Catalina and Simoun made it to the square. Then, music cued up.
Simoun:"Oh this is my favorite song."
Catalina:"Yep. So, solo or duet."
Simoun:"Hmm. Your voice is pretty. So, duet."
Catalina:"Ok."
Crowd:"Come one,"
Crowd, Catalina and Simoun:"Come all!
Leave your loops and milking stools
Coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all!
Close the churches and the schools
It's the day for breaking rules
Come and join the Feast of..."
In time, Quasimodo land right next to Catalina and Simoun.
Catalina:"Hi, Quasi."
Quasimodo:"Shh."
Clopin:"*comes out of somebody's legs* Fools! *laughs*"
Simoun and Clopin:"Once a year we throw a party here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Ev'ry man's a king and ev'ry king's a clown
Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day
It's the day the devil in us gets released"
Clopin:"It's the day we mock the prig"
Simoun:"It's the day we mock Frollo"
Clopin:"And shock the priest"
Simoun:"And shock Frollo"
Clopin and Simoun:"Ev'rything is Topsy Turvy at the Feast of Fools!"
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy!"
Clopin and Catalina:"Ev'rything is upsy daysy"
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy!"
Clopin and Catalina:"Ev'ryone is acting crazy
Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet
That's the way
On Topsy Turvy Day!"
Quasimodo fell in Esmeralda's tent. Catalina and Simoun almos panicked. They ran inside but Catalina held Simoun's robe.
Simoun:*whispers* "Catalina, bitawan mo ako at tulungan natin si Quasimodo. (Catalina, let go of me and let's help Quasimodo.)"
Catalina:*whispers* "Hayaan mo na lang. Simoun, sa tingin mo, mapipigil mo ba naman ang agos ng tubig? (Just let it. Simoun, do you think you can stop the flow of water?)"
Simoun:*whispers* "Hindi. (No.)"
Catalina:*whispers* "Kaya, sa buong movie, hayaan natin ang agos at mag-enjoy tayo. Diba yan ang dahilan kung bakit nandito tayo? (That's why, in the whole movie, we'll just let it flow and let's enjoy. Is it not that's the reason why were here?)"
Simoun:*whispers* "Tama. (Correct.)" *smiles* "Catalina, ang galing mo talaga sa pilosopiya. (Catalina, you're so good in philosophy.)"
Catalina:*blushes* *whispers* "Hindi yan pilosopiya, Simoun. Yan ang iniisip ko. (That's not philosophy, Simoun. That's what I think.)"
Simoun:"Thoughts?"
Catalina:"Yeah."
Simoun:"Ok." Quasimodo got up and went out of the tent.
Catalina:"Esmeralda is so beautiful."
Simoun:"Well, you are more beautiful than anyone else in the world."
Catalina:*blushes* "I.. I am?"
Simoun:*blushes* "Yeah."
Catalina:*smiles* "Thanks."
Simoun:"Ah. De rien, Catalina. You're welcome."
Catalina smiles meekly and says a sweet, "Ok."
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy!"
Clopin, Catalina and Simoun:"Beat the drums and blow the trumpets!"
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy!"
Clopin, Crowd, Catalina and Simoun:"Join the bums and thieves and strumpets"
Clopin and Crowd:"Streaming in from Chartres to Calais"
Catalina:"But, Calais"
Simoun:"Became France's territory"
Catalina:"During Queen Mary I's reign."
Simoun:"Heh. Let's jsut continue even there are some mistakes."
Clopin, Catalina and Simoun:"Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy
On the sixth of Januervy
All beacause it's Topsy Turvy Day!"
Judge Frollo's carriage has arrived. His carriage is as grey as his eyes. As metal as his heart. And as scary as his soul. Behind the carriage are his guards. His poor minions killing joy all because they were blinded by Frollo. They were supposed to be good people. But, Frollo brainwashed their good hearts and souls.
By the sight of the carriage, Catalina and Simoun see this as a sign of the climax. And a sign to either run or put their hoods up. They arranged their hoods into an angle wherein they can still see everything. And they moved to the side of Phoebus in Frollo's mini theater box.
Frollo gets out of his carriage and some started to murmur about him.
Simoun:*whispers* "God have mercy on his soul. And so as Judge Draco Florendo's."
Catalina:"Indeed. Judge Florendo is more terrible and much of an opposite than Frollo." (A/N Judge Draco Florendo is an enemy and nephew of Father David. This heretical judge is also an enemy to every good character. Well, you'll know more about him soon.)
Clopin:"Come one, come all
Hurry, hurry
Here's your chance"
Catalina and Simoun laughed at Frollo's shocked face. Luckily, like hiders hiding from the seeker, they were not eard nor seen by Frollo and the guards.
Simoun:"Now you don't see a pervert's shocked face everyday."
Catalina:"We did when we were watching this movie. But still, he is so funny up-close."
Clopin:"See the mystery and romance
Come one, come all
See the finest girl in France
Make an entrance to entrance
Dance La Esmeralda, dance!"
In a puff of pink smoke, Clopin has disappeared. But, Esmeralda appears on stage. She dances while Catalina watches her with real happiness like a big fan. Well, she is a big fan of Esmeralda. Simoun watches Quasimodo smiling at Esmeralda.
Esmeralda, feeling so daring, dances to Frollo's mini theater box. She dances on his lap, wraps her handkerchief around his neck, kisses his long nose (which is as long as his private property) and squashes his chaperon heart. She dances away from him and the box as Catalina, Simoun and the crowd laughed and cheered. Frollo gets angry.
Simoun:"I guess someone needs anger managment classes."
Catalina:*laughs* "LOL. Yeah!"
Esmeralda continues to dance until she finishes. As she is done, Clopin comes back to the stage like a mgic trick.
Clopin:"And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the pièce de resistance."
Catalina:"I always thought it was 'Pee ace day resistance'."
Simoun laughs.
Clopin:"Here it is the moment you've been waiting for"
Simoun and Clopin:"Here it is you know exactly what's in store
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools"
Clopin:"You all remember last year's king?"
Everybody cheers as last year's king is paraded one last time on his royal throne. He burps in response to everybody's cheers.
Catalina:"As a fan since 5 years old, what did he won for?"
Simoun:"A drunk contest or even this." Simoun moves over to a drinker's side and taps his shoulder.
"Monsieur, may I have a drink?"
"Of monk, you course. A become monk drunk. Here." Simoun controls his laugh and gets the glassed mug. He drinks and feels a burp coming. He gers near Catalina and burps a her as she shields her face.
Catalina:"We have a new winner!" She said enthusiastically.
Simoun:"Thanks." He returns mug and comes back to singing.
Clopin and Simoun:"So make a face that's horrible and frightening
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing"
From the cathedral's balcony, Hugo becomes a little bit angered and shouts,
"HEY!"
Catalina:*looks up at the balcony* "Oh, Hugo. You silly yet friendly gargoyle."
Clopin and Simoun:"For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools.
Why?"
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy!"
Clopin and Simoun:"Ugly folks, forget your shyness"
Crowd:"Topsy Turvy"
Clopin and Simoun:"You could soon be called Your Highness"
Crowd:"Put your foulest features on display"
Clopin, Simoun and Crowd:"Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day!"
The candidates did their best. While, they were being butted by Djali, Catalina and Simoun managed to get near the stage.
When it was Quasimodo's turn, Esmeralda tries to pull his "mask". But, in a twist, it is not his mask. She gasps with everybody.
Man from crowd:"That's no mask."
Another man from crowd:"That's the bellringer of Notre Dame!"
Woman from crowd:"He's.."
Catalina:"Shut up, you bashers. Finally, I fulfilled my dream to shut you up."
Simoun:"At any rate, *points at Frollo* Judge Claude Frollo must be King of Fools. For he's uglier and looks like a deformed pig."
Everybody laughs while Quasimodo tries hard to control his laugh. And Frollo's totally pissed of as f*.
Clopin:"Well, should he be king?" Everybody almost cheered but he stands up and shouts,
"NO, YOU IDIOTS! IF YOU DO SO, I WILL EXECUTE EACH AND ONE OF YOU!" Everybody stood still like statues. Catalina and Simoun hid under the stage and prayed Our Father.
Frollo:"Now, who are the insolent idiots?" The crowd looked everywhere. But, they failed.
Frollo:*sighs* "To get everything fast, please proceed."
Under the stage, Celestina (lying on her back) and her family are there too.
Catalina:*whispers* "Celestina, what are you doing here?"
Celestina:*whispers* "We've been here for almost the whole time. Guards saw us. So, we hid. And we know why you're here."
Catalina:*whispers*"Alright. So, what is your family's name?"
Celestina:*whispers* "My husband is Gabriel. My father is Reynard. And my brothers are Marcel and Gerard."
Then, Quasimodo was paraded as King of Fools.
Simoun:"Guys, we'll see you later. Catalina and I gotta go."
Gabriel:"Be careful, children. Remember, if you get caught, shout for help and we'll defend you."
Reynard:"And let's go to the Court of Miracles."
Simoun:"You musn't go."
All Gypsies:"Why?"
Simoun:"Tomorrow or in two days, the Court of Miracles will be caught by Frollo."
Gerard:"How do you know?"
Simoun:"You'll know later."
Marcel:"Are you traitors like Frollo?"
Catalina:"Of course not."
Simoun:"We swear to you that we are on your side."
Gerard chuckles and says,
"As proof, we heard you defy Frollo."
Simoun:"Thank you for believing us..."
Gerard:"Gerard."
Simoun:"Ok. Bye." They got out and they returned to the crowd. Catalina and Simoun cheered with the crowd while Quasimodo is in the parade.
But, when he stands on the pillage, Frollo's guards throw a tomato and boo at him. Everybody joined in and laughed a lot. Catalina and Simoun were angry. So, they budged some people in the crowd.
Then, they found Quasimodo's blue cloak. His cloak is as blue as his feelings now. Catalina picked it up and stares at it. Simoun watches the gore and horrible event. So, they both decided to fight.
Both Catalina and Simoun climbed up the pillage. Esmeralda is in their back. Catalina gets near Quasimodo and says in a soft voice,
"Quasimodo, we're here. Don't worry." He rests his cheek on Catalina's soft hand. Esmeralda says to him,
"I'm sorry. This wasn't suppose to happen." Esmeralda wipes his cheek.
Frollo stands up in anger and shouts,
"You, gypsy girl. And you two insolent kids. Get off at once."
Esmeralda and Catalina:"Yes, Your Honor. Just as soon as we free"
Esmeralda:"This poor creature."
Catalina:"Poor Quasimodo."
Frollo:"I forbid it!" Esmeralda swiftly grabs her dagger and frees Quasimodo. She, Catalina nd Simoun removed the ropes. Simoun helped Quasimodo get up.
Frollo:"How dare you three defy me!"
Esmeralda:"You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people. You speak of Justice, yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help!"
Catalina:"Your nose is as big as your sins!"
Simoun:"You're a religious hypocrite!"
Frollo:"Silence!"
Esmeralda, Catalina and Simoun:"Justice!"
Frollo:"Mark my words, you three, you will pay for this insolence!"
Esmeralda:"Then it appears to be that the boy who screamed that you should be King of Fools because you are uglier and like a deformed pig,"
Catalin and Simoun sniggered.
Esmeralda:"Is correct. The only fool I see around here is you!" She throws the crown at Frollo's feet, Djali does a raspberry at Frollo and Catalina whispers to Simoun with a smirk,
"Looks like it's time for the greatest escape."
"Oui, mon ami. Yes, my friend."
"OK."
A/N The great escape will soon come. Come like the anger of Frollo. Or come like Quasimodo as he arrived in today's Festival. So, now you know how much I hate the crowd when tehy attacked Quasi, how much I still hate Phoebus and the names of Celestina's family. Bye. Have a good day or night.
