Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or the plays from which I took them, nor do I own the notion that if you put an infinite number of monkeys in a room with an infinite number of typewriters, one of them will produce a play of Shakespeare's.
Author's Note: This is written in script format not because I'm lazy, (which I'm not, with three advanced placement courses and no study hall) but rather because this is intended to be a screenplay - like for a movie. So read this as if you were watching it on a screen. :) This is an idea that sprung from a combination of an "A Midsummer Night's Dream" performance and sleep deprivation, so if it seems a little crazy at times, just bear with me. Rated 'R' for language and sexual themes, but it is not obscene. It's funny, if anything, so...enjoy!

"An Infinite Number of Monkeys" by Betty, with help from Shakespeare
::Scene opens on an office filled with orangutans typing on typewriters, getting water from the Koldrock machine, eating donuts, making coffee, etc. etc.::
::Camera goes through the room until it gets to the back where one monkey gets off his chair and straightens a stack of paper::
::Zoom in on the top paper that reads "A Play of Shakespeare"::
::Zoom out, and the paper is in the hands of a man, who is walking through a studio filled with other human beings::
MAN: ::to a conservitively-dressed young woman:: This is going to be great! A Shakespeare play written by a monkey!
WOMAN: (skeptically) Hmm, I don't know, it sounds pretty weird.
MAN: Well, it is a little on the strange side, but I've seen movies entirely written by humans that are weirder...
WOMAN: Well, OK...
::They approach the end of the hallway where the man opens the door to a theater entirely filled with monkeys::
WOMAN: ::screams::
MAN: Relax!
::"AN INFINITE NUMBER OF MONKEYS" comes on the screen::
::Camera zooms in on the onscreen movie screen which now says: "The Merchant of Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard II, Romeo, and Juliet's Night's Dream"::
**Ok, more later! I know it's not much so far, but tell me what you think of the idea, k?
