Merlyn-whats the matter Eddie?
Eddie-did we have to play scrabble in public?
Merlyn-Yes you lost the bet fare and square. I told you Midget number 2 could swallow that many light bulbs.
Eddie-is he going to be alright?
Merlyn-do you care?
Eddie-I haven't made up my mind yet.
Merlyn lays out his letters and spells out indigestion
Eddie-funny. You had that planned?
Merlyn-who me? I'm crazy ya know. I don't plan anything.
Eddie-right right. I got one
Eddie spells out retarded midget.
Merlyn-can you make a phrase?
Eddie-who cares? we are NWO, we change the rules.
Merlyn-true.
Merlyn gets the waitress and orders another round and asks to change the tv channel.
Merlyn-check this out. I got some commercials coming up that i think you'll like.
They both turn towards the tv. A logo pops up on the screen. Rent-a-box. Hulk Hogan pops up on the screen in front of the logo.
Hogan-Let me tell you something brutha, Rent-a-box is your best bet on having that luxury box you always wanted. Put it under a bridge or in a dark alley. Put it where ever you want where the police won't hassle you and bring you to that hobo reclamation plant. They come in sizes, Tv, Air conditioner, and our luxury model refrigerator. Come in now brutha and get a free coffee maker complete with Merlyn's roast.So fellas collect them change and come in nowwwww bruthaaaaaa.
Hogan rips off his shirt and the Rent-A-Box center logo comes on and the screen fades to black.
Eddie-wow
Merlyn-great right? I paid that guy enough to make up for his divorce.
Eddie-good I was wondering.
Merlyn-Now for the next one.
Eddie-wonderful.
A new logo comes on the screen and this time its "Merlyn's roast" coffee. The scene fades in and it's Disco inferno in a sequined disco suit sitting at a table sipping coffee.
Disco-Why hello gentle fellows. It is I Disco Inferno here to tell you about Merlyn's roast. It is the finest coffee I have tasted in my life. I've boogied everywhere my life. This coffee gives me the energy to dance my way to the top. When I went to jail for my gambling ring I wish i had Merlyn's brew to have the energy to boogie my way out of...sticky situations. So all you Disco maniacs out there, drink Merlyn's roast. You won't regret it.
A disclaimer comes on the screen.
Any overdose or addiction to Merlyn's roast is no the responsibility of the owner but of Heinrich Von richtoven and associates. A phone number pops on the screen.
Eddie-now that was great. Is that actually legal?
Merlyn-no but he should get a lot of phone calls.
Eddie-We aren't bringing him in are we?
Merlyn-No no no. He needed a paycheck. I felt bad.
some time passes and some bottles are emptied.
Eddie-So are you going to tell me about your disappearance.
Merlyn grimaces but shakes his head in affirmative.
Merlyn-why not? I have enough beer in me. Some trouble from the past came to confront me.
Eddie-What kind?
Merlyn-legal. You remember Dav?
Eddie-yeah. What an Ahole.
Merlyn-yeah well he died.
Eddie-What?
Merlyn-yeah You weren't around. Eventually they blamed me. I had the most motive to them. His severe mismanagement of the company cost me everything i thought was important then.
Eddie-Did they clear you?
Merlyn-Yeah. Now they did. That is why I disappeared. It was a wake up call though. It was motivation to start up my businesses. Every one thinks they can take advantage of a homeless guy. They think nobody will fight for him. Well this one fought for himself and won.
Just then Talon walks in and sits at the table.
Talon-What's up fellas?
Merlyn-long story but you missed some good commercials.
