Starship Josh - An Interlude

[Onboard the Starship Josh, in a small room, dimly lit by one overheard light shining down into Id's eyes.  Id is tied to a chair.]

Super Ego:  Come on, Id.  Let's just make it easier for all involved.

Id:  Fuck y...

[Ego hits Id.]

Ego:  Sorry, Commander.  I slipped.

S.Ego:  It happens, SubCommander.  So, Id, what do you say?  Are you going to say it, or is Ego going to get clumsy again?

Id:  Fu...

[Smack]

S.Ego:  We can do this all day, Id.  I think you'd...

[The intercom chirps]

[Voice of the Ear]:  Captain?  Our alarm for our Taquitos just went off.

Id:  What?

S.Ego:  Oh, really?  Thank you, Ear.

Id:  Ummm...aren't we going to get that?

Ego:  [Shrugs]  Eh.

Id:  But they'll burn!

S.Ego:  We'll live.

Id:  But it RUINS the taste!

Ego:  Oh, well, it's too bad we're tied up here.  If we were DONE, well, we could just go get them out right now...

Id:  Fine!  Fine, you bastards!  "I will not take joy in the misfortune of others."  Happy?

S.Ego:  I don't know...seemed to lack feeling.  Ego?

Ego:   Definately subpar.  Emotion would be hurt.

Id:  I WILL NOT TAKE JOY IN THE MISFORTUNES OF OTHERS!!!  NOW LET ME GO, YOU ANAL WARTS!

[They cut the ropes.  Id runs out]

Id:  Feet, get moving!  Memory, where's the oven mitt?

Memory:  Dans le droit placard!

Id:  Got it!  [Runs upstairs]

Ego:  Sir, couldn't we have just called up Remorse rather than torturing Id?  It might have been easier.

S.Ego:  Well, we could, but really, where's the fun in that?

Ego:  But...Sir, isn't that finding Joy in the misfortunes of others?

[Pause]

[Smack!]
