Interview Five:
Fall-From-Grace
She will be mine! Oh yes, she will be mine.
Becker: Hey we have Fall-From-Grace! Wow! Oh, this is the Torment Interviews, yadda-yadda-yadda. But enough about the site, let’s talk about Grace. Gee-whiz Grace, it sure is great to have you here. I can call you “Grace” can’t I?
Grace: Sure, I supp- Becker: Great! I just knew we were going to get along. Oh, sure my producer had his doubts, and so did the sound-guys, and the repair crew and the cafeteria staff. But I knew we were going to connect! There’s sort of a chemistry in the air. Can you feel the chemistry, Grace? Grace: Actually-- Becker: I knew it! We’re twin souls Grace! Separated by time and distance finally brought together like two giant … things that have been separated but now aren’t. I can tell from your nervous fidgeting that you feel the same way Grace, and that warms my heart. Here, I’ve written a poem, a love poem really, and I’d like you to hear it. Grace: Oh God. Becker: OK, here it goes: |
G is for the Gladness she does bring R is for her Radiance that makes my heart sing A is for the Amore that I have for her C is for a Cat that goes "purr" (I had sort of a hard time with that rhyme Grace, I hope you don’t mind) E is for her Ears which are so pretty If Grace would go out with me, that would be nifty

Grace: Please stop.
Becker: Yes! We should stop. Stop playing these games, that is! We should start our lives together right now! Oh Grace, I knew you were the one for me! Can I see you Friday? Grace: Um, I’m washing my hair Friday. Becker: Oh. Well, how about Saturday? Grace: I’m conditioning my hair Saturday. Becker: I totally understand. Sunday? Grace: Drying my hair. Look, why don’t I just call you? Becker: Fantastic! This is a dream come true! When can I expect your call? Grace: Oh, eventually. Hey aren’t we out of time? I have to go ... somewhere. Anywhere. Becker: Well, drat. You’re right. Stay tuned next week when I’ll be talking to someone else, unless I’ve run off with my little love blossom here! Grace: If Guido Henkel ever gets this, let him know he owes me for this "interview" big-time. |
