MAERAD: Hi. I am Maerad Flipperstine.

Maerad looks up. "WHAT?! Who wrote this script?"

"I don't know, just continue," Hem said.

"Okay, here I go."

MAERAD: Hi. I am Maerad Flipperstine. (pause) I am here to tell you of my totally awesome, totally coolio-

"Wait, is coolio even a word?!" Maerad looks at Hem who shrugs.

MAERAD: Hi. I am Maerad Flipperstine. (pause) I am here to tell you of my totally awesome, totally coolio, totally radical story.

HEM: Narley, dude.

"Huh? I've never heard of 'narley'. Does anyone know what it means?" Hem asks.

"I do not know."

MAERAD: Hey, peoples, look!(point at Hem) It's Hembert the Flying Fish!

Maerad laughs. "That is funny!"

Hem glares at his sister.

HEM: Like, Dude, I am sooo not a Flying Fish! (pauses) I am, like, Hembert the Flying Flipping Fish!

MAERAD: That's what I said! Yeah. Um. Yeah!!

Maerad looks at Hem with eyes of hysteria.

HEM: Dude, what were we talking about?

MAERAD: I dunno. I can't remember.

HEM: Wanna go get a drink, dude?

Maerad looked at Hem. "Who wrote this?"
