'My imaginary playmate squealed on me!'

To Be/Not To Be

I'm trying out for the spring play. You'll be great! Ha! You'll be grateful to be an usher, Meryl Creep. Yeah. The good parts go to real actors. Sigh. The arts are sooo uplifting.

"Page 33, line 4..."

Is this Randy the Love Doctor? Speaking. What ails you, brother? I'm in love with a Russian man. But ever since this Trump-Russia story broke, there's been tension. How do I keep politics from getting in the way of romance? You don't. You incorporate it. Try role play ... wait ... is this Trump? Trump would never call your failed advice "business."

"Honey, it's like a labyrinth in here!"

'Congratulations! You've been selected for 'Total Desert Island Make-over'!'
