The Last Flight to Moscow–Satire by Mort Laitner

Narrator:The last time we heard from our nefarious duo was when CNN reported that they attended the “Russian Adoption” meeting in Trump Tower.


We now find our favorite Russian spies back in the White House.

Boris: Natasha dahlink, ve just got a new assignment from our Fearless Leader.

Natasha: My villainous lover have you used your top secret decoder ring to translate the assignment?

Boris: Da, my caviar cutie. It says ve have to arrange for secret flights from Reagan International to Havana and then on to Moscow. They have only given us initials of the passengers they want transported. They are FedExing us special ankle bracelet disabling devises. We are to pick up the two gentlemen in their homes. rush them to the airport, get them on the private jet and accompany them to Moscow.

Natasha: Boris baby, vhat are their initials?

Boris: P.M. and R.G. Our Fearless Leader has offered them Russian citizenship, a yearly stipend and a condo in Moscow, and a dasha on Lake Nogoodnik.

Natasha: Vhen is this activity going to take place?

Boris: Vhen the President says the secret code vord “covfefe” on TV, ve go into action.

Natasha: Boris dahlink, it vill be so good being home in Moscow. I can’t vait until the Prez says that code vord. By the vay, vhat does covfefe mean?

Boris: My sweet smelling breath of vodka, It means nothing. The Fearless Leader made it up and told the Donald to use it in cases of emergency.

Stage Director Finds “The Stairs” Incredibly Moving

Published Post author

Stage Director and fellow high school classmate, Myrna Feldman, of Atlanta’s Lionheart Theatre Company—” August: Osage County, “Fiddler on the Roof” and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”—- writes us:

Dear Bobby, (My precollege name)

I have watched the film (The Stairs) a few times now and found it incredibly moving.  The story is truly a miracle  – is this what actually happened to your father?  It was very well cast (As a director, I can say that knowing how difficult the process can be.) 
 
Thank you for sharing a copy of the film.
Myrna
Yes, Myra the film represents what happened to my father.
I recommend that you read my book “A Hebraic Obsession” to learn the whole story. (Available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com)
 
Thanks for your very kind praise.
And by the way, we would really love for you to direct “The Stairs” on the Atlanta stage.
Mort
PS— The movie “The Stairs” is available for $20.00 (shipping and postage included) by way of this blog.

Save The Date— October 18, 2017

People have asked for over a year, “When can I see “The Stairs” in Washington State or in Oregon?”

We told them, “You can’t say we didn’t try.”

“We entered a bunch of West Coast film festivals and saw a bunch of West Coast rejections.” Note to readers: West Coast rejections are much more mellow.

Well thanks to Jill Murphy Long, of JML Films:
