LET THE FAILURE HAPPEN: REST

Liza: they fired me. Safeway fired me.

me: what happened?

Liza: i was taking too-long breaks. i wasn't doing anything nefarious, i was simply sleeping!!! i've been EXHAUSTED for a long time now.

me: yeah i've noticed, you're always too tired to scandal with me. who did it?

Liza: Daddy Warbucks the bald bastard. he scooted me into his office, sat me down, pointed his dirty finger in my face and told my eyes, "you can't cheat your way through life, you little fofo."

me: what are you gonna do now? work at Lucky?

Liza: see this is what offends me. everyone is telling me to walk a block to Lucky, it's a lateral move. 

me: no it's easier, WAY LESS people there, it's more chill, it's not corporate like Safeway which is a warehouse chain. Lucky is mom-and-pop if your uncle's in jail.

Liza: yeah but four people work there, they're not hiring. besides, who says the only thing i know how to do is fucking groceries!!! look i get it, i know Ericka over there at Lucky, she's nice, she's the fat me. but what if i want to skydive?

me: i wanna make love to you in the half-frozen aisle / half-pet food section lane at Lucky.

Ericka: do you like all the Christmas decorations put up around the store? they're all from my home.

me: but it's only Halloween.

Ericka: bent tin Santa Clauses with drunk faces and pink mini Christmas trees...

Johnny Rotten: sex is overrated. why is sex the sum of all human experience? when you're a punk you recognize that you're not gonna have sex. that's why you dye your hair green, put a chain in your nose, and wear a dirty jacket. because society sucks.

50 years later...

Amelia Earhart: feel better about getting saved?

Fred Noonan: i guess.

Amelia: think about all the stuff we got to do lo these 50 years because we got saved instead of turning into isle skeletons like Gilligan.

Fred: i don't know, i can't think of anything. it's all a blur.

Amelia: okay FEEL about the stuff we got to do. for instance right now we're seeing a movie together in a theater.

Fred: i knew theaters would last. their old-timey charm will never go out of fashion. do we have grandkids?...

Amelia: ...

Fred: okay, we get to see Airplane. a movie that makes fun of our profession.

Amelia: and near-death experience. that was fucking funny!!! but there's a film we get to watch that REALLY makes our rescue worth it...

potato croquette: not as good as a McDonald's hash brown when it comes to anime food.

The Thing: same flat yellow snowplows with the headlights on Antarctica that were on the moon in 2001: A Space Odyssey...

Oakland flag: clean design, man. taken from the streets. literate graffiti. cool.

Coca-Cola case: why 24 cans? why not 28 cans, one for each day of the month? because it's 24/7, drink Coke 24 hours a day 7 days a week... 

Oikos yogurt: smells like the YMCA.

Small Classic: this year's World Series. or a hamburger from Wendy's...

Bronson Pinchot: Balki was Robin Williams as Mork with a Greek accent...

Pepto-Bismol: a must at prom. chug a bottle of this, not beer.

Night of the Creeps: live-action Mr. Pickles...

Amelia Earhart: the film is Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie. am i right or am i right. that warm '80s anime hand-drawn magic.

Fred Noonan: yeah. flying in sumptuous outer space. navigating a grand space opera. may all planes become flying planes that fly in outer space.

Amelia: that is the endpoint of all pilots: the next galaxy over...

Amelia: oh great, are you seeing the end of this? Lady Armaroid and Cobra lament they have to end because the space adventure has to end because there's a limited number of episodes. combined with the eternity of the flatness of space this is all very morbid with existentialism.

Fred: will the two of us end?

Amelia: not if we keep flying...
