WAAAH!

E: It's a fact of denial.

E: Please give me free gas. 
My mother didn't love me.
I can't pay for it. WAAAH WAAH!

We want to discover: 
Fairy Translator
Can translate what passive aggressive friends say
into what they really mean.

We discuss:
Complete love
K: I don't just love you and let you get bored.
I keep it interesting.
E: Luffly.

We discover:
Hooks
and Hookers!

Around the world (and we never even left the parking lot!)

Thank you, please, thank you.
We discover:
Improv Therapy 

K: It could be anything you wanted it to be.
E: I wish it could be something good to eat.

K's Backroll Dance:
You want me to do what? Is there a buffet?
Sure.
I'll think about it.
Maybe.
Nope.

E's Chik-Chak Dance:
Sure.
No way!

E gives props to purple onions:
K: So, they never let you down.
E: No, they always let me down.
K: But they let you down easy?
E: Over easy.
K: So it grounds the sandwich.
E: oh, it buries it. Underground.

Southern Withdrawal Part 2 (drumsticks)
PRWASA (Please Read with a Southern Accent)

We discover:
Melba Toast

K: Honeychild, I finally found the way to let it go:
I let it go.
Then I take it back.
And then you rip it out of my hands.

Chorus (with callback):
Can I get 'yeah'!
Yeah!
Can I get 'I'll think about it'!
I'll think about it!
Can I get a 'maybe'!
Maybe.
Can I get a 'no way'!
No way!

We discover:
Anti-motivation

1.I know you can do it, yes you can!
2. Well, I'm not so sure.
3. It probably won't work out.
4. Eh, why bother.
5. Yeah! Motivation!

K: I've got roadblocks in my mind.
E: I thought you had roadkill?
K: That too.

K: When something bothers me,
I want to chase it down,
run it over,
and then wear around around my neck
like a nice stole.
Mm-mm-m.

We discover:
Amasink and Jummy Russian lady

We take it to the next level:

Southern withdrawal

E: I'm 100% sure that it's true. Is it?

We are not afraid of leaving and losing what we have.
We are afraid of going through withdrawal.
So we will make it southern withdrawal.

Is this a cult?
Close enough!

K: I got it!
E: Keep it.
K The meeting is the airport!
E: So where are the planes?!
K: They're in the back...
Don't you want to go to the gift shop first?
E: No!!
K: It's duty free. Are you sure?
E: Yes! Where are the planes?!

We discuss:
Exit strategies:

K: I make a promise that if I go to anymore meetings,
I only share as one of the characters.
K's Ultimate goal:
Drive everyone crazy (except E)
and get kicked out.

Questions:
Why am I not feeling the love or the serenity?
Why am I working for free? Again!
Why does this feel so familiar?
How do I keep ending up here? Again!

We discuss:
"Buffet love"

It looks like food but proves otherwise.
It looks good but doesn't taste good.
It tastes good at the beginning but halfway through turns on you.
Emotional equivalent of funnel cake
or rich double double chocolate cheesecake with chocolate sauce.
E: You deserve gourmet love.
K: I know. But why do I want buffet love?
(violins)

We discuss:
"Special love"

K: Why does it need to be "special"?
Is it special like special Ed?
Is it like Mormon love, spread around like butter?
I'm starting to feel less special...
They fattened me up with their special love
and now they are starving me.
E: "We love you in a very special way...
K: ...the same way we will eat you."

We officially declare bankruptcy as a way to start over.
K also decides to file for divorce from her bankrupt self.
Divorce ceremony is discussed:
Happy divorcee will arrive in a hearse drawn carriage.
Twinkies will be served for every course.
Cheese doodles (crunchy and puffed) will also be served.
Glasses of lemon juice to wash it all down.

OMK! They are all faking their serenity!
Working the program means
somebody else thinks I'm working the program
and that the program works
and that's how the program works.
You got that?

E: There's something inherently wrong
about connecting through dysfunction. 

E: Here's my platform,
here's my exit -
it's been fake.

Is this a cult?

K: I have a swiss army knife of tools.
I can open cans with the steps.
E: I can open bears.

Princess Esther the Most of Everything:
God made lines of balance for everything
but he made them invisible.

Supreme Lord Kat took the day off when creating parking lots.

Shirleys have deep discussion on the merits of playing in the sandbox.
Remains unresolved but less mysterious.
And no, it was NOT helpful.

K: OMK!
I was brainwashed
and now I'm getting brainwashed 
to remove the first brainwash;
where does it end?
E: It's true what they say: the laundry never ends.

Deprogram!

E: You're brainwashed.
And I'm hungry.

Discussion:
Retiring program brainwashing.
We mean lingo.
Who said that?

Discussion:
Escaping the program.
We mean leaving the program.

Discussion:
We've been let out of jail and we don't know where to go.
Jail is still inviting us over.
Come in through the side door!
No bodychecks required!

Unmeeting


We discover:
Shirley-I-can-make-this-work
a.k.a.
Shirley-I can-get something-out-of-this
a.k.a
Shirley-there's-a-silver-lining-here

K sits on her head.
E suggests we kick her out of the car.
We do.
With glee.

K suspects Shirley to be previously discovered disloyal cheerleader.
Both are looking seriously disheveled and unkempt.

Shirley-I'm/you're/we're-a-failure
a.k.a.
Shirley-this-will-fail/not-work
a.k.a.
Shirley-this-is-not-worth-it

We call back the first Shirley
and we let them both go at it.

Notes on the Shirleys:
They are truth tellers.
They are disguises.
They cover up other people. And plants. You know who you are.

Snorts!

Dangerous hugs:
the my-hands-are-full-hug
the trap-neuter-release-hug
a.k.a.
the double-squeeze-hug
(includes heavy breathing and sound effects)

Get with the program:
Hi, I'm Jean.
Hi Jean.

Hi, I'm Strung.
Hi Strung.

Hi, I'm Falutin.
Hi Falutin.

Hi, I'm Maintenance.
Hi Maintenance.

Hi, I'm Fidelity.

Hi Class.

Hi, I'm Jack.
Hi Jack.

Hi Per.

Hi, I'm Beam.
Hi Beam.

Yes, you can say hello, too:
H'llo Jean
H'llo Strung
H'llo Maintenance
H'llo Fidelity
H'llo Class

Hi, I'm I-don't-know-who-the-hell-I am.

Plans for a character meeting.
Let's make a  Box-o-Props!

Plans for a character fantasy shopping spree.

Don't forget the 3C's:
I can choke it, I can cheat it, I can crush it
