The line provided by Matriarch Sarah is, "And the thunder rolls."
Mistress Shirley's Improv
She paces around the living room, waiting for him. Her breath hitches with every flash of lightning, but she dares not despair. Her heart can not bear even the idea of losing him and her eyes unconsciously flicker towards the empty driveway again. The sound of thunder makes her jump and she runs towards the window, foolishly believing the sound might have been something else and he had come home to her at last. Lightning illuminates her face as she stares unseeingly into the dark night, muttering to herself, "Where are you, Jasper?"
No answer comes and she feels that agonizing doubt creep up inside of her again, but she refuses to acknowledge it. He would not hurt her like that again. He had vowed never to touch that dwarf again. Tears prick her eyes, as the thunder and lightning set the ominous tone for the night. Her heart picks up again, when the phone rings and the thunder startles her, making her look at the ringing device in fear.
He has done it, he has cheated on her again. She slowly moves towards the telephone and listens to the voice on the other end. Surprisingly, it is not the voice of her friend Rosalie to inform her on Jasper's adultry. It is her father, Charlie and she furrows her brow in confusion. The thunder rolls and temporarily blocks out Charlie's words, making her ask again, "Why did you call me, dad?"
"Oh Bella. I'm so sorry, kiddo," his voice breaks and she can hear him struggling to get the next words out. "It's Jasper." She drops the phone, staring at it in disbelief. It could not be, not her Jasper. But the truth can not be denied, and her own father had to deliver the message. Falling to her knees, she weeps for the love she lost. She cries in mourning, as the lightning illuminates her face and the thunder rolls.
There you go. Now I'll let Matriarch Sarah have a go at the ridiculous line I gave her. *laughs*
Matriarch Sarah's Improv:
Sentence: "Flush the penny!"
I was always a trouble child as I was growing up; thief, vandalism, pranks.. You name it, I've probably done it. All my trouble making seemed to get worse when the new neighbors showed up with a honey blond boy in tow. His name was Jasper, and he became my best friend.
Jasper was a year older then me, so when I was six, he was seven. We had sneaked out of the house, and down the street to a pretty little things house. Her name was Bella, and I swore when I got old enough, I was gonna marry her some day. Her daddy was the Chief of Police of the little town we lived in. Forks barely seen any crime until my pappy and mammy popped me out, and even more when Jasper showed his face.
We looked like angels with our blond hair, pretty blue and green eyes, cherub faces with dimples, but that was our disguise, and it worked like a charm. We ended up picking the lock to the Swan residence, and hurried inside to the Chief's room where he knew for sure he keep his possessions.
We were in there for only a couple seconds when the gleam of copper caught my eye. It was a penny, but it didn't have the face of a penny. Either way, I snatched it up, and as we were preparing to run back out the house, footsteps up the stairs had us freezing. We bolted into the bathroom, and in my hurry to hide I dropped the penny in the toilet.
I shoved Jasper, and in return, he accidentally flushed the toilet."Jasper! Why did you flush the penny!?"
"I swear ta gosh, Peter, I didn't mean to flush the penny!"
The door to the bathroom opened seconds later, and Chief stood there in the doorway with little Bella behind his legs. "Boys, what are you doin'?"
"JASPER FLUSHED THE PENNY!"
And that was the story behind my first ass whooping. I still got Bella in the end.
Well. I think I totally FAILED that one. Maybe next time would be better. Damn you, Shirley.
