Scene at a Third Party 8

by Bill Schott

Zora Abebe = Presidential hopeful Skar  = Pons' clone and Vice Presidential hopeful (with Zora) Pons Maninoff = keeping Skar on a short leash  AB  (Abracada Brah)  = Zora's Dirty Tricks Coordinator LorDee (Loralie DeSilva) = Presidential hopeful Ned Nuckledd = Vice Presidential hopeful (with LorDee) GED:  = Ned's clone Betty: = LorDee's campaign manager AA  (Abecedari Ann)  = LorDee's Third Party Poet Laureate  ------------------------------------------------------- Previously, Loralie DeSilva announced, at the Big Boy gathering, that she and Zora Abebe had come to a compromise. LorDee would run for President and Zora would become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.  MauMau succumbed to noxious gas in the bathroom, and Ned asked Betty Biggins out on a date.   The scene opens in the former restaurant, now being gutted and refurbished to be the campaign office. The principals LorDee, Zora, Ned, and Skar at the center, and all others will pass by eventually. Hammers and saws can be heard but not seen in the background.   LorDee : (to Zora) When will the renovations be done to our campaign headquarters?   Zora : I am NOT your step-n-fetch-it, LorDee. Check with your campaign manager.    LorDee :  I would, but I have not been able to find her since she started up with Ned.   Zora : I was hoping that MauMau and Betty might become an item.   LorDee : That would have been a great match to establish our collaboration.    Zora : Where is MauMau anyway?   LorDee : According tp GED,  MauMau needed a stench-ectomy.   Zora : Is that a thing? Will he make it?   LorDee : I felt he may have been yanking my chain.   Zora : Do NOT attempt to appropriate my culture!   LorDee :  You have got to be kidding!   Zora : Of course I am, Kahaba.   LorDee :  Kahaba? Does that mean Madame President?   Zora : Absolutely.   On the opposite side of the scene, Ned and Betty sit across from each other with a chess board between them.   Ned :  I always wondered how this game got playt.    Betty: It is a lesson in strategy, Ned    Ned :  Stratgee?   Betty: Strategy, Ned. Maneuvering.    Ned :  Manure'n?   Betty: No, Ned. Maneuvering.    Ned :  Do all these action figgers have names?   Betty: Yes, these two in the center are --   Ned :  Maw and Paw?   Betty: King and Queen.   Ned :  Then there's a rocket.   Betty: Bishop.   Ned :  Horsey?   Betty: Knight.   Ned :  Jack stand?   Betty: Rook.   Ned :  The ones in front er the chester kids.   Betty: Pawns.   Ned :  Pons? Thems all Ponses? Are the ones on the utter side Neds?   Betty: (looking at Ned for a few seconds)  Yes. Of course, Ned. All Neds.       To be continued...
