1 $10 Worth of an Interview from Racetrack

Interview Done By: Lilah Delilah… or me… Katie Louden

Cameraman: Rob-Roy Fingerhead *ROB-ROY FINGERHEAD?!*

Extras: Spot, Pie Eater

This is the second interview I've written. For the record, I LOVE Max Casella (Racetrack) and what I say in here is completely fictional, obviously. Well… please R & R!

Oh, and ONE last thing; When I do the whole "ROB-ROY FINGERHEAD?!" bit, it's from the television show "The Monkees". There was a guy in it and every time they said his name, the guys would go, "ROB-ROY FINGERHEAD?!" I just think it's cute. *Grins*



Lilah Delilah: Hello all. Lilah Delilah here. Today is a special day, as all are. I am here to interview Racetrack, who happened to be in the last interview I had with Spot Conlon. Right now, I am here in an abandoned warehouse to talk to Racetrack.

Rob-Roy Fingerhead: I'm here too.
