331. Scenes from the Second Seat on the Right

Saturday, July 28th, 5:00pm
Ethyl (and Penny and Pooch)

 

Ethyl sits at the window. Penny and Pooch take the seat beside her.

Ethyl: What’s that you have in your purse? A rat?

Penny: No, this is Pooch. Isn’t she cute? (makes baby talk at dog)

Ethyl: Looks like a scraggly little rodent to me.

Penny: (moves purse as far away from Ethyl as possible) Don’t say that to Pooch! You’ll give her a complex!

Ethyl: Are you nuts? Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? It’s a dog. It doesn’t understand me. (to Pooch) You’re ugly and your mistress is an indescribable idiot.

Penny stands and walks away, apologizing to Pooch as she goes.

Ethyl: (calling after her) And stop dressing your rat in colours that match yours! It makes you look like your rat’s raccoon bitch!
