The scene opens in the Puppeteers Office in London,England. Director of Puppet Wrestling, Johhny Bullet, dressed in a crumpled shirt and jeans in sleeping in his chair. Clad in a crisp suit, tie and dress pants Mr Lenny Cole, his advisor steps into the office, waking Bullet up.

JB: Mmmm?

LC: Sir, Im afraid we have to edit our report from the research on the upcoming match with Tyler Evans.

JB: What was wrong with what I wrote?

LC: Well you sent me your copies, but they all failed to identify your opponent correctly. Evans isnt the Poison of Pittsburgh. Hes the Demon of Detroit.

JB: Detroit?

LC: Yes, director. That place where they make all the cars.

JB: Ah. Chrysler, Ford, General Motors..

LC: Nope, theyre all bankrupt. Its Toyota, Honda, Kia. Now, moving on. Director, I
learn you are trying to push a rather radical left wing policy through the ranks by demanding fully healthcare coverage for the entire Wrestling department.

JB: Yes I am, Lenny. You see I was doing some research during my time off. And I discovered that more than 60% of our lower level wrestlers do not have any insurance. Obviously we cant have too many wrestlers moonlighting as waiters and cleaner, so introducing full coverage saves them trouble and increases our productivity.

LC: Director, that is a very well reasoned argument.

JB: Thank you.

LC: Its an admirable move.

JB: You're welcome.

LC: Well, it's clear that the committee should agree your new policy is a really excellent plan but in view of some of the doubts being expressed, may I propose that I recall that after careful consideration, the considered view of the committee is that while they considered that the proposal met with broad approval in principle, that some of the principles were sufficiently fundamental in principle and some of the considerations so complex and finely balanced in practice, that, in principle, it was proposed that the sensible and prudent practice would be to submit the proposal for more detailed consideration, laying stress on the essential continuity of the new proposal with existing principles, and the principle of the principal arguments which the proposal proposes and propounds for their approval in principle.

JB: You mean drop it?

LC: I mean, take some time to consider it. Muse about it. Time for pondering. Reflection. Observation.

JB: Lenny, Im afraid not. I have examined this proposal with a comb, and I see no reason why not to institute this.

LC: Let me explain, Director If I may, equally good healthcare will destroy us all.

JB: How so? By injecting us with chemical to make us live forever?

LC: Director, I cannot support your proposal. It reeks of communism and socialism. Forcing our workers to buy insurance would match the second coming of Adolf Hitler.

JB: Hitler gave free healthcare?

LC: Thats not the point! Better paid people deserve better healthcare! Richer people reserve that right just like they fly better planes, get better clothes, use a more refined class of prostitute..

JB: Sorry, Lenny. Two tiered healthcare is a joke, and I will end it know.

LC: Director, who voiced this proposal to you?

JB: Natalya Bodnarenko, our PR specialist.

LC: So this is for publicity?

JB: No, of course not. It is for the welfare of the staff.

LC (Stands up): Director, I see your arguments hold water, and Ill have the
documents written up and sent to you later today. Mrs Bullet is dropping by tonight, isnt she?

JB: Yes. Why?

LC: No reason, Director.
The scene closes and reopens in the welcoming are in the Puppeteers Office. Mrs Bullet, a striking young redhead arrives, and is welcomed by Lenny Cole.

LC: Ah, Mrs Bullet. Johnny is busy on a conference call right now; shall we have a drink in the Atrium?

Mrs B: Of course, why not?

The pair enter the Atrium and LC fills up the glasses...

LC: Have you heard of the Directors idea to give all our staff equal healthcare?

MB: Yes, it seems quite a good proposal. Fair to everyone, and surely a model to
follow.

LC: Why yes, it certainly helps us less fortunate staff. It was a great idea, and Im
thrilled the Directors undersecretary voiced the idea.

MB: He did, really? Who is the undersecretary again?

LC: Why, its Natalya Bodnarenko. Brilliant lady. One of the smartest.

MB: Well, that is very nice, a woman making a difference in this business.

LC: Of course, its great progress. Of course, Natalyas beauty clears most of the
complications, Directors dont usually turn her down...In fact shes moved up the ranks faster than any male counterpart...

MB: Really?

LC: Oh yes, she moved up in record time. All the Directors simply love her..

MB: Really?

LC: So I hear....
The scene closes and reopens with JB and LC in their lounge, the pair in suits and drinking Scotch.

JB: Lenny, did you say anything to Annie?

LC: No, why?

JB: Well she apparently found out about my great healthcare plan and said it was against the order of nature.

LC: Really?

JB: Yes! And she asked me to promote all my undersecretaries to other branches.

LC: Really?

JB: You dont know anything about it, do you Lenny?

LC: No, Director.

The formatting seems a bit odd, but the rp itself has its funny moments and furthers the character's background a bit.

Good work (h5)
