 +
They assume I'm not much, just another poor boy.  An' they're probably right.
 +

Someday, but not today.

31. If so, with who or what type of person?
 +
A female type person. 
 +
32. What type of person would be your ideal mate?

33. What would you be willing to do to protect such a person?
 +
Kill or die, and maybe lie, sing a little soooooong....

Johnny stares after him, hatred in his eyes. He leaves, storming off in the direction that St. Jimmy went, forcing his way through the crowd.  He breaks free of the crowd- and St. Jimmy is nowhere to be seen. Johnny, feeling impotent and powerless, hangs his head and turns back to the funeral. An older gentleman, also attending the funeral, sees Johnny, and misinterpreting his mood:]

+
28. How do you get along with others in the same field and/or work environment?

-
Johnny: I just wish I knew who did it.  Then at least I could do something about it.
+
32. Who would miss you, should you go missing?
-
Ferguson: Do what? Go charging off to avenge your family? You’d probably get shot up just like them. Or worse, you wouldn’t be able to find the courage to face whoever did it, once you find out, and have to live with the shame of that. [shakes his head] Don’t bother with that.  It’s a waste of time.  I doubt your father would want you risking your life for some crazy idea of ‘honor.’
+
33. Who might protect you?
-
Johnny: Then what should I do?
+
34. Who might be convinced to sell you out?

[Johnny muses over this for a while.]

Ferguson: Hmm… He sounds like St. Jimmy. Odd character.  Dangerous to people who aren’t on his good side.  I’d stay away from him if I were you.
+
38. What do you know and not know about them?
-
Johnny: Did he know my father?
+
39. Do you live with anyone (housemates, roommates, relatives, friends, near-strangers, family friend, spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover)?
-
Ferguson: Yeah… we both did. Did a little business with him.  It went bad; we got out.  Sent someone over with a gift and our apologies, haven’t heard from him since.
+
40. Are you a member of any special interest groups?
-
Johnny: Do you think maybe he’s the one who killed my family?
+
41. What is your level of involvement?
-
Ferguson: Well, may- [stiffens, looks at Johnny sideways.] Say, you aren’t planning on rushing off and trying to snuff him, are you?  Didn’t I tell you not to try to avenge your family, that it’d be foolish, et cetera?
+
42. What is your current status with local law-enforcement?
-
Johnny: [does his best to look innocent] Of course not! I just want to know more about my father’s life, that’s all. I never really knew him too well; he wasn’t home often.  Was always off on ‘business.’ I want to know what kind of business he was doing that got him involved with a guy like this St. Jimmy character.

[Scene I – In an office, with a desk.  Professor Hobo sits behind the desk.]
+
72. What would you do if someone else attempted to (or successfully did) kill under their "wrong" circumstances, what would be your reaction?
-
Prof. Hobo – To understand the Russian revolution and the fall of the USSR, one must understand a vital aspect of Russian culture – the importance of vodka.  Vodka is an essential part of Russian tradition, and is drank at celebrations, during holidays, when something good happens, when something bad happens, and to stave off the freezing cold in the winter.  It is a large part of the Russian economy due to this. Here is a clip of a Russian cosmonaut discussing Apollo XIII to illustrate this point.
+
73. What if it were your enemy?
-
[Play clip: “When we heard, that the American astronauts survived, there was a big cheer- and we went to the bar and drank vodka, as was Russian tradition.”]
+
74. What if it were your friend?
-
Prof. Hobo – Thus, taking away vodka would rob the Russians of an extremely important and ingrained part of their heritage, and deal a significant blow to their economy.  Unfortunately for the Russian royal family, the Czars underestimated the importance of vodka during World War I.
+
75. What if it were an innocent?

-
The Last Czar - Our soldiers are not fighting well enough against Germany, and we are not producing enough supplies.  The workers, farmers, and soldiers must be drinking too much! A ban on Vodka begins immediately!
+
-
Peasant/Bolshevik – But, Czar! Vodka is an important part of our economy, and we are already poor from the heavy tax burden you have placed on us with your war!  My niece is getting married on Tuesday- how will we celebrate without vodka or money?
+
78. What would you do if something were stolen from you?
-
The Last Czar – No vodka for you! Celebrations distract from your work!  The more you work, the sooner we win the war! The sooner we win the war, the sooner you get money and vodka back!
+
79. What would you do if you were badly insulted publicly?
-
Peasant/Bolshevik – I will not stand for this! Your incentives will not produce the desired results- the negative externalities are too great, and heavily outweigh the benefits! [Soviet star appears on the Peasant/Bolshevik’s furry hat.] I must revolt for the sake of my people! Revolution- for Peace, Equality, Brotherhood and Vodka!  Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!
+
80. What would you do if a good friend or relative were killed by means other than natural death?
-
The Last Czar – What?! That’s not supposed to happen! Let me see that script! [The Peasant/Bolshevik pulls a script out of his coat and hands it to The Last Czar.] What’s this? My title isn’t “The Last Czar!”

Peasant/Bolshevik – It is now! Get him, Komrades!

+
87. Do you belong to an anti-government organization?

Mao – The fething Brits! They ruined our pride with their Opium Wars!  The Dynasties failed.

One Party, One Nation, One Victory!  For the Party!

88. If so, describe the group and it's aims.

+
96. If you are a former member, did you leave voluntarily or involuntarily and why?

+
105. If so, where did you acquire them?
-
Hua Guofeng – Okay. [exuent stage right]
+
106. Are there any circumstances where they become more (or less) evident?
-
Deng Xiaoping – Mao was only 70% right. I am infallible! [shifty eyes] I think we should instate re- I mean, Four Great Modernizations- in Agriculture, Industry, Science & Technology, and National Defence.  Is my idea not original and incredible?!

-
Gorbachev – We need reforms! China has shown us the way. First, political.  I shall instate perestroikia and glasnost- Political restructuring and openness, to rid us of corruption and secret operations!  And let the satellite nations decide on their own whether to be a part of our Soviet Empire or not!

7. Were you forced into your profession by parents or peers?
-
[Scene V – Professor Hobo behind his desk again, with vodka.]
+
8. Did circumstances dictate your choice of profession?
-
Prof. Hobo – So as Gorbachev lowered the demand for vodka, and worked to improve the standard of living, vodka stopped moving, both in the black market for extra vodka and through legal channels. With it, the money stopped moving, and the economy became stagnant. In short, it failed, collapsed. Russia began the slow process of returning to capitalism, and rebuilding its economy- starting by selling off its stock of Soviet weapons, uniforms, equipment, and other paraphernalia to international markets of consumers looking to get a taste of the old Soviet empire. The arms market changed swiftly as supply skyrocketed and demand did not change- prices plunged, and small, poorly funded extremist groups found that they could now arm themselves as well as their enemies. The arms business and the souvenir business put Russia back in business as best as it could, but even now Russia is a poor country, despite its dealings with India in military technology development and sales. Meanwhile, China found that demand for everything that they had was increasing as long as they could sell it, and so the economic reforms continued- until China reached its current state, which resembles fascism more than communism, despite the name. In whatever form it survived- through propaganda, economic manipulation, and the sheer amount of resources it has, China survived.

Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot? We couldn't afford to move. 9. How did you get along with their parents?

10. How would your parents describe you? Answer this in the voice of your mother, then in your father's. My parents are dead, so they could only describe me as they knew me as a child.

  • shrug*

If so, what did this person do to become famous or infamous? .... 28. What do people assume about you once your ancestry is revealed? Do you try to live up to the reputation of their ancestor, try to live it down, or ignore it? They assume I'm not much, just another poor boy. An' they're probably right. 29.

A good-looking girl, with a small, round nose, short hair, nice eyes, nice jaw... maybe an elf. 33. What would you be willing to do to protect such a person? Kill or die, and maybe lie, sing a little soooooong.... 34. Is there anything you wouldn't do to protect such a person and if so what? Um... I don't know. Oh! Cheat on them. 35.
