And they go to Greenpoint. I am so sure. Jimmy is giggling at cartoons when Kyle looks through the peephole and sees Karen and Derek. Jimmy thinks Kyle is drunk, but even though Kyle's about to pee himself, he is not. Jimmy says they can go screw themselves, but Kyle opens the door and invites them in. Probably peeing a little. Derek tells Jimmy he likes his work, and halfway apologizes for snubbing him earlier. Even though Jimmy is pointedly ignoring him now, Derek says he's here now and wants to hear what they have. He sits down.
Kyle gets beers for Karen and Derek and the boys start pitching their show. Which sounds a lot like a small-town boy living in a lonely world -- there's a kid from a bad home who makes a "hit list" of all the people he wants to get revenge on, and then meets a rich, beautiful girl who wants to be a singer. He plays his songs for the girl, and she steals his songs and becomes a success, but eventually she needs more songs, and the boy gives them to her because he loves her.
Jimmy's getting all caught up and passionate and realizes that he's not being cool. Derek sums it up as A Star Is Born plus Hamlet with some Romeo and Juliet thrown in. Kyle says it's more Moulin Rouge + Gaga + JT Leroy, while Jimmy doesn't want to define it. Derek says "Hit List" is a good title, and Jimmy says everything gets really dark and everyone dies at the end, but Derek says they just need one good death. He says they'll start working on the second act while Karen fetches more beers. She prances around delightedly.
Next week: Rehearsals for Ronnie's show. Derek is being a jackhole, as usual. Karen is falling for Jimmy, but he's a man slut. Julia might be having feelings for Peter, because Peter is delicious, and Jerry seems to be firing Karen. Someone is destroying the show! Someone is out of their mind! I see your fingerprints, Gossip Girl guy!
