from Movie Nite ACT VI

You have a penis & we’re so excited about your penis that we have to try it out right there in the library on one of those re-shelving carts full of books. I lie on the books & you get on top of me but somehow we can’t make it work. Is it too small? you ask. It is not too small. Is it inside? you ask. It is not inside. You reach down & adjust. Can you feel it? you ask. I want to lie to you but I can’t. Can you feel it? I ask. You want to lie to me but you can’t. Something must be wrong with it I say. It’s working perfectly fine on my end you say. Fine then I say & I open up a book & clamp it around your penis & tug very very gently until you come.
