AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggh!
Finally, one of Monroe's bona fide real scenes appears, absolutely pivotal in terms of his characterization - and the poor actor (that is; me) won't be here!
I'll be off the net for nearly two weeks - by no means letting BBM in the lurch as I'm meeting up with Brokies several times in several places..... but I don't think I can manage to be Monroe in the "Ennis delivers the kids to Alma at the store" scene.
**sniff**
I suppose anyone who feels like stepping into Monroe's shoes, please feel free.
I've been building up to this scene so I figure I can let you have the summary of what I was planning would happen; - the "Condiments" slip of the tongue was supposed to make poor Monroe completely frantic that he'd exposed his culinary leanings and endangered himself to someone who beat down two wonderfully gastronomic bikers, after all, and who in Monroe's view surely must be a "Cibophobe".
And since Monroe doesn't get to see just who ruins the peanut display, he'll of course think it was Ennis, flying into a rage. After all he's seen Ennis lose it before, and the peanuts diisplay is his (Monroe's) special creation, which Alma thought well of and said so. Poor Monroe will wonder why the peanuts went flying - was it because Ennis suspects Monroe's feelings for Alma? Or doesn't he like peanuts? Or was it the "condiments" being mentioned that made him react with rage? Monroe will simply be a nervous wreck after Ennis innocently drops the girls off, having no idea of the significance of either "condiments" nor peanut displays nor Monroe's many worries and fears.....
Which might be the message such as it is - that very often we worry far too much about stuff that doesn't really exist except in our own mind - or at least we make our worries grow unneccessarily.
I'm sure there would have been crazy, funny detours in every direction and probably Monroe would be in dire need of various new therapy sessions including ones with the divine Ms. C - but alas! Unless Jack and Lureen keeps their current car action going for another 2 weeks.... I can't act Monroe in the next scene.
Good luck to whoever takes over Monroe in the meantime! He's fun to play with - do what you want with him on the PT while he's yours.
