C: (concentrates on driving)
E: Are we there now?
(This goes on until they finally reach the bowling alley)
C: We're here!
E: Yay! (pauses and looks around) where are we?
C: A bowling alley, bowling is a fun game where you use a bowling ball to knock down white objects called pins.
E: Oh…(stores information for later use)
C: First we need bowling shoes (walks over to counter) size 6 please (hands over her shoes and receives the bowling equivalent) Ok Erik your turn.
E: (stares blankly)
C: (explains slowly) give the man your shoes….
E: NO! (Looks possessively at shoes) THEY'RE MINE! (Laughs manically).
C: Honey, you will get them back when were done.
E: Are you sure? (Stares suspiciously at guy behind the desk)
C: I promise.
E: All right (hands over shoes reluctantly) But if I don't get them back I'll Punjab him! (smiles smugly)
C: Ok…we're playing at lane 10.
E: Which lane is lane 10?
C: The one with the "Lane 10" sign over it duh (rolls eyes) you stay here; I'll get us some sodas, and while you're waiting, pick out a bowling ball (walks over to bar area).
E: (picks up first bowling ball he sees which happens to be the heaviest size and drops it).
Random kid: Haha…you're not very strong are you mister! My grandmother is stronger than you! (snickers at his "joke")
E: (turns around with a huge swirl of his cape, as lightening flashes in the background and The Phantom of The Opera theme music plays) Excuse me?
Rk: (totally unfazed by the special effects) Does that happen whenever you talk to people cause' if it does that would be---
E: SILENCE FOOL!
C: Erik is everything O.K? (glances back)
E: Everything's fine! (pats little kid on the head until Christine turns around again) Now, give me your bowling ball! (glares evilly)
Rk: Fine. Whatever, I'm over it (hands over bowling ball).
E: (notices the kid's white shirt) Why are you wearing white?
Rk: Oh, I'm with a camp (points over to his group of friends all wearing white t-shirts) it's the "uniform".
E: Thinks back to what Christine said earlier: bowling is a fun game where you use a bowling bowl to knock down white objects called pins. (thinks to himself) White objects…
Rk: Uh…sir, why are you looking at me like that?
E: Can you call your friends over I want to take a picture of you guys for the uh…newspaper.
Rk: Whatever (motions to is friends, they come and join him).
E: Ok ummm you stand here…(arranges kids in the shape of the pins and picks up bowling ball) on the count of three say cheese (gets ready to throw ball)…one…two…
C: ERIK STOOOOOOOOOP!
Kids: (run away frightened)
C: What were you doing?
E: Bowling…duh
C: Erik, you do not bowl with little children the pins are down there (points to end of lane).
E: I know…but it's boring knocking down things that aren't alive…(starts to mope).
C: Oh stop it…now try to hit those pins.
E: Fine (picks up bowling ball and throw it as hard as he can. It goes into the gutter within seconds. Reaches for another bowling ball)
C: Um…good shot honey…uh you get one more try.
E: (tries again but fails miserably and watches in horror as the bar sweeps his pins away) MY PINS! WHERE ARE THEY GOING? (paces frantically) THEY STOLE MY BOWLING BALLS TOO! WHAT CURSE IS THIS?
C: (sighs) Erik dear, the pins are not yours, and neither are the bowling balls…see the bowling ball comes back (points to machine)
E: (stares mesmerized)
C: Maybe this is too difficult for you…go try the arcade over there (points to arcade and hands Erik two dollars in quarters).
E: (happily walks over to the flashing lights of the arcade, goes to one of those crane games and laughs manically, causing two passing little kids to run back to their moms) This is too easy! I can event things more complicated than his! (Inserts coins into machine and grabs onto lever. He lets the crane down onto a stuffed powerful girl but the crane lifts up with nothing) HEY I HAD THAT! WHAT A SCAM! (Punjabs the next person going by him) FIX THIS NOW! I WANT MY QUARTERS BACK!
Person: uh…uh…I don't work here…but he does! (Points to person behind desk and is released by the phantom) Oh and if you don't mind me asking aren't you suppose to be a genius?
E: (glares evilly)
Person: Never mind (runs away).
