::end opening credits::

***

Scene 1: Zazu is such a gifted child...in more ways than one! Who else can down five bottles of Tequila and still be able to walk in a straight line? Well, a couple of door-to-door preachers discover one of his lesser-known talents...

***

Geo: (reading the newspaper and talking to Eagle) You know, they really need to fix that little plumbing problem at the orphanage.

Eagle: There's no plumbing problem at the orphanage! Lemme see!! (attempts to grab the newspaper from Geo, spilling his cereal into his lap instead)

Geo: Serves you right. (sticks his tongue out at a blushing Eagle)

Zazu: (walking into the kitchen, half asleep) Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

Geo: Look who finally decided to wake up. You're lucky - I didn't eat the last Pop Tart this time.

Eagle: (trying to dry his pants) Good morning, Zazu! Did you sleep well?

Zazu: MUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!! (runs into the wall)

Eagle: What?! Zazu, are you alright?

Zazu: (standing up and trudging over to the fridge, where he gets a bottle of beer and sits down at the table, almost totally asleep) Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh..........

Eagle: Zazu?! What's wrong???

Geo: It's the morning of the living dead! Heh.

Eagle: Is there something wrong with him?? You're a doctor!

Geo: First of all, I'm not a MEDICAL doctor. Second, everyone's like this in the morning...save for maybe you, because you're a morning person.

Zazu: Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........*snort* beeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr....

Eagle: Does he usually speak in monosyllabic moans?

Geo: Uhhhh-huh.

Zazu: SHUT UP THE BOTH OF YOU!!!! DON'T DISCUSS MY MORNING RITUAL!!!!! IT MAKES ME SICK!!!!!! (drinks his beer) Good morning.

Geo: Fine then. (gets up and walks into the bathroom)

Zazu: Good riddance, you cabbagehead.

Eagle: ZAZU! I won't permit talk like that in this apartment!

Zazu: (mutters some REALLY bad words that are very unfit to print)

Eagle: Oh my...(hears a knock at the door and goes to answer it)

Door-to-door preacher #1: Hello, friend! Would you like to join us on the path to enlightenment?

Eagle: I DON'T WANT ONE OF YOUR [expletive] VACUUM CLEANERS!!!!! WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE LEAVE ME ALONE!?!?! (attempts to shut the door, but the preachers dodge it and invite themselves in)

Door-to-door preacher #2: Ohohohohohohohohoho! We're not selling vacuum cleaners, my friend! We're here on a mission from Kami-sama!! (gets bathed in a shower of glowing lights)

Eagle: How come those guys get better lighting?!?!

Door-to-door preacher #1: He gets that good lighting from the power of Kami-sama! A power you can have if you change your evil ways!!!! (shakes a religious object in Eagle's face)

Eagle: I'm not evil...can you please go?

Geo: (comes running in from the bathroom, his face all sliced up and bleeding) MOTHEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eagle: Geo...what happened to your face???!!!

Geo: I HAD A LITTLE SHAVING ACCIDENT!!!!!!!

Eagle: Well, Geo, this is what happens if you don't change your blade every once in a while...

Geo: (picks up Eagle by the collar) DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!

Door-to-door preacher #2: The devil has given that man immense strength! We must convert him to see the light! (attempts to convert Geo, but Zazu walks in at the last minute)

Zazu: CAN I ENJOY MY BOOZE IN PEA...woah, Geo, you look like [expletive]! Here let's see if I can fix you up...(grabs his hand and takes him into the kitchen)

Door-to-door preacher #1: I sense some holy vibes coming from that boy!!

Geo: (comes walking in with about 50 Band-Aids on his face) I'm going into my room to sulk.

Door-to-door preacher #2: THAT BOY HAS CURED THAT MAN OF HIS ILLS!!!!

Door-to-door preacher #1: THE BOY IS FILLED WITH THE HEALING POWER OF KAMI-SAMA!!!!!

Zazu: All I did was Band-Aid his face...

Door-to-door preachers #1&2: THE BOY HAS THE POWER!!!!!!!

Eagle: Whaaaat??? Zazu?? (looks at Zazu, who shrugs)

Door-to-door preacher #2: Kami-sama has given this boy THE POWER!!!! The power to HEAL!!!!

Zazu: I think you misunderstood...all I did was Band-Aid his face...

Door-to-door preacher #1: WE MUST SPREAD THE NEWS TO ALL OF AUTOZAM THAT THIS BOY HAS THE POWER!!!!!!!! (picks up Zazu and throws him over his shoulder)

Zazu: Where are you taking me, you queers????!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEagle!!!!! What are they doing????!!!!

Eagle: Yah, what are you guys doing?!?!?!?!

Door-to-door preacher #2: We're going to spread the joys of this boy's POWER TO HEAL!!!!

Eagle: Oooooooooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaay. Just make sure he brushes his teeth.

Zazu: DARN YOU EAGLE VISION!!!!!! DARN YOU WITH A MILLION PLAGUES!!!!!! (pounds on the preacher's back as he's going out the door) LEGGO OF ME YOU CHILD PREDATOR!!!!!!

Eagle: My, I hope I'm not making a mistake...

***

Scene 2: EAGLE DID WHAT?!?! Now what will all the Zazu fangirls of the world do?! Besides wither away and die, I mean. Of course, Zazu wasn't expecting to have his 15 minutes of fame so early in life, so I guess they don't mind too much.

***

Geo: You did WHAT?!

Eagle: I gave Zazu away to the door-to-door preachers.

Geo: WHY?!?!?!?!

Eagle: They think he has some kind of "healing power" because of what he did for your shaving accident.

Geo: HE COVERED ME WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND STUCK A BOX OF BAND-AIDS ON MY FACE!!!!!! HOW THE HECK DOES THAT CONSTITUTE HEALING?!?!?!?!?!?

Eagle: Don't ask me. By the way, this came for you today. (hands Geo an envelope)

Geo: Hm? (opens it) HOLY SEKIRIA!!!!!!!! My sister Prizma is getting married!

Eagle: How nice! When is she getting married??

Geo: (sweatdropping) Three days....guess I have to get a tux or something.

::meanwhile...in a cathedral on the other side of town::

Door-to-door preacher #1: Oh, Autozam's Pope equivalent, we bring you a boy whose blessed with THE POWER TO HEAL ALL ILLS!!!!

Door-to-door-preacher #2: We saw him cure a victim of a shaving accident before our very unworthy eyes!!!

Autozam's Pope equivalent: Bring me the boy and I shall see if he is indeed blessed by the great and powerful Kami-sama to heal all the world's ills!!

Zazu: (walks into the cathedral) Yo, nice digs you got here. Can I go home now?

Autozam's Pope equivalent: SILENCE!!! What is your name, my son?

Zazu: Zazu. Zazu Torque.

Autozam's Pope equivalent: And are you, Zazu Torque, indeed blessed with the POWER of Kami-sama??

Zazu: Whaaaaaat?!?!

Door-to-door preacher #1: Yes, your Holiness!!! He cured a man of his severe razor burn!

Autozam's Pope equivalent: SILENCE YOU PLEBIAN!!! YOU ALREADY SAID THAT!!!!!

Zazu: Oh, you mean Geo. Yah, that bum's always getting hurt. I just dumped hydrogen peroxide on his face...

Autozam's Pope equivalent: *GAAAAAAAAASP* HE IS INDEED BLESSED!!!! (points to Zazu) We must tell the world about this miraculous boy and his words of healing, "hydrogen peroxide!"

Zazu: You're all nuts...(realizes that becoming famous equates to getting chicks) I mean to say...Yes, I most certainly AM blessed! And I want to share my gift with the WORLD!!! MWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

::cut back to the apartment::

Eagle: Ah, TV sweet TV. (switches on the tube)

Geo: Yah, there's nothing quite like the mind-numbing radiation of the boob tube. Twizzler? (offers Eagle the package)

Eagle: (takes one) Why thank you, Geo. Kinda quiet around here without Zazu...

Geo: (mouth full of Twizzlers) Not exactly. Lookit the tube.

::on the tube::

Talk show host: Our next guest is the rising new star in the faith healing business, and he'll be giving a demonstration of his gift at the Cathedral on Thurdsay! Please welcome Zazu Torque!

Zazu: (walks on stage like he's the cat's meow...and in this case he is!) Thank you! (blows kisses at the audience and several fangirls faint) Thank you! You're beautiful! (sits down in the chair while several fangirls throw roses and undergarments at him)

Talk show host: Zazu, you're one of the rising stars in the faith healing world...what do you have to say to all those skeptics out there?

Zazu: Well, I only have one thing to say to them...[expletive]!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: o.O

Zazu: I mean....KAMI-SAMA BLESSED ME!!! DO YOU WANT TO DOUBT THE POWER OF KAMI-SAMA AND BE CAST INTO THE ABYSS?!?!?!

Everyone: No! WE DOUBT NOT KAMI-SAMA'S POWERS!!!!!

Zazu: Then come see me on Saturday at the big Cathedral downtown where I will be giving a free performance of my powers!!!

Everone: YAY!!! FREE!!! THE BOY IS BLESSED BY KAMI-SAMA!!!!

::cut back to the apartment::

Eagle: Wow, he's really relishing this.

Geo: (mouth full of Twizzlers...again) I blame society.

Eagle: You blame society for everything! You sound like my grandpa.

Geo: But I'm not your grandpa. I'm an artist that no one appreciates.

Eagle: Ehhhh. Maybe we could go see Zazu...you know to give him our support even though he's making a baka out of himself?

Geo: My sister is getting married that day. You're on your own.

Eagle: You could pop in during the reception, though? I mean, she is getting married right next door.

Geo: (rolls eyes) Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............fine.

Eagle: Yay!

Geo: Oh, speak for yourself!

***

Scene 3: It's Zazu's big day! But of course, someone will ruin it - I mean the guys have some pretty bad luck. Well, just read on...nothing to see here.

***

Zazu: (backstage wearing a very tacky white suit with sequins on the collar) Oy I'm nervous...What if I screw up???

Eagle: I'm sure you'll do fine Zazu! I mean, you really wowed people on that talk show.

Zazu: Yah, but the people who watch that kind of stuff are easily swayed!

Eagle: True, true.

Zazu: I need a drink!!! (attempts to open a bottle of vodka, but Eagle snatches it away)

Eagle: No, Zazu! You need to be sober for this!

Zazu: Just a l'il bit? (Eagle shakes his head) Siiiiiiiiiiigh.....

Eagle: Now go! (shoves Zazu onto the stage)

::The moment of truth...::

Zazu: Hello, my people!

Crowd: ZAZUUUUU!!! WE LOVE YOOOOOOU!!!!!!!

Zazu: Come forth, my children! Allow the power of Kami-sama to heal all of your ills!

Victim #1: Mr. Torque, I have a nasty, festering planters wart on my foot! Heal me! Heal me with your power!!!

Zazu: (whips out some Compound W) BE HEALED!!! BE HEALED!!! (rubs it all over the dude's foot)

Victim #1: ZAZU TORQUE CURED ME WITH HIS MAGICAL CREAM!!!! THANKS BE TO KAMI-SAMA!!!!

Crowd: THANKS BE TO KAMI-SAMA!!!! ZAZU TORQUE PERFORMS MIRACLES!!!!

Zazu: And what ails you, my son?

Victim #2: My stomach is pained with indigestion! I fear it is the chili I ate for dinner.

Zazu: (whips out some Tums and pours them down the guy's mouth) NOW BE HEALED OF THE FIRE THAT PLAGUES YOUR BELLY!!!

Victim #2: Zazu Torque has healed me! PRAISE BE TO KAMI-SAMA!!!

Crowd: TRUELY KAMI-SAMA IS WORKING THROUGH THIS BOY!!!!

Zazu: Now, what is disturbing you?

Victim #3: I fear that my life is worthless if I don't have a man. Society has poisoned my brain with its ideals!

Zazu: (looks at audience and jumps into the young lady's arms) FEAR NOT, FOR I SHALL BE YOUR MAN!!!!!!!

Crowd: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (several fangirls throw tomatoes at the lady)

::Suddenly, the door to the Cathedral flies open and Geo runs in, looking very, very sexy in a tux and apparently choking on something. He staggers his way over to the stage...::

Man in crowd: The man is possessed by the devil!!! (the crowd erupts)

Geo: (turning blue) Cho....cho.......kiiiiing....

Woman in crowd: HE SPEAKS THE DEVIL'S TONGUE!!!!

Crowd: EXORCISE HIM, ZAZU TORQUE!!!!!

Zazu: (worried) Don't worry, Geo...I'll do something...errrrr.....umm....BEGONE WITH YOU, SATAN!!! (punches Geo in the gut....but that prooves fruitless because he doesn't HAVE a gut.)

Man in crowd: SATAN HAS A HOLD ON THAT MAN!!!! HE'S MAKING HIS FACE TURN BLUE!!!!

Geo: Good.........bye........wo....rl......d.....

Zazu: BEGONE, SATAN!!!!! LEAVE THIS MAN!!! (grabs Geo around the waist and, in an amazing feat of strength, gives him the Heimlich maneuver.)

Geo: HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!! (hacks up a piece of half-eaten wedding cake and passes out from lack of strength)

Crowd: ZAZU TORQUE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!

Woman in crowd: Hey! That man wasn't possessed!! He was just choking to death on a piece of half-eaten wedding cake! (points to the nasty mess on stage) See!

Man in crowd: YAH! And his "cures" are nothing but common, over-the-counter medications!!

Crowd: ZAZU TORQUE IS A FRAUD!!!! (several people throw tomatoes at him)

Zazu: NOOOO!!!!! COME BACK MY PEOPLE!!!!! (everyone files out, save for the author who fainted from a nosebleed when Geo walked in wearing a tux) Awwwwww......

Eagle: (coming out from backstage) Well, Zazu, you lost your following....but at least you did do something worthwhile. (points at Geo's motionless body)

Zazu: Yah, and now he owes me big time!

Eagle: I think he was fortunate that his sister's wedding was right next door.

Zazu: (blinks) No, I think he's just fortunate to have me save his butt everytime he does something stupid.

Eagle: Well, that too. Kami-sama works in mysterious ways.

Zazu: Yah, but he never gave me anything special and exploitable like healing powers!

Eagle: Well, no one appreciates cheesy 80s programming like Diff'rent Strokes like you...

Zazu: HEY THAT SHOW RULES!!!!

Eagle: It sucks!!!

Zazu: IT RULES!!

Eagle: SUCKS!

Zazu: RULES! (he takes a swing at Eagle and a fight ensues)
