The Hounds and the Leashless
Jan. 3rd, 2004 06:05 pmInspired by Thomas' concerns that Newshounds might become to Soap-Opera-ish.
Renata walks in to a high end restaurant and joins Hal O'Peridol at a table.
Hal: Oh Renata, I'm so glad you could come.
Renata: Yes, we need to talk.
Hal: I love you so.
Renata: I love you too Hal.
Hal: You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that.
Renata: You've waited all your life Hal, and finally I've said it.
Hal: Oh Renata!
Renata: After all, what kind of mother would let her son grow up and never tell him she loves him?
Hal: What? You're my . . . mother?
Renata: Yes Hal.
Hal: How come you never told me?
Renata: I only just remembered . . . after the car crash with Rochelle. You see, it happened the year I had amnesia.
Hal: You had amnesia for a whole year?
Renata: Yes, and I've only just now remembered what happened. I spent that year on a vessel in the merchant marine.
Hal: And my father?
Renata: Dead.
Hal: But who was it?
Renata: It could have been anyone on that ship Hal. It's no wonder I couldn't remember that year, I was repressing it.
Hal: So how do you know my father is dead?
Renata: Well, when the two blue whales struck the boat, you and I were the sole survivors, everyone else was shark chum.
Hal: Hold it, we were both in a shipwreck? Why don't I remember this?
Renata: You were just a poor, naked, blind pup. I curled up around you on a piece of wood from the ship to keep you warm.
Hal: So how did we become separated?
Renata: After the coast guard rescued us we were taken to the pound. As soon as you were weaned, they took you from me. You were adopted by the CEO/Owner of Sunflower Chemical. I was sad to see you go, but a mother couldn't ask for a better life for her son.
Hal: So why didn't you remember any of this?
Renata: Just as I was waving goodbye to you, a bag of IAMS Special Diet fell on my head causing me to remember my real identity and forget the year I spent as an amnesiac.
Hal: So my love for you has just been . . .
Renata: That's right Hal, an Oedipus Complex. Now go find a nice girl to marry and give me grandkids!
