(Kerry is busy typing away at the computer.)Ludwig: Kerrin!
Kerry: Yes, what is it? And don’t call me that.
Ludwig: Have you got an idea yet?!
Kerry: I’ve thought for days since I became a tourist, but still, none.
Lemmy: I’m just dying to have a submission from you, my friend!
Kerry: I’ll never let you down. We have been friends since Koopergarten, after all.
Lemmy: I’ll never let you down, either, Kerry.
Kerry: Anyway, Ludwig, why do you call me by my real name, Kerrin, instead of Kerry, which I go by and like more?
Ludwig: Well...because I once met a Koopa named Karrin in school and became very fond of her, and Kerrin is closer to Karrin.
Lemmy: Hey, you guys! We just started an interview!
(Kerry’s eyes light up.)
Kerry: An interview? Oh, boy! I could record it, and you could post it!
Lemmy: Okay, let’s go!
Kerry: Go where?
Lemmy: I just had a new auditorium built so my tourists could have interviews there.
Kerry: I thought we were going to do it here.
(Lemmy starts to laugh at Kerry’s joke while Ludwig rolls his eyes.)
Kerry: Let’s go already, okay?
Ludwig: I agree, Kerri—
Kerry: DON’T CALL ME KERRIN!
(Kerry chases Ludwig around the room while Lemmy cracks up at the scene.)
Ludwig: (out of breath) This is taking too long.
Lemmy: I’ll lead you to where it is.
(Kerry and Lemmy are about one step away from the door when…)
Ludwig: (while wheeling something with a cloth over it) I need to bring this there, so wait up, Kerrin—
(A jar of pickles lands on Ludwig’s head and he is knocked out.)
Lemmy: Kerry, come on!
(Lemmy and Kerry walk out the door while Kerry drags Ludwig and Lemmy pushes the thing that Ludwig was holding earlier.)
Lemmy: Kerry, you don’t have to be so dramatic over people calling you Kerrin.
Kerry: I…know.
Lemmy: But it was funny! And you know how I like funny stuff.
At the auditorium…
Lemmy: There’s a hose backstage? I never knew.
Kerry: But you never know when it will be useful!
(Kerry fills a nearby bucket and dumps it on Ludwig.)
Ludwig: (waking up) Kerry, you don’t have to be so dramatic over—
Kerry: I know. And FINALLY you called me Kerry!
Lemmy: I need to announce this interview over the LL speaker system.
Kerry: Now I know how you call an audience over to watch an interview.
Ten minutes later…
Lemmy: (after looking behind the curtains) An audience is coming. Let’s go onstage!
Onstage…
Lemmy: Welcome to…
Audience: Lemmy’s Interview Show!
Lemmy: Yes! And now, today’s interview will be starring…the tourist, Kerry Koopa, as the interviewer, and the well-known inventor Koopaling, Ludwig, as the interviewee!
Kerry: Now Ludwig, would you prefer to stand or sit down?
Ludwig: Stand. I am used to standing while I am experimenting in my lab.
Kerry: Okay, first question. How do you set up your lab in your room?
Ludwig: Uh...Didn’t you do the first question in the Update Center already?
Kerry: I guess you have a point.
Ludwig: Well, to answer your question, my room is mostly my lab.
Kerry: But where do you sleep?
Ludwig: Unlike a regular, simple bed, like the other Koopalings have, I built an electric bed for myself.
Kerry: Why would that be necessary?
Ludwig: Although I have the biggest room, most of it is lab area. That means I have to hide my valuables in my bed. When Mario comes and tries to pinch some, he’ll get the shock of his life.
(Mario screams.)
Lemmy: Mario, you know the rules.
Mario: No I don’t.
Lemmy: The audience is not allowed to talk until audience question time.
Mario: But I-a wasn’t talking!
Lemmy: Rules are rules.
Kerry: But how do you avoid getting shocked yourself, Ludwig?
Ludwig: I always keep the remote control with me. When I go to bed, the latest of all the Koopalings because I spend a lot of time inventing, I take the remote control out and press a button. The electric field stops.
Kerry: What if you lose the remote control?
Ludwig: I installed a control panel on my bed. I could use that if I lost the remote control.
Kerry: Couldn’t Mario just disable the electric field that way?
Ludwig: Nah, it’s pretty complicated. He has to enter the password.
Kerry: Can’t one of your siblings take your valuables when you’re sleeping at night?
Ludwig: JEEZ, you ask too many questions! I’ll explain everything in one go. I put an electric field in my doorway. When I enter my room for the last time of the day, I activate a panel on my wall, and this activates the electric field. When I get out of bed, I activate the electric field around it. After working a little on my current invention, I deactivate the electric field in the doorway and walk out to breakfast.
Kerry: Okay, I’ve learned enough. Second question: How do the Koopalings choose their rooms?
Ludwig: When they are born, they sleep in Bowser and Clawdia’s room. When they are an Earth month old and are ready to sleep by themselves, they take a tour of the rooms and select the one they want. As I was a natural-born scientist, I immediately wanted the biggest room so I could keep all my inventions in there.
Kerry: All right. Third question: Do you spend a lot of time working on your inventions?
Ludwig: Of course! I work on my inventions so much that I even try to work on them while in the dungeon! I even use them to help Bowser. I built the Doomships and many other tools.
Kerry: So you invented the Minimizer and the Megamorph Belt in Mario Party DS?
Ludwig: You got it!
Kerry: And Megaleg in Super Mario Galaxy?
Ludwig: Right again!
Kerry: And the Koopa Cruiser in Superstar Saga?
Ludwig: Since the Koopa Cruiser also appeared in Partners in Time, it concludes that I didn’t invent it. However, I built a new one after the old one got destroyed years ago.
Kerry: Okay! Time for audience—
Ludwig: Wait! I want to show the audience one of my inventions!
Kerry: So that was the thing covered with cloth that you had before.
Ludwig: Right.
Kerry: Sure, you can show it! But what should we call this moment?
Ludwig: Uh, how about Ludwig’s Invention Showing?
Kerry: Great!
Ludwig: Here—
(Ludwig pulls the cloth off the invention.)
Ludwig: —is the Lucky Fortune Roulette Wheel!
(The audience oohs.)
Ludwig: This wheel took me a lot of time to make. It is unpredictable! Spin the wheel as shown…
(Ludwig spins the wheel.)
Ludwig: …and lift the flap here!
(Ludwig lifts the flap on the section the pointer stopped on.)
Ludwig: It says: a wedding cake! Now, open the compartment right here…
(Ludwig opens the compartment close to the bottom of the wheel.)
Ludwig: See, a wedding cake comes out! Now who wants it?
Morton: ME!
(Ludwig tosses the wedding cake to Morton and it smashes on his face.)
Ludwig: This incredible invention took ages to build! I can’t exactly explain why it works, but it is great for prizegivings at events! Thank you for listening to my presentation.
Kerry: And now, audience questions! Seat EGAD!
E. Gadd: The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 bio states that you only eat candy and fried food. I also know that you like chocolate and lox. I know chocolate is candy, but do you like fried lox?
Ludwig: Of course! Lox is lox, even when fried!
Kerry: Seat CARRIERPIGEON!
Birdley: FYI! FYI! FYI!
Ludwig: For your information WHAT?
Kerry: Seat YOOPA!
Karma: What do you get if you cross Birdley with a Piranha Plant?
Ludwig: Hmmm…a freak monster?
Karma: No, a bird that FYI’s your ear off!
Ludwig: Hahaha! That’s a good one!
Kerry: Seat CHEDDAR!
Mario: Can-a you invent-a cheese that’s-a absolutely delicious!
Ludwig: I’ll try. (whispering to Kerry) And use it as bait to catch Mario.
Kerry: Seat FROG!
Wart: Can you help me become the ruler of Sub-con?
Ludwig: NO! I’m on Bowser’s side.
Bowser: Shame on you, Brother. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Lemmy: Okay, end—
Kerry: Wait! I think Ludwig deserves a prize for being the lucky interviewee!
(Kerry runs backstage and rolls in the Lucky Fortune Roulette Wheel.
Kerry: Mind if I use this?
Ludwig: Nope. It’s all yours, my friend.
Kerry: Okay, spin the wheel!
(Ludwig spins the wheel.)
Kerry: It says: a housecleaning robot building kit!
Ludwig: (after retrieving the prize) Thanks. Bowser will be so happy with this. He has trouble keeping the castle clean!
Lemmy: This is the end of today’s Interview Show! Now, end transmission!
