Hello again, everyone! Hey, its almost the month of October 2020, and even as the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continues to grip the entire world until a vaccine is developed and distributed, I'm still happily writing and putting out chapters for you all! And now, despite the pandemic, it's time for Scene 3 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! Anyways, in this scene, we will all see how Brain has been doing since Snowball has successfully taken over the world and since Pinky angrily left him and joined Snowball's side. And based on that previous set transition, it seems that Brain has had a less than successful time on his hands. Poor Brain... And yes, there will be a musical number in this scene. Well, its time for us all to sit back, relax, put away all of our electronic devices, and finally enjoy Scene 3 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Narrator: Meanwhile, over at an alleyway behind a bowling alley, which of course was now called "Snowball and Pinky Lanes", Brain was very depressed and disheveled ever since Snowball took over the world. (turns page) Now, with no "ACME Labs" home to go back to, he made himself a home in this alleyway. This alleyway was also home to 4 other homeless men. (turns page) So, while Pinky was over at "Pinkyland" enjoying the luxuries of his new life, Brain was having a more...less-than-luxurious life...(exits stage left)
Brain (burps): Ugh...what a night...(shivers) Its so cold...(wraps his arms and hands around his upper body) Its so windy and miserable. (puts his arms and hands down) You know, the world can be so cruel and unfair at times...(sighs) You got dreams of accomplishments that you want to achieve...you've got loyal friends that you make starting in your childhood...you got a horrible childhood that you want to make up for as an adult...but then, some bigshot comes along and...takes it all away! I HATE THIS WOOOOOOOOOORLD! (punches the wall behind him) OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW! (rubs both hands) OW! My hands...ugh, why did I punch the wall?! (looks down) Ugh...my life is horrible...
Homeless Man 1 (on the left): Oh, you think your life is horrible!? (looks over at Brain) Well, I got some news buster, MINE IS WORSE!
Homeless Man 2 (on the left, too): So is mine! (looks over at Brain) 10 times worse than yours, actually!
Homeless Man 3 (on the right): Oh, and don't forget mine! (looks over at Brain) Mine is HORRIBLE AS A FIREY PIT IN A FOREST...AND...I think I have an illness...(rubs chin) But I'm not sure which one...(stops rubbing chin)
Homeless Man 4 (on the right, too): HAHAHAHAHA! I think you all got it wrong! MY LIFE IS THE WORSE!
Homeless Man 1: No, like I said before, MINE IS!
Homeless Man 2: NO, MINE IS!
Homeless Man 3: NO! MINE!
Homeless Man 4: NO, ITS MY LIFE THAT IS WORSE, YOU FOOLS!
Homeless Man 1: SHUT UP! (points to Homeless Man 4)
Homeless Man 2: NO, YOU SHUT UP! (points to Homeless Man 2)
Homeless Man 3: FOOLS! (points to Homeless Man 1, 2, and 4)
Homeless Man 4: JERKS! (points to Homeless Man 1, 2, and 3)
Brain (waves his arms around his sides to stop the fighting): Hold it! Hold it! HOLD IT! (breathes in and out) First of all, I don't appreciate either of you gentlemen YELLING in MY EARS! (puts arms down) Now, second of all, why don't you all just tell me why your life is miserable? Then, afterwards, I will personally pass judgment on who's life is the worse out of all of us.
Homeless Man 1: Now that is just a bunch of...(pauses and widens eyes) You know...that sounds like a fair idea!
Homeless Man 2: Yeah, you're very smart!
Brain (chuckles): Well, I was a mouse who was put through a gene-splicing machine as a child...
Homeless Man 3 (confused): Gene what?
Brain (Sighs and shakes head): N-Never mind...w-what I just said isn't important. After all, you all wouldn't understand my wording...or intelligence for that matter...
Homeless Man 1: Well, we COULD tell you...
Homeless Man 2: But, we think it'll be more fun if we'd sing it!
Homeless Man 3 (faces Brain): So, what do you think?! Can we sing about are miserable lives?
Brain (sarcastic): Oh, yay! I love singing! (shakes head)
Homeless Man 4 (to Homeless Man 1, 2, and 3): Did you hear that, guys?! HE SAID YES! (holds up fists)
Homeless Man 1: OH YEAH! (high-fives Homeless Man 4)
Homeless Man 2: Man, I love singing!
Homeless Man 3: So do I! I can't wait to show off my singing voice!
Homeless Man 4: Well, what are we all waiting for, guys?! Let's sing this song! (stands up)
Homeless Man 1 (stands up): Yeah, I'm ready!
Homeless Man 2 (stands up): So am I!
Homeless Man 3 (stands up): Me three!
Homeless Man 4: Alright, here we go...(taps his left foot) And...one, two, three, four!
(Suddenly, some swashbuckler music begins to play in the background. As it does, the Homeless Men began to sing the next musical number of the show, all while dancing by swaying side to side as they do so...)
Homeless Man 1 (singing): My story begins,
In the 1980s,
In high school, where I hated the work!
The class I took, from math to English,
Physical Education, science, and chemistry,
As well as music and art class!
I did well in high school,
And went on to college,
On a full scholarshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip...
I wanted to be a lawyer for the "Supreme Court",
But the work got to hard,
And I faaaaaaaaaailed...to graduate college!
Working harder than in high school was too hard to me,
And working more was not what I was uuuuuuuused to!
Homeless Man 2 (singing): I wanted to be a stunt person,
But I couldn't take the pain of physical training!
Physical education in school was tough as it was,
But when I had to train more,
I gave it a hard try,
But I didn't like it at aaaaaaaaaaaaall!
Homeless Man 3 (singing): I really longed to be a singer,
But people hated my voice!
I tried to adjust it,
To please the masses,
But everyone booed me off the staaaaaaaaaage!
Homeless Man 4 (singing): And I wanted to be a cruise ship captain,
But do think they'll hire someone,
Who's had dyslexia has a child?!
All Homeless Men: NO!
Homeless Man 1 (singing): So we becaaaaaaame...
Homeless! We're homeless!
Homeless! We are homeless!
Homeless is the liiiiiiiiiife...
That we love!
All Homeless Men (singing): Homeless! We're homeless!
Homeless! We are homeless!
Homeless is the liiiiiiiiiife...
That we love!
Oh...Homeless,
We are homeless men!
We eat out of dumpsters,
And beg for money from random people,
Who pass by us with a disgusted look!
We make friends with other fellow homeless people,
And also alley cats,
While also being careful not to get scratched!
Homeless Man 1 (singing): We also find pleasure in gambling pieces of trash...
Homeless Man 2 (singing): From tin cans, to gum wrappers,
And even moldy bread and fruit!
Homeless Man 3 (singing): We sleep in alleyways,
And sometimes in trashcans!
Homeless Man 4 (singing): And our daily entertainment includes...
Cars and trucks passing by,
And also, the occasional street performeeeeeeeeer!
All Homeless Men (singing): YEAH! Homeless! We're homeless!
Homeless! We are homeless!
Homeless is the liiiiiiiiiife...
That we love!
Homeless! We are all homeless!
Homeless, we are all homeless!
Homeless, we all love being...
Homeless men!
We love being homeless,
And that's all we're meant to beeeeeeeee!
Homeless Man 1 (singing): And I'm too afraid to go back to college,
And set my life straight...
So being homeless is the best thing for me!
Homeless Man 2 (singing): And I'm too scared of being in pain,
While training to be a stunt person!
At least while I'm homeless, I can be safe and pain-free!
Homeless Man 3 (singing): And I sound horrible,
And have no ambition to sing or attending auditions!
So I won't even TRY to get out there, and sing any songs at all!
Homeless Man 4 (singing): And as for me trying to try and get my cruise ship captain career,
Sorry, forget it!
My dyslexia has made me shunned by society!
All Homeless Men (singing): Oh, being homeless,
And that is the liiiiiiiiiiife...
That we want to have forever!
Oh, being homeless,
That is the type of liiiiiiiiiiiiife...
That we have! OH YEAH!
We love...
Being...HOMELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!
HOMELESS! YEAH!
(The swashbuckler music stops playing in the background, and the Homeless Men stop singing and dancing, ending the musical number. As it does, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly for the musical number. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the rest of the scene continues to take place...)
Homeless Man 1: And that is why my life is worse...(pauses) Wait, now that I think about it, ALL of our lives horrible!
Homeless Man 2: Yeah, you're right!
Homeless Man 3 (to Brain): See? You're not the only one down on your luck!
Homeless Man 4 (to Brain): So...since we sang hat song and explained to you why our lives are bad...can you tell us which one of us you feel bad for the most?
Homeless Man 1 (to Brain): Yeah, go on and tell us! Is it mine? (points to Homeless Man 4) Is it his? (points to Homeless Man 3) What about him?
Homeless Man 2 (to Brain): No, what about me? What do you think? Which one of us do you feel bad for the most? Which one of us is worse off than the rest!?
Brain (eyes widen): What do I think? (stands up) What do I think?! (looks at all of the Homeless Men) I think you're all CRAZY!
Homeless Man 1 (eyes widen): Excuse me?!
Brain (points to all of the Homeless Men): Yeah, you're all crazy! You all just GAVE UP for the tinniest things instead of working hard or standing up for yourselves! That is why your all homeless and living on the streets!
Homeless Man 2: I beg your pardon, mister!?
Homeless Man 3: Yeah, how you tell us that...
Brain (interrupting Homeless Man 3): YES! You are all either lazy or have just plain given up! (points to Homeless Man 1) You need to get back to college and study hard! I understand its to easy, but NOTHING is easy in life! You can be a great lawyer for the "Supreme Court" if you just set your mind to it! (points to Homeless Man 2) And you need to feel pain when you train! In working out, the slogan has always been "No Pain, No Gain"! (points to Homeless Man 3) And you...it doesn't matter what other people think about your voice! Its your voice and you can't change it! Get out there, and feel passionate about your voice! If you like your voice, that's all that matters! (points to Homeless Man 4) And as for you, you need to get out there, and prove to those cruise ship corporations that a simple dyslexia diagnosis DOES NOT mean that you can't work on a cruise ship as a captain! (steps forward) You all need to stop being lazy homeless people that beg for money, and get out there, work hard, and stand up to the people who push you around!
All Homeless Men (burst out laughing)
Brain (turns around): W-Why are you all laughing?!
Homeless Man 1 (points to Brain): Well, its ironic that you are encouraging us to stop being homeless and work hard to accomplish our goals, when you are in this alleyway being homeless, too!
Homeless Man 2: Yeah, you're such a hypocrite!
Homeless Man 3: Yeah! In fact, just a few minutes ago, you were moping about your hard life!
Brain: B-B-B-But...but...but...but I...uh...(eyes widen) Wait...(turns back around) You're right! (clenches fist) You're all right! I might be giving you some advice, but at the same time, I also need to get out there, and get what I want the most! (steps forward) Yes...yes...(looks up) YES!
Homeless Man 4: And what is that exactly?
Brain: Taking...taking...(grabs onto fake beard) TAKING OVER THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD! (rips off fake beard) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Now, if you'll excuse me sirs, I have a world to take from an idiot hamster named Snowball! (runs out of view of the left, exiting stage left)
(The stage lights shinning above the center and front area of the stage dims, some more transitional music begins playing in the background, and another set transition begins. As it does, the actors playing all 4 Homeless Men exit stage right. As they do, the metal trashcans slide out of view on the rights, and the large blue metal dumpster slides out of view on the left. As they do, the dirty grey brick wall panel rises up out of view, revealing a massive rock concert stage setting behind it, complete with metal rigging with various adjustable colorful lights attached to it positioned on both the left and right sides of the stage, as well as some rigging with colorful lights hanging overhead connected to the ones on the side. There is also a large black brick wall panel covering the back wall of the stage, as well as a large pinky banner with the words "Pinkyland Rockers" displayed on it in large and bold red and white letters. This setting also as a drum kit set on the far-left side of the stage, and next to it on the right is an electric piano on a stand. On the far-right side of the stage, there is an electric guitar stand, and next to that in the center area of the new set on the left is a microphone on a long metal stand. The new setting also has various amplifier speakers dangling from said metal rigging, but not covering or cluttering any of the new setting whatsoever. As the new setting is revealed, 2 more additional towers of metal stage rigging with adjustable colorful lights attached to it come down into view on the front area of the stage, one on the left, and one on the right. As they do, Pinky runs into view from the left, and stands about 6 feet away from the setting, facing said setting to watch a rock concert taking place, happily clapping as he got into his position. As he gets into his position, the stage lights shinning over the front, center, and front area of the stage come back on. As they do, the transitional music stops playing in the background as the set transition completes. As it does, the Narrator enters stage left, stands in the front-center area of the stage, faces the entire audiences, takes out his book from underneath his left arm, opens it back up to its previous page, and begins narrating to the entire audience once again...)
And that was the conclusion of Scene 3 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! And it seems that Brain has been very miserable, and homeless in an alleyway ever since Snowball's takeover of the world. Oh, and the musical numbered featured in this scene was based off of the real-life song, "Poor Pirates" from the popular Broadway and US National Tour musical "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical". And after this musical number, Brain was shocked on how the homeless people sitting next to him just basically game up on their lives and decided to become homeless! So, he encouraged them all to get out there, not let anyone above them push them around, and improve their lives, and now, he's going to try to get Pinky back and defeat Snowball once and for all! Hooray! Well, its time for all of us to move on to Scene 4 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
