A Sample Of The Script!

SOUND EFFECT (story in proccess)

Strong chilling winds.

LADY ESTEL/ANN

What frigid winds do blow that chill my weary bones?

The sound effect stops when the "imaginary" door closes. GUARD/KENNY remains "outside" doing his guard job.

LADY ESTEL/ANN (cont’d)

Alas, I think not the air frozen but rather mine own heart!

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

But dear daughter, me thinks you’d be happy to wed one as rich as he! Our family shall rule this land!

LADY ESTEL/ANN

But father, for all I know he may be possessing a face like that of a horse’s buttocks! Besides, I am in love with, but a lowly renegade!

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

I will hear none of this! Love is for fools! You shall wed Prince John and that is final!

CHRIS/JESTER enters once again. This time wearing a superhero costume.

CHET/JESTER

Mrs. Barney? Is this it?

DIRECTOR

Chris, you are supposed to be a jester! Now find something jestery! You come on pretty soon!

CHRIS/JESTER exits by "flying" off the set.

ONE LINE LARRY rushes on.

ONE LINE LARRY

And alas, happiness was found by all! Well? How was that?

PROMPTER

(unenthusiastically) Great Larry.

ONE LINE LARRY exits and the DIRECTOR signals to continue. By this time it would appear that Mrs. Barney and Mrs. Abernathy (both complete teetotallers) could use a couple stiff drinks!

LADY ESTEL/ANN

Father! Your concern is more for riches than it is for my true happiness! Your thoughts are only for material possessions! Thou hast forgotten how to love!

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

(angry) STILL THY TONGUE! (then sad) Still thy tongue... I have not forgotten! I still remember...however, all that remains of my heart is but a shriveled wad of crusted mud! I shall ne’er find love again!

LADY ESTEL/ANN

Father, no one was ment to be alone forever. Since mother’s passing you haven’t a moment’s joy.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

When your mother died... much died with her.

LADY ESTEL/ANN

Love is there, out in the world! Even for you, father!

MESSENGER/LORI enters and silently converces with GUARD/KENNY.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

If only it were so.

LADY ESTEL/ANN

It can be so! You need only look!

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

But where can one such as I find love?

STAGE HAND TWO/MATT

(yelling backstage) 1 - 800 - BIG MAMA!

EVERYONE breaks up laughing except for the DIRECTOR and PROMPTER.

DIRECTOR

(Weary from the mix-ups) People!

PROMPTER

That is NOT the line!!

EVERYONE regains their composure.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

No! It shall ne’er happen! I shall ne’er find love! Not even with 1 - 800 - BIG MAMA!

MESSENGER/LORI goes to GUARD/KENNY. GUARD/KENNY then opens the invisible door and enters.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN (cont'd)

What is it?!

GUARD/KENNY

Messenger to see you... (checks script) ...Lord Pinkle.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

Their purpose?

GUARD/KENNY

(he checks his script again, raises an eyebrow, then takes a breath) I beg thee, Lord, forgiveness, if bounds overstepped for tis not my intent but rather my folly most often taken ill! The nature of her mysterious presence was not to be disclosed to one of my abject position. (quickly checks the script) With permitted assumption, a logic based wit, twould guess the purpose to invite, although oft times me thinks my granted wit is dull.

ALL are taken back by GUARD/KENNY’s performance.

LORD PINKLE/ALAN

Send her in!
