The Walking Brain-Dead Part 6

[Rick Grimes, Bill Clinton, Ted Nugent and Barack are standing around Marilyn Monroe’s grave.  A hulking form calling himself the Governor has just approached them.]

 THE GOVERNOR: Come with me if you want to live.

 RICK: What? Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Governor!  This is officially getting too ri-gosh-dang-diculous!  I quit!  I’m done.  I want out of my contract. 

 THE DIRECTOR: Wait!  Rick, baby.  Come back.  Stay in character.  Don’t do this to me. The fourth wall is crumbling down all around us!

 RICK: No.  I’m done.  If anyone sees me in this drivel, I’ll never work again.

 THE DIRECTOR: Don’t be like this.  We can work this out.

 RICK: No.  THIS.  All of THIS.  What you have created.  It can’t be worked out.  Too deeply flawed.  This is just the last straw.  I can’t be a part of this any more.

 THE DIRECTOR: It’s just a bit of bad on purpose, campy fun.  You know. Schlocky.  People like it.  Just like Troll 2.

 RICK: And have any of the actors in Troll 2 ever been seen again?

 THE DIRECTOR: (stammers)

 RICK: My point exactly. 

 THE DIRECTOR: Well, some of them were in the documentary about Troll 2.

 RICK: My agent will be in touch.

 THE DIRECTOR: You have to stay.  You’re my centerpiece.  My rock.  The show won’t work without you.

 THE GOVENOR: Hey.  You said I was your rock.  I was your centerpiece.  I can’t work like this, with all these true lies.  Either he goes or I go.  When you are ready to apologize, I’ll be in my trailer.  I’ll be there to PUMP (claps) your maid.

 RICK: That isn’t even your catch phrase.  That’s from the SNL bit.

 THE GOVERNOR: Hast la vista, baby. Let me know when he is gone, and I’ll be back!

 THE DIRECTOR: Arnie, wait.  Don’t go.  No, Rick.  Come back. 

 RICK: You can use my understudy. That’s why you have him.  Ricky, come here.  Here’s the script.  I know, I know.  The dialog is stilted and forced and contrived, and nobody behaves as if they have any brains at all, but try and make it work.  Good bye everyone, hopefully forever.

BARACK: Good bye, darling.  Call me if you are every feeling lonely again. The other night was wonderful.

 THE DIRECTOR: Oh, why didn’t I pay attention during the Diva Management class in film school? Can someone go tell Mr. Scharzenegger I’m ready to kiss up to him again?

 To be continued, maybe, if I feel like it and can get new help.

  1. Yeah, and Marilyn Monroe is in a mausoleum behind a large building in West Los Angeles; not in a grave. Try to make sure your zombie stories are totally realistic or you will just lose your audience!
