Father Patrick O'Rourke was not a man given to superfluous comments. For him the world was a bitter struggle with the demonic forces that were constantly at work and constant vigilance was required to keep them at bay. When he received the call he was not surprised. He had seen the devil's work too often. Putting on his cape, he collected his things and rushed out into the night with a grim expression fixed on his world-weary face.
As he always did the good father had put on the mask he'd donned for all of the previous occasions he was called to perform his "miracles". When he arrived at the hospital he was turned away. When he asked why he wasn't allowed in the security guard, Captain Sedgewick Pilkington (retired) said, "Look Bozo this place is full "real clowns", we don't need any dressed up ones". Shunned for the first times he slunk back to the rectory defeated for the one and only time in his illustrious career as the comic exorsist.

She had recently "found" religion (it had been lurking in a forgotten, dusty corner of her life)and she looked forward to the weekly visits of Father Patrick O'Rourke. A taciturn man, certainly, but strong, and she admired strength in a man. She thought she had heard the doorbell, and a frisson of excitement shivered up her spine. It was, indeed, the good Father. "Come with me, quick!" he exclaimed, "we are needed desperately at the hospital!"

It seemed that the renowned Geneticist, Dr. Igor Frankenstein-Pallsworth had managed to, with the help of his assistant of 4 decades Torrence, extract enough DNA from one of the bales of hay containing "parts" (the brain) of Lady Posonby-Smythe's dear de-parted husband Howard to clone him. Well to say that Lady Posonby-Smythe was elated at the prospect of being reintroduced to, at least a facimile of her husband, would have been an understatement in the extreme.

I seem to be waking up after a long sleep but i have no idea where i am or what i am doing here? what is this strange place? what are all these strange tubes attached to my bed? wait, this isn't a "bed!" what is it? what kind of place is this? who am i? what am i doing here? where is here? what are all those lights? i hears bells and buzzers and now, there are voices, strange voices!

Dr. Igor Frankenstein-Pallsworth looked down on Howard, or at least something that looked and sounded, according to his wife, like him and said," Can you stop with all the questions already? Torrence give me a number 36 syringe ...the one with the yellowish liquid in it". Dutifully Torrence did as he was told and the good doctor injected the liquid into Howards left arm. As the last drop founds it's way out of the syringe Dr. Igor Frankenstein-Pallsworth gasped as he noted, too late, that it wasn't a number 36 at all but a number 25. He screamed at Torrence, "You fool look what you've done that was the wrong needle. You gave me the one with the Ebola bacteria not the sodium pentathol. As he adjusted his hairpiece he yelled, "You're fired. Now get out".

Editor's Window: Amid numerous rave reviews, several broadway critics have suggested that "Mr. & Mrs. Nobody" may possibly have become character development heavy and plot tempo light... presenting some theater goers an unanticipated challenge in keeping track of all the Somewhere, USA, Citizens while the story line lags. One writer replied, "Mind your biz. We're playing to full houses Tuesday through gala evening performances on Saturday (house is dark Sunday and Monday). Another observed, "The rest of the neon strip is deserted."

Chapter 47:[/b]
Mr. & Mrs. Nobody (Rupert and Fran to their friends), being the writers of this epic play/story, thought that maybe, just maybe, there was potential for it to go to Broadway...well maybe Off Broadway to start. They had, in their minds eye, just the people (stars of stage and film) to best take on the many roles involved. Fran said to Rupert, "You know Daddy, her pet name for him, this has all the hallmarks of a Mega hitmaker". Rupert, being a bit of a "downer Don" replied, "Do you really think so Sweetums?".
Chapter 49
The following morning during Mikes sobering up period and through a series of emotionally painful flashbacks he realized to his horror that he was in a completely different play from the masterpiece 'Mr & Mrs Nobody' soon to be unleashed off broadway, Mikes play, cryptically entitled 'The kidz are alright but I'm (censored)' was coming to the end of it's short run on skid row. Meanwhile over a breakfast of low self esteem and diazapan Rupert and Fran had decided that charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan would be perfect to portray the title roles in their upcoming block buster.

When Fran was finally able to contact Charlie (he was at the same rehab as Lindsay) about their idea he was gungho. He even said that he'd pitch the idea to Lindsay and would get back to them ASAP. Four weeks later he called back to ask who they were and how they were able to find out where, both he and Lindsay, had been sent to by the courts.

Fran; always the more practical of the two due to her unusually high testosterone levels , turned to mike with a half manic, half angelic gleam in her eye and demmanded that he google-map the rehab center and find out just how far off broadway it was. She in the meantime would hack into the rehabs admission files and start lining up auditions for the remainder of the cast.

Unfortunately Fran had forgotten to inform Mike that she had not paid their last months internet fees and when he went to go online there was, duh, no connection. Mike contacted Fran (he was in a furious state) reminding her that if they had any hope of getting Charlie and Lindsay on board she;d have to, immediately, arrange to pay the bill. In the meantime Charlie had received a call from his agent, Hiram Walker, saying that Disney was interested in having him play the lead in their upcoming blockbuster remake of Death of a Salesman.
