**The scene is that of a talk show set. There are two chairs sitting at a 45o angle facing a coffee table that is set in the middle of what looks like a sound stage. The table is covered in a purple cloth with a white face painted on it with a huge red lipstick smile. The chairs are both made of purple crushed velvet and look as though they were recently taken out of moth balls. Draped beyond the chairs, almost like a curtain on a theatre stage, is a green screen type cloth. From the viewers left walks a curvy, sexy and sultry Harleen. She is dressed in a red and black corset, black and red skirt, black knee high stockings and red leather shoes. Her hair is in twin pony tails, sometimes referred to as pig tails. She has her face done up in the typical white make-up and around her eyes is the black painted domino style mask. She is smiling with her ruby red lips and skipping across the stage. She looks straight out from the stage, as if staring into a camera but looking up. She gives a thumbs up and suddenly a light shines on her... but it isn't just a light it's an image of some sorts. As she turns around to face the green screen, we see that the green screen is now filled with shots of "Green Men" from different sporting event. Most notably from the 2011 Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup Playoffs run. Many images keep flashing on the screen as Harleen decides to take a seat on the chair to the viewers right. She sits with her legs crossed and reached down behind the chair and pulls out a whoopie cushion and lifts the edge of the crushed velvet cushion on the other chair and slides it in. As she finishes that, Jake Jester walks into the view from the same side Harleen came in on. Jake is dressed in purple dress pants, black dress shoes, a green t-shirt that is not a t-shirt that one would normally see on Jake. It has a logo on it that says Green Man Brewery. His usual green hair, white face make up and ruby red lips are done up as we would expect to see.**
Jake: Harley my darling, it looks as though we have everything ready to go. Are we forgetting the special treat?
Harleen: No Puddin' I just finished getting that ready.
Jake: Great, so when is this tart suppose to be here?
Harleen: Any minute now. Shall I get the other thing ready?
Jake: Most of it is set, but yes. Double check everything, this is going to be wonderful.
**A door can be heard opening squeakily and then closing.**
Harleen: Sounds like she's here, I will be back sweet 'ums.
**Harleen leaves in the opposite direction that she came in from. As she exits stage left, (viewers right) in walks a sexy woman in her own right, Jill Franklin. The intrepid reporter looks a tad apprehensive as she approaches Jake. Jill is dressed in a periwinkle blue blouse, black thigh length skirt and carrying her tablet as the reporters of the 21st century normally do. Jake smiles, almost sadistically at her, as she approaches the two chairs and Jake. She extends her hand to Jake and with a sly smile and a bit of hesitation he shakes her hand.**
Jill: What? No joy buzzer?
Jake: While that one is a classic, I go for bigger laughs. The kind that leave you laughing so hard your sides are splitting and you can barely breathe.
**Jake gestures to the chair for Jill to sit as Jake sits down himself in the whoopie cushion free chair. Jill takes a brief look at the images flashing across the screen behind the chairs as she sits down a loud flatulent like sound rings through the place. Jill fumes as she pulls the whoopee cushion out from under the edge of the chairs own cushion. Jake is laughing out loud and that seems almost like a cue for Harleen as she comes strolling in.**
Harleen: What did I miss Puddin'? Sounds like it was a real gas.
**Both Harleen and Jake are now laughing at the pun just made. Jill, meanwhile, is fuming just a little and sits back down graciously and taps her tablet.**
Jill: If you two have had enough laughs...
Jake: One can never have enough laughs missy.
Jill: The name is Jill, not "Missy". Now what say we get down to business here, or shall we just be running old gags all night? It seems that maybe Green Man was right about you being unoriginal.
**At the mentioning of Green Man, and the comment from the most recent interview with Green Man, Jake's smile turns very sinister looking. Harleen gasps silently and stands almost behind Jake's chair off to the side so that she can still get a good look at things.**
Jake: Well then... Jill. Let's get serious, shall we. Let's talk about this Green Man. First of all, I never said he was unoriginal. I never said I was being original. I was influenced by the comic books I was reading while I was under psychiatric care at a facility near my hometown. One of my doctor's left some books around and by reading the books, the graphic novels and the looking at the amazing artwork was very therapeutic for me. Yes, I know there have been many "gimmicks" using the Joker personage. I also know that since the late, great Heath Ledger performed the legendary role in the greatest Batman movie of all time, The Dark Knight, that gimmick has been played over and over again by many. And while I love a good gag and a great laugh, I know exactly when to be serious. Green Man will also know when I am being serious. When I step into that ring and kick his green ass from pillar to post, he will know that the last laugh will be mine as my hand is raised in victory. Much like Frank Millar's portrayal of the Joker, I will be merciless in my pursuit to achieve victory in the ring.
Jill: So what is with all the theatrics... literally.
**Jill waves her hand to the stage they are on, and the screen where images of different Green Men at different sporting events are being shown.**
Jake: What can I say? I do love theatrics. I am glad you also motioned to the screen because I have been doing some research of my own. Green Man has been around a long time that also has basis in comics. Back in 1983 DC Comics had a superhero that was part of the Green Lantern Corps that was called Green Man. Plus going back even further Green Man is an ancient symbol of nature. Where things like "green thumb" comes from. Of course there is the famous Green Men, Sully and Force, who ran the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final in the 2011 Playoffs. Of course that was before Luongo choked in the Finals to give the Boston Bruins the Cup. Green Man has also been used in many movies and books. So the long and short of it is that there are just as many examples of green men as there are Joker wannabes out there. Am I a wannabe? Some might call me that, in fact, I would say most of the people here are going to call me that. That will get old fast...
Jill: Sorry to cut you off Jake, but I would like to ask about the shirt you are wearing.
Jake: Yes. The Green Man Brewery Company is an Australian brewery that makes some decent beer. However, being from Canada I still think the best beer is made there. Just thought it was appropriate to wear considering Green Man was stating how fake I am. He paid $40 for a suit... maybe a little more for shipping. So while I may be just some guy who has used his role-play therapy to parlay it into a career... He's just as delusional as I was if he thinks for one minute that it means I am not ready to step into the ring and kick his ass.
Jill: Harleen, *Harleen jumps a bit at being addressed to by Jill* what do you think of this situation?
**Jake takes hold of Harleen's hand as she comes to sit in his lap.**
Harleen: Mr. J was a patient of mine at one point. One of my colleagues is the one who introduced him to the escapism of comics. That all being said... Mr. J knows a lot more than he lets on to the public. This Green Man put words into Mr. J's mouth and makes himself appear to be more than he truly is.
Jake: To top it all off, his biggest fans seem to be stoners. Not that I personally have any problems with those who like to partake of smoking a little weed. One of my favourite directors and podcasters is a bit of a stoner. All I am saying is that this Green Man really has no right or where with all to be telling me who and what I am. Nothing will prevent me from defeating him at the first TWF show, nor will he be able to stop me from climbing to the top of this company and single handedly making Rizzo a very rich man.
Jill: Rizzo is already rich.
**Harleen rolls her eyes.**
Harleen: (sarcastically) RICHER man. Sheesh lady.
**Jake smiles and even playfully smacks Harleen's bottom**
Jake: That is right Harley. Rizzo knew what he was doing when he signed me. So Green Man can go on and on about how unoriginal I am all he wants. If that's the best he's got... he better prepare those dance moves, because after I am through with him... dancing may be his only career option left.
**Harleen scoots off Jake's lap and turns to plant a kiss on his cheek. Jake reaches down beside the chair, behind for the viewer. Harleen smiles and then Jake glances over at Jill as he looks to be pulling on something.**
Jake: Oh Jill, before you leave.
**Jill sets her tablet down on the coffee table as she goes to stand up. She pauses when Jake addresses her.**
Jill: Yes.
Jake: Have you ever seen the movie Flashdance?
Jill: Yes.
Jake: Did it make you all wet?
Jill: Huh?
**Jake pulls on something to the side and behind the chair. Jill looks shocked and is unable to move in time. A huge bucket of water is dumped on her and the chair she was trying to get out of.**
Jake: HAHAHAHA!!!
Harleen: HAHAHA!!!
Jill: You son of a ...
**Scene goes black**
