A group of associates stand on each side of the scene speaking to each other about the proceedings.


Pons : (
to Skar, his clone) I'm not sure this debate is going well. Ned seems to be rambling while the other two are representing the end of humanity.

Skar : (
to Pons) Is that my tie?

Pons : No, but I'm sure this gravy stain is yours.

Skar : I sent it to the cleaners.

Pons : The space between the clothes hamper and the wall is not the drop-off for dry cleaning.

Skar : So, you only have the one tie?

Pons : It used to be all I needed.

Abecedari Ann leans in between the two squabblers.

AA:  You two look like a sideshow over here.

Skar: Do you like my tie?

AA: You are not wearing a tie.

Pons :  (
clutching his tie) This is MY tie. 
 
AA: Okay, Pons. The tie is yours, man.

Pons : I'm sorry. Usually I can remain composed.
 
Betty Beggins sidles up next to Pons.
 
Betty:  Doesn't Ned look Presidential!
 
Skar: He's a Young Lincoln.

AA: I feel a poem coming on.

Pons : He's like Tom Sawyer and the others are the King and the Dauphin. 
 
Betty:  Do you mean the Tom Sawyer Tom Sawyer or the Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer?
 
Skar: Who's Tom Sawyer?

AA: Three men vie for the people's votes
         coining phrases and throating quotes
         spelling out their party's plans
         showing all their can'ts and cans. 

Pons : I wonder if Ned could get those other two to paint a fence?
 
Betty:  Did you say something about defense?
