The Manitoulin Interview
by drkraven01
Still in studio,
Henry and Dr Dave are privately talking about the fun they have when teaching science to children. they are both sitting closer to the coffee decanter,
The sound man reminds them that they are on air again.
Camera on Dr Dave,
"Welcome back. I'm talking with Dr Henry Mcoy, An internationaly respected geneticist who is currently working as a teacher at the Xavier Academy in New York. ... Henry."
Camera on Henry,
"Yes, And I've arranged a rather shameless plug to advertise the school. If I may..."
Camera on Dr Dave,
"By all means, Roll plug.."
Switch to brief outdoor shot of Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters.
Switch to indoor shot of a bald man behind a desk, the lighting and sound are not very good,
("My name is Professor Charles Xavier, I established this school to be a safe place for uniquely gifted children to have the best education possible. Our mission is to pave the way to a better future. A future of peace and acceptance.")
Switch back to studio
Camera on Henry.
"Stars and garters, that was awfull. I should have previewed it."
Camera on Dr Dave, smiling.
"I've seen worse. I may have made worse. It gets the point across"
Back to Henry. also smiling.
"It's my own fault. I should have let the students do it. Never trust the film making skills of a freind with beer."
Camera back to Dr Dave,
"You've told us a bit about the school, maybe you could tell us something about yourself."
Back to Henry.
"I suppose I could do that, At the risk of rambling autobiographical. I was born in Dumfee, Illinois. My parents, Edna and Norton, are still alive and well. At the risk of sounding ungratefull, I must confess that I dont see them as much as I should. However I atribute every noble facet of my persona to their influence. I attended the university of Illinois. Graduated at the top of my class. And was briefly a local football legend..."
Henry pauses to sip his coffee,
"I was recruited into the X men shortly after graduation, but left to work in the private sector. I was hired at Brand to work in biochemistry. I left the company after a series of unpleasant events and accidents."
Henry gazes off whistfully for a moment.
" I eventualy joined the Avengers, and then the Defenders. I then found myself with old freinds in X Factor, It was a rather chaotic period. Eventualy the X men were re established, and I couldn't resist the lure of old times. I've worn the X ever since."
Henry tops up his coffee before continuing.
"Of course thats only the impersonal overview. I've gone through a number of changes. And lost freinds and loved ones along the way. It hasn't all been good, but I suppose I'm fairly content with my life."
Henry sips his coffee and picks at his sweater for a moment.
"As for my research, I'm somewhat less than satisfied. I haven't had a great deal of time to engage in pure research. But hopefully along with teaching, I shall be able to make up for it."
Henry sighs and takes another sip.
Pause for comercial break
