On the small TV you see: Gerik smiles at the camera,
looking slightly over the crowd and then back to the
camera, "Hello, I'm Gerik Phillips and welcome to the
first episode of the Gerik Phillips show." placing
bothing of his hands behind his back, he says, "On
each show we will be interviewing people from
outlandish or just outright strange backgrounds for
your entertainment." bringing his right hand out from
behind his back, Gerik motions towards the stage,
"today we have two guests who are certainly in that
category."
On the small TV you see: The crowd goes wild with
hoots, whistles, and cat-calls.
On the small TV you see: Putting his hand back behind
his back Gerik says, "Our first guest today is Mr
Ferdinan Reich, leader of the Church of Eternal
Life-giving Light"
On the small TV you see: Someone in the audience
shouts loudly, "LOOSER!!"
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan walks in from the
west.
On the small TV you see: A technician slips in
discretely behind Gerik and quietly tucks a small
device in the back of his pants before feeding a mini
earpiece up to his ear. Done with that he scurries
back off behind the set.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan walks into the room
slowly, smiling happily, taking a seat on the stage.
On the small TV you see: Gerik walks up to the front
of the crowd, and nods to Ferdinan, looking down at
his cue cards, "Could you please explain to our
viewers, who you are and what you do Mr. Riech?"
On the small TV you see: The crowd falls back into
their hushed mumblings…
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan sways lightly, "Sure
thing man, no problem...I'm his Grace of the Light,
Ferdinan Riech, high spiritual leader of the Church of
Eternal Light."
On the small TV you see: The crowd momentairlly erupts
into hoots and jeers before settling down again.
On the small TV you see: Someone at the back shouts,
"FREAK" just as everyone falls quiet.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan blinks lightly at
the crowd, smiling a toothy grin.
On the small TV you see: Gerik brings his hand up to
his chin and says, "And -what- exactly does the church
do? apart from take drugs and go on rampages when they
don't have said drugs of course that is."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan looks about startled
at the question, "Well, like, dude, we totally help
people get spiritually complete."
On the small TV you see: The crowd disolves into peals
of laughter!
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan shivers as the box
on his hip hums and clicks lightly,
"Ohhh...yeah....that's the shit....Yeah, we've helped
thousands to enlightenment."
On the small TV you see: The same heckler in the back
of the crowd shouts, "GET A LIFE!"
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan looks up to the
back, eyes suddenly narrowing, "Dude, your bad
karmatic light is choking my buzz."
On the small TV you see: Gerik nods to Ferdinan and
then smiles slightly at the crowd, "I think it's time
for our second guest." looking over toward the door he
says, "Our next guest is a Mr Shin Yun Tzu, leader of
the Momijiba."
On the small TV you see: Shinn walks in from the west.
On the small TV you see: A pen flies through the air
and hits Ferdinan on the side of the head.
On the small TV you see: Shinn strides into the room,
sitting on the stage.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan grunts angrily,
"Fuckers...."
On the small TV you see: Gerik steps slightly towards
the back of the crowd looking at Shinn and then
nodding, "I'm sure you'll find the chairs more
comfortable, but could you please explain to our
viewers who you are and what you do?"
On the small TV you see: The crowd erupts in a roar of
excitement, ooohing at the outburst.
On the small TV you see: Shinn nods lightly, "I am the
head of the Momijiba, a group dedicated to helping
people find contentment and joy in the simple things
of life."
On the small TV you see: Shinn says, "Be it working a
simple job or task, or the joy of self sacrafice."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan snickers.
On the small TV you see: Gerik nods to Shinn, "Self
Sacrifice being the brainwashing of people and using
children for slave labour to make cheap handbags
maybe."
On the small TV you see: A petite blonde rushes across
the stage, pealing her t-shirt off and pausing to
dance topless in the middle of the stage for a moment
before the musclebound security guys manhandle her out
of camera-shot.
On the small TV you see: Shinn [to Gerik]: If you
choose to look at it that way, you are foolish…..
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan exclaims, "oh yeah
baby!"
On the small TV you see: Shinn sighs loudly.
On the small TV you see: The crowd goes wild,
protesting the removal of the blonde, whistling and
screaming disapproval at the security guys.
On the small TV you see: Gerik grins at the stage and
then say to Shinn, "Ok let's assume I am actually
foolish, please explain how your group is any better
then the Church, and why you shouldn't just be
resigned to being called a slavedriver."
On the small TV you see: Shinn looks a little offened,
"Well, obviously our members serve a purpose, we don't
sit about stoned all day long, wasting resources in
this fair city. The members do everything of thier own
will, none are forced into working for the cause. All
the profits cycle back to the group whole..."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan snickers, "Sure they
do man, sure they do..."
On the small TV you see: Gerik nods to Shinn, "Which
of course conveniently goes into your bank account."
looking over the crowd he says, "I think it's time for
some questions from the audience."
On the small TV you see: Various people raise their
hands and wave their arms, trying to get Gerik's
attention to ask a question.
On the small TV you see: Gerik walks around to a young
woman in the middle of the crowd he then proceeds to
say, "Please direct your question at whomever you wish
to answer it."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan sways slowly,
grinning at Shinn with an idiotic smile.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan asks, "Eh? Me? Who?
Where am I?"
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan blinks his eyes.
On the small TV you see: Shinn shakes his head
lightly, "Pathetic."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan [to Shinn]: you
talkin to me dude?
On the small TV you see: The young woman smiles
excitedly into the camera, grinning like a loon,
"Hi… uhm, hey, yeah... this is to the first guy.
Uhm, what's the eternal light? Coz like, my bulbs keep
burning out and I want one."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan blinks his eyes.
On the small TV you see: Gerik looks over to Ferdinan
while keeping an eye on the crowd.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan says, "Well, like,
the eternal light is the glow surrounding your spirit
when you are like...traveling the path..."
On the small TV you see: The young woman pats Gerik on
the butt, giggling to her friends.
On the small TV you see: Shinn looks at nothing in
particular, and expresses an arrogant smirk.
On the small TV you see: Gerik grins at the young
woman and walk over to a middle-aged man slightly to
the left and a couple of rows down, "You have a
question for one of the guests?"
On the small TV you see: The man grunts, "Yeah, can we
get rid of these losers and bring the chick with the
tits back?"
On the small TV you see: The crowd roars with
approval.
On the small TV you see: Shinn looks very offended.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan says, "Yeah
man...she had a nice rack...""
On the small TV you see: Shinn [to Ferdinan]: You are
scum, you know that?
On the small TV you see: Someone shouts, "SATANISTS",
over the roar.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan [to Shinn]:
like…blow me...
On the small TV you see: Gerik chuckles softly, "I'm
sure there will be back next week." motioning to
Ferdinan he says, "so you're a pervert too?"
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan says, "Eh? What do
you mean? I just belive in free love...""
On the small TV you see: A fight breaks out somewhere
over to the edge of the studio, just off camera and
people spill forward onto the stage as the jostling
spreads.
On the small TV you see: Two huge security guys lurch
forward and shove Gerik to the side, putting
themselves between him and any potential danger, not
to mention blocking the cameras from seeing him.
On the small TV you see: Shinn watchs the crowd
carefully, a worried look on his face.
On the small TV you see: Gerik drops his cue-cards and
launches into the brawl with a cart-wheel, throwing
people left and right.
On the small TV you see: The security guys look
momentarily stunned before following Gerik into the
fray, beating anyone who getsin the way to the floor
with ham fists.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan claps happily, like
a kid at the circus.
On the small TV you see: A small army of security
staff flood across the stage and into the trouble
corner as chairs and other loose items begin to fly
through the air.
On the small TV you see: Gerik grabs a guy by the
shoulders, kneeing him in the groin before pushing him
out of view of the cameras.
On the small TV you see: Shinn says, "Heathens...you
are scarcely fit to be in my organization."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan says, "Dude...the
colours...the movement...they are all melting...."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan sways in his seat,
blinking rapidly.
On the small TV you see: The trouble gradually
subsides as security quickly puts down any trouble
causers, lowering the trouble to nothing more than a
steady jostle and insult throwing match.
On the small TV you see: From the other edge of the
studio rises a steady chant, "Gerik, Gerik, Gerik!".
On the small TV you see: Gerik walks over to a
middle-aged woman at the front of the crowd, and says
to her, "Feel free to direct your question at one of
the guests."
On the small TV you see: The middle-age woman grabs
Gerik's mic and begins to rant, "You people, I hate
you people, you took my daughters and turned them into
some kind of sexual slaves. You're nothing more than
filthy corrupting pigs."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan [to Shinn]: yeah
man, you guys are totally sick!
On the small TV you see: She continues, "You're filthy
filthy animals.", clinging onto the mic for dear life.
On the small TV you see: Shinn [to Ferdinan]: for the
love of…she was talking to -YOU- meathead...you are
the one with 1000 love slaves.
On the small TV you see: She screeches, "You shut it,
I'M TALKING NOW."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan smiles bright, "yeah
dude, that's right...."
On the small TV you see: Gerik wrests the microphone
from the middle-aged lady and then proceeds to walk
over to the stage, facing the camera.
On the small TV you see: Shinn looks at the woman, "My
apologies madame..."
On the small TV you see: She continues, jabbing her
finger accusingly at the two men on stage, "Where..."
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan looks at nothing in
particular, and expresses an arrogant smirk.
On the small TV you see: Ferdinan says, "Man...ain't
free love the best..."
On the small TV you see: She glares at Gerik for a
moment before continuing to scream and gesticulate,
the sound lost without the mic to help.
On the small TV you see: Gerik bringing the microphone
up to his mouth, speaks into it, "Unfortunately we are
out of time for this show, and remember, it's not
where you come from or where you have been that
matters, it's who you are now."
