Still on a Fame kick, I was surprised to find a fanfic, a really good fanfic at that. It looks at Montgomery MacNeil’s life before, during, and after his time at the school of performing arts through the eyes of people around him. I think it’s cannon. No sex, but language if that’s something that bothers you.
I was coming home from school one day. As usual. I had a couple of pieces of business to attend to in the neighborhood. It was January. It was snowing like crazy. Santa Claus just ripped everybody off. He split for Toy Town or lgloo City or the North Pole or wherever the hell he goes. So anyway. I was going home, and I found this note. It said my two chicks were in church. What the hell are my two chicks doing in church? Somebody die or something? That was- that was a joke. That was supposed to be a joke. Anyway, I went home. I dropped a little incense like I always do, just to unwind a little bit. And I put on the TV set. And there was this guy on the TV. And he was talking about Freddie. He- he said that- he said that Freddie Prinze put a gun to his head and he killed himself. You know, it was an accident, man. Shit, I mean, he was fucking- he was very gifted. You always laughed at him because he was very fucking talented. And sometimes you didn't even wanna laugh at him and you laughed at him anyway. But those motherfuckers, they had to say that he was depressed and he was suicidal, and that he was fucked up. They wanted his fucking ass, man. They wanted to nail his ass. Because he didn't think living was such a happy trip, you know? We can't have happy people walking on this planet. Everybody's gotta be so goddamn serious. Everyone's gotta stay in business and suffer so the witch doctors and the deodorant-spray people and plastic surgeons could stay in business. And we can all go fucking pray to the asshole God up there that fucked it up in the first place!
Ralph's monologue, Fame
Ralph: It's a joke, that's all. It just came out.
Montgomery: Like me.
