| 1 | “Of course I’m the Book. I have stories for days and a vocabulary that’s really… what’s the word? Good! And I owe it all to my mom. See, my brother was a troublemaker, a real crime novel. So, my mom had to lay down the law… on me. So, I was good at everything, from school to sports. But when it came to performing, I was abhorrent. There’s that vocabulary again. That means awful. But I knew I was bound to make it. And these days, I’m a best seller, making over 4 billion dollars in the box office. That’s a lot of paper! Now I’m here with a cover song from last season's champion, on a mission to prank one special friend.” |
