I Want One

It’s time again for another episode of Shagbottom Theater!

Sadie Sue has many friends, and she doesn’t do her theater work alone. Her closest colleagues are her cousins: Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. These two siblings are total geeks, named for a couple of great Marvel Comics characters. Tony even has a white spot on his chest that stands in for the arc-reactor. He takes his name to heart and has been dying to do a parody from one of the Iron Man Films (Iron Man 2 – 2010).

As June is national adopt a shelter cat month, who better to bring you this edition of Shagbottom Theater?

Tony: Pepper.

Pepper: What?

Tony: Who is she?

Pepper: She is from legal. And she is potentially a very expensive sexual harassment lawsuit if you keep ogling her like that.

Tony: I need a new assistant, boss.

Pepper: Yes, and I’ve got three excellent potential candidates. They’re lined up and ready to meet you.

Tony: I don’t have time to meet. I need someone now. I feel like it’s her.

Pepper: You’re so predictable, you know that?

Tony: She’s fluent in French, Italian, Russian, Latin. Who speaks Latin?

Pepper: No one speaks Latin. It’s a dead language. You can read Latin or you can write Latin, but you can’t speak Latin.

Tony: I need her. She’s got everything that I need.

Pepper: No.

Tony: I want one.

Pepper: No.
