OLTL SATIRE-PART THREE
An OLTL Satire – Part III – "Who The He!! Is Botrina Tran Buchanan??"
This is a work of fiction. This is meant to be satirical in nature.
WHAT HAPPENS:
1. SOD interviews Dim for a feature article.
2. Flo's got more scoop for Dim.
3. Does Bo finally meet Botrina?
Dim rushed to the press room where Dim was scheduled to give a feature
article for SOD. Dim saw Tim and the interviewer there with the
photographer.
"Tim…"
"Dim…"
"What are you doing here?" asked Dim.
"Jill sent me down to do the cover with you," said Tim.
"Why you? Why not JdP?" asked Dim.
"Jill says Max is just using Botrina and doesn't consider you guys a real
couple," said Tim.
"And… we are?" asked Dim.
"Well, we do look…cute together," said Tim.
"Excuse me," said Dim running out.
"Where's she going? The photographer can't stay long," said the interviewer.
"Dim! Dim! Where are you going?" yelled Tim.
Dim ran into the bathroom.
After five minutes Gina walked out and into the press room.
"Dim's blowing chunks in the bathroom. Upset stomach or something. Give Dim
another five minutes," said Gina.
"Well, I had to send the photographer away and I can only wait another five
minutes," said the interviewer.
"O.k.," said Gina walking out. Dim walked in after five minutes.
"Miss Witt, I've got to cut your article down to the Take Five section,"
said the interviewer.
"Fine by me," said Dim smiling.
"Do you have any hidden talents?"
"Ah, I didn't know I could act until now," said Dim.
"What do you like to spend money on?"
"Books. Law books," said Dim.
"What song always puts you in a good mood?"
"Bitch, by Meredith Brooks," said Dim.
"If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?"
"I wouldn't mind having light blue eyes," said Dim.
"What movie would you recommend?"
"Anastasia," said Dim, "Gotta go. I've got a gratious bathing suit scene
coming up."" And with that, Dim ran out.
Dim got to her dressing room late. Flo was all ready there.
"Dim, you've got a pile of mail," said Flo. Dim saw a stack of snail mail
on the dresser.
"Cool," Dim sat down and started to read her mail, "So, Flo, what kind of
mail to you get?"
Flo giggled, "Oh I get "I-love-Téa-with-Todd," mail; "I-hate-Téa-with-Todd"
mail; "You-better-not-sleep-with-Sykes" mail; and
"Your-niece-is-a-pain-in-the-ass" mail."
"Oh," said Dim, "It seems I've got "I-like-Botrina" mail; "I-hate-Botrina"
mail; and "Max-is-using-you" mail."
Flo picked up her script and read it. Then she threw it down disgusted.
"Got scoop?" asked Dim.
"It says here the therapist comes onto Téa. In front of Todd!!" said Flo,
"What kind of therapist would do that? This isn't The Bold and the
Beautiful!! I better go find Rog so we can get out of this one," said Flo
getting up and walking out. Just as quickly as she walked out, Flo stuck
her head back in, "Dim – Bob Woods is in the building. Looks like he's
planning a joke with Clint on Tim's dressing room. He's rigging it with
some kind of trip wire."
"Cool," said Dim, "I can do trip wires!" Dim looked out the door. Bob
Woods was gone. But Dim, who got a first time go in Land Navigation during
PLDC in the Army followed Bob Woods trail into… JFP's office.
"Who the he!! is Botrina Tran Buchanan??" demanded Bob. Dim stuck her head
to listen to the conversation.
"Botrina is your Vietnam love child," started JFP.
"Vietnam love child?" said Bob aghast.
"She works for Asa as a high powered executive. Max is scamming her for
money. She secretly lusts for Kevin…" continued JFP.
"I do?" muttered Dim.
"…But Joey wants here but we can't go there 'cos of the incest thing and
Nora can't stand Botrina. They got into a catfight today…" said JFP.
"And the fans buy this?" asked Bob.
Just then Dim felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Pam who walked into Jill'
s office with Dim.
"Guess who I found?" said Pam. PL was holding a stack of letters.
"Bob Woods, this is Dim Witt, who plays Botrina," said Jill making
introductions.v
"Dim… Wit?" muttered Bob – his mouth dropped.
"Two "t's" in Witt," said Dim.
"You… You're the Vietnam love child?" muttered Bob.
"Jill, we got mail," said PL.
"Read away," said JFP.
"We got a letter from Jackie that says Botrina is a great character. Really
fresh idea. Island Girl wrote in for the fifth time saying Botrina needs to
win best newcomer. Violet says Botrina keeps her LOL and we've got the
"I-like-Botrina" letters, "I-hate-Botrina" letters,
"Botrina-needs-to-dump-Max" letters, and the "How-come-Botrina-doesn'
t-look-Vietnamese" letters."
"I told you no one would pay attention to that little thing," said JFP.
"We've got to address this," said PL.
"O.k., BO had an affair with an American nurse who got anesnia and thought
she was Vietnamese…" said JFP.
Bob looked at Dim and rolled his eyes.
Dim rolled hers. Then Bob smiled.
"I get it now. Dim Witt," said Bob laughing.
"O.k., kids, go get your new scripts…" said JFP shooing Dim and Bob out of
the office.
"You're pulling the wool over JFP. You're scamming her…" whispered Bob to
Dim.
"Sometimes I wonder who's scamming who," whispered Dim back.
Dim walked into her dressing room. Flo was there chugging water.
"So, Flo, did you get out of the therapist thing?" asked Dim.
"Yeah. I told JFP I had a cold sore but I've got 48 hours to cure it…"
started Flo.
"Why 48 hours?"
"I've got a really hot S&M kiss coming up with Todd…" replied Flo.
"What this time?" asked Dim.
"Well, you know Téa had those handcuffs she acquired at the lodge…"
"Hey, aren't Todd and Téa in therapy? What kind of therapy are you going
through?" muttered Dim.
"Got a year?" asked Flo.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:
1. Another catfight with Nora.
2. Botrina is named performer of the week.
3. Flo got scoop
4. JFP makes Botrina do press with… Kevin?
