SCENE: Felina Vie is on her stomach on a bed. She has antlers on her head. She also has very frizzy red hair that has been teased up high into her antlers.
FELINA: Come on, Lustig! This Halloween let’s be classy! No jokes about me being “horny.” No lame puns. I refuse to fawn over you. Doe us proud and…and..Oh, deer! You’re turning this into a stupid stag party joke, aren’t you?
