Show concept: The Entourage. Character and shot rules: Production Spec. Numbers: Verified Data Sheet.
Every episode ends on the catchphrase. “This is why I’m high.” The line is the domain, so the sign-off does the funnel work with no “link in bio.” Delivered flat and sincere, never explained, never in the first three seconds. See The Funnel.
Pack Summary
Season one is a rarity ladder. Each episode introduces a terpene less common than the last, so the season has a built-in arc without needing a plot.| ID | Character | Share of Strains | Runtime | Test Variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ENT-001 | Limonene, the hype friend | 25.4% | 60s | Baseline — does character content work at all |
ENT-002 | Myrcene, the sleepy giant | 45.8% | 60s | Most common character, most relatable |
ENT-003 | Caryophyllene, the one with a badge | 15.2% | 60s | Hardest science in the pack |
ENT-004 | Terpinolene, the one nobody has met | 4.5% | 45s | Rarity as story |
ENT-005 | Linalool, the ghost | 1.5% | 45s | Season-one payoff |
Each terpene needs its own locked character. Build them as
terpene-limonene-v1, terpene-myrcene-v1, and so on, using the same discipline as the Professor High character lock. A cast that drifts is worse than no cast — recurring characters only build equity if they are recognizably the same each time.Character Lock Summary
Build these once. Full blocks belong in the Production Spec once the designs are approved.| Character | Design Direction | Signature |
|---|---|---|
| Limonene | Bright citrus-yellow, sunglasses pushed up, never stops moving, talks over people | A rising three-note chime |
| Myrcene | Large, slow, heavy-lidded, deep voice an octave down, always seated | A low descending drone |
| Caryophyllene | Scrubs and a security badge, calm, professional, works nights | A door-buzz tone |
| Terpinolene | Angular, offbeat, dressed like nobody else in the room, arrives late | An off-key stinger |
| Linalool | Muted lavender, soft-spoken, appears only in low light, rarely finishes a sentence | A single soft bell |

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Professor High, hushed, low light + static chest-up + dim lab, mostly shadow
SAYS: PROF: *(quietly)* "There is one more. Almost nobody has met her."
ON SCREEN: ONE MORE
2. (0:04-0:16) Professor High, quiet + slow push-in + rarity chart, near-invisible sliver
SAYS: PROF: "Linalool. The lavender one. He leads about one in sixty-six
strains. One and a half percent."
ON SCREEN: LINALOOL — ABOUT 1 IN 66
3. (0:16-0:26) LINALOOL, muted lavender, barely lit + locked wide + shadow-heavy frame
SAYS: LINALOOL: *(softly)* "People say my name when they mean..." *(trails
off)* PROF: "She does that."
ON SCREEN: (no caption)
4. (0:26-0:38) Professor High, neutral, direct to lens + static chest-up + shortlist card
SAYS: PROF: "Here is what matters. Every time someone tells me they had the
best sleep of their life — this is usually who they met. And they almost
never find her again, because there are thirty-seven doors and nobody
labels them."
ON SCREEN: 1 IN 66. NONE LABELED.
5. (0:38-0:45) Professor High, warm + slow push-in + closing card
SAYS: PROF: "So if you ever find one, write it down. Save this. That is the
whole lesson."

Production Batch Notes
- Build the cast before shooting anything. Five locked characters, reference stills for each, archived. A cast that drifts across episodes destroys the only asset this show is building.
- The comedy is entirely Professor High’s flat reaction. The terpenes play it big; he plays it tired. He never laughs, never winks, never signals that the premise is funny.
- Season-one order is the rarity ladder: 45.8%, then 25.4%, then 15.2%, then 4.5%, then 1.5%. Post in that order — the escalating scarcity is the season arc, and
ENT-005only lands if the audience has watched the numbers shrink. - These are the most expensive episodes in the library — multi-character generation, longer runtimes. Shoot them only after the cheap shows have proven the audience exists. If
ENT-001underperforms badly, pause the whole show rather than pushing through the pack. - If a single terpene catches on in comments, that character gets the next four episodes. Audience-selected favorites are how a cast becomes IP.
