Oops, Dueling in a Morrocan Courtyard
The man and woman are dueling, are
they not? It’s a dueling contest! They’ve got sabers or swords in their hands.
This is an unusual setting. There’s vegetation in the background, a plaza it
looks like. There’s furniture on the right and a sheet on the wall in the back.
‘The lady has a nice slim waist!’
Her name is Diane. ‘The gentlemen is Stupid, for dueling with the woman,’
says Mike. They’re dueling in Morocco. If Mike was in the background, he’d run
towards the man and go for his knees! They must be dueling for some prize.
‘A woman dueling with a man, she’s
had enough of his crap!’
They don’t look very pleasant. It’s
a tangle. Bonnie counts 1, 2, 3 people in the back who are observing. They
aren’t trying to stop it! The man and woman are tangling over whatever they’re
doing. ‘I don’t think she’s ever washed the dishes,’ claims Mike. It’s possible
that the duel is just the sport. She’s the one leaning towards him while he
looks ready to run. She doesn’t look pleasant, neither does he.
It’s a homemade establishment.
They’re in a courtyard with a figurine on the right. It looks like there’s also
trees in the background. If this was in color, there would be green in the
background. All their clothes would be dark and brightened up. There’s an
aroma, an odor; it’s someone cooking steaks around the corner! It’s unusual for
a duel to be in such a small, confined space. ‘Well, the floor could be
stretching all the way to our seats!’
Roger exclaims, ‘I bet this is an
instructor with his young student.’
The people in the background are
students or friends. ‘They’re kind of incidental.’ The lady in the back is
handing out food. The people in the back are named after the three stooges-
Larry, Curley and Moe.
That’s a thin blade of steel and it
looks lightweight! It’s a saber.
After the duel, Diane and Stupid
kiss and make, up then they’ll all go out for a drink. Larry, Curley, and Moe-
1, 2, 3, Bonne counts again- go bowling.
They also may back off; I don’t see
them having a duel next. They’ll go off to have a good time, or let other
people know what’s going on. They don’t want to get into this!
‘It’s a sport,’ Roger says.
‘It doesn’t look pleasant at all,’
says Bonnie.
‘Excitement! Great Scott I’m
excited!’ declares Roger.
This may get even worse if they
can’t help. It don’t look like Diane and Stupid are having a good time.
‘I think these two in front are
lovers,’ and the people in the back are their friends. The man in the
background on the left also uses the sword. He’s waiting his turn to duel, ‘I’d
sure like to be there.’
Sidney sings, ‘We’re off on the
road to Morocco!’
Anybody taking that position
is looking for trouble! Either way, Stupid is getting the short end of that
stick. He’s standing there and Diane is telling him, ‘say Ralph, I don’t wanna
kill him. I wanna kill the man in the corner with the woman! That’s MY
husband!’. She has murder in her eyes.
They’re both passionate. This has
stimulated our brains!
If you were there and didn’t know
these people, you would want to back up! If you see something outrageous, don’t
get into it. Let someone know! It would be a catastrophe.
