Dramatis personae
FLEMMING STENMUNK, BASTARD ADVENTURER - a bastard adventurer
HALTZ AEON - a transgalactic, transdimensional, transreal, transfinite and translogical trader, CEO and owner of Aeon industries
NARRATOR - a disembodied voice
FLEMMING STENMUNK and HALTZ AEON, both in disguise as noble gentlemen
STENMUNK
Excuse me, sir, how much for that sky you have there?
AEON
Oh, this one?
It's not mine, sorry
You would have to find the owners.
In fact, I happen to be on a quest to do just that
STENMUNK
Well then, have you any idea of the general market price of sky?
AEON
One freedom, or so I've heard.
STENMUNK
Zounds! I'm down to three quarter-freedoms.
What's a man to do, in this day and age?
AEON
Sell his soul to a megacorp?
STENMUNK
Don't even try it, Haltz.
AEON
Curse you, Stenmunk! Foiled again!
STENMUNK
Ha-haaa!
Flemming Stenmunk shall be indebted to NO MAN!
(or legal or financial entity)
(or space horror)
(especially not space horror.)
AEON
But this is not a debt I propose. I simple business transaction. A ware for a ware.
STENMUNK
Advance payment, one soul?
No such luck, Mr Aeon
You'll have to pry my soul from my cold, dead body
um
yes, right.
AEON
Should i remind you that this has never been a problem for Aeon Industries?
STENMUNK
Should I remind you that Aeon Industries has never before tangled with one Flemming Stenmunk?
I, sir, am trouble you've not known!
AEON
I, trouble, am knowledge you've not sired.
STENMUNK
I'm... okay.... yes.
I confess I am baffled.
AEON
My point exactly.
STENMUNK
You win this tussle of tongues, Aeon!
But you'll never win... AGAINST STENMUNK!
grappling hook exit
AEON
I don't have to win. There are plenty others that will jump at the chance.
All i need is to be there and pick the bones for what i want.
STENMUNK
THE WIND IN MY EARS, IT IS SO LOUD, I CANNOT HEAR YOU
WHEEEEEEE
I WONDER WHAT EXACTLY THIS GRAPPLING HOOK IS ATTACHED TO
A BLIMP? COULD BE A BLIMP
AEON
Blind faith.
STENMUNK
YES THAT WORKS TOO
OR THE SKIN OF SOMEONE'S TEETH
WHICH IS A DISGUSTING SAYING.
AEON
I should remind you that your monthly payment on your blind faith is due in 2 weeks.
STENMUNK
Why yes, my good blimp captain, I AM sorry that I punched a hole in your cabin floor.
No, I would not much care to be thrown out.
NARRATOR
HOW WILL FLEMMING UNTANGLE HIMSELF FROM THIS TANGLED TANGLE?
FIND OUT NEXT WEEK!
