Below is a situation comedy outline titled "Contract or Bust" set in the Secular Koranist World State (SKWS), utilizing all the data I’ve generated on Secular Koranism (Claire Khaw’s definition, SKWS Constitution, SKP Constitution, Manifesto, psychological profiles, pamphlets, speeches, story, essays, marriage bureau guide, implementation report, SKSA Constitution, and prior overviews, including the Concubine Contracts pamphlet). This sitcom episode features an unmarried dating couple quarreling over the boyfriend’s refusal to sign a Concubine Contract, weaving in Secular Koranism’s patriarchal, secular, and order-driven principles for humor and insight.
Situation Comedy Outline: "Contract or Bust"
Show Premise
"Contract or Bust" is a lighthearted sitcom set in New Unity City, the bustling heart of the Secular Koranist World State (SKWS), where everyday citizens navigate the quirks of a society governed by the Secular Koranist Party (SKP). The show follows a colorful cast living under Secular Koranism’s laws—no usury, one-party rule, government slavery, and a patriarchal family focus—finding comedy in their attempts to balance personal freedom with state order. Each episode highlights a Secular Koranism policy, blending humor with the system’s pragmatic edge.
Episode Title: "The Contract Conundrum"
Setting

- Main Set: A cozy apartment shared by Jake and Lila, an unwed dating couple in their late 20s, decorated with SKBN propaganda posters—“Marry Strong, Live Right” (SKP Constitution).
Characters
- Jake Miller: A laid-back factory worker, 28, pragmatic but commitment-shy, loves gambling at the local no-debt casino (Gambling pamphlet). Order-seeking but skeptical of tying the knot (Psychological Profile).

Episode Outline
Act 1: The Spark
- Opening Scene: Jake and Lila lounge in their apartment, sipping legal whiskey (Alcohol and Pork pamphlet). Lila casually mentions a friend’s Concubine Contract—“It’s just smart dating, Jake”—hinting at their two-year relationship. Jake shrugs it off—“I’m not signing my life away over a ‘what if’!”
- Conflict Ignites: Lila presses—“What if I get pregnant? I’m not taking 100 lashes, and you won’t support a kid!” (Family Values pamphlet). Jake laughs—“Then don’t get pregnant!”—igniting a shouting match. Lila storms to the kitchen, muttering about “useless boyfriends.”
- Marge Enters: Marge barges in, baby on hip, bragging about her marriage contract perks (Women’s Role essay). She scolds Jake—“No contract, no backbone!”—and tells Lila, “Dump him if he won’t sign. He’s not serious.” Jake rolls his eyes—“Great, the marriage police.”
Act 2: The Escalation
- Ted’s Take: At the casino, Jake vents to Ted over cards (Gambling pamphlet). Ted, shuffling debt-free chips, warns—“She’s trapping you, man. Next it’s wrist-slapping for forgetting the trash!” (Wife-Beating pamphlet). Jake nods—“I just want fun, not forms.” Ted smirks—“Fun’s free ‘til the lash lands.”
- Lila’s Move: Back home, Lila calls the Marriage Bureau’s Concubine Contracts Department (CCD)—“I need a contract drafted!” (Concubine Contracts pamphlet). She meets Marge there; a counselor explains—“If he signs, pregnancy means marriage, no punishment” (Marriage pamphlet). Lila resolves—“He’ll sign or I’m gone.”
- The Standoff: Jake returns, tipsy but legal (Alcohol and Pork pamphlet). Lila waves the draft contract—“Sign it, or we’re done!” Jake balks—“This is blackmail!”—and stomps out, yelling—“I’m not your paperwork puppet!”
Act 3: The Twist and Resolution
- Street Chaos: Jake stumbles into Officer Kim, slurring—“Women, huh?” Kim fines him $50 for public drunkenness—“Keep it indoors, Miller” (Alcohol and Pork pamphlet). Sobered, Jake heads to Ted’s, who’s prepping for slavery shift—“Lost my bank job to no usury. Don’t lose her too” (Immediate Ban Inquiry).
- Lila’s Epiphany: Marge lectures—“A man who won’t sign isn’t worth your womb!” Lila softens—“Maybe he’s scared, not shallow.” She calls Jake—“Let’s talk, no ultimatums.”
- Climactic Confrontation: At the apartment, Jake admits—“I don’t want lashes or a kid I can’t ditch” (DNA Testing pamphlet). Lila counters—“I don’t want lashes either! It’s protection, not a cage.” They laugh—Jake grabs the contract—“Fine, but I’m still the boss!” Lila smirks—“We’ll see about wrist-slaps.”
- Closing Scene: They sign at the CCD, counselor nodding—“Smart move.” Marge toasts with pork ribs (Alcohol and Pork pamphlet)—“To marriage, eventually!” Ted groans—“I’m next, aren’t I?” Laughter fades to SKBN jingle—“Date Smart, Marry Strong!”
Themes and Humor
- Themes: Tension between freedom and order (Freedom pamphlet), patriarchal roles (Women’s Role essay), and pragmatic solutions (Concubine Contracts pamphlet)—Secular Koranism’s balance shines through.
- Humor: Jake’s gambling quips vs. Lila’s lash fears (Gambling, Family Values pamphlets), Marge’s smug superiority (Education pamphlet), Ted’s slavery gripes (Economics pamphlet), and Kim’s dry fines (Alcohol and Pork pamphlet)—policy quirks drive laughs.
