Admiral Ackbar.
[Mikey walks onstage with a bowl of Ramen noodles. He stands center, smiles, shovels a forkful of noodles in his mouth. Looks up.]
Mikey : It's a trap!
[Smiles, walks offstage. Matt and Ingrid enter from the other direction.]
Matt : Was that supposed to be a Star Wars reference or something?
Ingrid : I'm not sure.
Matt : Was that funny?
[Ingrid just stares where Mikey exited.]
Matt : I mean, if you're not into the whole Star Wars thing, you aren't going to recognize that reference Mikey just made. Hey, Mikey. Mikey!
[Mikey reenters. Without noodles.]
Mikey : Yeah?
Matt : What WAS that...uh, thing you just did?
Mikey : The "It's a trap" thing?
Ingrid : Yeah.
Mikey : It's Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi. You know, the squid dude from the Death Star assault scene.
[Matt and Ingrid stare blankly.]
Mikey : Y'know? Commands the squadron that's taking out the Death Star. The SECOND Death Star?
[Matt and Ingrid just continue to stare.]
Mikey : Man, you guys just aren't fans.
Matt : I LIKE the movies and all...
Mikey : Yeah, but you're not HARDCORE.
Ingrid : Hardcore?
Mikey : Sure. How many weeks did you wait in line to see the Phantom Menace?
Matt : I didn't. I saw it the week after it came out.
Ingrid : It wasn't that good, honestly.
[Mikey locks a murderous glare onto Ingrid.]
Mikey : Alright. So I guess you don't have the original movies on tape, the THX version of the FIRST trilogy, the widescreen version, the widescreen THX version, AND the "Special Edition" release?
Matt : I don't even have a VCR.
Mikey : I guess you don't have the official Obi-Wan Kenobi war braid, then?
[Mikey pulls a braid of hair out of his pocket, and clips it on to his actual
hair.]
Ingrid : Nope.
Mikey : See: you aren't hardcore. Check this out: I just got the official DARTH MAUL DOUBLE LIGHT SABER. Hang on...
[Mikey exits. Matt and Ingrid look at each other.]
Ingrid : Whatta loser.
Matt : Let's go.
[Matt and Ingrid exit. A moment later, Mikey returns with a Darth Maul plastic
saber.]
Mikey : Guys? Fellas? [Looks around for a second, guiltily, then plays with his toys...] I am your father Luke! [heavy breathing sounds, swings saber around a few times]
[blackout. music.]
[Lights come back up, Mikey’s still on stage.]
Announcer : Mikey? We’re gonna do the next sketch, now.
Mikey : Oh, sorry.
[blackout. music.]
