Rebranding Gemini
(SCENE: a corporate board room. CASTOR and POLLUX, the Gemini Twins, face each other at the conference table)
CASTOR: I don’t like a lot of the negative things I’ve been seeing out there about us.
POLLUX: Well, you know how it is… haters gonna hate.
CASTOR: True. But still, I think we should put on a PR push. Maybe… a name change!
POLLUX: Rebranding! I love it! What did you have in mind?
CASTOR: Hmmm. Instead of “Gemini,” how about… Funzilla?
POLLUX: Hmmm. We are fun, but that doesn’t help with the “lacking depth” thing we get hit with sometimes. Maybe… Thinkmaestro?
CASTOR: Oh, good! But, maybe not fun enough.
POLLUX: Twinpixie?
CASTOR: Sounds too much like a prescription drug. Doublebrain?
POLLUX: Too “split personality” for me. Cantdecide?
CASTOR: Me neither.
POLLUX: No, I meant “Cantdecide” as a… never mind.
CASTOR: Charmayak?
POLLUX: Too Pokemon.
CASTOR: I know! Mastermind!
POLLUX: Not Pokemon enough. Hmmm… Multitool?
CASTOR: Let’s avoid anything with “tool” in it. Oh, oh, I’ve got it! It’s perfect!
POLLUX: Oh, tell me! Tell me!
CASTOR: How about… The Sign That Makes The Right Choice Quickly And Always Sticks With It?
(SCENE: A darkened bedroom. GEMINI sits up in bed suddenly, startled)
GEMINI: Well, that was weird. I wonder what it meant…? (GEMINI pauses to consider, then picks up the cell phone) Siri, send a text message to all my contacts.
SIRI: What do you want to say?
GEMINI: Hey everyone, exclamation point. It’s my birthday, and you’re all invited to my place this Saturday at 7 PM for an awesome party and rebranding session, exclamation point.
(GEMINI sits in silence for a while, thinking)
SIRI: Are you done, or would you like me to send that?
GEMINI: You know Siri… I’m just not sure.
