MiSTing Slick in: "Off-Road Brawl" part 2 of 3

[Tjats]

Bridge of the SOL. Mike and the bots have papers and pencils in front of them
and only Mike is writing(since the robots can't move their arms). Mike looks
at Cambot.

Mike: Welcome back. I've asked the 'bots to write better versions of this
story we're reading in order to actualy make it sell. Crow, you're first.
Crow: Thank you, Mike. I added a love interest with the two characters and
also added conflict, both of which the origional story was lacking.
Mike: But, Crow, the two characters are both males.
Crow: Do you know how much a gay book goes for on the market these days? We
could have a movie deal going and everything!
Mike: Well, okay. Tom, how did you do?
Servo: Well, this may sound weird, but I put us in the story, and we sit and
heckle through it.
Mike: Kind of what we are ding right now.
Servo: Exactly!
Mike: Alright, that's a good idea. Gypsy, what did you write?
Gypsy: Well, I couldn't think of anything since I wasn't reading it with you
guys.
Mike: Oh, well, sorry, Gyps. Tell you what, why don't you come read it with
us?
Servo: Yeah! There's lots of room in the theater!
Gypsy: I don't know, you guys. I was in there before that one time...
Crow: Yeah, but that was a MOVIE! How bad could a little dinky story be?
Gypsy: Well, okay.
Mike, Crow, and Servo: Yay!

Mike: Gyps, why don't you say it?
Gypsy: My pleasure, Mike! AAAAHHH! WE GOT STORY SIGN!!!!!!

Mike, Crow, Servo, and Gypsy enter the theater.

>Slick's car pulls into an area on the road where three houses are grouped
>together. On the side of the road, a sign says WELCOME TO DULLSVILLE. >POP.
5

Gypsy: Pop 5 what?
Mike: Hey, you're getting the hang of it.

>Slick gets out of his car and enters a building that says SHERRIF'S OFFICE

Servo: How could a building talk?

>Inside, Slick finds a room virtualy empty aside from a filing cabinet, a
plaque on >the wall,

Crow: Uh, oh! The room's going to get tooth decay!

>a bare desk aside from the word SHERRIF inscribed on the front, and a large
>yellow star on the floor

Gypsy: I'm a woman, and I would know that's a fashion no-no.

>At the desk sat a Brown-haired woman.
>Woman: "Well, howdy, stranger. What brings you to Dullsville?

Mike[idiodicaly]: My car.

>Slick, taken aback by her beautifulness,

Servo: I'm sure.

>Stammers, "Well...Uh, I....um...gee..."
>Woman: "You gonna sit there and drool all day or spit it out?"

Mike[Idiodicaly]: Duhhhhhhhhhh...okay.

>Slick: "Well, uh, there's this big sumo wrestler type guy wandering around
this >area, and..."

Crow[weeneyish]: He beat the crud outa me.

>Fiona interrupts him: "Y'all mean that big galoot Sumdumguy? That man's just
a >huge bucket 'o' guts."
>Slick: "Yeah. That guy's dangerous. The's got a bomb and..."
>Fiona interrupts him again: "A bomb! Heavens!

Crow: If heaven existed, this story would be over by now!

>We've got to stop him!"
>Slick: "Yes, that's why I'm here. By the way, miss...

Servo[as Slick]: Where's your bathroom?

>Who are you?"
>Fiona: "Well, heavens,

Gypsy: You said "heavens" already.

>I'm just a little ol' sherrif. My name's Fiona."
>Slick: "Mine's Nick T. Slick.

Crow: Can you say "stupid"?

>but you can call me Slick."

Mike: But that's your name.

>Fiona:

Crow[as Fiona]: Heavens!

>"What's the "T"stand for?"

Mike: Totaly sensless.
Crow: Tubby.
Servo: The.
Mike, Crow, and Gypsy: Huh?

>Slick looks embarased.

Mike[as Slick]: I wet 'em.

>Slick: "That's...um...personal."
>Fiona: "I've got a few horses out back."

Servo: So? What does that have to do with anything?
Gypsy: I think we skipped a few pages.

>Slick: "I've got a Jeep"

Crow[as Fiona]: Heavens!

>Slick and Fiona walk outside. Fiona spots the busted up grey Jeep.
>Fiona: "Oh, my! Don't you have style?"

Servo: Was she being sarcastic, Mike?
Mike: I don't know.

>Slick get in the driver's seat and motions Fiona in.

Servo[as Slick]: Come on! Let's enact the final love scene in TITANIC right
before the iceberg!

>Slick: "It may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts, kid.
I've made a few special modifications myself."
>Fiona: "Do you always quote movies?"
>Slick: "Only the bad ones.

Servo: Ouch.
Crow: Zing!

>Get in."
>Fiona hops in and sees a radar screen in place of the dashboard.

Gypsy: -gasp- They stole James Bond's BMW!

>Fiona: "Goodness! What in tarnation is that?"

Mike: It's nice to know she's broadened her exclamation vocabulary.

>A red dot blinks on the radar screen towards the top.
>Slick: "That's our target.

Servo: The fiends! They're hunting red dots!

>He's heading north!"
>Some minutes later, the Jeep speeds along a dusty road.
>Fiona: "What's Sum doing with a bomb? He's as harmless as a fly!"
>Slick: "Well, he ain't any more, Fi! We've got to stop him before he sets it
off! >That thing is as deadly a bomb as you can get!"
>Fiona: "How do we stop him? He's as huge as that mean ol' bull we had at our
anual rodeo last month!

Mike and the bots are asleep. We hear snoring sounds.
