2: Commercial Break
Arden cut to a commercial and sat back. Anakin and Luke had been removed from the premises and Frodo had to go talk to an agent about that diaper commercial. Well, might as well bring out Obi-Wan and the other special guest... She tapped the microphone attached to her shirt-collar and told them to bring out the other males.
The men took their seats as Arden informed the audience welcome back, here with her as a follow-up interview was Obi-Wan Kenobi and Samwise Gamgee. They were met with applause, though not so enthusiastic as before (surely these two would not provide as much entertainment as the others...evil was always much more fun).
"So, being the friends and confidants of the two previous guests, I have a feeling that this question is one that many want answered. This is open to both of you; when did you first begin to suspect that your friends were being affected by the dark side?"
Sam started, "Well, no offense to poor Mr. Frodo but for me it was one night by the firelight when I saw him playing with that confound ring. He just wouldn't put the thing down. Also there was the incident when he applied some lubricant to the thing and—"
"Alright then! Obi-Wan, how about you? When did you first begin to think that Anakin might have been influenced by the dark side of the force?"
"Before the security hologram tipped me off, you mean? I'd have to say it was when I also caught him doing something rather odd. He was doodling at his desk and got up to fetch a drink. I went over to see what he had been drawing and found a sketch of a huge warrior with two light-sabers, dead bodies all around him with an arrow pointing to him that said "Me" and one that said "Jedi" pointing to the bodies."
"What did you do?"
"Figured he was just in one of his moods."
"You mean, this sort of thing wasn't unusual?"
"Oh no not at all, why?"
A: exchanges a questioning glance at Samwise who shrugs "No reason. Now, why don't you both tell the viewers what your fondest memory of your friend is?"
"Oh I will never forget the time Mr. Frodo and I sat and watched the sunset together the night we returned from our journey! He had overcome his evil-side by that point (I had finally convinced him to go to that Ring-A-Non Ring-bearers Anonymous meeting, you see)." dreamy expression while the audience "Awww"s
"Isn't that nice? And you, Obi?"
"Well, I suppose that the time we went to that pod race when he was a young boy and he annihilated his opponents one by one. That was a pretty fun time."
With a silent audience, Sam inquired, "Obi-Wan?"
"Yes?"
"You're as dumb as an orc."
