[The petstore we find ourselves in is silent save for the 
rebellious howls, squawks, squeaks, and meows of the prisoners 
inside their cages. EXCEL strides through the door, setting off 
the bell above the door and, for no particular reason, a wave of 
canned laughter. She holds MENCHI firmly by the scruff of her 
neck as EXCEL walks to the counter.]

EXCEL: Excuse me, Ma'am!

[SUMIYOSHI comes out from the back, adjusting his glasses.]

SUMIYOSHI: I'm a man...

EXCEL: [pauses just a moment]: I'm sorry, I have a cold. [she
shakes her head rapidly] I'd like to register a complaint!

SUMIYOSHI: About what..?

EXCEL: [shakes MENCHI, and the audience's attention is drawn to
the prominent 'X' that replaces each of the poor dog's eyes.] I 
purchased this pooch not half an hour ago at this very beautique, 
and it... [pauses dramatically] is dead.

SUMIYOSHI: [looks at poor MENCHI for a moment, then shakes his 
head.] He's not dead, he's pining for the fjords. Wonderful dog, 
the Norwegian White is...

EXCEL: [disbelieving squeal] PINING FOR THE FJORDS! Look here...

[She is interrupted as KABAPU, pointy blonde mustache bristling 
with indignation, stalks in from off-set clad in a formal 
military uniform.]

KABAPU: Now now, look here! This started out as a good old 
fashioned cartoon about a girl and her evil overlord trying to 
take over the world, and then it just plain got silly. I DEMAND 
that this cartoon return to its roots... 

[Suddenly, KABAPU is attacked by a horde of rabid keep-left signs.
As EXCEL and SUMIYOSHI watch, HISHIDI RIKDO's stamp comes down.]

HISHIDI RIKDO: [VO] I, Hishidi Rikdo, do NOT give my permission 
for Excel Saga to become a Monty Python parody, as this story is
fanfiction and far beneath my personal notice. However, if I WERE
to be made aware of this, I'm sure John Cleese and I wouldn't mind
one bit (anything for a cheap laugh or two), but I still reserve 
all rights to Excel Saga and any attempts to distribute this story 
for profit will be met by the harsh fist of ACROSS.


EXCEL SAGA 
QUACK EXPERIMENTAL ANIME
EXPERIMENT [large red CLASSIFIED stamp over the number]:



And now for Something... Just Like Every Other Episode





(I have bumped into a bit of a problem: To wit, none of my usual
prereaders have ever seen Excel Saga, and several of them have 
expressed NEGATIVE amounts of interest in this excellent series.

_< So, I put out a plea for prereaders for this fic, as I don't

wish to embarrass myself...)
