Knifin' Around

(Credits roll at the START of the show, accompained by Bjork's singing)

(In the control room, Edward Kowalczyk is on Eneti's monitor)

Ed K.: They were old people's sunglasses.

Eneti: Really?

Ed K.: Yeah, you can buy them, you can buy them in Dallas airport.

Eneti: Cool.

Ed K.: Yeah, and you can put them over normal sunglasses.

(Mewtwo comes in holding a CD)

Mewtwo: Eneti, could you burn me a hundred copies of this?

Eneti: What is it?

Mewtwo: The new LiVE CD.

Ed K.: (Stares at Mewtwo from Eneti's screen)

Mewtwo: That the guy from LiVE?

Eneti: Yes.

Ed K.: Hello.

Mewtwo: Hey, how's it goin'?

(Ed gives Mewtwo the thumbs up)

Mewtwo: Good. Eneti, we'll talk about it later. Hey! What's that? (Walks over to a fancy Poké Center like curing device in the control room)

Eneti: Oh, that's a, uh...what is that? (Loud noises off camera) Hey!

Mewtwo: (Holding Eneti by the throat) Now you listen to me. I could go to jail in Russia if Ed found I was copying his CD. (glances over at Ed, who is watching them) Don't look at me! We're talking about reploids. (to Eneti) So you take Ed out there while I burn and verify (to Ed) These...reploids. (another loud noise as he releases Eneti)

Eneti: You don't know how to work it.

Mewtwo: Eneti, I have tele-kinetic powers that are able to reduce any complex machine into a yes or no answer.

Eneti: Ok, but that's not the CD burner...

Mewtwo: (interrupting) Eneti...yes.

Eneti: (pause) Alright. (Walks off)

Ed K.: Thank you very much, Mewtwo, for having me on your show.

Mewtwo: Sure, sure...hey, wanna, wanna see how this works? (He presses a button, the healing device spurts sparks, then falls over, and explodes)

(Ed watchs slack-jawwed like)

Mewtwo: Twenty. Yes.

(On the set, Eneti walks out with funky background music)

Eneti: (With DJ Reed voice) Oh yeah! Welcome to the Eneti Show!

Ed K.: Thank you very much, Eneti.

Eneti: Thank YOU very much, Edward Kowalczyk, for sitting next to the MON! Of the century! Oh yeah!

Mewtwo: (off screen) Come on! (explosion, music stops)

(The machine is still burning and Mewtwo is on fire)

Mewtwo: No! No!

(Meanwhile, back at the set)

Mewtwo: (off camera) No!

Eneti: That is fascinating! (Music starts again) Edward, you are very very fascinating and very very perceptive!

Ed K.: Really...

Eneti: So interesting and perceptive that I think we will now fight with chainguns. (Eneti reveils a Chaingun Ripper, the music changes to the Duke Nukem 3D theme)

Lugia: (off camera) YEAH! TO THE DEATH!

(The machine flies across the studio and hits Lugia's pod)

Mewtwo: (Comes on set) That things wasn't a CD burner to begin with! (Staring at Eneti holding the Chaingun) What are you doing?

Eneti: (still with Reed's voice) I'm hosting the show!

Mewtwo: With that gun?

Eneti: (Normal voice) Uh...yeah.

Mewtwo: Oh, really.

Eneti: (clears throat, gun is gone, he resumes Reed's voice) Well hey, Ed asked me if he could see my gun, and Ed's doing a song about a knife, and he wanted to see what a possible murder weapon DOES look like, isn't that right Ed? (Reveils gun to him)

Ed K.: No.

Mewtwo: It sounded like a good idea. So do it.

Ed K.: (Shakes his head) No. (Laughs)

Mewtwo: Ok, I'll do it. (Low voice) I'm a kni-i-i-fe. Knifin' aro-o-ound. Cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut... (Walks back and forth making "cut" noises)

Ed K.: Do you take those, those (motions with his hand) ...intelligence drugs?

Mewtwo: I don't need intelligence drugs, Ed. Because I don't know what they are, ok, Ed?

Ed K.: Yeah.

Mewtwo: But I will put anything into my mouth that is given to me. Whether it's supposed to or not. Because...I'm different.

Ed K.: (stifels laughter)

Mewtwo: Is everyone clear on that?

Ed K.: Very.

Mewtwo: Not deranged...just different.

Ed K.: No, that's because you're weird. (Laughs)

Lugia: (off camera) Whatch y'all doin'?

Ed K.: (Laughs)

Mewtwo: "Y'all"?

Lugia: Yeah.

Mewtwo: Where'd you learn to talk like that?

Lugia: Hattiesburg.

Mewtwo: What were you doing in Hattiesburg?

Lugia: Kickin' it.

Mewtwo: Oh really?

Lugia: Yep.

Mewtwo: Well, that's interesting.

Lugia: It IS interesting.

Mewtwo: Ed, is that interesting?

Ed K.: No.

Mewtwo: See, Lugia? We're NOT interested.

Eneti: (from control room, with Reed's voice, and funky background music) Well, I just happen to find that it's very VERY interesting!

Mewtwo: Eneti...it's over.

Eneti: (Makes lip buzz sound) Really?

Mewtwo: Yeah.

Eneti: Ok, oh, and your wife's on the phone.

Lugia: Your wife?!? (Laughs)

Mewtwo: I don't have a wife.

Eneti: She says she's your wife.

Mewtwo: Look, tell this woman that she's crazy. Just because I'm famous, have two movies, and is very sexy doesn't mean someone can marry me the second I leave the room.

Lugia: What room?

Mewtwo: Look, listen everyone...(stands up) Please? Listen to me. I have a hit song about a knife...and yes, I'm married. And that's why I want you to hang up right now.

(Ed is zapped off the monitor and is replaced with Mewtwo's wife, played by Duplica)

Mewtwo: Thank you, Eneti. (to his wife) Hey, honey, how are you?

Duplica: Do you like Carbos?

Mewtwo: Are you kidding? That's my favorite food, you know that! Is that why you called me?

Duplica: Can I sing my song?

Mewtwo: Uh, not now, honey, I, uh, I'm in the middle of a, um...giant space war.

Duplica: I, I enjoy talking to you.

Mewtwo: Yes, you do, but like I said, this space war, what can I do? Rockets.

Duplica: Yeah.

Mewtwo: (waving) Yeah, so, you have to go now.

Duplica: Ok.

Mewtwo: Ok. So, I'll talk to you when there's peace. On New Island.

Duplica: (Pause) Yeah, and you like Goldeen or you like Magikarp?

Mewtwo: (Pounds his fist) You know what, it doesn't matter. Because I love you so much...

Duplica: Yeah?

Mewtwo: That it's time for you to go to sleep.

Duplica: Ok.

Mewtwo: Because that's what it means to love a woman so much.

Duplica: Ok, do you-

Mewtwo: Ok, you believe what I'm saying to you, right?

Duplica: Should I sing to you, or sing to-

Mewtwo: Eneti...

(She's zapped off, Ed is returned)

Eneti: You got married?

Mewtwo: Yeah, okay? Everything gets married. Even animals and spiders. And just because they don't have cakes and suits and wedding parties and expensive rings, doesn't mean they're not legally, ahem...married.

Eneti: (Beat)

Mewtwo: C'mon! Fight me!

Lugia: Doesn't seem like you love her.

Mewtwo: (Stares at Lugia)

Lugia: (Blinks)

Mewtwo: Well, love is about compromises, Lugia.

Ed K.: That's right.

Mewtwo: Compromising your future to the city council of Bethesda, Maryland (beat) Cutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcutcut (scissor noise in background)

Ed K.: (Nods while Mewtwo "cuts") But...

Mewtwo: Look, marriage is about hiding in the kudzu behind your apartment, and not going until the lights are completely out.

Eneti: Your wife's on the phone again.

Mewtwo: Uh, tell her that I got shot and tell her that it was very sad, and the last thing I said was "Make sure my wife moves out of my condo."

Eneti: She says it's an emergency.

Mewtwo: Emergency? Patch her through.

(Duplica replaces Ed, this time her Ditto is there)

Duplica: Ditto's going to lay an egg.

Mewtwo: Ok, remember the difference between the nest and the sofa?

Duplica: I think so.

Mewtwo: And remember how angry I got.

Duplica: The smell, it's like...rotting fish.

Mewtwo: Well, that's what happens when you boil the cushions of the couch you've let Ditto lay it's slimy eggs on.

Duplica: Yeah'm.

Mewtwo: Oh, oh, and as long as your there, tell that chili freak Flea he can move out.

Duplica: What's his name again?

Mewtwo: I don't know, he's your damned friend.

Duplica: And I would love to introduce you to him.

Mewtwo: I've already meet him, he's living on our couch, with the slime. And tell him to stop letting his band come to party every Friday night.

Duplica: It makes the little children happy.

Mewtwo: (in low voice) Honey, those are not children, they're packets of creme cheese.

Duplica: Sometimes I can't seperate between the two, do you know that?

Mewtwo: Yeah, I...wish I'd known that when we were just dating.

Duplica: You have a fold, has anyone told you?

Mewtwo: Uh, honey? I buried a present for you out in the yard.

Duplica: Yeah'm?

Mewtwo: Yeah, why don't you go dig it up.

Ditto: Ditto!

(Ed returns to the screen)

Lugia: Hey, um, what'd you bury?

Mewtwo: Her sister.

Lugia: Cool.

Mewtwo: No, Lugia. It's just a bagel, she started calling her sister.

Ed K.: (motioning his mug, like in a toast) Here's to getting hitched, Mewtwo.

Mewtwo: (Raises his mug) Yeah, let's drink until our hearts stop.

(Ed, Mewtwo, and Lugia drink their mugs. Eneti drinks from his cup with a straw. Mewtwo drinks for a long time, leaning backward. He takes a breath, then continues drinking)

Lugia: Cool...well look, Ho-oh's coming by in about 5 minutes so...I gotta skate.

Mewtwo: What are y'all gonna do?

Lugia: I think we're gonna smash light-blubs out by the dumpster.

Mewtwo: Really? I'm going with you.

Lugia: Well... (sighs) You can't. You're not my friend.

Mewtwo: We have a lot of things in common. Your dad's still into those model Dodge Vipers, isn't he?

Lugia: No.

Mewtwo: Well...what's he big in now?

Lugia: Look, when Ho-oh gets here, why don't you go fly around or, hide or something? I don't know, go to the Kitchen.

Mewtwo: Lugia, I'm coming with you.

Lugia: No you're not!

Mewtwo: Then you're not going anywhere!

Ed K.: You've got a, you've got a...(makes cup motions with his hands across his stomach)

Mewtwo: What, Ed?

Ed K.: (Makes motion again) What's that?

Mewtwo: (sighs)

Ed K.: (Motions again) This thing here.

Mewtwo: It's a fold, Ed. It covers my...ahem, never mind.

Ed K.: Well, anyway...

Lugia: Ho-oh's here, see you later!

Mewtwo: WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU EARLIER?!

Lugia: (quietly) He's here!

Mewtwo: (quietly hiding under the desk) Oh, yeah, sorry!

Eneti: Hey, uh, your wife's on the phone again.

(Duplica comes back on)

Mewtwo: Are they gone?

Duplica: Yeah.

Mewtwo: (Emerges from under the desk) What is it?

Duplica: Do you get along with them?

Mewtwo: Well, yeah! There my best friends! That's why I married you, so I wouldn't have them no more.

Duplica: What's the bird's name again?

Mewtwo: Lugia.

Duplica: I was curious about that.

Mewtwo: Well, I'd love to chat, but me and my friends are going to smash light-blubs out by the dumpster, ok?

Duplica: Do what now?

Mewtwo: You know, with Lugia.

Duplica: Well, maybe you should stay indoors.

Mewtwo: Look, I need this. For me. I fell like I'm in jail here!

Duplica: I seem to, um, get the picture if you know what I mean.

Mewtwo: Well, I know what you mean.

(Long pause insures)

Mewtwo: ........What do you mean?

Duplica: Um...enjoy, refreshing time...with my Ditto.

Mewtwo: Refreshing time...with who?

Duplica: My Ditto.

Mewtwo: Well...I won't do that! You think you want your Ditto to have my child?

Duplica: I guess so.

Mewtwo: Well, it's not gonna happen! And don't count on us ever getting married again.

(Ed replaces Duplica once again)

Eneti: So, you goin'?

Mewtwo: No, her Ditto would frisk me if I did.

(Ed gets a piece of yarn out)

Mewtwo: What's that?

Ed K.: It's a worm...

Mewtwo: Ah, God...

Eneti: Your wife's on the phone again.

Mewtwo: Well, tell HER that I'm going to back later than 8!

(Duplica replaces Ed, but this time, sporting a similar look of Jessie)

Mewtwo: Honey!

Duplica: (Laughs)

Mewtwo: You're different.

Duplica: Yes, just for now.

Mewtwo: Well, craziest thing just happened. Another space war, if you can beileve that, and it's...out by the...dumpster, um...

Duplica: Yeah?

Mewtwo: But there's someone here who would love to help you breed his pokémon with your Ditto.

Eneti: Oh no!

Mewtwo: (On monitor) Eneti, get out here. He wants to breed his Nidoking with it.

Eneti: No, I don't.

Mewtwo: Yes, you do.

Eneti: No, I don't!

Mewtwo: (Fires psybeams around him) YES, YOU DO!

Eneti: (Scared half to death) ...Yes, I do...

Duplica: Well, here's Ditto. Now let me see your Nidoking.

Eneti: Oh, man.

Duplica: First, try to make him think erotic thoughts about Misty nude.

(Meanwhile, out by the dumpster in a nearby alley)

Mewtwo: Where's all the glass?

Lugia: Eh, we broke it all...I feel empty...

Mewtwo: Well, here's some cardboard. Let's break it down for easier storage.

Lugia: That's boring!

Mewtwo: No, it's not! It's responsible.

Lugia: I need what you have...(quietly) I need a woman...

(Mewtwo's cell phone rings)

Lugia: One to sell her organs to Black Sabbath...

Mewtwo: Hang on, Lugia. Hello?

Lugia: DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?!

Duplica: I have to say I'm a big fan of circles.

Mewtwo: Well, I happen to be a big fan of Leonardo Dicaprio, and he was in The Beach, and a beach has bubbles that look like circles.

Duplica: Yeah, the one I saw when I was eleven.

Mewtwo: Yeah! You know, honey, all this talk about Leo is making me wanna get married all over again.

Duplica: Really?

Mewtwo: Yeah, because at Whitney's Tear-Jerking Wedding Chapel, you get 20% off each marriage.

Duplica: (Long pause) And what was your name?

(Later, on a cliffside...)

Priest: In sickness, and in health, til' death do you part?

Duplica: Yeah.

Priest: And do you, Mewtwo, take this wo-

(Mewtwo punches Duplica off the cliff)

Mewtwo: Oh no.

(Lugia punches Mewtwo off the cliff)

Lugia: Oh no!

Eneti: (chuckles and raises his left paw) Oh no!

Lugia: Don't.
