Take Two, Recap of Part One

A four minute video recapping chapters 1-12

Transcript

Twins are born to the Mulligan family

Extrovert Dylan, then introvert Lou

Best friends forever, arch enemies too

At school or at home, one thing remains true

They get into trouble, as boys will do.

A prank accidentally damages the neighborhood “haunted” house      

Dad says we’ll fix, tells the owner the plans

An old garbageman with time on his hands

Even his union mates find the boys fun

Honorary retired local sixty-one

Their mom works as the pastry chef at a downtown hotel

The boys hang out as she does the kneading

At a convention, tarot card reading

The seer won’t share Dylan’s results, instead

Its Lou that gets hit with panic and dread

High school starts carefree, ends badly

When Dylan’s genetic heart defect is found

The family decides to close rank around

Some good days, some bad, it’s all hard to say

But one night Dylan quietly slips away

Lou is lost, cast adrift

Moves to Seattle in hopes to start anew

But soon returns the same lost, lonely Lou

Long walks instead of school, he has no drive

Comes across the coffee shop Java Jive

Lou gets the job as the morning pastry chef at Java Jive

With mom’s hints, he rises to mediocre

Befriends the older handyman Roger

Computers and chess with a customer Tyr

Both will play roles in Lou’s future

Lou loses his dorm room as Roger gets evicted

With that all hope is gone without a trace

Until local sixty-one finds them a place

Money is a problem, as it is with many

Then Tyr hires Lou for his software company

Lou’s first day could not go any worse

Right away panic in the elevator

Who knew it would get even worse later

All his teammates are especially geeky

Who knew a first day could be so freaky

Lou knuckles down and begins work in earnest

He begins to get the lay of the land

Less dirty looks coming from Jonathan

With endless help from Ganesh and Priam

The end result is pandemonium

Suddenly things are looking up

When Tyr finds funds to complete the first phase

These are the happiest of happy days

Now sky high, inches from failure, kaput

There’s no denying that the game is afoot
