Third Poker Dog: How did he whip out that badge?


Dog: Huh?


Third Poker Dog: Dogs don’t have thumbs


Deg: I do too.


Third Poker Dog: Oh? Show us.


Deg: Right here. (raises paw)


Third Poker Dog: I knew it! No thumbs!


Dog: But...we’ve all been holding cards.


Third Poker Dog: Damn it, you’re right.


First Poker Dog: What does this have to do with the meaning of life?


Cat: The meaning of life is to serve me.


First Poker Dog: Where the hell did you come from? Get him boys!


Second Poker Dog: Wait, I don’t have thumbs either! Someone stole my thumbs!


Scene: Cat goes up to Dog.  


Cat: This is a silly place.  Let’s go home.  The emergency backup human has left the closet open and you can eat my poop.


Dog: REALLY?


Cat: Yes, really.

Act II


Scene (Interior): Time has passed, there is a lot of money on the table.


First Poker Dog: So, what do you think about the existential nature of the universe?

Dog: I … um … er … (suddenly, anxiously starts licking his behind)


First Poker Dog: That’s not a bad idea.


Second Poker Dog: Is it licking my behind or your behind?


Third Poker Dog: Or licking my balls?


First Poker Dog: Not all of us have balls, how can that be the meaning of life?


Second Poker Dog: (beat) Not any more.


Dog: Drinking out of the toilet?

Deg: So do you guys actually play poker? I haven’t seen any real poker playing, just dogs posing and pretending to be playing poker. What’s actually going on here?

(Dog whips out a police dog badge)


First Poker Dog: Now you interrupted my speech about the difference between Aristotelian thought and the correlation to later ecclesiastical reforms with St Thomas Aquinas.

Second Poker Dog: Not the angels dancing on the head of a pin, again.
