Part 2
Cast: Arnold- Devin Armstrong (prerecorded)
Harold- Jim Vernon
Jeff- Kit
Wendy- me
Harold- Well, it's like this. It was about 09:00h and I was just
getting ready to go to bed-
Jeff- And tell me harold, do you go to bed so early in the morning
because your alarm clock is set for PM rather than AM, an you
haven't yet been able to figure out how to change it?
(LAUGHTER)
Arnold- Close Jeff. Actually Harold works the night shift at an
electronics factory. You're lucky to have a great P.I. like Jeff
on your side Harold.
Jeff- You give me too much credit Arnold. To tell you the truth,
it was just that I had been sleeping days for about a month because
I couldn't change the setting before I figured out to buy a new
alarm clock.
(LAUGHTER)
Jeff- But you digress Arnold. I believe Harold was about to relate
his important and personal news to us all.
Wendy- Yes, I'm quite intrigued by all this. Go on Harold, let it
all out.
Harold- Well, I was about to go to bed, as I said, when the phone
range.
Jeff- You sure it wasn't your alarm clock Jeff? Cause you know-
Wendy- Shush Jeff, let him finish.
Harold- So I answered the phone and who do you think it was?
Arnold- Not your mother Harold.
Harold- My mother's dead Arnold.
(LAUGHTER)
Arnold- I know Harold.
Jeff- Well then I couldn't have been his mother if she's dead
Harold... could it?
Wendy- Of course not Jeff. Now let Harold talk already. Go ahead
Harold.
Harold- Well, it was my boss at the electronics factory. It turns
out that a couple of big guys had gone over there looking for me.
When my boss refused to give them my address, they started wrecking
his office, and telling him that he'd have to take off a lot of
sick days real soon if he didn't.
Jeff- Were they doctors?
Wendy- Shhh!
(LAUGHTER)
Arnold- What were they looking for you for Harold?
Harold- Well, that's the personal part. It seems that a prank I
pulled a long time ago has caught up to me.
Wendy- Oh my goodness. Karma.
Jeff- If you give me the last name of this Karma guy, I'll find him
for you and tell him to lay off. Do you have his address?
(LAUGHTER)
Arnold- Your mind works too fast for me Jeff.
Harold- There is no Karma, Jeff.
Wendy- So what prank had you pulled?
Harold- Well, when I was about eighteen or so, I was washing dishes
at a greasy spoon.
Jeff- Why didn't you just wash the spoon?
Wendy- Shhh!
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- Anyway, one day the owner of the diner drove up in her
shiny, snobby Alfa Romeo, comes in with her boyfriend, and orders
everything off of the menu- even the pumpkin pie!
Arnold- They must have been hungry.
Jeff- Actually, it's more likely that she was expressing what
psychologists have called "Plethoforic Requisition of Currently
Possessed Victuals Syndrome."
Arnold- Now that's just stupid Jeff.
Wendy- Shh! Go on Harold.
Harold- Well, if you knew anything about the pumpkin pie at that
diner, you'd know how hard it is to clean the plate it is eaten off
of. So I decided to play a little trick on Miss. Hotshot so that
she'd think twice before doing that again.
Wendy- What did you do?
Harold- Well, I didn't want to do anything too mean- like slashing
her tires or scratching her car door- you have to import those
types of things for foreign cars. So I just cut her brake line.
Arnold- And now she's sending men to beat you up?
Harold- Well, a little more happened.
Jeff- She had to import a new break line I bet. You'd think that
car companies would make their cars more compatible with each other
for their customers. IT's enough to drive anyone to have someone
bludgeoned.
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- No, she didn't even try to get a new break line. When they
left, after stuffing themselves, she found that she couldn't stop
her car.
Wendy- So what happened to her?
Harold- Last I had heard, she was just entering Kentucky.
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- I thought I'd seen the last of her, but it seems she's got
a long memory, cause it's three years later and now she's trying to
get me back.
Wendy- That's terrifying.
Harold- The irony of all this is that they took the pumpkin pie
with them, plate and all!
Arnold- I feel for you Harold, but I don't see why you feel it's so
personal.
Harold- Well, I didn't mention why she might be especially
displeased with me on top of cutting her break line.
Jeff- You bought out all of the already imported ones?
Harold- No...
Arnold- Well what is it Jeff?
Harold- This is really difficult to admit.
Jeff- You weren't wearing any pants when you bought out all of the
already imported break lines.
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- No...
Wendy- Oh please Harold, don't keep us in suspense!
Harold- Well...
