NICE JEWISH DR.PHIL
Dr. Phil helps Esther apply to be
Queen by first “turning down the Jewish.”
DR. PHIL, A BALD MAN WITH A KIPPAH,
WALKS OUT.
DR PHIL
Have you ever wanted to change something
about you? Or maybe you want to change something about a spouse
or a loved one. I’m Nice Jewish Doctor Phil, and I -- can
help you. Today, I’ll be helping a young woman who is honest
enough with herself to know that there are some things she needs
to change- please welcome to the show, Esther.
ESTHER WALKS ON TO THE STAGE. SHE
TAKES A SEAT ACROSS FROM DR. PHIL.
DR PHIL
Tell us why you’re here, Esther.
ESTHER
(thick Long Island accent)
Well you see, Nice Jewish Dr. Phil, I’m supposed to meet
King Achashverosh...
DR PHIL
Whoa that's a mouthful. My momma always
said, “If a name is that long, don’t stand in the
kitchen!”
DR. PHIL LAUGHS LOUDLY TO HIMSELF.
ESTHER STARES, PUZZLED.
ESTHER
So, anyway, I’m supposed to meet
the king, but my Uncle Mordechai told me not to let the guy know
that I’m Jewish.
DR PHIL
And why is that?
ESTHER
Well, the King will not marry a Jew -
something about his right-hand man hating them and plotting their
destruction. Anyway, long Megillah short--the King cannot know
that I am one of the Chosen People.
DR PHIL
Yes, a comment from the audience...
AN AUDIENCE MEMBER STANDS UP. SHE
IS AN OLD JEWISH WOMAN WITH BABUSHKA ON HER HEAD- YET SHE TALKS
LIKE A SASSY BLACK “JERRY SPRINGER” WOMAN.
AUDIENCE MEMBER
I say you tell that king to shove it
right where the sun don’t shine.
AUDIENCE APPLAUSE
ESTHER
But you see--
AUDIENCE MEMBER
(holds up a hand) Kvetch to the hand,
‘cause The Bubby ain’t listening.
