The Never Ending Story

[Nicolette]

Peter suddenly comes to. Seems he was not dead but comatosed from his alcoholic state. He is bewildered as to where he and Judy are, why he feels like he has been dragged to hell and back and why Snout is not around.

Meanwhile everyone had forgotten about poor Florence who was left alone at home as no-one thought of taking her to the funeral/wake amidst their sorrow.

"Gee Pete", said Judy, "lucky we live in the country and nobody decided to do an autopsy on your arse!"

Ken returns to the city, sits down and suddenly the phone rings...

 

[Nicolette]

All Ken could hear was crackle, static and fragmented words from Peter which worried him immensely. He began to think Peter's ghost was haunting him for never returning the brush cutter he borrowed over 6 months ago. :eek:

Little did he know it was the crap mobile reception from a call being made in the country.

Ken rushes out of his house to escape the thought of being haunted. As he makes his way to the agent to sell his apartment, he bumps into his old school girlfriend, Betty!

 

[Nicolette]

Betty was quite the looker and a real good catch. Ken had been divorced for over a year and was now ready to get into a relationship. He was however out of touch in "picking up" so his one liners were definitely outdated. What was worse that, looking like he had seen a ghost, Ken was not putting his best self forward.

Ken wondered what to say........ how did he start a conversation with the thoughts of ghosts in his head and in a panicked state?

 

[anthony]

Ken looked at Betty, then pushed past her, running down the street screaming, "ghosts, ghosts, ghosts..."

 

[Nicolette]

Poor Betty looked at her friend Angela and shook her head. Angela said "see, that's why I told you to dump him in high school... he is nutty". :eek:

 

[anthony]

"Do ya reckon he has PTSD Betty?", Angela said. "It is the latest trendy accessory to have your know Angela", Betty stated.

 

[Nicolette]

"What is PTSD" said Betty. "If it's a trendy accessory does is stand for Purse, Tote (Bag), Scarf and Dog?"

 

[anni]

"Yes! That's exactly right, Angela, however did you know that? Did you also take the self-diagnosis test on the internet?" Betty looked worried. " So you see, it's what I named our twins, PT and SD. I never told him, but he's the father of my babies, potty or not I must go tell him finally and collect the back child support!"

 

[Nicolette]

"Potty.... he's insane! Isn't what he has contagious? I mean don't they catch PTS and the added D from unqualified therapists these days?"

 

[anthony]

Meanwhile back at the farm, Peter is back in his beer fridge, Judy is in shock and still unsure whether Peter is real or not, Florence is rocking in her chair on the porch, whilst Shoveler and Snout are fighting over the hole the coffin consumed, as fast as Snout fills it in, Shoveler is digging it out again. Then....
