At Home with John and Teresa. No. 20
John: “Well, that’s it, Teresa. I made my concession speech. I’m absolutely exhausted, emotionally and physically, and I know that you must be too.â€
Teresa:
John: “I know just what we need. We need to get away for a few weeks to rest and regroup. I was thinking that we should hop on the Glufstream 5 and head off for Paris for a week or so, and maybe after that, Monte Carlo. I could do some windsurfing.â€
Teresa: “You’d better think again, Jake.â€
John: “Huh?â€
Teresa: “Get out.â€
John: “Get out? What are you talking about?â€
Teresa: “You heard me. Get your ass out of here. Pierre is packing up your shit now. Be sure to tell him where to send it.â€
John: “You must be teasing me, Muffin. You can’t be serious.â€
Teresa: “Do I look like I’m doing comedy here? I want you out of here, now!â€
John: “I can’t believe this. Why?â€
Teresa: “Our deal was the White House – nothing less. You lost, so now you can hit the goddamned bricks.â€
John: “I know you’re upset, Muffin. Maybe a couple weeks away would do us both good.â€
Teresa: “Asshole, what part of GET OUT didn’t you get? Get out!â€
John: “OK, I am sure that you will feel better in a day or so, so I’ll spend a couple days in our place in Nantucket, and call you from there.â€
Teresa: “What do you mean ‘our place’ in Nantucket? The house in Nantucket and all the other houses are mine, Dork Puss. Remember the agreement you signed?â€
John: “But Muffin, where will I go? What will I do?â€
Teresa: “Frankly, John, I don’t give a damn.â€
John:
Spot On!! Got it in one.

Outstanding work this year on the “At Home with John and Teresa” series. Luckily next year the “Home” will not be the White House.

Sorry to see the series end but, considering the reason, not too sorry.

You know, I have been waiting for this story for a while. I really have n doubt it is coming, and likely sooner rather than later. After all, why spend so much dead-republican money on a democrat loser anyway? Doesn’t make any sense to me.

Heheh..love it. Hope it pans out. But, then again…maybe she’ll run against Hillary in ’08, so she’ll keep him hanging around like Hill does Bill.
*shudder*

“Rodham-Clinton/Heinz-Kerry”??? That just made me shudder. Or maybe I just need to go to the restroom. Hard to tell.
I will miss the dialogues. Perhaps another one close to the inauguration? I think it’s fertile ground.

Thank you all for the kind words. I had fun writing these.
I doubt that they’ll be a #21, but Mamamontezz may be right. We’ll see.

You are a cold and brutal man… wanna come and visit Arkansas?
I think we would get along just fine.

I really enjoyed the whole series. It would have made a wonderful ongoing skit on SNL or one of the late night talk shows. Greeeaaat Satire !! Hilarious !!
