Well, Chris is a fireman! He like, risks his life all the time to save innocent people! Why are you attacking him?

(Approaching Haley first) Hi. My name is Maggie. I'm trying to sell some of my art prints. They are all my own original anime, and each one has been numbered and signed. Would you like to take a look at them?

(Laughs) Well Ellis, you seem to have a death wish and some strange ambition to die with all of the miserable, lonely people. I would club you to death if you insisted, but it would be an act of love. Everyone has the right to be happy, right?

That almost sounds like a threat, Christian. We all die sometime, and we all die alone. How miserable we are at that moment is anyone's guess. Do you think you're God? Oh, wait. Of course you are. You know who's unhappy and who isn't, who deserves to live and who doesn't because you are a conqueror. You've risen above the unwashed masses and have become a separate deity, all on your own. You know what? I think you're the most miserable of all.

Oh, oh. It looks like there's going to be a fight! Listen, if you don't want to look through my portfolio, I'm moving on. I don't want to get in the middle of this thing.

(Pulling attention away from Ming) Wait Maggie was it? Let me have a look. ( Thinking to self about the opportunity fanning through pictures affords for checking out the lay of the land) So what's going on over there? When I left June Cleaver was blissfully unaware of anything but the Holy Love of her God and Ellis was contradicting himself...I mean why solar panels when you have no hope for the future? And That Fireman was trying on his latest soapbox speach. While insecure guy was cracking jokes...Oh yeah and then, Baywatch...she was making dolphin noises... So, has anything changed. (During this time I am assesing Ming and if she has been intrigued by the rising noise level. Also in my peripheral vision I see a slew of kids climbing the firetruck while the firemen there are glaring at Christian...interesting....Maggie seems alright, the obligatory street artist with something to sell, but, wait a minute, this one is good, and more accurate than most...interesting again) To Maggie: So what is your inspiration?

The day of individual happiness has passed. Join the masses, Ellis. That's what Obama would tell you to do, isn't it? (Laughs)
No, I'm not here to fight. Today is about honoring my brothers, the men who put their lives on the line. Men with courage, men who aren't afraid of death. (Smiles at Ellis) How we all aspire to be firemen. Even myself...I admire the courage I see in others, more than I could ever admire my own accomplishments.
(Stares at Shelly)

It looks like they're settling down. Boy, it looked like things were going to explode any minute. I've met that old guy a few times. I've seen him hanging out in the coffee shop where all the artists hang. He never says anything, but sometimes he buys a print or puts some money in the hat for the musicians, so he's cool. Anyway, my mother unit tells me not to call him old 'cause it's not polite. She sort of got me into drawing. I mean, not really. I always did like to draw, and I liked anime a lot when I was a kid. I've got the entire collection of Ranma 1/2 and all the Hayao Miyazaki movies. When I started drawing anime, my mother unit told me not to copy the other artists, but to create my own style. She started buying me books and putting me in art classes. This is my very first original anime drawing

The inspiration was taken from a book with pictures of Marilyn Monroe in it. Can you believe I'm a fan of Marilyn Monroe? So anyway, here's the portfolio. You can see they're all laminated, all mounted, dated and signed.

Well, it looks like we have one thing in common. I won't argue over the courage and nobility of the firemen. I spent one summer in my youth as a volunteer for wild fires. It took a lot of training before we could even go out, even though that year there was a massive fire in Colorado. It burned thousands of acres. I was dog tired by the time it was put out and my lungs ached for the next two weeks. The Lion's Club put up a beer tent over by the stage for when the concert starts. If I see you over there, I'll buy you a beer.

But what would I know? I am just a fireman and know nothing about courage. Right? (Walks away) Pigeonhole me all you want. I suppose I'm expected to be the All-American hero with the most traditional and boring of values. {Tsk} The man with the picket fence, the one sees a green sky and blue field. Please, let me be sterilized if that ever happens.

(Follows Christian) Oh Christian, don't let those jerks get to you. I respect what you do! They're just jealous, because you're not afraid like they are. But I know the kind of man you are.

(To Herself) No Shelly you do not know what kinda guy Christian is...but I do. Maybe I should keep an eye on him...But (looking towards Ming, now surrounded by kids and family) Oh well she was looking interesting, but...hmmm, which of them is going to perform most unexpectedly?

Well, if you didn't find any drawings you like, i'll be off. The concert's going to start soon and i don't want to miss it. Halloo, Mr. Knight. I've got some new drawings. I went bold the way you told me to do. I think you'll like this one.
