hello

"THE MOST SPIRITUAL: PILOT"

TEASER

EXT. HOLY AF SPIRITUAL RESORT & SPA, THE AMAZON - DAY

BODHI, 25, frowns at the camera. He's a white man in elephant

patterned harem trousers, Dashiki top, Peyote necklace, and a

Native American headdress.

BODHI

(infomercial style)

Are you tired of constantly having

to prove your spiritual

superiority?

He's joined by SINHAYANA, 25, a white woman in a kaftan with

a bindi, henna-tattooed arms and a dead budgie necklace.

SINHAYANA

Done with quoting Deepak to people

who haven't even read Dalai?

BODHI

Hedonically adapted to disguising

your put-downs as compliments?

SINHAYANA

Ruined so many dinner parties with

your refusal to eat gluten -

BODHI

Sugar -

SINHAYANA

Dairy -

BODHI

Anything starting with a K -

SINHAYANA

Grown outside your postcode -

BODHI

Derived from an animal -

SINHAYANA

Or anything that has a spirit -

BODHI

Which, if you're pantheist, means -

BODHI & SINHAYANA

Literally everything -

SINHAYANA

That you're simply not invited

anymore?

BODHI

(pained)

We know making others feel inferior

can be hard work.

SINHAYANA

But we also know your inner child

needs instant gratification. Now.

BODHI

(cheerful)

Which is why we displaced a

local community to bring you HOLY

AS FUCK SPIRITUAL RESORT & SPA!

They start walking around the lavish, mock pre-columbian

resort. Aztec statues serve as fountains, hi-tech tipis come

with aircon, and Shipibo-tiled infinity pools overlook virgin

beaches. With just the one banana boat.

SINHAYANA

Tucked away in a gated development

far above the poverty...

BODHI

(disgusted)

Violence -

SINHAYANA

(even more disgusted)

Disease -

BODHI

(more yet)

Crime -

SINHAYANA

(nearly puking)

And general yuck of the people

sad enough to actually live in this Instagram hotspot,

it's the perfect place to settle...

BODHI

Once and for all...

SINHAYANA

Who...

Bodhi bangs out some beats on a portable bongo drum.

BODHI & SINHAYANA

Is the MOST spiritual?
