REX-HUNNY

Rex-Hunny

…Rex-Hunny, Harvey just will not leave us alone! He’s made a mess of the neighborhood with his partying. He’s closed down the bars and restaurants with his shenanigans. The maid can’t get here and the chauffeur is missing. The mess from Harvey’s partying is filling the streets with detritus, and some say it is going to take years to fix the roadways and buildings because of Harvey’s partying. Rex-Hunny, Harvey is a monumental disaster. Can’t you and your friends make him disappear? Throw some cold water on him or something!

What do you mean, no? You get rid of politicians all the time with your money and power. Why can’t you make Harvey leave also? Is it that Gaia thing the therapist talks to you about? Does Gaia still give you nightmares? Rex-Hunny, I think Harvey is that nightmare come to life–and everyone is now sharing your nightmares because you ignored the truth. And you know what is worse, Rex-Hunny? Harvey has made it quite clear that after he leaves, his friends are going to arrive and they are even worse–

No, he didn’t say when. All he does is storm around the place–going in slow circles–breaking things and threatening everyone.

Rex-Hunny, you’re not listening. Harvey says his friends will be even more intense. Plus, they are going to stay around for longer periods of time. If they arrive one after the other how will we ever recover? The Club is already underwater from repairs! Are you listening to me, Rex-Hunny?

What do you mean if Donny visits, Harvey will leave? Rex-Hunny, one disaster does not mean the other disaster does not exist.

Rex-Hunny, listen. There are people dying and the neighbors are getting upset with us–not Harvey.

No. It’s not just the destruction everywhere. People are upset because you and your friends said Harvey could not exist in our lifetime and here he is, sitting in every living room he wants to visit–or what’s left of them–and none of the neighbors can stop him.

You’re not listening, again. Rex-Hunny, those nasty scientists–you know the ones you say are unimportant–are claiming Harvey confirms what they have been saying years. We’re in trouble now, not fifty years in the future.

What? Spray him? Don’t give me that BS. You can’t pull the rabbit out of the hat with sprays. Those nasty-scientists were right. Aerosols sprays are not going to get a partier like Harvey to disappear. He is already here–and he has more friends on the way! Rex-Hunny, you have been peddling the aerosol solution for getting rid of undesirables like Harvey in our neighborhood for years. When are you going to face it? You’re just flat-out wrong. Harvey is the proof. Sprays will not solve the problem of Harvey and his friends–or even delay them. Harvey and his friends are here, now.

What do you mean who says? Just look out the window. Huh, you’ll get back to me?

Rex-Hunny, I just got off the phone with our Ricky and Scotty. Even they are angry with us. Do you know how stupid Ricky and Scotty look now? No. I am not going to tell that fairy tale about Old King Cole. They don’t believe it anymore. Irving just told them–and everyone else–that you knew about Harvey and his friends decades ago and instead of doing something you let them just storm into the neighborhood…Don’t you dare put me on hold!

What?

No, Rex-Hunny, I don’t think the neighbors are going to believe me if I tell them you didn’t know that Harvey and his friends would make a mess of things with their partying. This is a terrible situation getting worse by the day and people think you are to blame. When are you going to deal with the truth?

What do you mean why? Because you had the power to tell people the truth about Harvey, his friends, and their wicked ways. You could have stopped them. Instead, you directed efforts to hide the truth about Harvey, Sandy, and the rest making things far worse than they had to be.

Rex-Hunny, you are a criminal. Seriously? On hold, again? Rex-Hunny, you are also a coward…
