Good news, Studio 60 fan! According to Entertainment Weekly, Aaron Sorkin will be writing the upcoming musical adaptation of the Flaming Lips’ Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots:

Sorkin’s reps confirmed on Tuesday (March 20) that the West Wing creator has officially signed on to write the musical’s script. ”Maybe that means they’ll need to build a stage with lots of hallways on it,” joked [Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne] of Sorkin’s fondness for walking-and-talking characters. ”It will be a giant tube that’s always moving!”

And always annoying! In fact, we’ve obtained a page of dialogue from Sorkin’s upcoming opus, and we’re already excited:

CHARACTER 1: So there’s this girl, Yoshimi. CHARACTER 2: Yoshimi? CHARACTER 1: Yoshimi. CHARACTER 2: Ok, so this girl Yoshimi… CHARACTER 1: She has to battle these pink robots. CHARACTER 2: Wait–she has to battle robots? CHARACTER 1: Yes, robots. CHARACTER 2: Pink robots? CHARACTER 1: Yes. CHARACTER 2: Okay. CHARACTER 1: Good. (beat) CHARACTER 2: Bush is a dick.

See you in 2010 or so!
