Title: A Night Like Any Other (Almost) Part 2.


(Darkness)

Faded voices can be heard.

Voice 1: Be careful, don't let her head bump into the tiger.

Voice 2: I AM being careful.

Voice 1: Here. Put her on this couch.

Voice 2: I'm not big on that couch much. How about this one?

Voice 1: What's wrong with this one?

Voice 2: Nothin'. Your mum gave it to us.

Voice 3: Aw, man. Now there's two of them. With mom gone...

Voice 4: Shut up, dork!

(Softness envelopes your entire body while something cold is felt on your face)

Voice 1: Hi, Cleo. We're gonna have to change those dinner plans....Uh-huh....I knew you'd understand....I'll call you tomorrow.

(You hear a phone hanging up as you begin to open your eyes. Everything is blury. All you see is HAIR...LOTS OF HAIR)

Hugh Jackman: Mornin' sunshine.

You: (Blink)

Deborah Lee Furness: (Walking into room) Honey, are you OK? You had a nasty fall out there. Hugh, I told you we should have gotten a gate.

You: (Blink)

Wolverine: She's fine. Back off, lady!

Cyclops: I have to pee.

Hugh Jackman: (Insert your name here), are you able to sit up?

You: (At the mention of your own name, you are quite awake now) You know my name?

Hugh Jackman: Well, you talk in your sleep, kiddo. And I must admit, I'm quite amazed at all the things you were doing to my chest in that dream of yours.

You: Kill me now.

Hugh Jackman: And some of that other stuff? Let's just say you gave Deb quite a few ideas. Neither one of us are sure about the 'leg behind the head' bit though.

You: (Helpless. BUT, since you're helpless, you have NOTHING to lose by saying...)What? No leg behind the head? Surely Deb can do that???

Deborah Lee Furness: Honey, I'm not as young as I used to be. (Pausing to reflect) Nope, couldn't do it even then.

Hugh Jackman: (Laughing openly)

Wolverine: Yeah, mom. I always meant to tell ya that ya talked a lot in your sleep.

Cyclops: What's Felati.....

Deborah Lee Furness: Sweatheart, didn't you say you had to pee?

Cyclops: Uh-huh.

(Deborah moves across the room and takes Cyclops by the hand and takes him out of the room to what you are assuming is the long hallway leading to the restroom)

Wolverine: (Shaking heads) Kids.

Hugh Jackman: Now, that we're, (Looks at Wolverine) semi-alone. I take it you're a fan?

You: (Trying to be suave) Well, of course. My son here likes the 'X- Men'.

Wolverine: HA!!! I wanted to be a Power Puff girl!!!

Hugh Jackman: (Raising eyebrow)

You: (Wishing for death)

Hugh Jackman: (Moves across the room to where Wolverine is standing and kneels down in front of him)

You: (Thanking the Lord for making leather)

Hugh Jackman: (To Wolverine)What was that?

Wolverine: Listen, bub. Get outta my face before I pounce you into eternity.

Hugh Jackman: (Getting into Logan's character right about now) How old are you kid?

Wolverine: 7.

Hugh Jackman: 7 going on 30.

Wolverine: I may be 7, but I can kick your....

You: HEY!!!

Hugh Jackman: (Growls)

Wolverine: Nevermind. I think I have to pee now.


Alone at last...
