A WeeBe Querrian Halloween Special
A WeeBe Querrian Exclusive Interview with Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Headless Horseman and The Werewolf
Querrian: Hello, everyone. Welcome to my special Halloween interview. I am joined today by four icons of Halloween. Please welcome Frankenstein.
Frankenstein: Grrr.
Querrian: The Mummy.
Mummy: Mmmff mmmff
Querrian: The Headless Horseman
Silence
Querrian: And finally, The Werewolf
Werewolf: Growwwl.
Querrian: And for the purposes of trying to make sense of this all, please welcome Doctor Hillary Distendorf, renowned philosopher who will help translate our guests for our studio audience.
Dr. Hillary: Thank you, WeeBe. I believe all of your guests are feeling quite honored to be here with you today. There is a tremendous sense of welcome that emanates -
Querrian: Yes, thank you Doctor. Let's just get started, shall we?
Dr Hillary: Oh.
Querrian: So let's start with you, Frankenstein. Many people have classified you as a monster. Do you agree with that?
Frankenstein: Grrr. Aahrgh grr.
Querrian: Hm, I see. Yes. Quite interesting. Did you get that Doctor?
Dr. Hillary: I believe what Frankenstein is really feeling -
Querrian: Well, that's nice Doctor. But I'm sure we all know how he really feels about this all. Isn't that right, Frank? Can I call you Frank?
Frankenstein: Aahrgh! Grrr Aaahg.
Dr Hillary: I don't think he -
Querrian: You big baby. What do you think, Mummy?
Mummy: Mmmff mmm mmf.
Querrian: What? Can't you talk without that wrapped around your mouth?
Dr Hillary: The Mummy is probably experiencing an emotion right now that tells me -
Querrian: Oh, he told you something, did he? That's nice, Doctor. That's nice. I'm so glad we're connecting.
Dr Hillary: But you didn't even -
Querrian: But let's move on to the Headless Horseman. So, did you really kill Ichabod Crane?
Dr Hillary: Oh, he isn't quite happy with your line of questioning, now.
Querrian: Really? What gave that away? Ok, put the jack-o-lantern down. No need to throw it at me.
Dr Hillary: This aggression is really a release to express his -
Querrian: Well, whatever. I don't want him throwing his jack-o-lantern. And you, Werewolf, you just keep sitting there and staring out the window.
Werewolf: Howwwwwwl.
Querrian: Ok, Doctor, what's that all about?
Dr Hillary: The Werewolf is experiencing an emotion that transforms his inner self from placid well-mannerism to a form of animal aggression.
Querrian: Can someone translate that for me?
Mummy: Mmmff mmffll mmf
Querrian: Oh, now I see. Thank you for that insightful explanation, Mummy. Now getting back to Frank.
Frankenstein: Aaaarrgh.
Querrian: When did you last see your creator?
Frankenstein: Grr. Aaah ahrgh.
Dr Hillary: Frankenstein longs for the paternal nurturing that he failed to receive under the care of his creator. This feeling of abandonment -
Querrian: Oh, yeah. Sure, he said all that.
Mummy: Mmff. Mmmm mmmffll mmmff.
Querrian: Oh, so you want to be his mummy now?
Dr Hillary: I don't think -
Querrian: There's a surprise. Just do the translation.
Dr Hillary: Yes, I'm sorry.
Querrian: So, Headless Horseman. You were rumored to be a Hessian soldier. How do you feel about losing your head in the war?
Silence
Querrian: Well, Doctor?
Dr Hillary: He didn't say anything.
Querrian: Of course not. He's got no head. How can he talk? Tell me what you think he feels about it.
Dr Hillary: Well, indeed he was a Hessian soldier. He feels repressed as the forces within him battle for a certain purpose. His aggression -
Querrian: Ah, yes. We all understand. So he's pissed off, then?
Dr Hillary: Yes.
Querrian: Ok, well that's all you have to say.
Dr Hillary: I believe I'm catching on.
Querrian: Now, Frank, are you still frightened of fire?
Frankenstein: Grrr aaahrrgh grrr gaahrgh grrraah grr aaahrrgh grr. Grrrrrr aaaahh grr ahrgh.
Querrian: Doctor?
Dr Hillary: Yes, he is.
Querrian: That's it? Just yes? Ok, fine. Let's talk to the Werewolf. What is it? What's out there? What are you staring at?
Werewolf: Howwwwwwl.
Querrian: Yes, you've mentioned that before.
Dr Hillary: I believe what the Werewolf is expressing is the inner beast -
Querrian: You're doing it again, Doctor. Can't we just try to make any sense out of all this?
Mummy: Mmmff mmffll mmm mmff
Querrian: Well spoken. That comes from 3000 years of experience, I'm sure. So tell me, what makes you guys so scary?
Frankenstein: Aarrrgh. Grrr aahh ahrgh.
Querrian: Oh, right. You are not a monster.
Dr Hillary: Frankenstein is allowing his suppressed feelings to resurface. This has the effect of truly bringing his outward -
Frankenstein; Aaaaarrgh.
Querrian: Just as I thought, Doctor. Frankenstein just wants to be accepted for who he is.
Dr Hillary: That's what I was saying. I was saying that. If you would give me a chance -
Querrian: Well, that's all the time we have. I'm sure we all had a howling good time, right Werewolf? Hey, will you look at me?
Dr Hillary: The Werewolf has tapped into his animal instincts and digressed to -
Querrian: Sure, sure. We all heard that one before. I want to thank all of our guests for being here on my Halloween special. Join me next time for another WeeBe Querrian exclusive interview.
Frankenstein: Grrr aaahrgh.
Dr Hillary: Frankenstein has expressed -
Querrian: Tell him yes. Just tell him yes.
Mummy: Mmm mmff
Querrian: You too. No not you, Hessian. Put the jack-o-lantern down. Don't throw it at me. Security!
Blessings.
Sincerely,
-Liane Schmidt.
