Now that we have an official doomsday clock, we need to turn this place into a blockbuster action flick. You know, Towering Inferno. Poseidon Adventure. Titanic. That kind of carp.

:snaps that little black and white clapboard thingy:

Places everyone. . . . I need the extras running around. Good, excellent. Now cue the wind machine . . .

And *ACTION!!!*

******************

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! I'M NOT READY TO DIE. I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"

"NO!!!! IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME! SAVE YOURSELVES. LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

:cough, sputter:

FLEEEEEEE! Flee for your lives!

KLUURS: Cindy!! CINDY!!! (pulls Cindy from river...)

KLUURS: "Cindy - speak to me!!! Don't leave me!"

CINDY: Coughs, sputtering water...

KLUURS: "Here let me get you out of those wet things..."

I don't have a clock... I think I can stay..

rkvs: Here, Kluurs, you go wring out her clothes, while I administer the "Harmless" maneuver.


(rk aside to Director: "Can't we work on that line just a LITTLE? It could really harm my standing in the TeenMags. " )

Didn't Dr. Angst or Prof. Satiate publish anything in this area?

huff

Yes. When the clock runs out for those of us who have them, *we* all disappear. And our protagonist apple remains. The irony is that she being the only one without a clock, there is suddenly no one to talk to after 9 p.m. and she's left desolate to write melancholy verse for all eternity in "The Twilight Zone".

(You can have my last nice round number, apple. )

I am real and you* are real
in love with what we make
and what we've made and will,
by our thoughts will ever be
what we are, and who we will
become as you* and me


you* = you (English collective plural)

thank you Rick - I'm quite flattered

Kluurs:

There's always one character in denial. Good creative choice, Apple.

OK, lunch break's over. Back into character, people.

ACTION!!!

*****************

Cindy: CJQ, is :hack, choke: . . . is that you?

Kluurs: Yes, baby. It's me.

KLUUURS: what happend to you? What happened to your clothes???

"IT'S A SIGN!!"
"The end of the world is eminent!"

Bernard: "We're running out of options, people! Think, think everyone, think!"

ChickGrand: "There are always options, Bernard. You know about options, don't ya? We may have to . . . "

Bernard: "Go on."

ChickGrand: "We may have to *eat* someone. Not because we want to --"

:moans of disgust:

ChickGrand: "Suck it up, people! Look. We'll just draw straws, OK. I'm fresh out of straw, but I have quite a lot of piano wire, so we'll just have to make do. Then I will hold the wire in my huge, monster hands and we'll abide by the results."

KLUURS: I brought my own straw...Thank heavens. - Here Cindy, you can have my straw...it's the last straw. Frank gave it to me.

CINDY: But KLuurs - what about you?

KLUURS: If you don't go, you'll regret it.. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life

Cindy: "ANSWER THE BLOODY QUESTION!! I cannot stand it when people don't answer my questions! Am I not speaking English here! 'What about you?' was the question. Focus, man, focus!!!"

KLUURS: If you stayed here with me, you'd just keep throwing yourself at my feet, begging, pleading...It's so difficult...makes it hard for me to practice the piano.

CINDY: So, you want me to go?

KLUURS: Yes, I should have the first movement of the Waldstein done by next week. Go to your Estonia - and play like you've never played...

Jerry Luke popping up out of river: "Did I just hear that the AB Dominatrix is not clothed? Yes, there *is* a G-d!"

TomK: Some people say it sounds like you've never played now...

KLUURS: Tom - you soapy cad! Go back to those Brazilian lesbians and leave us alone.

Jerry Luke, noticing Kluurs: "Hey, who invited Skrat!?!"

Jerry, I've adopted Skrat some time ago - really identify with that character...

Doh! I'm not going to see how this ends, as I'm logging off now and won't have access to a computer until after 9:00. Guess I'll have to see the exciting conclusion when the movie comes out.
