it's a kind of magic
A dream in three acts, as promised to Dom.
So, last night I had this totally wacky (and completely fictional) dream about pop music and laser shows.
Act One
(Maria stands in the astronomy exhibit in the Science, awaiting entrance to the 5:30 presentation of "Laser Magic" She busies herself by calculating her weight on Jupiter and singing "Space Oddity")
Maria (singing): Ground control to Major Tom. . .
(Suddenly, Dom approaches, followed by Dr. B and Drew)
Maria (still singing, beautifully, I might add): . . .tell my wife I love her very much (adding her own back-up). . .she knooooooowwws. . .
Dr. B: What are you doing down here, Maria? Aren't you supposed to be in the box office assisting people with parking? What if someone lost his ticket? What if they have forgotten their membership card and need a chaser ticket? My God, woman, have you no sense of decency?
Dom: C'mon, man, you just gotta go with the flow, kid. Plus you have, like, six other cashiers down there.
Maria: Yeah, and I felt that in order to do the very best job possible, I needed to be informed about all the shows we offer here at the Science.
Drew: I'm going home and going to bed.
Maria: Dude, it's, like, 5:30.
Drew: Werd.
Maria: The Milky Way exhibit looks like a giant sneeze.
Dr. B: Oh, man, that is a giant sneeze. (On the radio) Box Office to Unicco, there is a Code Booger in the Milky Way exhibit.
Maria (to Dom): Now's our chance to get away. Celine Dion waits for no man!
Act Two
(Dom and Maria, having escaped the clutches of Dr. B settle in to watch "Laser Magic")
Maria: This show is lame. Shania Twain is stupid. You can't sing country if you come from Canada. Alls she knows about are moose and mounties and maple leafs.
Dom: Dude, she's totally hawt, though. I would wreck her.
Maria: You're gross.
Laser Kids Chorus: Shhhhhhh!
Maria: Shhh yourself! Who gets high to watch a laser show featuring Matchbox 20? Amateurs.
Laser Kids Chorus: We are angry! Matchbox 20 is totally hardcore!
(A fight ensues. Dom and Maria must fight off the angry and incredibly lame Laser Kids)
Act Three
(Celine Dion arrives to break up the fight)
Maria: Dude, it's Celine Dion.
Dom: Man, she can't fight. What a pansy.
(Celine Dion proceeds to kick everyone's ass while singing "My Heart Will Go On" A capella).
Dom: Man, Celine Dion totally just kicked my ass.
Maria: Not mine, for I truly believe in "Laser Magic."
End.
