War Child
This is my imitation of Mona's brilliant "illustrated" script style.
ADAM: *sniff*
BONO: What's the matter, you got a cold?
ADAM: It's my allergies! They've been acting up ever since Edge started collecting all these plants.
BONO: I rather like them. The Venus Fly Trap is interesting.
ADAM: It sings.
BONO: Really?
ADAM: Yeah. *sniff* *blows nose on Bono's sleeve* Man, that's not the worst. The orchids produce so much pollen. My sinuses can't take it. *Blows nose on tablecloth*
LARRY *walks in* *points back at Venus Fly Trap* Who's Seymour?
ADAM: *sniff*
LARRY: What's his problem?
BONO: He's allergic to plant sex.
LARRY: *to Adam* So don't have any, then!
ADAM: It's all Edge's fault. Crazy wanker.
EDGE: I am not crazy! I am rich and brilliant, which makes me "eccentric."
BONO: So eccentric you can't even tie your own shoes.
ADAM: At least he has Dallas do it now. Remember the last time he tried to tie them himself?
EDGE: Oh, you think the sun shines out of your arse?
ADAM: As a matter of fact it does.
EDGE: Besides, how can I find the time to tie my shoes when I'm so busy with my cloning experiments?
BONO: You guys! Can you put a cork in it? I am trying to write a sonnet for Mona! *writes*
"I know it's been so often stated...
But baby when I see you I get elevated..."
Hmmm...
LARRY: Hey guys! Check out my new ball!
EDGE: *falls off chair*
ADAM: THAT must have been expensive
*Larry holds up a Magic 8-Ball*
LARRY: I got it at Toy's R Us!
BONO: Hmmm...Do you think the "R" in the Toys R Us in Russia is forwards?
LARRY: Aren't you supposed to be writing?
BONO: Oh yeah...*writes*
"You've got a hold on my heart and soul
Something something inter-pantal control..."
No, no, that won't do...
LARRY: Go ahead! Ask my ball a question!
EDGE: *falls off of couch*
ADAM: Will Bono ever buy a pair of trousers that can get through a whole show without malfunctioning?
LARRY: *reads 8-ball* "Definitely Not."
MONA: !!!!!!!!
ADAM: Ask it if my allergies will clear up anytime soon. *sniff* *blows nose on the 40-foot lemon.*
EDGE: Oh, that's disgusting.
LARRY: Well that begins to describe it.
EDGE: Good, I've always wanted to begin to describe something.
BONO: How's this:
"Life is incomplete without you
I need someone to clean my loo."
LARRY: *reads 8-ball* "Try again."
ADAM: Will Edge and Bono ever change positions?
EDGE: *falls off coffee table*
ADAM: On stage.
LARRY: "Uncertain."
ADAM: *sniff* *blows nose on hundred-dollar bill*
BONO: Adam! That money is supposed to go to Africa!
EDGE, ADAM, and LARRY: *in unison* *rolling eyes* "Speaking of Third World Debt..."
BONO: Aw...Am I that predicatble?
LARRY: *looks at Magic 8-Ball* "My sources say Yes."
BONO: *falls off stool*
ADAM: Bwahaha! Looks like Edge is rubbing off on you.
EDGE: Mostly while he's asleep.
LARRY: What did you say?
EDGE: Huh? Nothing...
BONO: Okay how about this:
"In this moment I am stuck
When I see you I just wanna..."
ADAM: *blows nose on Magic 8-ball*
EDGE: *falls off television set*
