Bat Cloud |
Scene: A hot summer day in a crowded inner
city. At a city bus stop four people sit
on the bench. Two of them are men in
questionable shape wearing poorly fitted costumes with capes and masks. One is constantly texting on his Bat-cell
phone. A large woman with two bags of
groceries and a heavy purse stands at the end of the bench and gives the men on
the bench dirty looks as they argue.

Robin:
(played by Bobcat Goldthwait) It wasn’t
my fault! That barfwagon ran the stop
sign.
Batman: Yeah, that lunch truck runs that stop sign
every single day and you would know that by now if you weren’t always playing
video games and texting when I’m driving.
Robin: Blah, blah, blah
Batman: Alfred said it’s gonna take two whole weeks
to fix the Batmobile so, I hope you like taking mass transit when we pursue the
Joker and the Penguin.
Robin: It’s not so bad. You’re such a grumpy grouch. You should look on the bright side.

Gilbert Gottfried |
Batman: What bright side?
Robin: (10 second pause) Well, I dunno, the bright side!
Batman: You’re an idiot. My partner is an idiot. (mumbling to himself
now) I’ve got an idiot for a partner.
How did this happen? Why me?
The bus
pulls up and the Dynamic Duo get in line to board with the other sweaty
passengers. As they step into the bus,
Batman reaches into his Bat-coin purse (made from very nice green paisley
pattered nylon-cotton blend fabric) located on his Bat-utility belt and pulls
out 4 bus tokens.
Scene: The Batmancave looks a lot like a two bedroom
apartment occupied couple of college kids.
Several pizza delivery boxes are scattered around along with many empty
containers of Red Bull and Dr. Pepper.
Half eaten Slim Jims and bags of chips and pretzels can easily be found
almost anywhere. In one corner of the
living room Batman is working on his Bat-desktop computer. In the middle of the room Robin is sitting on
the floor, leaning against the couch with his legs under the coffee table,
playing his Bat-Xbox.
Batman: I don’t suppose I could ask you to clean The
Batmancave up a little while I figure out how we’re going to pay for the
repairs on the Batmobile?
Robin: (without moving a muscle) Yeah, sure, in a minute.
The
Bat-phone rings. Robin doesn’t even flinch.
Batman: I’ll
get it! It might be Commissioner
Gordon.
Batman
rushes to the kitchen where the Bat-phone is located. He steps on a Bat-pizza box and slides and
nearly falls but, does manage to answer the phone.
Hello, Bruce
Whine here. Oh, high. Yes I did.
I did!. It’s in the mail. It
is! Click.
Batman: None of your business!
Batman
returns to the Bat-desktop computer.
Batman: I’m gonna have to take that job Mr. Smith
offered me at the Home Depot so we can pay these bills. Did you hear about that job at Food City yet?
Robin: (focused like a 20th degree ninja
on his Bat-Xbox game) Nope.
Batman picks
up an envelope from the Bat-computer desk and tosses it at Robin hitting him in
the head. Robin never moves and the
envelope bounces off his head onto the stained and worn out couch.
Batman: (singing kinda) Mail call for Dick Greasegun.
Robin: Mail, for me?
With the
quickness of a mongoose, Robin drops the Bat-Xbox control and jumps up onto the
couch. Exhibiting the dexterity of a
spider monkey, Robin opens the envelope.

Holy Guacamole |
Robin: (very excited) Holy
Guacamole! It’s a check! It’s a settlement check for $25,000 from when
I hurt my neck in that fight last year with the Joker and his men. $25,000 we’re rich!
Batman: Lemme see that. It is
a check. Now we can get the car fixed,
we can get costumes that fit. We can pay
the back child support we owe.
Robin: Hey, what’s this we stuff. It’s my check.
Batman: Oh no you don’t. We’re partners 55-50.
Robin: Oh yeah, well if we’re partners, then I want
the Bat, the Robinmobile tricked out a little bit more.
Batman: Whadda ya mean?
Robin: I want that thing to bounce like them
low-riders we seen downtown and I want a little dog in the back with a head
that goes up and down like this and ….
We’re partners 55-50. Bwahahahahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI linked you to Silly Sunday. It's really good to see a post from you. I've missed you.
Have a fabulous Silly Sunday. ☺
Thank you. I've decided to give up trying to earn money from my writings and to just write for mine and yours,,,our own amusement. My little comedy gifts to the world.
ReplyDeleteLOl that was enjoyable and LOL @ Bat-desktop computer.
ReplyDeleteHave a battastic week :-)
Thanks, I'm gonna enjoy some Batfootball (or is it Bad Football) today.
ReplyDeleteVery good, how are you doing, I have been working since March 3, doing very well, I like the place where, a lot better than the place we worked at, take care
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you. I'll call you later. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLOL, great tale..55-50! followed from Silly Sunday
ReplyDeleteFaythe @ GrammyMouseTails
That is quite a deal. Thanks
DeleteGood to see you back writing here. Seems like it's been a while.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is read this in Gilbert's and Bobcat's voices.
Thanks for reading. I may have more time to write now, since I don't have a job.
DeleteI can't get the image of Gilbert Gottfried in the Batman costume out of my head. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI think the casting department did a fine job on this project.
DeleteWhat do you think? Janeane Garofalo for Cat Woman?
hahaha, partners 55-50! Sounds like some I know! #FridayFrolics
ReplyDeleteHappy to make you laugh.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Gilbert Gottfried & Bobcat Goldthwaite together? Yikes. That almost sounds like an 80's movie that you would see on cable late at night. Try pitching this script to Judd Apatow & make the dynamic duo Seth Rogen & James Franco. You might just have yourself a deal.
ReplyDeleteI actually did try to contact Judd and Seth about this. I also sent a copy do Disney because they own Batman. I'm still waiting for a reply.
DeleteThanks for playing again and Happy New Year!
I am dissapointed that Batman's cave makes him sound like he needs to sort his housekeeping out. Also sounds a lot like my kid's bedroom #FridayFrolics
ReplyDeleteYes, he could use a maid or a butler if he could afford one.
DeleteThanks for playing.
Entertaining as always! Thanks for sharing at The Blogger's Pit Stop! Roseann from www.thisautoimmunelife.com
ReplyDeleteThank you.
