Reprise


Dufferin Mall

COFFEE GUY #1: I like it when a character returns to a show after a prolonged absence. That's always fun.

BLAMB: If you appeared on my blog today, longtime readers would remember your character from three years ago. New readers would get a sense that there's history to much of the action. Everybody wins.

COFFEE GUY: The art of the reprise, my friend.

BLAMB: One of my favourite instances of a character returning is when Sinclair returns in the third season of Babylon 5 ...

LAURA: Holy smokes! You're still going on about Babylon 5?



BLAMB: Hey, it's Laura, my former girlfriend from years ago!

COFFEE GUY: It's a dream taking form, a returning character!

BLAMB: Have you met Matt, the world-famous Coffee Guy and Shakespearean actor?

LAURA: Wow, no.

BLAMB: When I start my blog the first dialogues were with the Coffee Guys, here at the Duff.

COFFEE GUY: Those crazy, wild times. I remember them well.

BLAMB: Hamlet!

COFFEE GUY: Huh?

BLAMB: You just quoted Hamlet.

COFFEE GUY: No, it's just my own observation ....

LAURA: Didn't the Coffee Guys used to have a song?

COFFEE GUY: A song of sadness. A mournful dirge. A sallow, sweet hymn of agony.

BLAMB: Twelth Night!

COFFEE GUY: No, still my own observations.

LAURA: Well, come on! Let's hear it! Belt out the Ballad of the Coffee Guys [reprise]!


Ballad of the Coffee Guys

originally posted Tuesday, November 11, 2002



Making the coffee, here at the mall.
Serving it daily, for one and all.
Grinding the beans, boiling the brew,
These are the things I must do.

The lattes are milky,
The coco-choco-mocha-cappachino-mocha-cho-chos are smooth.
It's what customers want,
Caffeine not booze.
The pay is lousy, but we get tips.
And must come to grips, with our sad situation.

Wednesday morning, I will be there.
Offering beverages to those who care.
Coffee for loonies, (but it's not Fair Trade)
Satisfies all those who crave.
All for a morning's crusade.*

*Sung to the tune of that Sting song, you know the one.
