(Jigen and Goemon *Lupiin III* run onstage with soap and an armadillo.)

Jigen: Hey Goemon? Do you want your sword clean and shiny?

Goemon (badly acting): Why yes, Jigen. I do. But how can I possibly clean THIS?

(Goemon pulls out a sword covered in blood stains and scratches.)

Jigen: That's simple...(pulls out a large bottle with Lupiin's face on the cover) ...with THIS Lupiin Brand Sword Cleaning, er, Stuff!

Goemon: (puts hand to cheek) Gasp! You have GOT to be- ....... uhhh....*squints eyes* Pulling my, er, CHAIN, Jigen!

Jigen: .........*clears throat* No, Goemon, I kid you not! This here-

Goemon: You're kidding?

Jigen: Gah, NO I'm not kidding, Goemon! *whisper*- Stick to the lines, damn it!!

Goemon: *whisper* - But, reading the first lines, I'd think that you'd say "I'm not pulling your chain." But instead you tell me that you're not kidding. What if you confuse the audience?

Jigen: (no more whispering) IT'S THE SAME THING, YOU MORON!

Goemon: WELL WHAT IF NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT?!

Jigen: THEN-

???: SHUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!

Jigen + Goemon: Hmm?

(The two look to the back of the audience where Lupiin is holding cue cards, and pointing at them with annoyance.)

Lupiin: Just read the cards you guys!

Jigen: Tell that to HIM...

Goemon: Fine, fine...

Jigen: *clears throat* This liquid is filled with bacteria killing chemicals, and leaves a clear, bright shine on whatever it touches!

Goemon: Hmm...so you are saying that we should try it on my sword?

(A snicker is heard from the audience.)

Videad: *thinking* - Blasted teenage hormones...

Jigen: Uhhh....-*trying to ignore* Try it yourself, Goemon!

Goemon: Wait, do you mean pour it on me or- (Lupiin signals him to cut if off.) Okay.

(Goemon pours the liquid on his sword, *damn hormones!* and acts amazed.)

Goemon: Oh my goodness! My sword! It is shiny, and clean!

Jigen: And that's not all! Now it's sharper and more slick!

(Annoying laughter is heard from the audience.)

Videad: MYAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!! -crying with laughter* Damn my hormones!!! (continues to laugh)

Goemon + Jigen: ................................

Goemon: Er, do you know where I can get more of this?

Jigen: Why you can find Lupiin's Sword Shiner-

Videad: DAMN IT!!!!

Jigen: -at every Big Ass Chibi-Mart, Large Butt Mini-Store, and Wal-Mart. Get some for YOUR sword today!

Goemon + Jigen: .....................

Lupiin: Pssh...guys! (starts pointing to lip corners) Smile!

Goemon + Jigen: Oh! (They smile huge smiles.)

(Lupiin presses the play button on a tape player.)

Lupiin Girls: *singing* Lupiin's Sword Shiner! Hot, sexy, Sword Shiner! Makes whatever matters shiny and slick! Lupiin's Swoooooord.....Shiner!!

(Clapper maching plays.)

Videad: Can't.....breathe....too....much.....innuendo....in one.....sitting....

Jigen: *still grinning* My jaw hurts...

Goemon: I think my cheeks are stuck...and what were we going to do with that armadillo again?

(The armadillo is sitting in the audience eating popcorn and playing on a Game Boy.)
