Episode 6: The Makeup Incident
(Gerard is thirteen, Mikey is ten)
Mikey is using the camera for a school project.
Mikey: * moving action figures around * “And the pilgrims KILLED the Indians!” * Suddenly spins around *
(Gerard walks past with black eyeliner and purple eyeshadow)
Mikey: “Gee, what happened to your face?”
Gerard: “It’s eyeliner, and eyeshadow.”
Mikey: “ You look dead.”
Gerard: “That’s the point.”
Mikey: “You look like a girl.”
Gerard: * very angrily * “No I don’t!”
Mikey: “Okay, sorry, you don’t look like a girl…”
(awkward moment of silence)
Mikey: “Gerard?”
Gerard: “Yeah?”
Mikey: “ Can you put some on me?”
Gerard: “Uhh… okay?”
Mikey: “Yay!”
Gerard: “Okay, let’s go up to our room.”
Mikey: (picks up the camera and whispers into it while going up the stairs behind Gerard) “And now, Gee is gonna make me look like a dead person…”
(Mikey sets the camera down on the dresser, facing the desk)
Gerard: “Okay, uhhh… sit on the chair, and try not to move.”
Mikey: “Okay! "
(Gerard takes the black eyeliner and starts to put it on mikey)
Gerard: * frustrated * “Stop twitching!”
Mikey: “I can’t help it!”
Gerard: * starts again, and almost pokes mikey in the eye * “Stop it!”
Mikey: “Deal with it!”
Gerard: *very angrily * "You want me to do this or not?!"
Mikey: * quietly * "sorry… "
(Gerard finishes the eyeliner and takes out the purple eyeshadow)
Mikey: "Yay! Purple! "
(Gerard puts on a normal amount)
Gerard: * monotone voice * "There, now you look dead too, happy?"
Mikey: "It needs more purple..."
Gerard: "Well you’re not using MY makeup, this cost me ten bucks."
Mikey: * sadly * "okay… "
(Gerard walks out of room, Mikey looks around suspiciously, grabs Gerard's eyeshadow)
Mikey: * quietly * "More purple… " *puts on a grotesquely excessive amount of purple *
Mikey is walking back downstairs, with the camera (still on)
Donna: * making a sandwich at the table, looks over at Mikey. Screams. * “OH MY GOD! Mikey?! What happened to you?! Did you get beat up?!!!" * A little bit more angrily * “Did your brother do it?! "
Mikey: "No! Mom-"
Donna: "Gerard Arthur way get down here! "
Mikey: "Wait! Mom, no, it’s just m-"
Gerard: * walks in, looks at mikey, is pissed off * "My makeup! How much did you use? All of it? You are so dead! "
Donna: "Gerard! You put makeup on mikey?!"
Gerard: * still pissed * "Not THAT much!"
Mikey: "I needed more purple... "
Gerard: "You need to buy me new eyeshadow!"
Donna: "When did you get makeup? "
Gerard: "Bought it …" * looks at mikey * "With my own money! So you’re paying me back! "
Mikey: "Okay … So mom, you think it looks good? "
(awkward silence)
Donna: "Uhh…. Go take it off… "
Mikey: "oh… "
