[Plethora]

<p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;He Just Doesn&rsquo;t Listen&rdquo;<br />
A One Act Play<br />
By Earl Douglas &amp; Dave McDonald</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: I gotta tell you the
truth, I never bought the premise of the devil -- I don&rsquo;t get it.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t get where the whole thing comes from.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: Where there&rsquo;s one force, um, one source
of evil.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Well, I mean, God is
the supreme being, right?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: Yes.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: And he can do
whatever he wants.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: Right</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: So the fact that he
doesn&rsquo;t squash out the devil means what?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: That he&rsquo;s not all powerful?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Or&hellip; he is all
powerful and he wants the devil there &ndash; I don&rsquo;t know what&rsquo;s happening but Earl
just threw his stuff and is screaming right now.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s just <em>screaming</em>
at Dave.&nbsp; I could hear it through the
sound proof stuff.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: Yeah, there&rsquo;s two, ah, thick panes of
glass &ndash;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: And Dave, (<em>Perrynoid&rsquo;s Phone Song starts softly in the
background</em>) Dave hasn&rsquo;t even looked over at him.&nbsp; It was, ah, from Seinfeld, it was like Coco.&nbsp; Member when
George went so crazy, he couldn&rsquo;t deal?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez:
Look at Coco going at it (<em>laughing</em>).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Earl, what happened
in there buddy?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">(<em>Perrynoid&rsquo;s song is louder now, and is the only thing heard for a few
moments, then a rustling at a mic</em>)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Earl: He &ndash; I don&rsquo;t think
he&rsquo;s grasped the idea that there&rsquo;s a SHOW going on.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Right.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Earl: And, he&rsquo;s screaming
at me &ldquo;HIT THE SONG! HIT THE SONG!&rdquo; I&rsquo;m like, and I&rsquo;m like, and I&rsquo;m like, don&rsquo;t
disturb the flow of the show.&nbsp; There&rsquo;s&mdash;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Alright Master Po has to go in and stand between those guys now.&nbsp; Alright, here comes Dave.&nbsp; Dave has been sent out of the room by Master
Po.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dave: The phones--</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: Alright, hold on,
nobody&rsquo;s asking you to talk.&nbsp; Master Po,
thank you for being on top of this because it&rsquo;s always helpful to know that
these guys can&rsquo;t hurt each other.&nbsp; What
is happening?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dave: Phones have been
going off and on, off and on, the <em>entire</em>
show from, from minute <em>eight</em>.&nbsp; And he will not play the <em>fucking</em> song.&nbsp; Mars even
asked me &ldquo;play the song, why aren&rsquo;t you playing the song?&rdquo; He&rsquo;s afraid because,
he&mdash;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">(<em>Dave and Earl both speaking</em>)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Earl: No, I&rsquo;m not afraid&mdash;
(<em>loudly) </em>I see a full phone bank.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dave: He thinks, he
thinks you guys are gonna take it out on him.&nbsp;
For some fucking pussy ass reason.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, I keep getting fucking stares, saying &ldquo;Dave, wake up with the
fucking phones.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Earl: I&rsquo;m hearing you
answer the phone.&nbsp; </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dave: But the fucking
phones go off and on every fucking three minutes.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ron: (laughs)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Earl: I&rsquo;m hear you answer
the phone.&nbsp; </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dave: So I look like the
fucking dickhead, when you can&rsquo;t fucking play a song because you thi&mdash;think ron
fez are gonna get mad at you.&nbsp; They know
it&rsquo;s not your fault.&nbsp; Play the fucking
song.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fez: Why don&rsquo;t we just play American Idol
mus

Do you think ESD is trying to gaslight Earl, like Rory used to do to Al?<br>
Maybe they can get Al or Rory to guest referee the inevitable fight between ESD and Earl.
