Suddenly it all makes sense. Everything falls in place. Jamal hired Ethan to act like my friend. Ethan got me to trust him. How did Jamal get my material? Ethan. THAT'S why he was scribbling I his notebook after every punchline I told in our practice session! And that's why I saw him walking away from practice thirty minutes too late! He saw I was getting suspicious, so he "left" so I would unveil my material. He must've been hiding behind the bushes.
So that's why Jamal paid him off. He was just using Ethan to get to my material so Jamal could have a good act.
That's evil! But...one thing still doesn't make sense. The judges. Why were they giving the implication that they didn't like my act?
Reverse alphabetical order! My school did the tryouts in reverse alphabetical order. Which means Woods comes before Price. The judges were confused because they had already HEARD the jokes I was telling them!
I'm a genius! I have everything I need!
...except material.
That's when I hear the only sound in the world that I don't want to hear right at this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Leo Price!"
