3091: <PM is
walking along, carrying a big bag...>
<...full of stuff. Figgey is peeking his head out of PM's shirt
pocket. It's nighttime, and the nearly-full moon is shining brightly
on the city street. Figgey seems to be pretty upset (even moreso
than when last we saw him).>
Figgey: I knew it! This is
the damoon street that daft Lita womooan lives on! How dare you
welch on our agreemooent?
PM: I'moo-- I mean, *I'm* not
welching on anything. I told you I would take you back to Wurwolf
when I was finished taking over the world, and I'm going to do
it.
Figgey: Aren't you walking to where she and her damoon
friends are living?
PM: Because this is where the next of the
components my ancestor prescribed for his Doomsday Machine design.
I've already got the Necronomicon, a warp core from a flying saucer
from Area 51, the burial mask of Tutankhamen, the infamous Baseball
Diamond, the only remaining print of the alternate-ending series
finale of "Newhart", where Bob wakes up next to Jackie Coogan
instead of Susanne Pleschette, and finally, you. And now, I'm gonna
get the next item on my list!
Figgey: Damoon it mooan! Can't
you see this damoon book has got you on a damoon fool wild goose
chase? I mooean, DAMOON!
PM: Quit saying
"damoon".
Figgey: Fine, then. Tell mooe: what are you going
to try to steal fromoo Lita?
PM: A puppet.
Figgey: A
WHAT?!
PM: Specifically, a "mineature effigee of thinefelf,
crafted from the fineft felte and fibrefille by the three hundred
feventy-fcore and twelfth incarnation of thine enemey multiplicit."
In other words, a puppet of me, made by Lita7412.
Figgey
(snickering): And what purpose could an puppet with your ugly mooug
serve in a doomoo's day mooachine?
PM: I have no idea. For
that matter, I have no idea what a talking knicknack has in it,
either. Guess I'll have to wait until I have all the components
before I find out. Now shush, we're almost there.
<Sure
enough, they've reached the street in front of Batwoman's Nice
Suburban Home.>
PM: Now, to use my handy, dandy,
Thief-o-matic glass cutter...
<He poins a device that
looks like a gun with a suction cup sticking out of the barrel at
the house's big bay window, and pushes the suction cup against the
glass and pulls the trigger. A little robot arm telescopes out from
near the front of the device, and quickly cuts a big circle out of
the window with a laser. The cow seems almost
impressed.>
PM (whispering): See how effortlessly and
silently it cuts through the glass? And now to quietly dispose of
the--
<The glass drops from the suction cup and crashes to
the ground, making a terrible racket. The cow stifles a
laugh.>
PM (whispering): Damn. I knew I should have given
the gripping component greater tractable strength.
<He
hides in the bushes, and waits for one of the residents to
investigate the commotion. When no one does for the span of about 5
minutes, PM shrugs, comes out of hiding, and climbs through the hole
in the glass. He starts to sneak through the family room, when
suddenly the light comes on!>
Figgey: EEP! <He quickly
hides in PM's pocket.>
<PM blinks at the sudden
brightness, and sees Rimmi holding Mr. Poiny McHappysackslasher,
Lita with a frying pan, Evil Mike brandishing brass knuckles, Mickey
with a baseball bat, and Tork with a spatula, all staring at him.
None of them look especially happy to see him.>
PM: Err...
hi!
(He grins sheepishly.)
Rimmi: What the #**%$ do you think
you're doing here, Phunky Moonbootsius?
PM: Umm... I...
err...
EM: Spit it out! This better be good, you bastard. I'm
losing beauty sleep over this!
Mickey: And God knows he needs
it! Ow! <He is hit by Evil Mike.>
PM: Well, I came to
see if 7412 was here.
Tork: At 2 in the morning?!?
PM:
Well, I... um... needed to ask her a favor.
Lita: You *do*
realize that most of my clones don't live with me, don't
you?
PM: Err... I guess...
Lita: And you're damn lucky
2112 doesn't live here, or she'd be feeding you your own pancreas
right now.
PM: Yeah, I know that.
Rimmi: Why the hell
did you need to see her at this time of night, anyway?
PM:
Well, I really wanted to know if she had a PM puppet that I could
use.
EM: A puppet?! He's lamer than you are,
Dork!
Tork: He is not! I mean, I am not! I mean, you know
what I mean.
Lita (sternly): PM.
PM: Yes?
Lita:
You're telling me you broke into our house... at 2 am... to steal a
PUPPET?
PM: Borrow. I wanted to *borrow* a
puppet.
Lita: Riiiiiight. So you broke our nice bay window,
and disturbed our sleep, all over a damn puppet?
PM: Sounds
kind of silly when you put it like that.
Mickey: Sounds
really stupid no matter HOW you put it.
Lita: I happen to
have a PM puppet that 7412 made for me. We were going to use it to
perform embarassing skits at your expense, but I suppose you *could*
borrow it.
PM: Gee, thanks--
Lita: IF! You promise not
to use it for any evil purpose. You aren't going to use it for evil,
are you?
PM: No, ma'am.
Lita: Good. NEXT! You must
promise to give it back when you're finished, in EXACTLY the same
condition you got it.
PM: Okay.
Lita: AND! If you
promise not to take forever to return it. Whatever you need this for
shouldn't take more than a few days at the most, am I
right?
PM: I should probably be done with it by then, I
guess.
Lita: Good. Now, before I give it to you, I'd like to
discuss the matter of our window.
PM: Aw, sheesh. Okay...
<He pulls out his wallet and hands a few large bills to Lita>
Grumblegrumblelousygypgrumble...
Lita: WHAT WAS
THAT??
PM: I said "Thanks for your kindness and mercy, Lita!"
<He grins unconvincingly.>
Lita: You should enunciate
more clearly. It sure as hell didn't sound like you said that to
me.
PM: Ooookaaay.
<Lita nods curtly and leaves the
room. In a few moments she returns with the PM
puppet.>
Lita: There. Now, will you get the hell out of
our house and leave us alone?!?
PM: Yes, Lita. I'm sorry to
have disturbed you.
<He starts to step out through the
hole in the window, until Lita clears her throat at him. Obligingly,
he leaves through the front door.>
PM: Goodnight, and
thanks for the use of the puppet.
Lita:
Goodnight!
Rimmi: Good riddance!
EM: Go to
hell!
Lita (shaking her head): Dammit. Now what are we going
to use to cover up the hole in the window?
Mickey: Tork has a
lifesized cardboard cutout of Nuveena in his room.
Tork: Nuh
uh! No way Nuvie's gonna be used for that!
Rimmi: He's right.
I don't want the neighbors to see that thing in the
window.
<Outside, PM is running away from Batwoman's Nice
Suburban Home.>
PM: Heh heh heh... suckers.
Figgey
(gasping for breath as he sticks his head out of PM's pocket):
Damoonit! You ever hear of underarmoo deodorant?
PM: Shut up.
I sweat when I'm nervous.
TmPM There you go,
Lita! Better late than never, I guess. =) Sarcophagus!
PM
