
