CUT TO: Don Malta's congratulation thread. We hear the music 'The Godfather Tarentella' -day :


DON CARDI : (rehearsing his lines as SC passes him) "Don Malta, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your website...on the day of your 17,000th post. And may your next 17,000 be a masculine 17,000."

SICILIAN BABE: "DonMichaelCorleone, that man over there is talking to himself. See that scary guy over there"


CARDI'S VOICE : "...on your 17,000th post..."

DMC : (after glancing over at Cardi) "He's a very scary guy."


SB : "Well, who is he? What's his name?"


DMC : " His name is Don Cardi -- an' he helps Geoff out sometimes."


[Cardi stands up, facing DMC and SB, seemingly coming toward them]

SB : " Oh, DMC, wait a minute; he's coming over here..."

SC (appearing in view) "DMC!"

DMC :"Oh!"

SC: (embracing Michael) "Heh...! You look terrific!"

DMC : "My moderator, SC -- this is Sicilian Babe."

(then, SC exits to sign Cardi into the Don's website)

CUT TO: The General Discussion Forum, Don Malta's website -day


DON CARDI : (after kissing Geoff's left cheek): " Don Malta, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your website... (then, after realizing he messed up his rehearsed lines, he fails to recover) ..on the day of your 17,000th post. And I hope that the next 17,000 be a masculine 17,000. I pledge my ever-ending loyalty." --

[Members acting like kids post in the thread and then are banned by SC]

(then, as Don Cardi hands Don Malta a case full of Stolis )

"For the weekend."


DON MALTA : "Thank you, Cardi, my most valued friend."


DON CARDI : "Don Malta, I'm gonna leave you now, because I know you are busy."


DON MALTA : " Thank you."


[SC signs Cardi off]
