Tommy, I swear! It’s like clockwork with you, isn’t it? The day before every Garage Theater show, you forget all your cues!

It’s like you want to see your dad get all stressed out, like you want to embarrass me in front of all our neighbors! Fine! We’ll go over it again!

So, my character, a rough-and-tumble biker with a heart of gold, and your mom’s character, a android who traveled back in time (and in the process learned how to feel love), have a… um… romantic scene together. So first thing’s first, I need you to sanatize the garage floor with this Haan FS30PPlus; it’s great for stubborn grime which is great because your mom and I don’t wanna be rolling around on some cold, dirty concrete where we usually park our cars.

Okay, the other thing we need is some steam for when things get hot and heavy. You’ll use the Haan for that too. It only takes 3 minutes to get the 212°F steam to be ready, so that means your cue will be when I say, “Do I hear digital weeping coming from behind that rock?” The steam will be all set to go once we get going… unless your mother skips half her lines again like she did in the tech, or your sister just decides to breeze through in her pterodactyl costume, because who cares about dad’s script, right? He only worked on it tirelessly for two years, and it’s the part one of a trilogy so mistakes in this one mean rewrites for the others, and…

Sorry Tommy! Lost myself there! Anyway that’s all you need to know for tomorrow. Think you can remember? Promise? Good, because if you don’t, I’ll be looking for a new stage manager.
