GUEST IS ROB AVERY ONE OF DAYTON'S MOST INNOVATIVE ARTIST |

ON THE TABLE WILL BE THE RUBBER RAT IN THE TRAP WITH BATTERIES TURNED ON. ANOTHER TRAP WILL BE SETTING TO THE FRONT AND NEAR POLLY. THE OTHER TRAP (THE TRICK ONE) WILL BE OUT OF REACH OF THE GUEST.
{THE STANDARD INTRO (BEFORE A DEAD AUDIENCE) IS ABOUT 45 SECONDS}
POLLY IS STANDING AFTER THE FADE FROM INTRODUCTION.
POLLY, "Tonight our guest is the famous Rob Avery. Also known as Psycho Santa or just plain crazy."
ROB WALKS IN
POLLY, "Welcome Rob. You are one of Dayton's most famous characters."
ROB, "Thank you"
POLLY, "I have written here to ask you about All your movies you have done. Three it looks like?"
ROB, "Yea, I wrote that."
ROB, "My first movie was "Rob the Slasher". No it wasn't me. It was that other Rob. The second one was "Scream for Christmas" and my current one is "Memorial".
POLLY, "What kind of distribution do you get on these?"
ROB, "Crap. We really need a venue in Dayton that shows Indie movies."
ROB PAUSES, "The problem is that the Independent Film makers are doing it for the art. It is like they have compulsion. They must do it. But when you get ready to show them you have all the competition from the commercial artist."
POLLY, "Wasn't there a film festival back in '96 or so at EFX that you participated in?"
ROB, "Yea, but you know that was like six years ago. The people like DVAC need to sponsor one every six months or so."
POLLY, "You have a mind like a steel trap."
POLLY REACHES OVER AND GETS THE (TRICK) STEEL TRAP AND PUTS HER HAND IN IT. SHE LEAVES IT IN THE TRAP FOR TEN SECONDS AND THEN REMOVES IT.
POLLY, "This card tells me to ask you about your FLASH movies. You have made two?"
ROB, "Yea I wrote that on the card also."
MOVEMENT BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND SOME STRANGE SOUNDS.
ROB LOOKS TOWARD IT
POLLY, "Ignore what is behind the curtain."
ROB, "Yea the FLASH movies. I have made two. They were about the birth of Psycho Santa. They are interesting but very time consuming. However, if you are an independent animator it is your best bet. FLASH is not that difficult to learn and you do have the internet as an outlet for your creations."
MOVEMENT AGAIN BEHIND THE CURTAIN WITH MORE STRANGE NOISES.
ROB LOOKS TOWARD IT AGAIN
POLLY, "Ignore it."
POLLY, "The card says that you are most famous for your Janet Reno stories but they are a little perverse for our show. It also says you have some excellent Timmy stories. Would you be so kind to tell us one?"
{THIS CONSUMES TWO MINUTES AND THIRTY SECONDS}
ROB TELLS THE TIMMY STORY ABOUT THE FORTH OF JULY AND SWIMMING POOL. {STORY CONSUMES ABOUT THREE MINUTES}
POLLY, "That was a cute story."
ROB, "Thank you"
POLLY LOOKS AT THE CAMERA
POLLY, "Now we are going to see the last episode of the series "_______________________________________"
"But don't go away Rob. When we come back I want to ask about your participation in the Time Travel experiments.
SHOW LAST EPISODE OF POLLY'S SERIES
{THIS LAST EPISODE WILL CONSUME ABOUT FIVE MINUTES}
POLLY, "We are going to see our Performance Art Segment in a minute. I hear it is a really unusual one. It appears that performers in the Midwest have been on the quest to communicate with time travelers and no one even knows about it."
POLLY, "First we are going to see our "On the street" segment that indicates that our language is dead."
{SHOW GENUINE AUTO PARTS SEGMENT}
| There is a store on East Third street called "Genuine Auto Parts" Polly ask them where she can find fake auto parts because she has a fake car. If they say they don't know then she will ask them if the "Genuine Auto Parts" will fit her fake car. If they say "Yes." She will ask them if she gets a discount since she doesn't need the warrantee because they will never wear out. |
{DEAD LANGUAGE CONSUMES ABOUT TWO MINUTES}
POLLY, "OK we are back." "Rob you participated in the at least one of the Performance Art pieces that was searching for time travelers." My understanding is that The group you participated in would set up weird scenarios in an attempt to entice time travelers from the future to come and communicate with us. With the one you particularly participated in there was this black glob that moved in front of you. You guys had two camera angles and it did not appear on the second one. Was this an indication that the time travelers were communicating with us?"
ROB, "Absolutely, We set up different devices, including a computer that counted each tenth of a second and recorded it for later inspection. The two video cameras were just part of the time traveler equipment."
POLLY, "Well lets see the video clip and let the viewers decide"
PLAY VIDEO CLIP {ABOUT 30 SECONDS}
POLLY, "It was strange but I don't know about time travelers"
ROB "There were many more Raids. One of the most significant ones was the McDonalds raid. A CB radio was tested and made to transmit back to a recording studio a mile or less away. The transmission was made but were never recorded. There was nothing wrong with the equipment. A video camera was used to record the raid. It had audio but the video was all static. The video camera had never failed before and has never failed since. For the past six years. We have no video to show you of this McDonalds raid but we do have a newspaper clipping.
ROB HOLD UP NEWSPAPER CLIPPING AND CAMERA ZOOM IN ON IT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS SO IT CAN BE READ
ROB "Even these two raids on time are not as significant as the next two. At the Cleveland Performance art festival the time travelers left a recording for Jack. He was the originator of the performance piece. On it you can hear a soft feminine voice say "Jack, Jack, 2422" Jack started to translate the remainder of the tape and the voice said "Don't translate until 2006". Well obviously you are going to listen to Time Travelers from 2422 so no more has been translated."
POLLY, "We have some of that tape. Listen carefully and you will hear the time traveler from 2422 say "Jack, Jack, 2422"
PLAY SHORT SECTION THAT SAYS "Jack, Jack, 2422"
POLLY, "You said there were two more raids? What was the second one?
ROB, "In October of 2000 one of Dayton's leading avant-garde artist had an art party. During that time Jack and Sara performed a séance to bring the time travelers to us."
ROB CONTINUES, "There was no immediate record that the time travelers did communicate but the host of the art party committed suicide that night and the records were sealed and put away." TO GO TO THIS PERFORMANCE: http://jackbowman.home.mindspring.com/time/
POLLY, "Wow. Were there any more raids"
ROB, "You mean before the suicide?"
POLLY, "Yea"
ROB, "There were several around Dayton, Denny's, Molino's, Fiches. The participants in the raids kept careful records and recorded what they saw as soon as they came out. There were people in the video that none of the raiders remembered seeing. It is a logical assumption that they were time travelers. We can show some video clips of these raids but I can't tell you who the time travelers are because I didn't participate in any."
SHOW VIDEO CLIPS OF DENNY'S AND MOLINO'S RAIDS. {ABOUT SIXTY SECONDS}
POLLY, "Tell us more"
ROB, "There was a radio transmission from Honduras in the search but they just quit after the suicide and we are waiting until 2006 for the translations."
POLLY, "Well, I am sure excited."
{PERFORMANCE SEGMENT CONSUMES ABOUT FIVE MINUTES}
POLLY, "Now we have what we have all been waiting for. The final episode of "Quantum Girl vs The Mad Blaster and "Santa's Little Helper".
POLLY, "Rob, didn't you participate in this?"
ROB, "Yes. I an "Santa's Little Helper"
MOVEMENT OF CURTAIN AGAIN
ROB LOOKS IN THAT DIRECTIONS AND SAYS, "There is that movement again. What is back there?"
POLLY, "Ignore her, I mean it. Lets watch the movie."
{SHOW EPISODE FOUR OF "QUANTUM GIRL VS THE MAD BLASTER AND HIS SIDEKICK "Santa's Little Helper"}
{THIS IS FIVE MINUTES LONG}
{FADE TO STAGE SET}
ROB IS STANDING UP AND WALKING TOWARD THE CURTAIN.
ROB SAYS, "I got to see what is going on here"
ROB REMOVES THE CURTAIN AND THERE IS A DANCING MINI POLLY.
ROB JUMPS BACK.
POLLY HOLDS HER HANDS OUT LIKE OK OR I DON'T KNOW
POLLY SAYS, "Be sure to tune in next to watch the entire performance of a X-Mas Carol"
