You know, I always prepare my schemes in advance. It's only proper, putting on a good show for my nemesis.
There's the inator, of course. The focal point of the entire event. I work hard on them all, because there's no point in him coming over to thwart a scheme that doesn't work, where's the fun in that? I think he enjoys the self-destruct buttons too - note to self, I'm almost out of those again. I go through them so fast...
And I can't have a scheme without a monologue. I tried that once, he didn't like it, just thwarted and ran.
Sometimes I hire backup dancers for a musical number too, but none of them are answering my calls so I had to skip that this time. You'd think they'd pick up, I'm their biggest customer! And I had the best song prepared, it was one about - oh, never mind.
Anywho. Back to my scheme. The most important part, after the inator and the monologue, is of course the trap. He never seems to see them coming. Sometimes I go to the effort to make something thematically appropriate, but usually a rope is enough. He always breaks out though... How rude is that?
Can't forget the staging- I mean, setting. Sometimes it's a nice day, you know? And I have a balcony, why not use it? It's good to get some sunshine sometimes, even if I have to use SPF 120 sunscreen so I don't burn, which is painful by the way, I'd rather get punched in the face again. Not that that doesn't also happen with Perry the Platypus around. Guy can really throw a punch.
Not like you, Pretendy the Practicepus, you're just a stand-in.
Where was I? Oh, that's right!
It's all to prepare for the moment when a small teal intruder comes crashing in tru der window.
