Fringe
Tuesday, September 26th, 2023SCENE: A coffee shop in Roseville, MInnesota. Avery LIBRELLE, Cat SCAT and Moonbeam BIRKENSTOCK are drinking kombucha and checking their phones. Mitch BERG walks in.
SCAT: Merg!
BERG (not happy to run into the three of them) Oh, hey…
BIRKENSTOCK: Shut up. There’s an anti-semitic Nazi running for school board in Roseville!
BERG: Huh. Do tell.
LIBRELLE: Look here ZOMG!
BERG: Did you actually just say “Zee Oh Em Gee?”
BIRKENSTOCK: Shut up. Read this.
BIRKENSTOCK: We need to spread the word!
SCAT: We need to light up social media and GET THE WORD OUT!
BERG: Uh…
LIBRELLE: WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THERE”S AN ANTI-SEMITE RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD!
BERG: Look, I may be more nauseated by this guy than any of you, but let’s be honest – the guy was going to get five votes in the election. He was the farthest fringe of the fringe of the fringe.
LIBRELLE: I’m going to talk about him on my cable access show?
BIRKENSTOCK: :Your what?
SCAT: Definitely going on. my podcast.
BIRKENSTOCK: I’m putting him on blast on instagram and TikTok
BERG: Right. So, I’m just wondering if this blitz of revulsion will give him order of magnitude more public profile than he’d have had as a fringe nutcase?
SCAT: We’re being mansplained
BERG: Yeah, that’s it.
BIRKENSTOCK: You must be a sympathizer!
BERG: Er, my grandparents generation spent the best years of their lives killing people like him.
BIRKENSTOCK: When?
BERG: Er…during World War 2.
BIRKENSTOCK: During what?
BERG: Exactly.
LIBRELLE: We have to get the word out! Now!
BERG: Yeah. That’s a great idea.
BERG Slowly backs out of the shop.
