Interview #7 - Butch, Cassidy
(Sisters Gypsy Layla and Nikita Angus interview Butch and Cassidy, finally!Butch,
Cassidy, and Nikita are in the interview room. Gypsy is nowhere in sight. Nikita is
getting anxious.)
Butch: So... now what?
Nikita: Gypsy should be here any minute now...
Cassidy: My patience is wearing this.
Nikita: I have no idea what's keeping her. Just... sit still for a moment.
(Nikita starts to fidget. Gypsy suddenlly burts into the room, pulling on her vest
and spilling her coffee. There are lipstick marks all over my rough draft,
thankyouverymuch Nikita Roxanne!)
Gypsy: Sorry! Sorry! Overslept!
Butch: FINALLY!
Cassidy: Now can we do this?!
Nikita: Gypsy, you kept us waiting for like ten minutes! And you're not wearing
any make-up!
Gyspy: (taking out her make-up kit) I know, I know, I'm sorry! Someone forgot to
wake me up!You should have started without me!
Nikita: I could never start an interview without you, and did you notice how you
were also late for the Jessie and James interview? It's a Team Rocket conspiracy!
Gypsy: I know! Isn't that weird?
Nikita: Allright. Welcome, Butch and cassidy, to the infamous Angus Sister
Interviews! Please note no Angus can be held accountable for lost or broken
belongings, including body parts.
Butch: That didn't sound right.
Gypsy: (Applying marcara) Nothing we say or do is right.
Nikita: Also, I'd like to congradulate my sister Gypsy on her recent coming out of
the closet as a bisexual!
Gypsy: What?
Butch and cassidy: What?
Nikita: Gypsy, what do you mean "what"? You told me so yourself last night!
Gypsy: Well, I... I didn't say for you to go around advertising! I'm not ready for
that yet!
Butch: She's bisexual?
Gypsy: I am, whats it to ya?
Butch: Thats... kinda hot.
Cassidy: Butch!
Butch: What?
(Gypsy and Nikita giggle)
Nikita: What will James think?
Gypsy: I'm sure he'll be fine with it, I think he's bi too.
Cassidy: Is he?
Gypsy: Well, it's not a definate.
Nikita: Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, baby.
Gypsy: Probably. Now- on to business.
Nikita: Right. So, Butch and Cassidy- were you hired before Jessie and James, or
after?
Cassidy: After. We were the relief. And probably a lifesaver as well.
Gypsy: Let's not go nuts.
Nikita: Is it true you two used to be friends with Jessie?
Cassidy: We hung out in the same crowd, but we were never really "friends".
Butch: Friends of friends.
Cassidy: Right.
Gypsy: What happened with that?
Cassidy: I could finally no longer stand her ego.
Nikita: I can see the logic in that.
Gypsy: Did you ever meet James?
Butch: I did, once.
Nikita: What was your opinin of him?
Butch: He was... just kind of an idiot.
Gypsy: Hey! I'm dating him!
Butch: Sorry.
Gypsy: Thats okay, you're right. He is rather "narrow minded".
Nikita: How come they have black uniforms and they have white ones?
Cassidy: Because they're only trainers and we're masters.
Gypsy: I like the black ones better.
Cassidy: Me too.
Gypsy: You look really good in black, Cassidy.
Cassidy: Um, thank you...
Butch: I think that was a pick-up!
Cassidy: Shut up, Butch!
(Nikita starts to giggle. Gypsy jabs her with her elbow.)
Nikita: Okay, Cas, what's with the hair? Did you never finish styling it or
something?
Cassidy: I am getting SICK of that question! I like my hair this way, okay? More
people questiom me on my hair than they do Jessie on her pole hair! Geez!
Nikita: It looks like two arms sticking out of your head!
Cassidy: IT DOES NOT!
Nikita: Yes it does, look! Fingers and everything! I feel like it's gonna reach out
and throttle me!
Cassidy: I'M GONNA REACH OUT AND THROTTLE YOU!!!!
Nikita: Well Reowr to you too!
Butch: Don't press her, I've been asking her the same question for years and she
won't even give ME a straight answer!
Nikita: Hmph! Must be a stick up her ass.
Gypsy: You two are being awfully mean to Cassidy! I happen to like her hair, and
I can see why she snapped at you! Lay off, a'aight?
Butch and Nikita: OOOOH! Gypsy likes Cassidy!
Cassidy: Stop that! I'm straight!
Butch: She was once, too!
Cassidy: I'm straight!
Butch: Give it a try!
Cassidy: I'm straight!
Butch: Personally, girl on girl action turns me on!
Cassidy: I'm- what??
Butch: (goes pale) Did I just say that out loud?
Gypsy and Nikita: (not) Uh-huh.
Butch: (slaps his forehead) Damnit!
Nikita: (giggling) That was so hot!
(Butch blushes)
Gypsy: Cassidy, is it hot in here? You're sweating.
Cassidy: It's fine.
Gypsy: Would you like to take anything off to cool down?
Cassidy: I said it's fine!
Gypsy: At least let me wipe the sweat off-
Cassidy: Don't come near me, dyke!
Gypsy: Now thats hitting below the belt!...
Butch: Chill out, Cas!
Cassidy: I don't wanna be here anymore!
Nikita: You aren't the first.
Gypsy: Our interviews never want to be here anymore after about the first five
minutes.
Nikita: It's a common thing... and our trademark!
Cassidy: But I bet you never made any of them this uncomfortable!
Gypsy: Gary Oak.
Nikita: Nurse Joy.
Gypsy: And I tried to kill Jessebelle.
Cassidy: You guys are sick!
Butch: I think it's great! You should join Team Rocket!
Gypsy: We did. But it's a secret.
Nikita: We're Team Rocket'zs personal crime syndicate.
Butch: Team Rocket IS a crime syndicate.
Gypsy: Yes, but they don't kill.
Nikita: Thats our job.
Butch: Ah.
Cassidy: Can we go now?
Gypsy: Stay a while, Gorgeous! We ain't done yet!
Nikita: We have a special guest stopping by later!
Gypsy: Two!
Nikita: Right, two! Since our brother Jack is bringing her in!
Gypsy: Jack? I thought Mike was coming!
Nikita: He was, but then his banshee girlfriend Shannon beckoned.
Gypsy: Damn that Irish witch! She's brainwashed our poor niave brother!
Nikita: At least I was able to get Jack.
Gypsy: Jack is cool.
Cassidy: I don't like where this is going...
Nikita: You have every right to be nervous.
Butch: Am I the only one who's anxious to see who's coming?...
Cassidy: Butch, I will NEVER understand you!
Nikita: I must say, Butch, I'm impressed! So far you're the only one who's ever
had a really good time at one of these interviews outside our family!
Butch: I think you guys are a blast! I can't believe people are scared of you!
Nikita: What people?
Cassidy: Lots of people. Some tried to warn us away from showing up. We should
have listened.
Gypsy and Nikita: (slap each other a high-five) ALLRIGHT!
Nikita: Oh, Oh, I've got a question!
Butch: What?
Nikita: Do either of you know what a "neoshipper" is?
(Butch and Cassidy look at each other confused. Gypsy giggles.)
Cassidy: No. What is it?
Gypsy: How about a rocketshipper?
Butch: I've heard that term around, but I don't know what it means.
Nikita: Gakishipper?...
Cssidy: What ARE these weird words?!
(Gypsy and Nikita laugh)
Cassidy: What's so funny?!
Butch: Are you gonna tell us, or what?
Gypsy: If you have to ask...
Nikita: ...You'll never know!
(Theres a knock at the door)
Nikita: Ah-hah! That must be them!
(Nikita opens the door. Their brother Jack enters.He is tall, thin, and pale,
wearing all black. His hair resebles that of gym leader Sabrina's, except relatively
shorter and the bangs are cut even and hang over his dark eyes.)
Nikita: Jack! You're here!
Jack: (expressionless and emotionless) I told you I would be, even on short
notice.
Nikita: Where's...
Jack: She should be right behind me.
(Jessie enters behind Jack)
Jessie: I can't BELIEVE I'm here again!...
Jack: I told you in the car, relax!
(Jessie and Cassidy meet eye to eye)
Jessie and cassidy: What is SHE doing here?!
Gypsy: Butch, Cassidy, meet our big brother Jack! Jessie I believe you are
allready aquainted with...
Cassidy: Now you're just making fun of me! I'm leaving!
Jessie: Me too! You guys tricked me!
(Gypsy pulls her shotgun out from behind her chair, cocks it, and points it at the
girls)
Gypsy: You will both sit down.
(Frightened, Jessie and Cassidy do as instructed.)
Jack: Slick, Sis.
Gypsy: Thanks, Jack.
Cassidy: I can't believe you would do this to me.
Gypsy: It's nothing personal, Gorgeous, it's purely for entertainment.
Jessie: Did she just call her "Gorgeous"?
Nikita: We'll explain later.
Butch: (Quietly observing Jack) What are you WEARING?
Jack: (Gives Butch the evil eye) I dress this way to annoy you.
Gypsy: I have that T-Shirt too.
Butch: You look like you're gonna kill somebody.
Jack: I've killed many people.
Butch: Really.
Jack: I am the angel of death.
Butch: Uh-huh. You look like the angel of death.
Cassidy: Or a corpse.
(Jack stares at cassidy strangely. In a moment the chair she's sitting on flies into
the air and Cassidy spills over. Everyone but Nikita and Jack gasps.)
Nikita: Still living in safferon, eh, Jack?
(Jack makes no reply, but continues to glare evily into nothingness, the same
face he's had on his face since the moment he arrived)
Nikita: how's it going at sabrina's gym? Still bending spoons?
Jack: I was promoted to knives the other day.
Nikita: Cngradulations! ...wait, was that sarcasim?
(Meanwhile, Butch and Gypsy are helping Cassidy off the floor)
Gypsy: I wish you hadn't done that!
Jack: And why is that?
Gypsy: Well how would you feel if I knocked over Sabrina?
Jack: (suddenlly blushing but pretending he isn't) You wouldn't be able to get
near her.
Nikita: (whispers to Butch) He likes Sabrina.
Butch: Ah.
Jessie: Do that again, Jack! Or make Cassidy's head explode!
Cassidy: You stay out of this, Witch!
Jessie: If I have to be here, I get to see that ***** bleed to death!
Butch: (murmurs) Been sayin' that for years...
Cassidy: You got somethin' to say, Froggo?
Butch: Naw... I'm gonna let Jessie do that.
Jessie: (Pointing to Butch) He's not so bad after all! How come you were so mean
the first time we met at the breeding center?
Butch: I was just playing along. I really didn't give a damn.
Nikita: (Hugs Butch) I love this kid! He should be an Angus!
Gypsy: (Hugs Cassidy) I wish you guys would be nicer to her!
(Cassidy shoves Gypsy away from her)
Gypsy: (Grins) I love her!
Jack: Aren't you dating James?...
Gypsy: Um... don't tell him, okay?
Jessie: Wait a minute, are you bi?
Gypsy: Sure am, Sweetheart.
Jessie: when did that happen? And, for the love of God and all that is holy, why
CASSIDY?
Gypsy: I think it was her eyes. And if you're jealous, don't worry, I think you're
hot too!
Jessie: Of god, don't say that! I'm not jealous because she's got girls hitting on
her, Christ! I just think you're insane! I don't want girls hitting on me!
Cassidy: It's happened.
Jessie: No it hasn't.
Cassidy: Yes it has, but you must have been to drunk to remember.
Jessie: Oh.. it was that damned Christmas party, wasn't it?
Cassidy: Yup.
Jessie: Let me guess... Linda?
Cassidy: Right again.
Jessie: That ho...
Cassidy: So, catch any pokémon recently, Jes?
Jessie: Rot in Hell, cas.
Butch: (Still quietly observing Jack) Are you wearing fishnet gloves?
Jack: It appears so.
Butch: Are you gothic?
Jack: I'm so gothic I'm dead.
Gypsy: I have that sticker too.
Butch: Do you worship Satan?
Jack: That's a false stereotype.
Nikita: I hate that question! I must have heard it a kajillion times! People are
WAY to perceptive.
Gypsy: Me too. People SUCK.
Nikita: I think our friend Butch is exploring dangerous territory, now.
Cassidy: Butch, don't push your luck.
Jessie: Yeah, mind the killers. Don't want you losing your neck.
Nikita: See? You're both smart girls, I don't know why you don't get along.
Jessie and Cassidy: Don't get me started!
Butch: I'm waiting for the catfight.
Jessie and Cassidy: Shut up, Butch!
Butch: Those two are fun!
Jack: Hey Butch, is that your voice, or did something crawl down you thraot and
die?
Butch: Hey Jack, is that your face, or did somebody puke in a garbage bag?
Gypsy: Oh dis!
(In the blink of an eye, Nikita has her dagger under Butch's chin, pointed at his
throat)
Nikita: Now you've gone to far.
Butch: He started it!
Nikita: It matters not. You've insulted an Angus. By insulting one Angus you've
insulted them all, and I go by that name.
Butch: Well... can I apologize?
Nikita: (Cheerfully sitting back down) Okay!
Butch: Uh... sorry.
(Jack stares at Butch. Soon his chair flies up into the air, flips over, and Butch
topels over and lands on his face. Jessie, Cassidy, and Gypsy laugh while Nikita
runs over to him.)
Nikita: Are you okay?
Butch: Oh my nose!!!
Nikita: I'm so sorry! You know, I really wasn't going to kill you!
Butch: Am I bleeding?
Nikita: We should get some ice for that..
Butch: You wanna get out of here?...
Nikita: Okay.
(Butch and Nikita leave)
Gypsy: Aw, that was cute!
Cassidy: Great, just great, now I lack a partener!
Jessie: I bet Jack wants to be your partener.
(Jack continues to not move an inch, glaring evily into nothingness)
Cassidy: (shudders) That guy gives me the willies.
Gypsy: I bet Jessie will be your partener.
Jessie: Thanks, but I have one!
Gypsy: And a damn sexy one too!
Jessie: You can't possibly court both James and Cassidy!
Gypsy: Ever seen "Two Girls and a Guy"?..
Jessie: Thats it, I'm telling James!
(Gypsy points her gun at Jessie's head)
Gypsy: You will NOT.
Cassidy: Blow her head off!
Jessie: Okay, That's it, you're a dead *****!
(Jessie leaps up and goes for Cassidy's throat. They fight. Gypsy claps, grinning,
while Jack shows a sign of life for the first time and laughs. As Jessie and Cassidy
beat the snot out of each other, Cassidy jumps up and runs out the door, chased
by Jessie, both screeching. Gypsy and Jack hop up and follow them, leaving the
interview room abandoned.)
Interview #8 - Ash's mother, Professor Oak
(Sisters Gypay Layla, Nikita, and seven-year-old brother Basil Angus interview
Professor Oak and Ash's mom. Gypsy apears to be in a very bad mood while Nikita
apears to be in a very good mood. Because of the contradicting emotions, they
brought Basil, a small boy with the same haircut as James and an "R" scribbled
onto his shirt with red magic marker.)
Nikita: (glowing, but not literally) I love him, Gypsy!
Gypsy: (sulking) Shut up.
Nikita: I feel like I could fly!
Gypsy: Go fly off a bridge.
(Prof. Oak and Mrs. Ketchum enter)
Nikita: Oh, look! They're here! Welcome, welcome!
Basil: She means "hi".
Gypsy: Nobody cares.
Nikita: Now thats not a very good attitude, Gypsy!
Gypsy: Somebody kill her!
Prof. Oak: Are... we in the right room?
Nikita: But of course! Please, have a seat! Welcome to the Angus sister and Basil
interviews! Would you like anything?
Mrs. Ketchum: I'm fine, thanks.
Prof. Oak: Quite allright.
Mrs. Ketchum: You certainly seem to be in good spirits!
Nikita: (Sigh) I'm in love!
Mrs. Ketchum: Oh, that's what I thought it was! A woman can tell these things!
Gypsy: Can a woman tell when another woman wants to kill herself too?
Mrs. Ketchum: Uh... sometimes.
Basil: Don't mind her. She's just mad because her boyfriend dumped her.
Gypsy: (stomps her foot) THAT RAT *******!! Just because I told him I'm
bisexual! He says it makes him "uncomfortable"! He says he doesn't want more
rumours going around that he's bisexual too! I'LL SHOW HIM!! I'm going to tell
everyone he dumped me because he's gay!!
Nikita: Gypsy, please, calm down! We don't want you upseting everyone!
Gypsy: Reality check, Nikita Roxanne! Upseting people is our JOB!
Nikita: (Sighs) I'm in too good of a mood to be evil today!
Prof. Oak: Um... how about we come back another time?
Basil: No, you guys gotta stay here! Reschedualing interviews is a *****!
Mrs. Ketchum: Young man, you shouldn't say such words!
Basil: What, you mean "*****"?
Mrs. Ketchum: Thats exactly what I mean!
Basil: Nobody cares if I swear.
Mrs. Ketchum: Well perhaps somebody should! What's your name?
Basil: Basil Theodore Angus.
Mrs. Ketchum: How old are you?
Basil: I'm seven and 1/4.
Mrs. Ketchum: What do you want to be when you grow up, Basil? Maybe a
policeman, or a fireman?
Basil: I wanna join Team Rocket and I wanna kill people with my sisters and
brothers!
Mrs. Ketchum: Oh... my...
Prof. Oak: He's got an imagination, that's for sure.
Mrs. Ketchum: But he still shouldn't swear.
Gypsy: Oh, nag, nag, nag! We'll raise our brother the way we want!
Nikita: Maybe we shouldn't let him curse, Gypsy. People shouldn't cuss, children
especially.
Gypsy: Oh shut up, Niki! You know I've had it up to here with you! All day long
it's Butch this and Butch that!I'm not in the mood, okay?!
Mrs. Ketchum: Miss Gypsy, I know you're going through a rough time, but I think
you should respect your sister!
Gypsy: I don't respect anyone! I HATE EVERYONE!!
Nikita: Do you hate me?
Gypsy: I ESPECIALLY HATE YOU!!
Nikita: Well! I'm not so fond of you either! But I don't care what you think
because Butch told me he loves me!
(Gypsy grumbles)
Basil: Right. Anyhow- Mrs. Ketchum, did you know that somebody wrote down
your son's name on our family's hitlist?
Mrs. Ketchum: What?!
Gypsy: We're going to kill him. Pay more attention.
Mrs. Ketchum: Kill Ash? But why?
Nikita: Oh, we probably won't really. We just like to pick on him.
Gypsy: I'm going to kill him.
Prof. Oak: I think it's best you don't talk about killing Ash in front of his mother...
Gypsy: Oh shut up, you MAN! I HATE MEN! They all suck! What are they good
for, anyhow? Opening jars?! This world would be a much better place without
them! I'm going to become a lesbian!
Nikita: You can't mean that! Without men, where's the love? And the children!
personally, I couldn't never live without men- (sigh) especially Butch!
Gypsy: I hate men!
Basil: I'm a man.
Gypsy: AND I HATE YOU TOO!! Oh, no I don't! (Hugs him) I'm so sorry, Basil! I
don't hate you! I hate myself! (sob)
Mrs. Ketchum: Oh! I think you need to treat yourself so some ice cream and a
relaxing bubble bath, dear! It will make you feel better!
Gypsy: Nothing could make me feel better.
Nikita: Butch makes me feel better.
Gypsy: Shut up.
(A phone rings somewhere. Nikita whips out a cell phone.)
Nikita: Thats me. Butch and I got cell phones! (*beep*) Hello? Hi!... miss you
too!... I can't talk now, I'm in the middle of an interview!... I'll talk to you later!..
love you too!... bye! (*beep*) That was Butch! (beams) He just wanted to talk
to me!
Gypsy: I miss James! (sob)
Basil: Professor Oak, I think we're going to kill Gary too.
Prof. Oak: What?
Nikita: We're not? But I thought Jeff was gonna tear his arms off.
Gypsy: He was, but Natasia developed a crush on him and that outweighs Jeff's
grudge. Silly girl, she doesn't know what she's getting herself into! She's only
setting herself up for disapointment!
Mrs. Ketchum: Gypsy, would you like me to treat you to lunch? You sound like
you need a girl's day out!
Gypsy: I JUST WANNA DIE!
Nikita: Aw, Gypsy, there are other men out there! ...And girls, too! Trust me,
he's not worth it!
Gypsy: Yes he was (sniff).
Mrs. Ketchum: You say that now, but years later you won't be able to believe
you niave you were!
Gypsy: Well what about you? Where's Ash's dad?
Mrs. Ketchum: That *******...
Nikita: Ah, I'm sencing hidden anger with Mr. Ketchum!
Mrs. Ketchum: Not Mr. Ketchum. Ash's father. We were never married.
Nikita: You mean Ash is a ******* child?
Nikita and Basil: JACKPOT! (slap high-fives)
Nikita: This is the best day ever!
Gypsy: Do you have to keep rubbing it in?
Prof. Oak: Is it by any chance your "time of the month"?
Gypsy: Oh shut up! All of you, just shut up! You don't know anything ABOUT it!
Prof. Oak: Thought so.
Gypsy: Shut up or maybe we WILL kill Gary! And you too!
Prof. Oak: I don't think all that many people would care if you killed Gary, I'm
sure he has alot of enemies. He's cocky with a big mouth.
Basil: He says this about his own grandson!
Prof. Oak: Oh, I've allways thought that about him. He's a good trainer, I'll give
him that, but he lets it get to his head. For crying out loud, nobody needs a
fanclub! He isn't a celebrity! He's just an eleven year old kid!
Mrs. Ketchum: Am I ever glad you said that! I've wanted to for years! He used to
be such a nice boy, too! Now he's just... arrogant!
Nikita: Butch isn't! He's perfect!
Gypsy: I'm gonna slap you.
Nikita: Did you know that he waited the entire interview to have a cigarette? He
lit up once we got outside but he said he didn't want to smoke during the
interview because he didn't want to disturb anyone! (sigh) wasn't that sweet of
him?
Gypsy: Shut up, shut up, shut up! I HATE EVERYONE!
Basil: Do you hate me?
Gypsy: YES! No! I'm sorry, Basil! Give me a hug- (pushes him away) YOU LOOK
LIKE JAMES!
Basil: Um...
(Gypsy sobs)
Basil: Nikita, I don't think I can do this! You invited me here to hold this interview
together, but you need rope and I'm just thread! Couldn't you have brought
someone older?
Nikita: Think of it as a test. If you can handle this, you can handle anything!
Basil: I think you two are too much for me, though! I'm only seven!
Nikita: I'm no trouble! I'm on love! (dreamily)
Basil: Exactly! That's gross! Love screwed up you, Gypsy, and Mike! I don't ever
want to fall in love!
Gypsy: Good! Don't! It is EVIL!
Mrs. Ketchum: You can't mean that! Love is a wonderful thing!
Basil: Not in this family.
Mrs. Ketchum: It's the same with everyone, it just takes a while to find that one
special person. There are ups and downs along the way, but that's what makes it
so exciting!
Basil: (pause) You're weird.
Mrs. Ketchum: You'll figure it out when you're older.
Nikita: What's your name, anyhow?
Mrs. Ketchum: Mrs. Ketchum.
Nikita: I mean your first name.
Mrs. Ketchum: Isn't Mrs. Ketchum enough?
Nikita: If you don't give me a name I'll make one up.
Mrs. Ketchum: Well what would you call me?
Nikita: Oh... what's the feminin form of "Butch"?
Gypsy: It's *****, Nikita. *****.
(Basil bursts out laughing)
Nikita: ARE YOU KNOCKING ON MY BOYFRIEND?
Mrs. Ketchum: Hey, Girls, relax!
Basil: Didn't you used to date Brock?...
Nikita: Yes, but I dumped him because he couldn't stop ogling other girls.
Gypsy: You threatened to gut him but you never did.
Nikita: You threatened to gouge his eyes out and shove them down his pants,
but you never did.
Basil: What's your first name, Professor Oak?
Prof. Oak: It isn't "*****".
Nikita: Professor Oak... um... uh... Gypsy, do you have any questions for him?
Gypsy: No.
Nikita: Well then... you just sit there, and... smoke your pipe, then.
Prof. Oak: That's pretty much what I've been doing.
Gypsy: You shouldn't smoke in front of Basil. He's only seven years old, you could
damage his delicate lungs.
Nikita: Butch was more considerate.
Prof. Oak: Fine, fine, I'll put it out!
Basil: You guys fuss over me too much! I'm a big kid now!
Nikita: (Hugs him) Yes, but you're our little big kid!
Gypsy: (Cries) Who looks like James!
Mrs. Ketchum: Aw, poor Gypsy!
Nikita: *****- I mean Mrs. Ketchum, is there any truth to the rumour that Ash's
father is the gym leader Giovanni?
Mrs. Ketchum: (Anxiously) What? No! Absolutely not! Where did you hear that?
It's not true!
Basil: Geez, chill out!
Mrs. Ketchum: Sorry. Sorry.
Nikita: We have some very good points. Like Giovanni and Ash look sort of alike,
they both have the same intolerance of Jessie and James, and if not where is
Ash's father? Does Giovanni have a family?
Basil: Plus, it would be interesting if Ash's own father was the leader of the
syndicate he hates the most!
Mrs. Ketchum: I don't know what you're talking about! I told Ash his father died
when he was a little boy! Everybody knows that!
Basil: That may be what you told everyone, but is there any truth to it?
Nikita: Who is Ash's father?
Basil: Where did he go?
Prof. Oak: It's true! He died! I remember the funeral!
Mrs. Ketchum: NOOO! HE LEFT ME!! (sob)
Prof. Oak: (Hugs her) I was just trying to be helpful...
Mrs. Ketchum: I know, and thank you, but I can't lie anymore! He left me after
Ash was born! (cries)
Prof. Oak: There, there...
Gypsy: I know exactly how you feel.
Nikita: So! The truth comes out!
Basil: I knew he was lying!
Gypsy: Hey, be nice, this is a sensitive subject! Why'd he do it?
Mrs. Ketchum: (Sniff) I don't know! He said he was going for a drive, and he
never came back! I sacrificed EVERYTHING for him!
Gypsy: That *******!
Mrs. Ketchum: Now that I think about it, he was hardly ever home! Things were
fine untill he knocked me up! I wanted him to marry me, but he wouldn't! After he
left, I had to tell people we were married and he died so they wouldn't think me a
harlot!
Gypsy: Why were you with someone like that at all?
Mrs. Ketchum: HE TOLD ME HE LOVED ME!! (Sob)
Gypsy: You see, Nikita? You see what can happen?
(Nikita sticks her toungue out at Gypsy)
Mrs. Ketchum: (Sniff) I hate men.
Gypsy: I know, I do too. Come on... Let's go get some ice cream and vent.
(Gypsy and Mrs. Kethum exit, leaving Nikita alone with the guys)
Nikita: I love him, you know.
(Basil and Professor Oak exchange glances)
Basil: That's it, I'm outta here.
Prof. Oak: I'm with ya.
(They exit, leaving Nikita alone. She whips out her cell phone.)
Nikita: (*beep, beep beep beep...*) ..Hello, Butch!...
