Bill has the actors assembled to read through the the first scene of the story, "Let's Get Intuit". They are in the office of Fox and Felix Fine who are across a desk from each other, Fox sitting and Felix standing. The rest of the cast are seated or standing on the left and right facing each other. Pons, Ned, and DED are on stage right and Matt, Jiffy, Pallas, and Pez on stage left. Bill is a disembodied voice. Bill: Okay, Fox and Felix, as you can see you will begin talking for a bit, and then the noted players will filter in as they appear in the script. Everyone will enter and exit throught the door on stage left. Are there any questions before we start?
Ned: I dun see no place fer Ned Nuckledd ta do no speakin'.
Pallas : That's not a question, Knucklehead.
Pons: His name is Nuckledd, Pallas.
Bill: Quiet on the set. Ned, you are not in this scene. You will appear later.
Ned: (looking around at others) Ain't I here now?
Pallas : Now that's a question, Ned-wetter. I'm not sure you're ALL here, but ---
Pons crosses the stage to grab Pallas, but Pez steps in front of his brother.
Pez : I'll handle my little brother, Pons. You've got your hands full with Neddy.
Pons: He needs a beat down, Pez, and you know it.
Pez : That'll be my concern, man. Step off and cool down.
Bill: Can we can the drama and begin the drama? Felix, step out and enter through the door to begin the scene.
Felix steps out and then rushes back in.
Felix : (peeking at his script) Hey, Fox! I have big news and a great opportunity for two up-and-coming private eyes to solve a big mystery that is baffling the city police force.
Fox : (begins laughing) Okay -- who are you?
Bill: Cut! What's going on, Fox?
Fox : The dialogue is out of character for my brother, sir.
Bill: Okay, fair enough. Look, both of you follow the storyline and adlib until the scene is over. Action!
Felix : Hey, Fox! I have a lead on that murder in the park this weekend. I think we can get hired by the main suspect.
Fox : Wow! Imagine that. You are making me smile with every word you say. Who's dead? Who's the suspect?
Felix : The stiff is still being I.D.ed at the chop shop. He or she was pretty messed up I hear. Kind of --hamburgered.
Fox : Man! Who do they think did it?
Pallas sneaks out the door and then rushes in with a pistol in his hand.
Pallas : Hit the floor, motorscooters! Hands up and hand over all the cash!
Ned drops to the floor in the corner.
Fox : This is a detective agency, dummy -- not a bank!
Felix : We have no money here, pal. Believe me.
Pallas : (puts the gun in his shoulder holster) Okay, okay, Just lay out your wallets, jewelry, and anything else that's worth anything.
Fox : Hey Felix -- do you still wear that moneybelt?
Felix : (Felix' eyes dart back and forth from his brother and the intruder) I -- uh - don't know what you mean, Heh heh.
Pallas : (pulls the gun out again) C'mon, dude. You are pushing this bank robbery into a double murder.
Fox : Murder!?
Felix : D-d-double m-m-murder!?
DED: (to Ned, still on the floor) Bank robbery?
Ned: Ya musta jis got here, DED. They're actin' out a scene what's in the new show -- Lester McMoonrat.
Pons: What's that, Ned?
Ned: I were tellin' DED what's happ'nin here.
Pons: What's Lester McMoonrat?
Ned: Ain't that what that is that they's doin'?
Pons: "Let's Get Intuit"
Ned: Now, Cuz. I dun reckin we oughta git inta it now. Them folks is tryin' ta rear-hersofy.
Pons: The play is called, "Let's Get Intuit".
DED: Not a bank robbery? No murder expected? Why were you on the floor, Ned?
Ned: I gots ta say no ta robbery, no to a axial murder, and I guess I dun know why I was on the floor.
Jiffy: You are sounding pretty negative over there, Neddlepoint. Sounds like you're closing in on a t-shirt slogan though -- I guess I dun know.
Matt: Lay off him, Jif.
Pons: Good advice, Jif.
Jiffy: Okay. I'll be good.
Matt: Don't you have a part coming up?
Jiffy: Right. Man, I have to get into my hamburger suit.
Pons: Oh, are you a victim?
Pez : It sounds like he's a fashion victim.
Jiffy: I didn't know you were a funny man, Pez.
Pez looked Jiffy over with a half smile, which faded to an emotionless stare.
Jiffy nodded silently, then left through the doorway.
Matt: (talking to Pez) He just wants to be a make-believe victim, Pez.
