i have been inclined for aaaages, it's just a matter of sitting me down and churning that shit out. MARX/ENGELS. my plan is to finish reading the biography (and underlining favorite lines, and scribbling hearts in the margins next to bromantic passages) and then i will... use it as a reference. JUDGE ME NOT D-:
(1. Bradley finds a biography of Marx -- "There are no good ones of Engels!" he complains -- and pesters the director to include certain anecdotes in the show. The director sighs, says, "I just don't think throwing Marx into the drunk tank and having you and Marie bring him alcohol and cigarettes to cheer him up is very family-friendly."
"What about when he hijacks a donkey when he's drunk and the Metropolitan police chase him through the town?" asks Bradley.
"Donkeys are not in our budget."
2. [Camera focuses. Bradley and Colin are looking very serious, wearing large fake beards. The camera wobbles a bit, and Angel's giggling is heard in the background.] Bradley: Greetings, Revolutions fans. This is Friedrich Engels. Colin: And I am Karl Marx. Bradley: We're here to tell you why you, too, should help us overthrow the capitalist system. Colin: Dictatorship of the proletariat! Bradley: That's right, you bourgeois pissants. The lot of you, with your money, and your... your... Colin: Your estates, and your inheritance. Bradley: And your Yorkshire terriers that you carry around in your Gucci handbags. Your time will come! Angel: [Off-camera.] What about the middle class? Bradley: Fuck 'em, bunch of wankers. Colin: Join us! We've got a manifesto! Bradley: And beards! Look at these beards. How can you deny them? You can't, that's what.)
