25th Inning

[Somewhere, in a warehouse uptown, Scout stands in front of a small film crew and a director. He's currently dressed as the impressive, glorious image of a young Soviet soldier who is defeating their capitalist and Nazi enemies and leading the loyal workers to victory.]

Okay, so, I stab this Nazi guy, then kick the American guy in tha face, then I say... what the crap, I can't read this. I don't speak Russian! What's it say? .... "Nothing will stop us! We are Russians, we will overcome!"* ...Are you freakin' serious? Awright, whatevah. Let's just get this over with.


[Later, back at home the efficiency apartment, a phone call!]

This is it? Geez. Well if this only lasts as long as Westport, whatevah, this'll be a breeze. They've made me inta some kinda movie star fer their lousy Commie movies, but it beats the factory 'n' all that. I mean, I guess I am a pretty sweet choice ta be the hero, right? 12 hour workdays kinda blow though. What they stick tha rest 'a you chucklenuts with?

It's better than the factory, so I'm not complaining. I get to walk around town as I see fit.

And I'll be sure to tell my supervisors what a fine, upstanding example of Soviet youth you are, Scout.

'S what I thought.

Ha, maybe I'll get a promotion and get like, 5 beets a day now.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

That's just crazy talk. Aim for something more realistic, like three and a half.

[Sigh.]

This place sucks worse than usual.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

That's fer sure. But my guess is it won't last forever. Or that jerk Russia's got somethin' ta do with this.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I hope not. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss good old Mayfield already.

I bet the creepy jerk is crying tears of joy right now.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Haha, I was tellin' Ryo I KNEW people were gonna start sayin' that.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Saying what? That I miss Mayfield, or that Russia is a creepy jerk?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Missin' Mayfield. Everyone already knows Russia is a creepy jerk.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

That's a very good point.

But yeah... it kills me to say so, but I think we can all agree that this is much worse.
