Swiss Patent Office Night
MAN: I have some aerosol spray cheese and wheat biscuits.
EINSTEIN: Where do you get all this stuff?
MAN: Same place you got that ...bong thing. This IS a patent office.
[They spray cheese on biscuits and eat greedily. Einstein
accidentally sprays cheese on his cuff and licks it off.]
EINSTEIN: Mmmmm. We do stand on the shoulders of giants.
MAN: I wonder if it gives them bursitis.
EINSTEIN: We are destined for greatness--sometimes I sure of it.
It feels like a calling, a destiny...
MAN: At the very least it would give them sore shoulders.
EINSTEIN: Someday they will all laugh at me.
MAN: Maybe if we designed shoulder pads for the giants...
EINSTEIN: Enough with the shoulders of giants already. I'm trying
to have a sense of impending destiny.
MAN: I think my destiny is not to get promoted until
Schimmelpletzer is transferred. He has it in for me.
EINSTEIN: Schimmelpletzer is a schmuck.
[They touch elbows, link arms, and pound each other's foreheads
with their fists.]
MAN: Hey Al, I forgot to show you this. [retrieves box from
behind his desk, removes complicated electronic gizmo from box]
EINSTEIN: Dude?
MAN: [reading patent application] One Multivariant Universal Time
Displacement and Travel Velocipedic Generator. By Peter Joseph
Lenné and Wilhelm X. Contains operational prototype. Al, it's a
time machine!
EINSTEIN: How does it work?
MAN: It says, "Press Here."
EINSTEIN: So press there.
MAN: Should be good for a few laughs. Okay, I'll press here. On
my mark. Mark.
[The stage fills with white light.]
TO BE CONTINUED.... hopefully by someone else
