  • Brokeback got us good.
** And a better supported front...  ;)  **

~~Speaking of that, where WERE my supporting players JBB and Terry when my big flipover scene happened?? Dallying with jammies and who knows what else!! If it weren't for Vick's I would be on actor's embarassing disability with more than a wardrobe malfunction!! ~~

MONROE:

%%I've gotta get moving on this help urgently required situation.%%

((Gets hold of pen and paper and sits down to create "help wanted" poster))

%%If they only knew just how urgently it's required, and exactly what kind of help I'm looking for!%%

((Blushes furiously, bites pen absently for a while, finally starts writing:))





((Looks at finished poster))

**Sigh**

%%I guess not. But I sure would have liked to place this up front to see what happens. %%

((Crumples the poster and starts from scratch))

GUY RAPHAELSON:

((After flying for what seems like hours, Guy finally arrives in Texas in the blazing June heat.))

%% It's 108! How do they stand it down here!%%

((As the sun begins to sink beneath the horizon, Guy looks at the waiting crowd of barely-paid extras who really just came to see a good show at the rodeo. The crowd goes silent as Guy climbs the stairs leading to the announcer's stand.))

**Thud! Thud! Is this thing on? Okay, I guess it is.**

((Guy takes a breath to steady himself.))

**Um, it looks like we may have to cancel this rodeo. We can't seem to find the announcer. We've already called in Inspector Moose, but it looks like we won't find the announcer tonight. So, unless someone else is willing to come up here and be the rodeo ceremonial master, we'll have to cancel and move on to the next scene. Anyone want to try?**

YOUNG JACK:

((Jack can't believe his ears at the terrible turn of events. A missing announcer? What foul play is this? He raises his voice to be heard over the murmur of the crowd.))

**Come on... Somebody get up there. Gotta get a chance at this rodeo prize, whatever it is. That's right, the announcer ain't announced a prize yet.**

((Jimbo stands pensively, noting the hushed anticipation in the stands. Crowd is restless, expectant, even volatile.))

JIMBO:

%%I sure hope this rodeo don't get rained out, so ta speak. I'm particular to our Texas riders, to be sure, but I still wouldn't mind seein' what this Twist fella has to show us. I coulda sworn I seen that announcer earlier. Hope they show.%%

((Jimbo eyes the bull in the pen, hoping to dance with him tonight. Loves to show off for the ladies with his bull-dancin'))

Sexy audience member: I think i'm better for the part. My voice is deeper

((Michael Jackson is suddelny red, and he won't have it))

Michael Jackson: I have more experience in show business, mam. So i fyou please shut up, and sit down!  (;))

Sexy audience member: Whatever.
((Sexy audience member sits down))

Michael Jackson: So, what do you say, Mr Raphaelson?

GUY RAPHAELSON:

((Guy smiles, then wipes the sweat off his brow with his handkerchief.))

**And we have a winner!**

((Guy extends his arm out dramatically towards Mr. Jackson.))

**Come on up, Mr. Jackson. Let's hear your beautiful voice echo through the stands.**

((Guy rushes to hold up a black umbrella for Mr. Jackson, even though the sun has practically set.))

YOUNG JACK:

((Confused by Michael Jackson's appearance, Jack hollers out to the nearby rodeo hands.))

**Who the hell is this Jackson lady, and why is Guy calling her Mister?**

((Hops a little bit, intrigued by the way YOUNG JACK's legs tighten around his back...))
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.
