I think that I've been writing too much deep stuff this week, so I'm going to lighten the mood with a really funny chapter of this. And you know what that means…!
Jasmine and Axel are stood outside Gonzo's door. Jasmine knocks.
Jasmine: Gonzo? Are you in there?
Gonzo: Who is it?
Axel: It's us, Jasmine and Axel.
Jasmine: Can we come in?
Gonzo: Yeah, just give me a minute.
They wait. Suddenly, there is a huge BANG noise and Jasmine bursts into the room followed by Axel. Inside they see Gonzo face-first in a painting. There is a canon behind him which suggests that he fired himself out of it.
Jasmine: Oh, Gonzo, what have you done now?
Gonzo: [muffled] Nothing, I just fired myself out of a canon into a painting.
Axel: Again?
Jasmine: Well, we've got a favour to ask, so how about this, if we get you out of that painting, will you let us interview you?
Gonzo: Interview me? Sure, I guess. As my old dad used to say, agree now ask questions later!
Jasmine: I thought you didn't know your family, Gonzo?
[She pulls him out of the painting and he lands in a heap on the carpet]
Gonzo: No, I lied for a joke. It's what I imagine he'd say, if I knew him.
Jasmine: So you had no parents?
Gonzo: Nope
Jasmine: No family at all?
Gonzo: No
Axel: Did you ever wish you did?
Gonzo: Are you kidding? I'm the only person I've ever met who is the same species as me! I needed to know who my family were.
(This subject has been abandoned due to fact that I haven't seen Gonzo's movie Muppets from Space I think I will just make up a back-story for him like I did with Robin)
Gonzo: I was left in a basket outside Nanny's place with nothing but a piece of paper saying my name.
Jasmine: Aww, do you ever think that that poor start to life changed you in any way?
Gonzo: Not really, I know I'm weird but I suppose I would still be weird even if I had a family. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me; you Muppets are my family now.
Jasmine: Cute.
Axel: Too cute, yuck. Let's change the subject to something different. [To Gonzo] So you are easily the weirdest Muppet there is here.
Gonzo: Thanks!
Axel: [looks taken aback] Is there a reason why you're so weird all the time?
Gonzo: It's fun!
Jasmine: Well we know that, but firing yourself out of a canon into a painting? Balancing a piano on one hand? Riding that motorcycle of yours over someone's head? Eating a tire?
Gonzo: To the music of The Flight of the Bumblebee!
[Jasmine gives him a questioning look]
Gonzo: I find that life is too short to be bored, so I make sure everything I do is hilariously random and entertaining. Also, it links back to me having no family. You see, when you start life as an orphan, you're certain that you're not going to do anything important with your life. You have no family, so you're a nobody, a nothing. But I can be as determined as your mum sometimes; I wasn't going to let that define me! The image of you is an empty canvas and it's your duty to paint what image you want before someone else does it for you. I wanted to be famous and for being weird. That's my dream and I've always dreamed it ever since the beginning and now, I think it has come true.
Jasmine: There! I knew we could get an inspiring speech out of you! Is there anything you want to add?
Axel: [interrupts, putting his face in front of the camera] Yes, this is Axel saying that if I hear one more disgusting family speech, I'll throw up!
