AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HURLEY
HELLO HURLEY! HOW’S IT GOING?
It’s going great, thanks. Have you met my new friends? They’re called G-Force and they’re awesome! These guys are highly trained special agents and I’m hoping to start my training soon. I want to be just like them!
AREN’T YOU A LITTLE PODGY TO BE A SPECIAL AGENT?
Hey, I’m not fat! I’m just a little fluffy.
OH, OF COURSE. SO WHAT DOES THE TRAINING INVOLVE?
[Hurley drops to the ground and starts doing press ups.] One, two, twenty-eight, twenty-nine…
WAIT A MINUTE… DIDN’T YOU MISS SOME NUMBERS THERE? YOU WENT STRAIGHT FROM TWO TO TWENTY- EIGHT.
Yeah, I know… That was on purpose. I don’t want to get too buff!
FAIR ENOUGH, HURLEY! SO WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE G-FORCE GUYS THE FIRST TIME YOU MET THEM?
Let me tell you a secret… At first, I thought they were from the circus. They’re very different and they do a great balancing act, so they were a little strange to me. Then I thought they were transferred from the Hollywood store because the G-Force guinea pigs were flash and a little mad, just like those Hollywood types.
WHY? WHAT WERE THEY DOING?
It was crazy because they started talking to this fly that buzzed into the pet shop. I thought the ferret in my cage was mad, but he had nothing on the guinea pigs. They were nuts. Wacko! But then I discovered their real identity. Special agents are very cool!
HOW MUCH FUN IS IT TO LIVE IN A GLASS BOX IN A PET STORE?
I love it at the pet store. They put down fresh newspaper every morning so there’s always something new to read. There are as many pellets as you want to eat and some great company. Well, apart from that crazy ferret.
HOW DO ANIMALS USUALLY GET OUT OF A PET STORE?
It’s pretty simple: you have to get adopted. You act cute, a kid picks you out and then you’re part of the family. Except that never happens to me.
ISN’T IT SCARY LIVING NEXT TO DEADLY SNAKES?
No way! I’m not scared of snakes. Snakes don’t frighten me at all. I tackle snakes for breakfast. If snakes give me any trouble, I make them into snakeskin boots.
PHEW! THAT’S GOOD BECAUSE THERE’S ONE SLITHERING RIGHT BEHIND YOU…
Eeek… Get me out of here! Quick! Get me out! NOW! [Hurley runs to hide]
ONLY JOKING, HURLEY! THERE’S NO SNAKE REALLY…
[Slowly coming out of hiding] What? Really? Erm… Well, that’s good because I would’ve shown him who was boss. It would’ve been lights out for the snake. I would’ve hit him so hard he would’ve shed himself.
YOU SOUND LIKE A TOUGH COOKIE, HURLEY…
Cookie? Did you mention cookies? I love cookies, although I prefer cake. Big, juicy cake. Mmm… My mouth is watering! Sorry, I’ve gotta go… I need some food. Laters! [Hurley zips off]
G-FORCE is Available on Blu-ray & DVD December 15th!
