This Week: The Monorail!

ON PHONE

Broiler: Hey Nutter, I am showered and toweled and ready for Sunday pranks.

Nutter: Yes, but I have no pants on. That makes me not ready, and sad also.

Broiler: But Nutter, how can you be sad when there are tankards to be had?

Nutter: Tankards?

Broiler: At Von’s.

Nutter: I love tankards at Von’s. I will now find my pants and my smile.

AT VON’S

Nutter: I love being here at Von’s, drinking tankards!

Broiler: Me too, I love tankards!

Nutter: Oooh, the Seahawks are playing the football on the television screen!

Broiler: Kitna is an interception machine!

Nutter: Kitna is built specifically for throwing interceptions. He is a machine!

Broiler: My tankard is empty! I am drunk! Let us go ride the Monorail!

Nutter: To the Monorail!

EN ROUTE

Nutter: We will take the secret entrance that no one knows but me and now you.

Broiler: Did you know that the Monorail was built for the Robot World Series in 1846?

Nutter: Shhhh! Such talk in the secret entrance is forbidden.

Broiler: Secret entrances are great! That way we won’t have to bump into ugly consumers at Westlake.

Nutter: I will negotiate these stairs with much panache.

Broiler: You have to take them three at a time and not be in a hurry.

MONORAIL

Nutter: Ha ha ha, look! That woman has been swallowed by a glass monster!

Broiler: She will make us tickets! Hello ticket lady. Are you busy today?

Ticket Lady: It’s been crowded.

Nutter: Yes because who would not want to ride the Monorail on Sunday!

Ticket Lady: Uh, yeah sure.

Broiler: Do you serve tankards on this futuristic tube train?

Ticket Lady: No.

Nutter: That is a shame because we are tired and thirsty from much activity.

Broiler: Please direct me to the Monorail’s lavatory now.

Nutter: Wow, such a line forming behind us. Let’s all get on the Monorail!

ON THE RAIL

Broiler: Look, a small one. Hey little girl. Do you love the Monorail as much as I do?

Little Girl: Yes!

Broiler: I doubt it!

Nutter: Excuse me sir, do you love the Monorail as much as I do?

Sir: (No response)

Nutter: Can I have some of that hot dog you eat so well?

(Sir leaves)

Nutter: I think he has something against the Monorail, Broiler.

Broiler: Wait, was that a comma there?

Nutter: Why, yes. Here comes the driver, Broiler. We can ask him questions, questions!

Broiler: Do you love to drive the Monorail?

Monorail Driver: Umm, yeah. It’s fine.

Nutter: Do you and the other Monorail captains extend your tour to Von’s?

Broiler: With tankards?

Monorail Driver: No, not really.

Broiler: What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen in all your years driving this steel horse?

Monorail Driver: A fat hairy ass mooning me from the Ramada Inn!

Broiler: That’s funny that you saw a butt!

Nutter: The kind with hair!

Broiler: I love the Ramada Inn!

Nutter: Do girls fall under your power when you drive the Monorail?

Broiler: Do they swoon?

Nutter: Yes, do they swoon?

Monorail Driver: Heh heh. Not really.

Nutter: But you are a hypnotist with your levers and dials. How can it be so?

Broiler: We are at Seattle Center now! What an efficient little worm this is! It’s like we’re flying!

Nutter: Through the skies! Oh look! Here comes another Monorail driver!

Broiler: Yoo hoo. Over here. Can we ask you questions?

Monorail Driver: Sure.

Broiler: Is that big wrench like a key?

Monorail Driver: Sort of.

Nutter: Do you each have your own or do you have to share them?

Monorail Driver: There are a few of them.

Broiler: Sharing is important!

Nutter: His wisdom speaks volumes, and it’s true about what he said.

Broiler: How does the Monorail work?

Monorail Driver: There are a bunch of bus-type wheels that hug the rail. It’s all electric pow—

Broiler: Does it have rechargeable batteries?

Monorail Driver: No, there’s a power line. Sort of like a trolley.

Broiler: A trolley! A trolley!

Nutter: Does this sporty number come standard with antilock brakes?

Monorail Driver: These brakes slow the train down by creating an electromagnetic field.

Nutter: That’s where robot cows graze and breed.

Broiler: Is this like a bullet train?

Monorail Driver: Um, not really.

Broiler: Do you wish it went to Vegas?

Monorail Driver: What?

Broiler: Can I drive it?

Monorail Driver: No!

Nutter: Does driving this every day back and forth drive you crazy?

Broiler: Bonkers?

Nutter: Mad?

Broiler: Are you out for blood?

Monorail Driver: No, it’s fine. I used to drive a bus. This is way less stress and I get to be home at night with my family.

Broiler: Family is important!

Nutter: Do you think you’re the best Monorail driver ever?

Monorail Driver: I don’t know. I’m pretty good at it.

Nutter: I think you’re the best Monorail driver ever.

(Monorail driver blushes)

Broiler: Here we are back at Westlake. The Monorail Driver has to go to the other side of the train now.

Nutter: Bye! Thank you for the answers you give. Hey Broiler! Let’s ride this back and forth seven more times and then get more tankards! I want to get my $1.25’s worth.

Broiler: Monorail! Monorail!

Nutter: Tankards! Tankards!

Broiler: I love Sundays and I love the Monorail and I love tankards at Von’s!

Nutter and Broiler: We love Seattle’s Secret Monorail! And tankards at Von’s!

Nutter: And John Kitna!
