Echo
War Child
*Animatronic Edge carries the Christmas tree into the house.*
ECHO: Just set it down anywhere and help me get these decorations down from the attic.
*Animatronic Edge sets the tree down, next to a heater vent.*
ECHO: Edge, can you bring me the...oh, sweetie, no! You can't put the tree next to the heat like that, it's dangerous! Go move it. (She goes back down the hall.)
*Animatronic Edge looks around for a place to set the tree. There's no room by the couch, no space in front of the television. He shrugs and sets it down by where Bono is standing.*
ECHO: (Returns) Edge! I told you not to put it next to a heat source! *sigh* Bono, do me a favor and string these lights up.
*Meanwhile, Larry is tacking up the wreath on the front door. He looks at the box of thumbtacks...then looks down at his buttonless shirt....then at the thumbtacks....then at his buttonless shirt...*
LARRY: This is just crazy enough to work...
*He picks up a tack and sticks it through the buttonhole.*
LARRY: OW! Ow ow ow ow ow.
*Six hundred women jump on Larry and offer to kiss it and make it better.*
BONO: Um...can someone help me? I seem to be....stuck...here...
ECHO: Bono! I asked you to put those lights up exactly... (checks watch) two minutes and thirty-seven seconds ago! How in that time could you possibly have found yourself able to completely entangle yourself in three strings of Christmas lights?!
BONO: Well, it wasn't EASY...
*Animatronic Edge takes a glittering star from the box of ornaments and places it atop Bono's head.*
ECHO: No, sweetie, the star goes on the TREE...
LARRY: I don't know...I think Animatronic Edge has a point. (He plugs the Christmas lights in.) Wow! Hey Bono, can you hold still like that for the next five or six weeks? You know, just until all your needles start to fall off and we have to tie you to the roof of the car and take you to the city dump...
ECHO: *sigh* Larry, go check and see if there's anything left in the car. We're missing the Christmas balls and you have to put them on the tree first.
*Larry goes out to the car and retrieves the box of ornaments. He finds there's no room to set anything down.*
LARRY: I'm gonna need a place to put my bal--
*He eyes Larry Mullen's Pop Angel, Mullen Girl, and Mona suspiciously.*
LARRY: Oh no you don't. I'll be damned if I'm gonna finish that sentence.
BONO: Hey, um, can someone untangle me here?
ECHO: Are you kidding? Do you know how long Mona over there has waited to see you tied up? Mona, honey, can you not drool so much, I just shampooed the carpet.
*Larry comes in the house bearing a huge Christmas turkey.*
LARRY: I feel like I should be saying something right now...
*Larry Mullen's Pop Angel, Mullen Girl, and Mona crouch at Larry's feet, salivating.*
LARRY: Wow, I'm really at a loss for words...hmm...
BONO: Help? Someone? Anyone? Um, Animatronic Edge's kitten is over here chewing on the wire!!
*Animatronic Edge comes racing in to retrieve the naughty kitten.*
BONO: Oh thank God you're here. Can you untie me?
*Animtronic Edge looks at Bono curiously. He holds the kitten out, and it licks Bono's face.*
MONA: (To Mullen Girl) WHat I wouldn't give for a piece of the kitten's action.
BONO: Oh, man, now I'm tied up in Christmas lights AND I smell like cat breath...
