MONROE:

((While rushing frantically through the crowd, distinctly hears a question drifting loopily - or fuzzily - after him:))

TERRY CLOTH:

**  Hey, MONROE, when you go down the produce aisle, do you ever think everyone is looking at you, like they know?  *8

((Panics some more))

%% Pretend you didn't hear, pretend you didn't hear, there's nothing to hear, here! %%

** 'Course I sometimes think so. And on those days when I go over to the fresh meats selection, there's every last little pork chop looking at me, like they all know too......... **

(( TERRY CLOTH, though he thinks MONROE is adorable  , cannot help but tease him...  ))


TERRY CLOTH:

**  Can't go in the condiments aisle, either, can ya, Bud?  **




**  And it ain't even safe to snake down the dairy aisle, is it?  **

YOUNG ENNIS:

(( Ennis is trying to shake the pain out of his hand.  He just punched this biker dude and memories of him punching Jack took over his mind.))

(( Ennis desperately looks around forTERRY to wipe the blood off his knuckles, but all he sees is this well endowed gray towel.))

TERRY CLOTH:

**  Look, ENNIS, flattery will usually get you everywhere, but can this family go nowhere without having major bodily disharge issues?!  Servin' as this BLANKET ain't no picnic... I got your blood, a smidge a VICK's from where ALMA is sittin', snot from some Boy Scout with a pollen allergy, JENNY's pee, and let me tell you ALMA JUNIOR ain't exactly got her diaper on too tight neither, she must a heard them fancy French biker guys talkin' about poop-on mustard.  This is a g-dd*mn bitch of an unsatisfactory hygiene situation.  Now just stop thinkin' a JACK until I get laundered again, OK?!  The fireworks are doin' enough exploding for one night.  Sheesh....     ))

YEE   HAWWWWW!!!!

YOUNG JACK:

((Jack tries to see whats goin' on in the three-point race that everyone's hollering about...))

%% Hey, hold the horses!! Ain't that Jimbo in there? Someone needs to get in there and help him out!! Apparently too much Bimbo ain't too good fer ya. But I coulda told 'em that.%%

((Jack directs his attention to the red blur flashing by on the horse's back.))

%% And this pretty little filly is just prancing around for attention, leavin' poor Jimbo out there in that Texas heat. Someone get 'em some water at least!!%%

[Daniel]

((MEANWHILE .. Back at Lucise's trailer..))


**
Umm, Guy .. Like I said to you before, I got something I wanna talk to ya about.  Um, it has been on my mind for days and I can't seem to focus on anything, just look at the knitting I tried to do there, just horrible ..  Anyway, you feel like talking now ..?  It's jus' that I really need to get this thing off my chest.. Wait, I need a stiff drink, fancy some whiskey or something?
**

GUY RAPHAELSON:

((Guy looks up, concerned by the note of worry in Lucise's voice.))

**What's wrong? Did something happen, Lucise? Are the sheep alright? Did Ms. Snow's refrigeration unit give out? Have the elephants stopped digesting properly?--**

((Guy shakes his head.))

**Oh no, that can't be it. I'm sorry, Lucise, I've got work on the brain. This sounds serious, whatever it is you have to tell me. I guess I'd better get a drink if you think its that serious.**

[Lumière]

INDAPADDOCK:

((Lucise pours some whiskey for Guy and himself ..



..and proceeds to sit beside Guy, taking Guy's hands in his and looking straight into his eyes..))


**
Guy, I do have something to tell you.  Umm, I really don't know how to get it out.  Please bear with me..thing is..umm, I got a letter the other day from my Ma and ..umm, she would like me to return home and take over the sheep operation we got goin' there.  I don't know, but I think she has been looking for nice girls I could marry too..shit, I dont know..
**

((Lucise lets go of Guy's hands and grabs his whiskey glass, emptying its contents in one gulp..))

**
Umm..thing is..I know she needs me.  I know I can't leave her when she wants me by her side ..  But I dint tell her yet that I am in love with someone here .. that I would like to stick around here and keep working on Broken Arsed Woolen Ecstacy products and get to spend more time with ..you.  Leaving Broken Arsed is proving to be harder than I ever imagined..shit!  I just can't ...
**

((Lucise lowers his head, holding it in his hands, his eyes starting to tear up ..))

[Daniel]

GUY RAPHAELSON:

((Guy is perplexed, agitated, and worried by Lucise's heartfelt apologetic explanation.))

((He gets up and begins to pace around the trailer.))

**This isn't fair, Lucise. I just met you... Does she need you right away?**

((Guy waits for a moment for Lucise to respond, then charges forward anyway, still agitated.))

**Maybe she doesn't need you right away. You can at least stay with m-... I mean stay and finish the production with us, right? So many of our other production members have gone missing on various trips. First Terry Cloth gets kidnapped, then JBB vanishes somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean (Do you think he was near that Bermuda Triangle?), and then we have a missing announcer, and now you have to go.... Where is home anyway?**

Dearest Wonderful Performers,

Effective immediately, I am resigning as Casting Director, and as Mr. Raymille's assistant.  I haven't been keeping up with the job well for the last couple of weeks, and it's not fair to you all.

I'll admit that when someone I roped into offered a role to is particularly funny, or brilliant, or poignant, I feel a certain self-congratulatory tender pride.

Love,

Elle

EllemeNO-O-O-O-OOOOO!!!!!

(( Upon hearing of Ellemeno's resignation, the FSD bows deeply in respect to Ellemeno's great contribution to the Performance Thread.  The FSD then bestows upon her a special gift that is known as the most potent and popular enhancer of good fortune, a powerful magnifier of wealth, business, prosperity and riches. ))

** It is a Natural Crystal Lotus Water Fountain.  The rolling ball water feature is designed with a crystal carved lotus.  The lotus is carved from the superior natural Yellow Flourite crystal; yellow is also the color of wealth, royalty and power, and yellow crystals in specific belong to Period 8's gemstone, which means they produce the maximum earth energy to spark up your luck for Period 8's earth element. **

** While the FSD will miss Ellemeno's servile, puerile, obsequiously sycophantic fawning over Director Raymille, she wishes her the best and wonders if she won't reappear in another incarnation at another time... **

Thank U so much, Elle, for encouraging me. U saw in me the hidden Alma and Aguirre. I even had to jump from Aguirre's trailer to Alma's bedroom with not enough time to take the toothpick out of my mouth!! Say you'll stay on as LSP horse, though!!!
