He's currently dressed as the impressive, glorious image of a young Soviet soldier who is defeating their capitalist and Nazi enemies and leading the loyal workers to victory.]Okay, so, I stab this Nazi guy, then kick the American guy in tha face, then I

Lucky. I wanna be in films! 'stead, I gotta invent borin' ol' cold fusion.

[freakinblur]

Cold fusion? Damn, pally, good luck with that! Might wanna ask around fer some 'a the more sciencey guys in town fer help on that.

Yeah, I mean, it ain't great, don't get me wrong. Apparently I gotta crank out like 3 'a these things a day! I'm friggin' beat already. An' they're, like, all the same so I don't even know what the point of it is.

[numanstan]

It's got somethin' to do with ice cubes and brain cells. I don't even know, mate.

Still, easier than goin' to the moon or havin' babies, yeah?

[freakinblur]

Beats tha hell outta me.

Moon? Babies? Don't tell me that's what other people got? They only got a few days ta do that in, too?

[mokorilove]

This is all going to drive me crazy! And I thought the 50's clothes were bad...

[freakinblur]

Seriously, man, the clothes they gave me don't even fit! The pants musta been made fer a Heavy, I swear ta Christ.

[mokkori_love]

And all the mokkori ladies!! They're all dressed in that awful fabric--I know this is crazy, but I miss the 50's America clothes!!

[freakinblur]

Ha! I know, right? Wait till ya here everyone in town bellyachin' about how they miss Mayfield. What a joke that'll be!

[At home]

I have to drive tractors.

[freakinblur]

The hell? Tractors? You? What were they thinkin'?

[miss_enma_ai]

I don't know.

.....

I don't think I can drive a tractor and they say I have to drive three of them by Friiday

[freakinblur]

Drive 3 by Friday. What the hell does that even mean? This has ta be tha weirdest crap they've pulled yet.

[bawlingforsoup]

I-I have to m-move b-bricks... B-By Tuesday. N-No wheelbarrow s-since I q-questioned them... A-And as l-long as y-you keep nose out of t-trouble it will be b-breeze. Have d-done this before.

[freakinblur]

You like, Russian 'r somethin'? Damn, Mayfield musta been like a picnic for ya compared ta all this. So this is what it's really like over there? Geez.

[bawlingforsoup]

Latvian. [BITTER. RUSSIAN HOW DARE HE THIS IS AN EIGHTY-ONE HONDA--] I-Is not Russian--Will n-never be Russian. I-I live with M-Mister Russia b-back home... A-And Mayfield w-was l-little dream.

[freakinblur]

Latvian? Well, not Russian is good. Ya think that fat Russia bastard's got somethin' ta do with this? Cuz I will seriously break his face in right now if he does.

[glowing_science]

I didn't realize those kinds of jobs were even available. Don't let the movie star fame go to your head.

I'm an investigator.

[freakinblur]

Aintcha gonna ask for my autograph?

Investigator? Of what?

[glowing_science]

Only if you don't end up doing something to ruin your career. It's only worth something as long as you're still popular, you know.

I'm supposed to look into reports of subversive activity. I guess that means I'm like a KGB agent or something.

[freakinblur]

You kiddin'? My flicks will be popular forever!

Oh man, that sucks. Well make sure ya put a good word in fer ol' Scout, okay? [He laughs.]
