"Sally Resse Japhael - Live From Coruscant"
(We open on a slightly surreal vision of the normal Sally Jesse
audience. Instead of drooling psyschopaths, we instead have
people who *look* like they belong in the Star Wars universe...
who also happen to be drooling psychopaths. Sally Jesse
enters.)
SRJ: Hello, everyone. Today's show is a bit different.
Ed McMahon: HIYOOOOOOOOO!
SRJ: Get off, McMahon. You're on the wrong show.
Ed McMahon: HO, HO, HO!
SRJ: Fat sycophant.
Ed McMahon: You may already b - (Gets fried out of existence by
Boba Fett to a standing ovation)
SRJ: Much better. Now, as I was saying, we're coming to you
*live* from the (looks down on her notes to see if this is
correct) from.. Coruscant?
Audience: (in unison) THAT'S RIGHT, SALLY!
SRJ: Weird. At any rate, today's theme is "Jedi Masters and the
women who love them".. or something like that. Well, let's
bring out a man who calls himself Qui-Gon Jinn. (Queen's "I
Want It All" heralds the arrival of an absolute hoard of
fawning women - except for one, who remains curiously silent -
a young man and some big bearlike guy in a robe.) I'm guessing
you're Qui-Gon Jinn?
Qui: That is correct. My padawan is known as Ben Kenobi.
Ben: How wise of you, master. (The verirtable harem of women
begin fawning over Qui-Gon, in particular a small, scrawny
woman with dark hair and a jaw like a prize fighter, who is
attempting to climb him like a tree while batting all the other
harem members away.)
SRJ: (mutters) Great. I get rid of one sycophant, and suddenly
I have The Radio City Rockettes on Spanish Fly and some geek
who looks like a reject from a Leo DiCaprio lookalike contest.
(normal volume) Uh... yes. Now, Mr. Jinn..
Ben: (w/ apopleptic rage)That's MASTER JINN, YOU (He says
Master Jinn like one word: Masterjinn)... (the harem begins
growling, their beads and braids a'flyin'..)
Qui: (rolls his eyes) Please, padawan. Sally, you can call me
Qui-Gon if you like.
SRJ: Spiffy. As long as you keep a leash on Norman Bates the
second, there.
Ben: Mother?
SRJ: *ahem* Now, you say your group is here today to protest a
great and tragic wrong that was done to you.
Qui: (nods sadly) A traitor in our midst.
Ben: Yes, a traior!
Harem: (singing this, like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir)
Traiiiittoooorrr!
Cleese: ALBATROSS!
SRJ: Get off, Cleese, you're on the wrong show.
Cleese: Sorry! (leaves)
SRJ: Yes, now...
Ben: YES! She was a TRAITOR! A foul, hell spawned DEMON in our
MIDST!
Qui: Er, padawan..
Ben: Venomous, rancorous...
SRJ: Uh...
Ben: (really off his rocker, now) FOUL HAG! WE'LL HUNT YOU DOWN
YET! WE'LL... (Qui discreetly clobbers him in the back of the
head with a sort of stick)Oooo.... (falls)
SRJ: Uh.. yeah.
Qui: Sorry about that. He's usually more reserved.
SRJ: Reserved for a lunatic asylum, maybe.
Qui: Well, we all have our pecadilloes. (The Harem begins
fawning all over him... again, except for the one who remains
in the back... taking notes. Hmmm...)
SRJ: I don't care if he's got *armadilloes*, he's a head case.
Qui: Please, Sally. We were here to speak of the great
misfortune that has befallen us.
SRJ: You mean besides El Kabong, there?
Qui: Pardon?
SRJ: Sorry, sorry. Now, you had a traitor...?
Qui: (nods sadly) Yes. One I had taken to my heart, and to my
bed.
Ben: (sitting up and rubbing his head)Evil, manipulative, man
stealing..
Qui: (whispers) Quiet, kid, or do you want a swift belt in the
head, again?
Ben: (brightly) You mean, the game where I wear the lizard
suit?
Qui: Oh, God...
Ben: Oh, boy!
SRJ: Uh.. yeah.
Qui: (desperately) She caused us to be evicted from our
*homes*.
SRJ: Now, that isn't very nice, I'll admit.
Ben: Yeah, she caused a DROUGHT!
Harem: (as one.. except for the loner) She brought plagues of
locusts!
Ben: FAMINE!
Harem: Fire!
Ben: (beginning to foam at the mouth again) FLOODS!
SRJ: Uh oh...
Ben: (completely gone) Why, she caused the END OF CIVILIZATION
AS WE KNOW IT!
Qui: (getting caught up in all the excitement) HURRICANES!
(Kenobi and the Harem pretty much tackle Jinn and begin
molesting him)
SRJ: I think we need to go to a commercial break, NOW.
Kenobi: You wore the CINNAMON SCENT! You kinky bitch!
Qui: (to a Harem member with orange hair who appears to have a
horseshoe crab glued to her forehead) Hey, baby, wanna see my
lightsaber?
SRJ: COMMERCIAL!
(We got to a commercial for Gallo Wine, one for Tidy Bowl, and
one for Mentos. It's the freshmaker, you know. When we come
back, order has been restored..ish. Kenobi is out cold again,
the Harem has been muzzled (except for that one loner is still
taking notes..) and Qui Gon is making a concerted effort to
regain his composure. He's also trying to remove the hand of a
heavyset blond harem member wearing fairy wings from the front
of his trousers. Sally, it should be noted, is carrying a large
club and is obviously the one who brained Kenobi. Her hair is a
mess, and her glasses are slightly askew.)
SRJ: Okkkaaaayyy, we're back with "As The Jedi Turns".
Qui: I'm truly sorry, Sally. I.. I normally don't forget myself
like that.
SRJ: Whatever. Now, backstage we have some people who'd like a
*word* with you.... Wymie Flickstein.
Qui: But my name is..
SRJ: It's Wymie Flickstein, not Qui Gon Jinn, you impostor.
Wymie: (attempting to retain his composure) Oh, and just how
did you come to that brilliant conclusion, Poirot?
SRJ: Well, it wasn't speech analysis, that's for sure. I had
some help from *them*. (Cue the Star Wars theme as the *real*
Qui Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi storm out from the back, eyes
burning)
Wymie: Uh oh! (Tries to run, the real Kenobi trips him up and
slams him back in the chair) Wh.. where did you...
SRJ: Oh, that's not all. We've got somebody *else*. (Out from
the back comes a stunning young woman, tastefully dressed in
black leggings, a tunic, and soft leather boots, auburn hair
tied back in a loose ponytail.)
Wymie: Not YOU!
Young woman: Yep. Me.
SRJ: Pardon me for saying so, but those boots are exquisite!
Young woman: I just love my F*ck Me Boots.
Ben: (rising from the ground, sits by Wymie) That's Finely Made
Boots, you ....
SRJ: Oh, put a sock in it, laughing boy.
Wymie: I'm ruined.
SRJ: *Snort* Not a great loss, as I see it.
Ben: Don't worry, master.
Wymie: Shut up, kid.
Ben: Why, we can go home and I can put on the lizard suit..
Wymie: Shut UP...
Ben: (twitching) You can get out the crate of guava melons...
Ben: (totally raving) I'll get the WD40... (a squad of police
come in and grab him) HEY, what are you doing?
Policeman: Got an arrest warrant for Mr. Happy, there.
Wymie: For?
Qui-Gon: Bad acting.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Illegal use of a guava melon.
Policeman: (squints at the warrant)...blah...blah....carnal
activities.....blah, blah.....four-legged creatures....yadda,
yadda, no permit.....(shrugs) Looks like you're just an all
around bastard.
Ben: (totally gibbering) IT'S ALL HER FAULT!
Young woman: (Pointing to Sally's club) Mind if I borrow that?
SRJ: By all means. (The young woman grabs the club and whacks
Ben one right between the eyes)
Ben: Ow. (falls over, unconscious)
Qui-Gon: (approvingly) Nice swing!
SRJ: I've got to ask, how DID you two find out about all this?
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi: (in unison) Her. (The note taking
Harem member steps forward)
Qui-Gon: Permit me to introduce my... mole, if you will, sent
by the Jedi Council themselves. E'D'nad, you did well.
SRJ: Well, what a day this has been. Join us next time for
Hermaphroditic Gay Left Handed Dentists With Hangnails Who
Forgot Their Mother's Birthday. (to the Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan
Kenobi, E'D'nad, and the young woman) C'mon, let's blow this
popstand. I know a place back on Earth that does Irish Coffee
that is to die for, out on 25A on Long Island.
