The Cowboy into killing Jesus.

Bang bang, shoot shoot.

stopped by a
mysterious stranger... a Moustache Man (Henry Dittman), who
tells
him that this action will not bring him the happiness he seeks.

him.
He will be better than he vass before... STRONGER!
FASTER!"
The Android Homicide Detective (Joe Fria)
demands to know why Jesus isn't an android.
"I am become... android."
"BUT WHAT OF THE PROPHECY?" wails Jesus.
Herr Direktor Bertolt Hugemeyer (Peter Fluet) calls a halt to
the proceedings. After After excoriating
the Pretencia Players, he apologies to the audience - "This
episode is stupid and vulgar."
And he drops a
couple of bombshells:
"By the way, Android Marilyn Monroe Sex Slave is PREGNANT!
VASS?
Also, THAT'S NOT REALLY JESUS EITHER! VASS DA FUCK?"
EPISODE NINE (6/20/09) - "Trial of the Hermaphrodite
Jesus"
PLAYOFFS WEEK FOUR! Photos by Juliette Storace, plus stills from video by
Suze Campagna
The Cowboy is dead. There is only
Android Cowboy now.
Herr Direktor apologizes that this week's
performance is "unsuitable - i.e. IT IS SHIT!"
Therefore, he is handing out new scripts -
live - that the actors HAVE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE - and directing them LIVE ON STAGE. For reals.
The Cowboy is made to do push-ups during
his angsty monologue. SLOW push-ups.
As Marilyn Monroe reveals she's pregnant
with the android's
child, Herr Direktor tells her to do it like she's from the
Valley.
The Screamer and the Crier are briefly
made to switch roles.
Hermaphrodite Jesus is put on trial for
shooting the Cowboy.
The Virgin Mary-Bot (Kat Bardot)
testifies that this is not her son!
Hermaphrodite Jesus rips off his/her beard
and admits he/she is NOT Jesus,
but rather Vomitrov, a time-traveler from the future where
humanity has evolved
into a race of hermaphrodites! Herr Direktor has her
deliver her monologue like
Liza Minelli. She then escapes her trial via time travel,
having prevented the
Prophecy from coming true by shooting the Cowboy and turning him
Android! I think.
The plot points were kind of hard to follow this week. As
you might imagine.
The Virgin Mary-Bot offers comfort to
Marilyn Monroe.
The Android Pet Hitler won't come down
from the tree.
The Owner and Friend kiss in Hitler's golden shower.
While doing an expressive dance routine,
the Cowboy
realizes that even as an Android, he still loves the
Marilyn Monroe Sex Slave and their unborn child.
Vomitrov returns from the future,
announcing that the
Prophecy CAN now be fulfilled - for he/she is pregnant!
And the Screamer reveals to the Crier that she is also pregnant.
"You're going to be a papa, Kristov." The couple express their joy.
Some brief... highlights?... from this
episode.
