It smells like chocolate outside. And no, I'm not going crazy, you can ask Jenny!
Today, we learned how to die opera-style. It includes getting stabbed, and then singing about it. Both parties have to sing. Today's opera death will be acted by Tom & Buddy. Please note that all of the parts are sung.
--Buddy stabs Tom--
Tom: He stabbed me!!!
Buddy: I stabbed him!!
Tom: He stabbed me!!
--Tom stumbles around, and falls on the ground--
Tom: He stabbed me and I'm dying!!
Buddy: I stabbed him and he's dying!!
--Tom gets up again, drags himself around--
Tom: He stabbed me and I'm dying!!! I'm dying!!!
Buddy: I stabbed him!!
--the same dialogue is repeated--
Tom (ten minutes later): I'm dying! I'm dead!!
--Tom falls to the ground, dead.--
Buddy: I killed him!!!
--Buddy stabs himself--
Buddy: I killed Tom and I stabbed myself!!
--Buddy sings aria about killing Tom due to his unrequited love--
--Buddy falls to the ground--
Buddy: I'm dying!! I'm dying!! I'm dead!!
--end of opera--
I should get into the opera-writing business, I think I'd rule.
