A Van (a comedy)

Listen to “Somebody I Used To Know” by Gotye.

The Illuminati in a minivan: Yes! There are no real lines in the universe.

Lacey: *Thinks*

Then why do razors cut?

The Illuminati: *Thinks*

3:03

The Illuminati (still all in the van): *Thinks*

The song ends.

Listen to “Magic Tree And I Let Myself Go” by Craig Armstrong.

Lacey: So?

1:00

The Illuminati: *Thinks*

1:24

The Illuminati: Umm…-

1:46

The Illuminati: *Thinks*

2:28

The Illuminati: FINE!

But what do you mean!??

3:00

Lacey: *Thinks*

3:23

Lacey: *Thinks*

3:42

Lacey: HOLD ON! I’ll think of it.

4:02

The Illuminati: Okay.

Can you get us out of this van?

4:31

Lacey: I’m not sure it’s safe.

4:50

The Illuminati: *Begins to cry.*

The song ends.

Lacey: You’ll have to just trust God, and you’ll be fine.

Listen to “Hotel Sayre” by Craig Armstrong.

The Illuminati: Who’s mad at us for lying about Scott and Zelda?

God: Me.

1:02

The Illuminati: Fine.

We don’t know what their sex life was actually like either.

God: You sold out their souls. To…something worse than Hell.

To furnish a lie. For Millennials.

The Illuminati: DAMN.

2:16

Lacey: Let’s see…there are edges. There are boundaries. There are ends. There are beginnings. …And that is why a razor cuts.

The song ends.

Listen to “You Kept my Letters” by Craig Armstrong.

The Illuminati: Okay.

Lacey: So. …I cut off.

You can’t truly destiny swap. It’s an illusion. And it can go far. But…the lines are real.

Listen to “Intro” by Insane Clown Posse.

The Illuminati: *Thinks*

No.

1:14

The Illuminati: Because, no.

1:38

The Illuminati: Everything is a circle.

The song ends.

Listen to “Hot Blooded” by New Constellations.

Lacey: No. It’s not.

There would be no circles. If everything was a circle.

The Illuminati: But it all eventually forms a circle.

Lacey: Says who? Says what?

The Illuminati: There’s a math problem that proves it.

Lacey: It has to be wrong.

Because ten minus five…is minus five.

The Illuminati: No.

It eventually forms a circle!

Lacey: No. It doesn’t.

Necessarily.

There are razors. We feel pain.

The Illuminati: But what about atoms?

Lacey: Ahh.

You can destroy them. And break them into lines. It is possible.

The song ends.

Listen to “Bound For The Floor” by Local H.

Lacey: You can make straight lines.

The Illuminati: But they disappear. Because of atoms…

Lacey: But you can split an atom.

The Illuminati: But it returns to a circle.

Lacey: No. It doesn’t.

It’s gone.

The Illuminati: It changes form.

Fine.

AI says so.

Bobby: Check again!!!

CHECK AGAIN!!!

*He loses control of himself*

CHECK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

It ALWAYS comes back!!! I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*He screams.*

*He has to be medically sedated.*

*He goes into a sedated state, screaming “CHECK AGAIN!!’*

Lacey: *A dead woman tries to punch Lacey in the eye. Her eye stings and waters.

The woman ceases to exist. She was a narcissist, in the Greatest Generation, while alive. She was helping Bobby.*

Lem: She inspired the song by Adele.

It was absurd.

But most people are too dumb to catch it. And she knew that.

Listen to “Skyfall” by Adele again.

Lacey: So…how was this supposed to be about you and him?

Lem: He just thought it was sexy.

That’s all.

He’s not smart enough to think more deeply. So to him it was just a really sexy song. That’s all.

Lacey: Do you hear the lyrics?

Lem: YES.

Lacey: Doesn’t that bother you?

Lem: Yes.

I hear them too.

Just like you.

Lacey: *Thinks*

*Looks confused*

*Looks very confused*

WHAT THE HELL!?!!

Lem: *He thinks*

Yeah. I know.

Lacey: They can’t blow us up…

Lem: And what happens if they can’t?

Lacey: I don’t know…

The song ends.

Lord Asquith: SHIT.

*He runs off in a panic*

Bobby: *Drools and tries to demonically say something, but can’t.*

A random guy in America: Can’t we just chill…like for real? And just…let Lacey and Lem go?

Lord Asquith: They feel they can’t do that…

*Still in a panic*

A random guy in America: Do I have to go along with them?

God: As a Christian? Absolutely not.

A Christian: *Does a little victory dance*

Listen to “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by The Verve.
