How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #7, Caritas, 07.05.06, Afternoon

GOB looked miserable when the students walked in. If somebody were to guess that he was hung over, they wouldn't be wrong. And if somebody were to guess that the puppet patting him on the back was being poorly controlled by GOB, they wouldn't be wrong about that either.

"Listen up, bitches," the puppet said. It was a coincidence that GOB's lips were moving and that the puppet's voice sounded like GOB's only raised an octave and angrier. "My name is Franklin and I'm your sub. It seems Mr. Dumbass over here had too much to drink last night. Can't hold your booze anymore, buddy?"

"Look," GOB told the puppet, "that was a lot of shots, then there were explosions in the sky. I'd like to see you deal with that."

"And I'd like to deal with your mom!" Franklin said.

"That's uncalled for," GOB protested.

Franklin turned back to the students. "This week you're doing ventriloquism. There are a bunch of puppets on the stage. Take one, stick your hand up its ass, and make it talk. Nadia, stay away from any ethnic stuff or I'm calling in my crew for a beat-down."

GOB spoke up again. "And don't forget about the talent show on Friday. Have something prepared."

Joxer looked at his puppet and smirked. "Hey, Jett, how are you doing today?"

Jett the puppet wagged his head. "I'm going to kill you all."

"Hey, that's not a nice way to treat the audience."

"I am an assassin in training, you dumbie! I'm not supposed to be nice."

"Well, you certainly got the ass part right," Joxer said.

"That's no way to talk about your brother!" Jett said.

"Ohhhhh yeah?" Joxer punched Jett-puppet in the head. Forgetting this meant he was hitting himself in the hand, so he whimpered and clutched his puppeted hand under his arm. "Ow, oh ow. Ow."

GOB rolled his eyes, went back to the bar, and poured himself a drink. "I think I like the smaller you better, Jockstrap."

"Thank you, sir?" Joxer said. "I mean, technically it wasn't supposed to be me, but if that made it more enjoyable then I meant it to be that way, absolutely."

"If that's what you want to believe," GOB said. He then drank his drink. That was better.
