Please leave suggestions! And um, I dun have anything against gay people. I know a lot of them and they're just like us! Except for that guy that dropped his pants…

Simon: FF8 Style

Zell

Well good day, my name is Simon.

And I like to do drawrings.

I like to draw, all day long.

So come and do drawerings with me.

Girl Voices: Come and do drawerings with me…

FADE IN

INTERIOR is a bathroom, only the bathtub and the wall behind it are visible.

ZELL and SIMON'S DAD are whispering low down so they can't be seen.

SIMON'S DAD

What you mean show?

ZELL

Shh, the camera's on… The kid's coming! Go on!

SIMON'S DAD

I can't just disappear.

ZELL

Well you could get off of me!

SIMON'S DAD

Time sure flies when you're having fun.

SIMON pops up, and ZELL shoves his dad under.

ZELL

What the f-… I mean… Where did you come from?

SIMON

Underground passage.

ZELL

Uh, did you see anything?

SIMON

What…?

ZELL

Good enough.

ZELL looks at the bubbles coming up from under him.

ZELL

So, heh heh… wassup?

SIMON

Daddy, are you pooting?

ZELL

Uh, let's start the show…

SIMON

All right… Good day. My name is Simon; I like to do drawings. Today, my new daddy is in the bath with me.

ZELL

WASSUUUUUP?!!!?

SIMON

Nuttin much.

ZELL

This kid sure learns fast!

ZELL and SIMON share one of those perfect TV moments were a father and son look at each other and smile warmly.

SIMON

I love you, dad.

ZELL

I love you to son.

SQUALL

(shouting from the audience)

I love my dad too!

LAGUNA

(pops up from the water)

I love you too son!

FUJIN runs out and wreaks havoc, knocking things over, screaming, and kicking people, until things aren't so lovely.

ZELL

Thanks Fujie. That was scary.

SIMON

Fujie, did you ever realize that my father became gay after being with you?

FUJIN runs backstage bawling.

ZELL

Guess not.

SIMON

Anyhoo…

ZELL

Very nice. Casual.

SIMON

Thank you daddy. Anyhoo… I drew a picture of us going shopping. This is my second daddy. He wanted the yellow dress, but my first daddy wanted him to get the pink dress. My first daddy likes pink.

ZELL

Yellow is nice. Happy colour!

Laguna

Ya, the one with the firm bum wears yellow…

SIMON

Cheeky monkey!

ZELL

Bum feeler!

LAGUNA goes back under.

ZELL

Does it bother you that your friend's naked father is in your bathtub?

SIMON

Quite frankly, no, it doesn't.

ZELL

…Wow… you really are a special boy. Anyhoo… any other drawings?

SIMON

Well, I did draw something just recently, but I'm not such if I should show it. You see, I saw Seifer and Fujin when I got up for a drink last night, and...

Fujin

(running out and leaping on Simon)

You [censor]!

The audience gasps, as FUJIN rips the paper from SIMON.

FUJIN

DOG?

SIMON

Well, you were growling into his neck, and it reminded me of a doggy…

Fujin

(Oh, so that was just before…) SAW ANYTHING ELSE?

SIMON

No… not really…

FUJIN

NOT REALLY?!!?

FUJIN begins to strangle SIMON.

ZELL

A ha! Ha! I mean… don't do that to my son!

SIMON

(gagging)

My f-father… became… *gack* gay after b-b-being with yooooo…

FUJIN begins to loosen her grip, and back off… as SIMON keeps saying it. Finally, she runs off crying.

FUJIN

Seifer, where are you?

MUFFLED VOICE

Tony! Yes, yes, yes!

Fujin

(leaving the stage)

?

SIMON & ZELL

?

FUJIN

Seifer, he's my… Oh well, may I join you?

SEIFER

Hop in, honey.

ZELL

Did she just talk normally?

SEIFER

Uh, no!

ZELL

Oh, okay.

LOUD HOWARD

MY NAME IS LOUD HOWARD!

SIMON

Well now, there's no need to yell from the audience.

LOUD HOWARD

I'M NOT YELLING!

ZELL

Why is the author watching Dilbert?

SIMON

What?

ZELL

Oh nothing. Ya see…

All of a sudden SIMON'S FATHER escapes from under Zell and breaks through the back of the tub.

SIMON

(looking back)

Daddy?

ZELL

Oi vay! Turn off the camera!

CAMERAMEN

But… the song.

ZELL

Grrr…

Well good day, I'm Simon's father.

And, uh… GAH!

FUJIN is kicking ZELL into a state of fear to use his singing voice ever again as the camera fades out.
