Griffith Park, February 4th, 2023

Patrick and Timothy have driven up the hillside into Griffith Park in Los Angeles. It is a cold sunset as they park the SUV in a deserted parking area with an overlook of the famous Hollywood sign.

Patrick is wearing his spy gear; wrap around sunglasses, black velvet leisure suit, and black work boots. Timothy is wearing his usual Bermuda shorts, sandals, and Madras shirt.

Timothy: So what are we doing here?

Patrick: Just wait. It’s big money.

Out the bushes comes a man dressed like he was in the “Men in Black” film. He wears a black suit, white shirt, black tie, dark sunglasses and those gumshoes the government guys all wear.

Patrick rolls down his window as the black suit approaches.

The Man in Black hands Patrick an envelope and leaves.

Timothy: When do the helicopters show up?

Patrick opens the envelope. It contains $50,000 in cash and a CD. Patrick puts the CD into the CD player on the dash.

“I will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor starts to play. The sound level goes down and then comes the voice of Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Boys, I need you to write me a quick speech. Biden is gonna be gone, gone, gone; as gone as an old chicken bone soon. I’m gonna be the bitch in charge.

You boys gotta make me sound Presidential. Not like some pothead from San Francisco.

There is fifty grand in the envelope and more where that came from.

Do it!”

Patrick and Timothy look at each other.

Patrick: That’s a lot of money, a lot of honey.

Timothy: A lot of nights drinking at the Frolic Room.

Patrick: At least we didn’t get shot.

Timothy: Yet.

They both stare at the Hollywood sign and think.

They both say in unison, “I suppose…”

Timothy: You go first.

Patrick:” President Biden is resting comfortably after his health episode, but is no longer able to continue as the President.

Timothy: So as Vice President I will now assume the duties and responsibilities as President though it is a heavy load.

Patrick: I will do my best to do the best that I can best be expected to do.

Timothy: And I will never rest until I pass the best test of the what the rest of you want my best to be the very best.

Patrick: The very best that I can attest will be the best of my highest test.

Timothy: Thank you all and may tomorrow be another day.”

Patrick and Timothy continue gazing at the Hollywood sign.

Timothy: Did you record that?

Patrick: Absolutely, positively. I just hit “send”.

The boys slap hands and say, “Kaching!”

  1. Oh now I know where Ms Harris gets her prose from. I imagine she is stoned most of the time as well. That would explain why she giggles and pees her pants so much
