Scene 1
Enter JimYs and fronzelneekburm and the crowd (Breja and zeogold among them).
fronzelneekburm: Thoust haggle like an old woman! For three keys we had a deal! Three keyes I tested, three I checked, three finest keys I brought to trade! Then thou asks four, then six then eight!
JimYs: I am altering the deal, prey I don't haggle any further!
fronzelneekburm: I shall not trade with thee no more! Thou art a pest, a parasite, on my time you feed like a leech that doctors promise shall bring health but only leaves one drained of strenght as it devours precious blood, so you promise profit, but only leave me weak of effort, drained of time!
JimYs: If thou shalt not give me the keys, mayhap my brother will convince thee!
Enter Jimys2
crowd begins to eat popcorn and chuckle
Jimys2: Hello, friend! With new list of demands... that is, with a new offer I come! I'm sure you'll see, that all your keys are belong to me!
fronzelneekburm: Oh, for fornication's sake. Be both of thee gone, assuredly a block of stone somewhere exists, that could use to be split asunder with thou heads.
Jimys_New appears
crowd laughs out loud
Jimys_New: I am summoned from beyond, to make the an offer new! Though my brain rots away in the ground, my spirit wanders free! No afterlife would have me, and I would have none - they give cats nine lives, and I won't settle for no less! I'll haggle with st. Peter after we're done with you!
fronzelneekburm: You can haggle with the wind, for I shall simply give away the keys!
fronzelneekburm throws the keys to the crowd. The crowd grabs them still laughing, and exits. fronzelneekburm exits too, except for Breja and zeogold. JimYs, Jimys2 and Jimys_New sit on the floor and whimper.
zeogold: I think there is a lesson here, but I can't quite make it out. Methinks it is a puzzle.
Breja: Tis' no puzzle, my lord. The lesson goes like this: they also play who only stand and wait.
Breja exits
zeogold: (after thinking a while) I still would prefer a puzzle.
zeogold exits
