Prom Week at Lawn Ornament High. - Part I
Category: Romance and Relationships
Setting: Fort Lauderdale. A tacky Suburban home, littered with lawn ornaments.
A PLASTIC FLAMINGO is cooling off near one of those colorful pinwheels. A bashful GARDEN GNOME shuffles over to the Flamingo.
GARDEN GNOME: Hey Barry, how's it going? You don't look so good.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: I don't feel so fucking good Lance. That motherless cunt sprayed the lawn with pesticide again and I'm on my last leg here. I mean shit, if this lawn were any greener the neighbors could play billiards on it.
GARDEN GNOME: Are you gonna be alright for the prom?
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Shit yeah. The CERAMIC FROG by the steps is gonna' hook me up with some Demerol. I won't be feeling shit come prom. Correction! I won't be feeling shit except for my beak breakin off a piece of dat' ass.
The Flamingo points to the GIRL BENDING OVER TO PICK FLOWERS THUS EXPOSING HER UNDERWEAR lawn ornament.
GARDEN GNOME: I can't believe you got her to go out with you. She is fine!
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: She is also a Grade-A skeezer of the first degree. Yesterday morning, right after the sprinklers went on, me and the ceramic frog ran a downtown train on her.
GARDEN GNOME: No Way!
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Yes way! She won't be pickin' flowers right for atleast a week. Anyway, what can I do you for Lance? 6th period is about to start.
GARDEN GNOME: I..I..guess I just wanted to ask your opinion..or...your help, I guess in asking out....errr...
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Jesus Christ, spit it the fuck out already shorty!
GARDEN GNOME: I want to ask the VIRGIN MARY STATUE to the prom.
All lawn activity stops and most every ornament begins to laugh hysterically.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Are you shitting me? You want to ask out the Virgin Mary Statue?
GARDEN GNOME: Not a good idea?
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Uhhhh. Well, first of all she is a hot piece of ass and you are a fucking gnome. Plus dude, what do you want to take her for? I mean you want some action on prom night, right?
GARDEN GNOME: Yeah.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Well, the Virgin Mary is a bit of a prude dude.
GARDEN GNOME: I know. The gnome near the large bush told me she's a virgin. Won't it be great if I can be the first guy on the lawn to tap that?
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: You are dreaming dude. Even the ceramic frog couldn't bag that shit and he cruises around in one of those sweet new lawnmowers with the 20 inch blades.
GARDEN GNOME: Well I know the Virgin Mary and I don't think she's impressed with those sorts of things.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you dude. That Virgin Mary statue may be a nice gal but she's out of your league gnome!
GARDEN GNOME: (head down, sulking) I know she is Barry but I can't get her out of my little gnome head. I suppose you're right though. I'll just go solo with Kurt.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Kurt? First of all Kurt doesn't own any clothes. He just stands there and pees in that damn fountain all day long. You go with Kurt and people will start talking. Gabeesh? You really want to take out the Virgin Mary Statue huh?
The Garden Gnome nods his little head causing his cap to fold over his little gnome eye.
PLASTIC FLAMINGO: Then let me give you some tips. First of all, get rid of that damn satchel. You haven't had gold in that thing for years and it smells. Second of all you might want to shave. You are the only one in school with a 2 foot white beard. You look older than my guidance counselor. Next, you may want to lay of that pipe for awhile. I doubt the Virgin Mary's a smoker dude.
GARDEN GNOME: Geez! Thanks Barry! I'll do just that. I can't wait to ask her!
The plastic flamingo shakes his head. The ceramic frog hops into frame.
CERAMIC FROG: You want some zanny bars or oxycontin kid? They might help you build up some courage to ask that frigid bitch out.
GARDEN GNOME: No thanks Chazz and don't call her a bitch. She's immaculate.
CERAMIC FROG: Whatever kid.
The Gnome shuffles away with a new found confidence. The ceramic frog and the flamingo spark up a fat one and laugh at the gnome's audacity.
