1. Beginnings
“Push, Mrs. Brown!”
Sarah screamed. “ELIAS, YOU ARE NEVER GETTING NEAR ME AGAIN!”
Despite already having gone through this once with his daughter, Elias Brown cowered away from his wife. Normally a meek, gentle woman, Sarah turned into an utter banshee whenever she was in labor. I don’t think I will ever go near her again! he thought, terrified. Please, please be a boy. . . .
“Come on, Mrs. Brown!” Dr. Wilson urged. He had been present at what seemed like hundreds of births since he had started his practice, and thus was unfazed by Sarah’s rants. “I can see the head! Just one more push!”
Sarah pushed, straining against the bed. “If I didn’t need you to help take care of Emily, Elias. . . .”
“I know, dear, I know,” Elias said, voice trembling.
Dr. Wilson smirked. He, like most people, found the local veterinarian to be rather insufferable, what with his ranting and raving about scientists and bankers and witches. The man didn’t seem to trust anyone on earth. It was good to see him being terrorized for once, instead of terrorizing others.
“Dr. Wilson!” the midwife, Eileen Baines, cried.
“Right!” Dr. Wilson nodded, returning to the task at hand. “Just a little more, Sarah -- and -- yes!”
A moment later, Dr. Wilson handed a squalling baby to Sarah. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Brown,” he smiled. “It’s a boy.”
Elias beamed. “A boy. Just like we wanted.”
“Yes,” Sarah said, rather breathlessly. “A beautiful little boy. . . .”
“What are you going to name him?” Eileen asked.
Sarah looked at Elias. “Well, we wanted to name a son Emmett, right?” Elias nodded. “And for the middle name, we can use my maiden name. Lathrop. Emmett Lathrop Brown.”
“Emmett Lathrop Brown,” Elias agreed. “I’m sure he’ll be a credit to the name.”
32. Lightning
10:04. The biggest bolt of lightning Doc had ever seen hit the Clock Tower. At the last second, he managed to plug the cables back together, receiving a brief but memorable shock. Before him, the DeLorean hit the wire. 1.21 gigawatts coursed into the flux capacitor, and the car vanished, leaving behind a pair of fire trails stretching to the Town cinema. A ghostly echo of a crash followed -- then silence. Doc got up and investigated the scene, feeling a bit numb. Then a joyous thrill went through him as he realized the experiment had worked. God, he loved science.
These were the two I immediately thought of when I did the table. More to follow -- if I can ever stop watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" clips on YouTube.
*muses are paralyzed with laughter and thus can't berate me*
:D I have written, I'm working on my "Boy Genius" page right now. I'll try to do better tomorrow. Howevr, in the interest of sharing:
Greatest Hits: College -- Colin cracks up Ryan with "tapioca!"
If You Know What I Mean: Office -- Colin was never good at this game :p
Greatest Hits: Western -- Colin cracks up Ryan again with his idea of an Arctic Tern call
Irish Drinking Song: Knocked Over Xmas Tree -- Colin ROCKS at this game
Sound Effects: Firemen -- These poor women just couldn't get it right
Irish Drinking Song: Yelled Out Wrong Name In Bed -- This one was killed before it could start
Party Quirks: Neon -- this is the episode where Ryan broke the neon light on Drew's desk
Irish Drinking Song: Broke Up -- Colin regularly cracks up everyone
Irish Drinking Song: Graduation -- Colin probably SHOULDN'T be the last person, but then where would we get our fun?
HORWARD -- One of the more memorable screw-ups in Whose Line? History -- and hey, one that ISN'T Colin/Ryan centered!
Weird Newscasters: BTTF! -- And poor Ryan has to make a go at being Doc Brown.
I WANTED to share my favorite one, the "Improbable Mission" where Colin keeps yelling "the cat!!", but I can't find it! *snarl and smacks YouTube* Where the hell is it?
*sigh* I gotta go to bed. Night all.
