(The title of the eipsode is shown on a black background. Loud knocking on a door followed by clacking of heels can be heard)
(The intro fades out and a woman dressed in black is headed towards a door. There is someone on the other side knocking)
[Marika Psaltarian]
Welcome. Good morning
[Judith]
Good morning, hi!
[Marika Psaltarian]
Welcome to the Clergy.
[Judith]
Thank you
[Marika Psaltarian]
Come inside, yeah, come inside.
Here is your brooch. (Psaltarian hands Judith a brooch with the Grucifix on it)
[Judith]
Oh! Put on?
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yes, yes please, wonderful.
My name is Marika Psaltarian.
(Marika Psaltarian and Judith shakes hands)
[Judith]
Judith. Ehm, if you like, Miss.
(Marika Psaltarian and Judith starts walking through the Clergy)
[Marika Psaltarian]
My husband, Mr. Psaltarian, he work with the Clergy. He's out of the town right now.
Thing around here looks very strict and rigid. We have rules and restrictions, but in the end of the day we're in the entertainment business.
(Marika Psaltarian and Judith enters a room with three workers stationed at a desk each doing paperwork)
[Marika Psaltarian]
We come from the old circus world and we bend rules. But, you know with the aging and the growing stiff we become luddites sometimes.
[Judith]
Luddites? I don't know what that means.
[Marika Psaltarian]
Luddites it's someone who is against the technology and progress.It's why you are here.
(Marika Psaltarian leans in towards Judith and whispers)
[Marika Psaltarian]
You know about our secret mission?
(Judith shakes her head)
[Marika Psaltarian, whispers]
The clandestine operation, the socialist media stunt.
[Judith, whispers]
Do you mean "social media"?
[Marika Psaltarian, whispers]
Yes, that's what I said. It's a big hush-hush around here. You need to zip it. (Gestures a zipping motion infront of the lips)
[Judith]
Okay. (Repeats the zipping motion)
[Marika Psaltarian,regular voice]
You will be commanded by me and reported back to me.
(Judith nods)
[Marika Psaltarian]
But, you know... You arrive in a very interesting time. We have lot works to do.
And with the new album coming out and all those tour dates coming up, we need to start immediately.
(Judith is shown to her desk and sits down)
[Judith]
Cool! Uhm, besides, uhm, not mentioning social media, uhm, is there something I should avoid mentioning or, or doing?
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yes.
You need to avoid wearing a v-neck.
(We see the eyes of Frater Imperator and a dramatic sting is played)
[Frater Imperator]
V!
(Frater Imperator plucks the letter "V" aggressively off an old keyboard. He stands up in almost disbelief)
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
I will introduce you to him in a second.
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office)
[Frater Imperator]
Fucking V!
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
But just quickly, bring you up to speed.
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office. He bites his gloved hand, growling)
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
He's Frater Imperator, and he is technically the boss here.
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office)
[Frater Imperator]
I'm doing this. I'm gonna watch that hyped, hyped up shit
(Frater Imperator sits on the floor in front of the couch and aggressively presses the enter key on his computer)
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
Very long story short is that he was the singer for a few years...
(The clip is bouncing back and forth from Frater Imperators office where Frater Imperator is watching the music video to "Satanized" and the work room while Marika Psaltarian is a voice-over)
[Marika Psaltarian]
... but was then promoted to the height of the ministry when his mother passed away recently. It's actually it's a very important job but he feels like he has been demoted which is not true!
But that is how he feels. On top of that, he hasn't gotten his office yet...
(Frater Imperator shifts around on the edge of a clearly uncomfortable couch)
[Marika Psaltarian]
... since it's currently being built and decorated for him so he's just seated in that makeshift office whilst his own gaff is being prepared.
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office)
[Frater Imperator]
Look at this buffoon. (He mumbles in disbelief)
... What to say, really
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
To make matters worse, his successor is his fraternal twin that he didn't even knew about before the switch.
[Judith, whispers]
That's crazy!
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm sure he's going to be fine as time goes by and he matures into his role a bit. It's all about a sense of purpose and sometimes it takes a while. All good.
[Marika Psaltarian, whispers]
And just so you know, Frater... Cardi, I've always called him Cardi. See, I'm actually his aunt, but he grew up with my husband and I basically being his parents. He'll always be my little boy.
(Judith nods slowly)
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office, he's still watching the music video)
[Frater Imperator]
That's the new guy!?
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
It's complicated story
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office, he's still watching the music video)
[Frater Imperator]
Who the fuck is that?
(The clip continues in the work room)
[Marika Psaltarian]
It will make sense after a while.
(The clip is back in Frater Imperators office, he's still watching the music video)
[Frater Imperator]
It's all hyped. It's over. It's... Finally over.
(Marika Psaltarian pops her head in to Frater Imperators makeshift office)
[Marika Psaltarian, in a sing-songy voice]
Frater?
[Marika Psaltarian]
Hello
[Frater Imperator]
Oh, hello, hi.
(Frater stands up and trips over some papers. Marika Psaltarian sighs in disbelief. He assembles himself and sees Judith)
[Frater Imperator]
Hello
[Judith]
Hi!
[Frater Imperator]
I am F-f-f... Frater (Shakes Judiths hand)
[Judith]
Judith.
[Frater Imperator]
Judith? Nice to meet you, J-judith.
You can call me F. No, C. No, P! No, uh, Frater - Frather Imperator!
This is, this is, this is not my office. This is, uh, I'm waiting for a bigger one. My real room.
[Marika Psaltarian]
Good news. You know the face swap features? It's all set.
[Frater Imperator]
The face swap features..?
[Marika Psaltarian]
Darling, you know.
[Frater Imperator]
The shit video I just saw?
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yeah!
[Frater Imperator]
That bit?
(To Judith) Good news? (Judiths grins and nods)
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yeah!
[Frater Imperator]
Alright, yeah, oh yeah, it's all good. All good, you know.
(To Judith) I'm the boss around here...
[Marika Psaltarian]
He's the boss
[Frater Imperator]
... and if you have any questions you can ask me anything
[Marika Psaltarian]
He's the boss here. Yeah, you can ask me
[Frater Imperator]
Ask her! You can ask me something, but you should ask her. She knows more than I do.
[Marika Psaltarian]
And he's the boss.
[Frater Imperator]
But I am the boss.
So... There you go. Can you paint, by the way?
[Judith]
Yeah, I can... I can draw...
[Frater Imperator]
Good! Resourceful, I like that!
Well, uh, go off and do good stuff and... Work, work, work.
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yeah.
[Frater Imperator]
Welcome to the Clergy, welcome to the ministry.
[Marika Psaltarian]
Yup, yup so we g...
[Frater Imperator]
Let's have fun!
[Marika Psaltarian]
Let's go. (Nudges Judith towards the door)
[Frater Imperator]
Good stuff. (Sighs)
(Frater trips over more stuff and tuts as he flops down on the couch)
