The slowness with which you endeavour
Makes me just as slow as you.
And unless I'm caught in a responsible situation
There's nothing more that I can do.
And it's alright,
I finally got a band willing to throw
Their caution firmly into the air
For the theme of the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.
The qualifications I have
Really do suprise me.
Sometimes the best stew that one can make
Is the one that she lets be.
But change is coming and you never know
But they might not change anything.
They might just serve to find an interesting way
Back to the beginning of the ring.
And it's alright,
There's lots of things to see as you go.
Right back to where you started
On the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.
And Canada Day is when the iron curtain parted
For the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.
And the room is full, but the people soft-hearted
On the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.
They're trying a mind meld.
Athrow seems curious to know why that plant is so mysterious.
But maybe he's just playing at his games,
Avoiding questions that ask him to explain
his own sordid past.
Stacy's quite willing to risk the destruction of Wendy's and Jeff's
minds.
Anything to erase any hint,
That there is something in her life that's hid-
den from her eyes.
Jeff's back to normal he sees no bad points about leaving his skin.
Maybe his foolish excursions will bring,
A clue to the very important thing
about the unknown plant.
Oh Wendy played by me you are so pretty and so caring.
Go ahead and do what you are told.
It's just that no one else is as bold
to let their minds unfold.
Harold's still here he may need to find a new place to adhere.
Until then he can find a place
In what remains after important plays,
and other lives are done.
And other lives are done.
Cast: Any-Name-Beginning-With-"A"- Ines
Harold- Johnathon
Jeff- Nathalie
Stacy- Amy
Wendy- me
Ahisdho- I refuse to let Wendy risk her life by trying to leave her
body and enter Jeff's.
Harold- I don't think it's your decision, Athvast.
Aoih- Well, someone has to speak the voice of reason here. I mean, it's not like you guys are hoping to unlock the secrets of the universe here. You only want to get into Jeff's mind to find some clue, that might not even be there, as to why he was hired to follow Stacy for the death of a stupid plant.
Jeff- Maybe it wasn't so stupid.
Aphios-What?
Jeff- Maybe that plant was some sort of alien, or a hybrid with consciousness.
Stacy- Jeff's right. I think it's worth risking his and Wendy's minds to find out for certain.
Apshi- You only want to save yourself from this lunatic millionaire who hired Jeff.
Harold- Oh, look who can look into people's souls now.
Wendy- Well you know I haven't had much in my life you know except for maybe Asore and this house which has recently been fixed by the Scientific Community you know and all you you you know we never got around to being friends again but you know I wouldn't mind risking my sanity you know if it meant finding a piece of information which someone might find boozeful I mean useful.
Harold- Wendy's right, Abolbold. One never knows what one will find unless one looks. Wouldn't you rather die with your eyes open, than die with them closed?
Axio- Shut-up, Harold.
Jeff- I'd like to die with one of each.
Azxoi- Shut-up, Jeff.
Stacy- Well, what's it going to be then? Are we going to do this thing or not?
Jeff- I'm all for it. I haven't gotten closer to 5 inches to a woman, never mind having one inside of me.
Aohis, Harold (together)- Watch it.
Stacy- Wendy, what do we need to begin?
Wendy- Well you know first I need a drink you know to you know you know loosen the spirits you know and Jeff will have to stand on his head because you know I could say it has something to do with poles and attraction but really you know well that is why did you get my drink?
Jeff- Wow, you mean I get to brain meld with someone and stand on my head?... ... I love you guys.
Aois- Ya, well this may be the last time you see any of us.
Harold- Oh, stop worrying, Ajkoblow. Switching brains is a very common procedure. The worst that can happen is that it becomes irreversable, leaving Wendy in Jeff and Jeff in Wendy; in which case I'd have to marry Jeff.
Asoih- I'M married to Jeff!
Harold- We'll talk about that later.
Jeff- Wow, I've never been fought over before.
Aoihoisf- Shut-up, Jeff.
Harold- Hey! Watch how you talk to her.
Aophsf- Aye yae yae.
Jeff- OK, I'm standing on my head.
Wendy- Ok you know so here we go you know I've only done this once you know and I wasn't able to go back you know which is why I have no family that will recognize me but you know what my mother always said you know but I guess she didn't and I used to be taller and here we go.
Harold- Wow, that's amazing. I didn't think it was possible to have such a look of concentration in someone's eyes that you can see that they're looking right through you.
Jeff- It tickles.
Stacy- Just relax, Jeff.
Aoihsf- You guys are making a big mistake.
Harold- Adios, please, you can't change things, so you may as well support them.
Asshole- Spoken like the asshole that you are.
Harold- You're the asshole, Asshole.
Stacy- Guys, please.
Wendy- Well you know now I'm seeing what's inside Jeff you know and this won't take long but you know I only have to separate what he knows you know from who he is you know and then I can substitute who he is with who I am and then know what he knows you know so now I'm going in.
Jeff- Does this mean we're married?
Aohis- You're married to me, Jeff!
Harold- We'll talk about that later.
Stacy- So by taking on Jeff's memories, you can bypass the hypnotically influenced barriers he has, denying him access to anything he might know about the plant I killed?
Jeff- That's right you know and you know here I am and I'm not sure but I think I think yes you know this body has a lack of fluids you know so can I have a drink?
Wendy- I have breasts!
Stacy- What do we call you now, Wendy: Wendy or Jeff?
Wendy- Are you asking me?
Stacy- Never mind.
Jeff- Well you know I know what the problem is you know now that I know what Jeff knows you know and I won't go into it too deeply you know because he's not mine to reveal you know but I may have different thoughts you know about him once I get back into my own body.
Wendy- So you think you can switch us back once you got the information we're seeking?
Jeff- Well you know it's not really up to me you know because I'm only me and don't have the memories of how to switch back you know but I should you know but it got stuck in my body you know so you're going to have to tell me how Jeff I mean Wendy I mean Jeff.
Jeff- But I have no memory of how to reverse the brain switching process. That information must be stored in that locked up part of my psychy that the plant information was in! What do we do?
Wendy- Well...
