34th Monday in Ordinary Time
Deacon Robert Banet
Alec is back!
What’s all the fuss about?
Fuss is right. He’s hired a three-piece combo together with emcee. He’s having it catered by Teibel’s.
But what’s it for?
For Alec, that’s who!
That no-good brother of mine!
What do you mean, no-good?
He left a number of years ago. Asked dad for his share of the business.
What did he do with the money, invest it?
Invested it! He invested it all right! Invested it in whiskey and wild women! Last I heard he was eating out of Mac Donald’ dumpsters.
But aren’t you glad now that he’s home?
Why should I be glad? Here I’ve been slaving at the firm all this time and dad has never given me so much as a roasted peanut!
He’s calling for you. He wants you to come in and join the party.
Tell him I’m busy.
