The Musical Mummy

Act III

Scene I

[The desert, Ruins of Hamunaptra]

[Curtain rises]

[Battlefield: Legionnaires and Arabs fighting]

[Bodies strewn across floor, sound of gunfire]

[Rick O'Connell fires his rifle, stage left]

[Beni, cowers next to him]

Beni: War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Rick: Shut up!

Beni:[Cowers behind wall] I am so sorry. I am just a little nervous.

[Beni suddenly stands and removes his hat]

[I Will Survive Written By: Fekaris/Perren]

Beni: At first I was afraid I was petrified,

Kept thinking how I was ever going to preserve my hide

And then I spent so many times thinking how we didn't get along

But you are strong and you know to get along

And so we're here stuck in this place

I look around and find you here with that rifle pointed at my face

I should have found a new profession

I should have gotten my degree

If I'd have known for just one second that you'd always be threatening me

So now I'll go right towards the door

Don't turn around now

Cuz you're not my buddy anymore

Weren't you the one who threw me and said good bye

Think I'll help you, think I'll stay here and die

[Runs towards the door]

Oh no not I

I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to hide I know I'll stay alive

I got all my life to live

I don't know how long it is

I'll survive, I will survive

Hey Hey

[Stands in front of door]

Rick: [Still shooting]It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to shoot these guys and do my part

And now I'm running out of bullets and worrying for myself

I might die, but I will hold my head up high

And he left me on this dune

I'm not going to be happy when this war is through

And so he felt like bailing out

And just expect me to believe

That I'm going to save his skin and not beat him readily

[Runs towards the door]

[Beni sees him, runs inside and starts to close it]

So don't you dare close that door

You better open it or I'll beat your @$$ some more

Weren't you the one who said my strength was your ally

Think I'll surrender. Think I'll lose this war and die.

[Banging on the door]

Oh no not I

I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to shoot I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I remember where you live

I'll survive

I will survive

Oh [Rick mouths an explicit. Do I need to tell you what it is?]

[Men firing at Rick, Rick runs to stage left, men give chase]

I will survive

[Rick closes eyes]

[Sand starts flying in time with the song, men run]

[Rick opens eyes, looks around]

Rick: I survived!

[Lights out]

[Curtain]

Scene II

[Cairo, Museum of Antiquities]

[Curtain rises]

[Library, Evelyn on ladder putting away books]

Evelyn: Tuthmosis? What are you doing here? T….T, T, T, T

[Evelyn reaches for the other shelf, ladder stands on end]

[Original song: Help By: Lennon/McCartney]

Evelyn: [Shrieks]

[softly] Help….

I need somebody

Help

Not just anybody

Help…

You know I need someone

HELP!

[Ladder sways]

Evelyn: When I was cleaning in the library today

I never needed anybody's help in anyway

But now it seems I'm wrong

And I'm not so self-assured

And I now I find I've changed my mind

Since I've screwed up even more

Help me if you can I'm falling down

And I'd really like to stay safe and sound

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

And now my life is flashing by in just so many ways

It seems that this could be the end of my days

But every now and then I feel so insecure

But now I really need help from the curator

Up here I find I need him like I've never done before

Help me if you can I'm falling down

And I'd really like to stay safe and sound

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

When I was cleaning in the library today

I never needed anybody's help in anyway

But now it seems I'm wrong

And I'm not so self-assured

And I now I find I've changed my mind

Since I've screwed up even more

Help me if you can I'm falling down

And I'd really like to stay safe and sound

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please

Help me

Help me

Help me

[She falls against bookshelf]

[Evelyn screams]

[Bookshelves crash]

[Evelyn stands up, looks around] : Oops

[Curator comes in, stage right]

Curator: [Disbelief] What—How c—I—H-How—

[Spots Evy]

Curator: [in outrage] Oh, look at this! Sons of pharaohs!

Give me frogs! Flies! Locusts! Anything but you!

Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!

Evelyn: I am so very sorry. It was an accident.

Curator: [still in outrage] My girl, when Rameses destroyed

Syria that was an accident. You…are a catastrophe! Look at my

library! Why do I put up with you?

Evelyn: W-well, you put up with me because I can—read

and write ancient Egyptian, I can decipher hieroglyphics and

heiratic—and I am the only person within a thousand miles

that can properly code and catalog this library! That's why!

Curator: I put up with you because your mother and father

were our finest patrons. That's why.

Allah rest their souls. Now, I don't care how you do it. I don't

 care how long it takes. Straighten up this meshiver!

[Exit curator stage right]

[Noise is heard]

[Evy goes through door at back]

[Backdrop/set turns (I love this trick) and reveals an exhibit]

[Evy grabs a torch and slowly walks further in]

Evelyn: Abdul? Mohammed? Bob?

[Another noise is heard, she jumps]

[Evy walks over to a sarcophagus]

[Mummy suddenly pops up]

[Evy screams and jumps]

[Laughter. Legs appear in air]

[Jonathan sits up in sarcophagus, laughing]

[Mummy is propped up next to him]

Evelyn: [Angrily] Have you no respect for the dead?

Jonathan: [Drunkenly] Of course I do, but sometimes…

I'd rather like to join them.

Evelyn: [Angrily again] Well I'd wish you'd do it sooner

rather than later before you ruin my career the way you've ruined yours

[slaps him] Now get out.

Jonathan [still drunk] My dear sweet baby sister…I'll have you know

that my career is on a high note. [Gets out of sarcophagus]

Evelyn: High note, hah! Jonathan I'm really not in the mood for you right now.

[Sits on edge of statue]

I've just made a bit of a mess in the library and the Bembridge Scholars have

rejected my application form again. They say I haven't enough experience in the

field.

Jonathan: You'll always have me ol mum. [smiles]

[Evy smiles]

Jonathan: Besides, I have just the thing to cheer you up!

[Song from Jaws]

[Jonathan begins to sing in a drunken stupor]

Show me the way to go home!

I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

I had a little drink about an hour ago

and it's gone right to my head.

Wherever I may roam, by land or sea or foam.

You can always hear me singin' this song,

show me the way to go home!

[Adding sound effects]: Bome, bome, bome.

Show me the way to go home.

Bome bome bome.

I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

I had a little drink about an hour ago

and it's gone right to my head.

Wherever I may roam, by land or sea or foam.

You can always hear me singin this --

[Evy interrupts]

Evelyn: Please, I'd prefer another useless trinket.

Jonathan: In that case…[pulls out key]

Evelyn: [Evy takes it, examines it]

Where did you get this?

Jonathan: [Nonchalantly] On a dig down in…Thebes. 

My whole life I've never found anything, Evy. Please, tell

me I've found something.

Evelyn: [Opens key] Jonathan…I think you've found something.

[Pulls out map]

[Curtain falls]

[End scene]
