[Kevin Nauta]

Colin:  I bet you're
all wondering how I got invited to Warner Edison's house tonight, aren't you?
Lynda:  Well
actually...
Colin:  (excitedly) I
could hardly believe it myself! Fifty-eight shops he's got, and four pubs. This
guy could buy Scotland as a tax loss! I'd had a bit of business with him, get a
bit of advertising from him, and he invites *me* over to his house to discuss
*my* future. I mean, wow, right?
Lynda:  And you're on
your way there now, yeah?
Colin:  Yeah! Just
thought I'd stop off for a pep talk! He's a formal kind of a guy, you know.
Dead serious, no sense of humor. I don't mind telling you, I'm as nervous as
anything! I'm uptight; I've got the jitters... I hardly know what I'm doing!
Does it show?
 
They look at him. 
 
Lynda:  Well...
Spike:  A bit, yeah.
Colin:  Really? How?
Spike:  Well, it's
kind of hard to pin down, exactly.
Colin:  I know what it
is. It's my mother!
Kenny:  (disbelieving)
Your mother?
Colin:  Crazy woman! I
told her, I told her I was meeting Warner Edison tonight. I told her it was the
single most important day of my whole life! But it's my little sister's
birthday party, and do you know what she makes me do? Do you know what she
makes me do just to entertain the little brat?!
Lynda:  She made you
dress up as a rabbit?
Colin:  Exactly! I
mean, no wonder I'm still... How did you know?
Lynda:  I had a few
pointers.
Colin:  No, really -
that's amazing. Just one look at me and you guessed I was dressed as a rabbit.
Lynda:  Look, Colin.
You're obviously kind of worked up, on edge. I mean, you're all excited and you
don't quite know which end is up. Do you know what I'm saying? The point is, I
just think that on your way here from the party there might have been something
you forgot to do. 
 
She takes hold of the rabbit ears attached to the costume
and pulls them down over his face. He lifts the rabbit nose and looks at it. 
 
Colin:  My life is
over.
