The coach coughs.

coach: right. Anywho, now when you say, I am full of resolve and plan to support the surge, give the idea that you mean it, okay?

moron*: mean it? Hmmm, okay, I'll do my best.

moron* licks his lips.

moron* licks his lips again.

moron*: I am full of....

coach: there you go again!

moron*: what?

coach: you licked your lips!

moron*: so what if I licked my fucking lips!

coach: it will be perceived as insincerity.

moron*: what the fuck are you talking about??

coach: studies have show that people who lick their lips prior to a speech mean they don't believe what they are saying...

moron*: So I can't lick my lips because some egghead with a high forehead says I'm, me, mr. p! is insincere??? Well fuck him!

coach: remember, you are trying to improve your image and project sincerity...

moron*: christ in a hand basket, argg, okay.

coach: thank you, now try again.

moron* pauses for a moment, the tip of his tongue poised just below his upper lip. Beads of sweat form oh his brow. His mouth quivers. Finally, he licks his lips.

Moron*: damn shit piss!!! I can't do it. I'm sincere and stuff damn it! I mean, I feel bad when bodies come home, regardless if I go to their funerals or not! And those Iraqi twits, yeah, I gave to order to bomb them back to the stone age, but I still feel something for them! but this licking of the lips shit, what the fuck is with that. sigh...

morons* assistant comes in.

assistant: mr. president the first lady wants to chat with you.

moron* rolls his eyes, sure let her in.

pickles: georgie, I just wanted to tell you that I know you work hard and I appreciate and love you.

moron* looks back at her, his eye begins to twitch, finally out shoots his tongue and he licks his lips.

moron*: I love you to.
