Scene with Ged and Ned

by Bill Schott

 
 
Ned and his identical clone Ged are guests on a local morning television show. The host sits between them and all face forward.

Peach: Good morning world. Peach Pitt here with this morning's guests Ged and Ned Nuckledd.

Ned: Atchilly, I'm a Nuckledd. Ged there is mostly a C-rox copy.

Ged: I too am considered a Nuckledd, though I do not embrace the title as vigorously as Ned.

Peach: Fascinating. So Ned, why do you have a clone?

Ned: Well, Pitch --

Peach: Peach.

Ned: No thank ya, Pitch. I had bananer for I got here.

Ged: No, Ned. He is saying that his name is Peach, not Pitch. P-P- Peach like each, not P-P-Pitch, like an itch.:

Ned: Well then, P-P-Peach it is.

Peach: Just Peach would be fine. So, Ned, why do you have a clone?

Ned: It's got a lot ta do wit DED.

Peach: DED? You mean Death?

Ned: Nope, not a'tall. Death is when yer dyin'. DED is a feller.

Ged: He's the Angel of Death.

Peach: So, DED is Death.

Ned: I dun think we're commutatatin' here, Patch.

Peach: Peach.

Ned: Oh yeah -- P-P-Peach.

Ged: So DED lets Ned know his number is coming up and he'll be dead soon.

Peach: Ned will become DED?

Ned: Hey, wouldn't that be a hoot.

Ged: Ghastly thought, but no. Dead like DOA dead.

Peach: So, Ned, you were marked for death?

Ned: Right. So, a cousin a mine, Hed O'daklas, makes me a clone.

Ged: That's me.

Peach: So, you are Ned 2.0.

Ned: No, he's Ged.

Ged: I am known as a general equivalency dude. No, I had nothing to do with the name.

Peach: So, what happened?

Ned: What was s'posed ta happen was DED would show up and take Ged here astead a me.

Ged: I, of course, was unaware of this plan.

Peach: So why didn't DED, take you?

Ned: Seems there was this utter dude whose name was Ned Nuckledd too. He lived over in the next county.

Peach: Imagine that! Another Ned.

Ned: Heck, he might be a clone too.

Ged: Perhaps you were his clone.

Peach: So, folks. There you have it. The Angel of Death gives warnings, Ged is a clone, and
Ned ate a banana.
