Director : Wombat
Just then....
Wombat : "Haiya... why would I need a paper bag anyway?"
Dr. Liew : "And why not?"
Wombat : "This target will only be visible under ultraviolet light right?"
MysticMan : "Yup."
Wombat : "So as long as I don't go to a disco, or anywhere that has those fangled UV or Black Light, I should be okay."
Rkaru : "The man's got a point there."
Dr. Liew : "Awwww... you no fun wan."
StratMan : "So how are you feeling now Wombie? Want a smoke?"
Wombat : "Smoke? Whatever for? You should quit you know? Smoking can cure lung cancer."
Dr. Liew : "Isn't that medically incorrect marn?"
Wombat : "Nope. No more lungs, no more cancer."
Dr. Liew : * Thump *
StratMan : "Oh I will quit alright. I will quit the day I got married."
Wombat : "I know I know. There's mention of Nike shoes and Heinz tomato ketchup too."
Wing Hoe : "Huh?"
Wombat : "Inside joke ler. Never mind."
And then....
KK : "Hmm... how come my handphone no signal wan?"
KK GF : "Mine also no signal. What about you all ah?"
All Kommies looked at their hand phones : "Alamak... true ler... all no signal."
Just then some guy at the next table who is so frustrated at the fact that his handphone also has no signal that he started playing all the ring-tones on his handphones one by one to pass the time....
Wombat : "Oh no... how come my heart start to beat very fast wan ah?"
Mikka : "Wombat is having a relapse! Call an ambulance!"
Guy next table : "Huh? My brain start to feel very warm.... AAAAAAAAAAARGGGGH! MY BRAIN!" * Thump *
Wombat : "Hmm... my heart beat is back to normal now...."
StratMan : "Me thinks Wombie's relapse has something to do with the guy at the next table, who is now a vegetable. Wombie, go away from us for a while?"
Wombat walks away....
Rkaru : "Hey my hand phone got signal oledi."
StratMan : "Wombie come back now."
KK : "Now no more signal again."
MysticMan : "Mein gott Wombie is now a walking mobile phone jammer!"
StratMan : "I think so. And probably a walking microwave tower too, by the looks of that guy next table who insisted on playing his stupid ring tones."
Wombat : "Gee... I should be real popular at cinemas, funerals and church mass now. Hey Doc, let me play with your laser pointer a bit?"
Dr. Liew hands Wombat his laser pointer.
Wombat : "My gawd... what is this????" <drops laser pointer.>
Mrs. Wombat : "What happened?"
Wombat : "When I touched the laser pointer, a HUD display appeared in my field of vision, like it is right in my eyes. It is gone now."
StratMan : "Pick up the laser pointer again."
Wombat : <Picks up pointer> "It's back again, and is displaying the distance to whatever I point it at. There's a built-in cross hair too, and I can zoom in and out at the target just by thinking about it."
MysticMan : "Here, try holding this senduk."
Wombat : "Same thing. Same effect ler."
Rkaru : "Mein gott! Wombie got a built-in HUD targeting system! Imagine if my missus get her hands on that."
Mrs. Wombat : <Taps out SMS message furiously on her handphone and sent to Mrs. Rkaru...>
HCND : "What else have they done to you marn? Looks like your IJN trip is not that simple after all."
Wombat : "I do sneeze a lot lately."
Dana : "Sneezing? Does you eye lids twitch a lot too?"
Wombat : "That too. Why?"
Dana : "They say that if you sneeze a lot and have twitches of eye lids, it usually mean that you are sensing something."
Wombat : "Ahhhhh choo!!!!!" <eye lids twitch twitch...> "Like now?"
Ignoramus : "Hoi you there! Why are you whacking our buffet ah? We have already paid for the whole spread!"
Buffet whacker : "Oops sorry."
Wombat : "Ahhhhh choo!!!!!" <More eye lids twitch twitch...>
Dana : "More?"
Wombat : "Err waiter, tell your security guard that the guest who has just checked out has whacked a hair drier from your hotel room."
StratMan : "Mein gott Wombie has got ESP!"
Wombat : "No wonder I was out for 4 hours. Who has done this to me???? Not that I don't like it."
Meanwhile a few tables away....
John Clark : "You will need all that soon, Tovarich. You will need it all."
