Mr. Parker stood listening to his colleague read about the plight of Mel Gibson while he continued giving the gift of a soothing massage... he reached down for a smoothie as Stone finished and swished it around his mouth a little bit and started conversing in French:
"a-la-la!" (oh my, oh my) said Mr. Parker.
"c'est le folie! ca c'est sur!" (it's crazy, that's for sure) replied Mr. Stone.
Parker had started eating some giant prawns he had nearby him, sucking them and generally enhancing his French talk with French bon-vivant-ism in terms of enjoying his food....
"Mel, Mel, Mel, comment on arregler une probleme comme le Mel Gibson?" (Mel, Mel, Mel, how do you solve a problem like Mel Gibson?) asked Parker rhetorically making a vague allusion to the Sound of Music's famous song, 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?'
"Alors, ca serait une bonne chainson, quoi! 'Comment on arregler une probleme comme le Mel Gibson'" (Now that would be a great song, wouldn't it?! 'How do you solve a problem like Mel Gibson'), said and sang Stone.
While Parker and Stone enjoyed prawns and French language, Leonardo was being called from the room with the Amelie Pulin movie, the easel, Kiedis, the Rolling Stone reporter and Karen and Martha, they all pretty much called out together,
"Mr Da Vinci," your i-Phone is ringing!
"Ok, just press the blue button on the screen please!" called Leonardo from the glass pane where he was watching Mr. Hand finish his dance rendition of Metallica's 'Unforgiven' -- Da Vinci was wearing a small ear piece associated with his i-Phone and the call came through to him as he watched the end of Mr. Hand's performance with Michelangelo.
"Leonardo, it's Botticelli," said the voice over Leonardo's ear piece.
"Where are you? Still at Wright-Pat?"
"Yeah man, it's crazy over here, you wouldn't believe what's going on... over in Afghanistan, a bunch of the local women there have been morphing into giant ants and raging out of control all over the country."
"Morphing into giant ants???"
"Yeah man," said Botticelli in his raspy North American accent, "it's uber crazy man, 3rd and 4th wives, sometimes even 2nd wives are turning into giant ants and spurting acidic fluids from their mouths at all the people -- it's become a security issue for the military -- right now I'm in charge of keeping it all hidden from the Media."
Leonardo listened attentively, unsure what to think about it all -- as he listened he ambled down the corridor away from Michelangelo and came to another door with a glass pane like Mr Hand's quarter. Leonardo stopped before the next door down and looked through the pane at Parker and Stone within.... what he saw was Parker eating prawns and then moving his head (as he stood) over Stone's upturned head (who was seated)--- it appeared that Parker was feeding Stone the same way a bird feeds its chicks by masticating food and then dropping it over the upturned chick's beak--- for this is exactly what Parker and Stone were doing -- Stone, after catching the Lion's share of his ready-made puree in his upturned mouth swallowed his prawns, both players also seemed to be talking while they dined, at one point Parker picked up a bottle of wine and even shared some with Stone in the same way.
"Basically we need some way to break the deadlock, Leonardo, we need some kind of expert on flies or insects that manifest this kind of behavior like these acid squirting ants," said Botticelli.
"Ok, I think I might be able to help you," said Leonardo as he watched the strange feasting ritual within.
