After “long-hugging”, body-swapping is the number one tool in the relationship counsellor’s arsenal. Just look how a simple body-swap adventure can resolve conflicts, build empathy, and end up with both parties teaming up for one last heist.
STEVE
I hate you Joe. I have no understanding of your life and you disgust me for having different priorities
JOE
I feel the same way about you. I see no way we can respect each other, let alone be friends.
STEVE
OK so now we’ve sorted that out let’s take shelter from this thunderstorm under a sheet of corrugated metal
JOE
I hope we don’t get
BOTH
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!
THEY BOTH GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
STEVE
Oh no we just did exactly that
JOE
Who said that?
STEVE
You did! I mean I did!
BOTH
WHUUUUUUH?
STEVE
Ew gross I’ve got spiders in my pockets
JOE
That is why I behave badly sometimes, because I am scared of the spiders in my pockets.
STEVE
I see.
JOE
More to the point, Why have my balls been dragged back and fingered into my arsehole
STEVE
That is why I sometimes do not treat you with respect, because I am fixated on the fear that birds want to peck my balls off through my paper trousers
JOE
I also see. I love you Joe
STEVE
I love you too Steve
JOE
I think the only way to swap bodies back is to bust each others nut into our reflections in a puddle.
STEVE
Then what are we waiting for! I’m gonna bust your wonky nuts faster than you can say “heebie jeebies”
JOE
Wait! It has to be at the same time!
STEVE
Too late baby
[STEVE BUSTS A NUT]
[JOE THEN BUSTS A NUT]
JOE
Oh no! Our nuts were asynchronously bust. We have created a temporal body-swap rift and turned into a dinosaur
STEVE
C’est la vie, baby. Hop onto my stegs and let’s do one last heist
