School Auditorium: Auditions, beginning Noonish.

[stickittotheme.livejournal.com]

The lights are up up on the stage, and Dewey sits in the middle of the center aisle of seats, a notebook and pen in hand, and his iPod at the ready in case there are any lulls in auditions.

Yes, that is seriously how low-key Dewey has set up auditions. Get up on stage and do your monologue and sing your song, and you shall be properly auditioned.

Kawalsky coughed before stepping up to audition. He looked terse, but it was in character. He had the voice down pat, as if he'd seen this particular movie way too many times.

I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but -- I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal."

Now he looked like he was getting more and more mad, but was just holding back on it.

"When I went to the hospital, her nose was a'broken. Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life - beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. Sorry...I - I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison - suspended sentence." He yelled, now letting the anger out. "Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool." He calmed down again. "And those two bastard, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "for justice, we must go to Don Corleone."

He cleared his throat again before starting to sing his song.

"Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down,
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer , yeah I'm a wanderer,
I go around around around around."

He threw in some enthusiastic hand movements and really got into the song with his body.

"Well there's Moe on my left and Mary on my right,
And Janie is the girl well that I'll be with tonight,
And when she ask me which one I love the best,
I tear open my shirt and I show Rosie on my chest,
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around hmmm

Well I roam from town to town, I go through life without a care,
And I'm as happy as a clown,
With my two fists of iron, but I'm goin' nowhere.

Yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right in that car of mine, I drive around the world
And I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around..."


At the end, he bowed with a stupid grin on his face. Ahh, high school.

Dewey nods. "Good job, Charles. I might as well put you in charge, with a name like that, ha!" Dewey laughs at his horrible joke. "Thanks for auditioning."

"Thanks for listening, sir."

Kawalsky headed off.
