Ass Backwards Page #2

pageant days? There she is.

She's on the page.

Yes, of course. I want you to know that

both of you have been in my prayers all

these years. Coming in dead

last couldn't have been easy.

Well, you know, that was then, and this is now.

So, I'd say we're doing pretty

good. Not too shabby.

Now, if we can let the

paying customers in, shall we? Yes, we should.

Guys, keep a single file,

okay? She does not have

all day, so, in and out.

Have your books ready. I'm

actually headed to Neptune next weekend.

They asked me to... compete

in the anniversary pageant?

Yeah, we got an invite, too. No,

they asked me to be a celebrity judge.

Can you even stand it? What have the two

of you been up to since the circuit?

[ Sighing ] Oh, God. Chloe, I know

for sure you haven't been doing anything

creative. Talent was never

really your thing, was it?

You know what, actually, Laurel?

Chloe's been performing every

single night for crowds of about 500-plus.

Well, you do.

Wow! That's really surprising.

What about you, Kate?

If times serve me, you weren't the

brightest bulb in the light shop.

Okay, Kate works in the medical profession now.

Got to have big-time brains for

that. What do you specialize in?

You know, I don't have a

medical degree, per se...

she's an egg donor. Yeah.

But she's got big dreams of managing other

girls' eggs when she inevitably ages out of the

field. That's long-term stuff,

but it's gonna be exciting.

I love the way the two of you aren't

embarrassed about where you are in life.

Thank you. Listen. If

you two need any help from

Laurel's ladies, you'd

certainly qualify. So...

Bye, Cheryl. Bye, faith.

Thank you.

I don't think Laurel got the full picture

of where we are. How could she have?

She only got a snapshot. I mean, I

don't want to go back to the pageant.

No, thanks, right? The only reason I

could even think of to go is to just get

some much-needed vacation time for you and me.

Yeah, we barely get to see

each other. I mean, look.

We don't need to go back for

ourselves. That's clear. I

mean, we could go back for

the other girls, you know? Sort

of raise the bar, so to speak?

Elevate the proceedings? Yeah.

I mean, not that it matters.

'Cause it doesn't. Okay,

but if we did go back there...

Both:
We would win. [ Introduction

to aha's "take on me" plays ]

[ Horn honking ]

? Take on me [ Cd skipping

] ? take on me ? take on me

? take on me ? take me on-on-on-on-on

? I'll be-be-be-be-be gone

in a day or two-two-two-two-two-two

two-two-two-two-two ?

Bye-bye, Manhattan!

Until we meet again!

You know, it's great to be completely untethered.

Unfettered, with only our

most prized possessions on our backs.
