> Am at shop. Whats all this about?
> Please go inside and tell the lady at the counter your name, she will then hand you a suitcase and lead you and my friends to a fitting room where your surprise awaits. (Smiley Face).
******
> David, have you seen your surprise yet?
> Ok you can piss of if you think Im going to wear this thing!
> Why David? (Sad Face).
> Im NOT prancing around weston dresed as a fucking monkey ok!
> But it's not just any monkey costume David. It is a costume of 'Divad'.
> Who?
> Divad... the famous monkey from Millie's book, 'The Money Monkey'.
> Ok, whats going on?
> Not only was 'The Money Monkey' dedicated to you, Millie even named the central character after you, and made it so obvious she clearly knew you would never read her story. Isn't that sad David. (Sad Face).
> OK, I get it now. I know who you are! Your that deluded fan of millies from couple years ago who wanted to be a kids writer & wouldnt leave her alone. Its you isn't it! Your a crazy fanatic, that's why you blame me for her death! I probably met you on one of her book signings!
> No David, you're barking up the wrong tree. I can assure you, I'm not a fanatical person, nor am I in any way deluded.
> Well I dont give a fuck ok! Im tired of this crap! Im going to cook inside all this fur! Its going to be baking hot today!
> Yes, they have predicted high temperatures for today. But please consider your chauffeur David, who is currently nursing the loss of one thumb as a result of your previous defiance. Must I remind you that the well-being of Ben's other thumb depends entirely on your cooperation.
> I swear I'm going to make you pay when this is over!
> Yes, yes... now please put the costume on David. The time is ticking. My friends will help you get your chunky waistline into it.
> No help thanx nobhead & you can forget me wearing the headpiece!
> But how will people recognize its Divad the famous monkey without his distinctive ears? Besides I have designed it so there's a big hole in the front for your pink pudgy face to breathe through.
> It too hot today for this shit. I hate costumes ok! Never worn one, never intended to. Look, I'll play your game ok, but not looking like a dickhead!
> Well, one could argue (and please excuse my French) that you look like a 'dick-head' regardless of the costume, and Ben agrees, now please put the headpiece on.
> OK you fuck!
******
> Are you in Divad's costume yet David?
> Yes!
> Describe what you see in the mirror please.
> I see me forced in a monkey suit wearing red trousers & bow tie! & whats with this suitcase? I don't have to carry it around to do i?
