OBERON: [singing] Raindrops keep falling on my head . . . do do do do . . . I wonder if Titania has awakened yet . . . do do do do . . .

[Puck comes traipsing in]

OBERON: Yo! How'd it go?

PUCK: Okay so there are these actors, right?

OBERON: Yeah . . .

PUCK: And there's this one dude who plays Pyramus, right?

OBERON: Yeah . . .

PUCK: Well, he was so bad, I turned him into an ass! Ha!

OBERON: HA! Wait, what does that have to do with anything?

PUCK: I'm not sure . . . but anyway, you know Titania, right?

OBERON: Of course I know her you fool! She's my wife!

PUCK: [realizing] Ohhh . . . I thought you guys were just dating.

OBERON: [head in hands] Ugh.

PUCK: Anyway . . . this is the best part! [acts like valley girl] So she, like, wakes up, like, y'know?

OBERON: [acts like valley girl] Like, omigod! Then, like, what happened, like?

OBERON: Shut up, Puck.

PUCK: Aw . . .

OBERON: But totally brilliant idea!

PUCK: Like, fer shure!

OBERON: Listen, you need to cut the valley girl crap, 'Kay?

PUCK: Aw . . .

OBERON: You put the juice in the dude's eyes, right?

PUCK: Ooh! Can we talk like surfer dudes now?

OBERON: What's the word I'm looking for . . . NO!

PUCK: Aw . . .

OBERON: So did you?

PUCK: Did I what?

OBERON: [angry] DID YOU PUT THE FREAKING NECTAR IN HIS FREAKING EYES?!

PUCK: Duh. That's what I was supposed to do.

OBERON: [steam rising from his head]

[enter Hermia and Demetrius]

OBERON: Dude! That's the same dude!

PUCK: Yeah, man, that's the dude, dude, but not the chick, dude.

OBERON: [sighs]

DEMETRIUS: Dude, Lysander doesn't love you. I love you!

HERMIA: I bet you killed him while he was sleeping! Poisoned him and then shot him and then ripped-

DEMETRIUS: Whoa! This is a PG fic, Hermia! No evil R-rated violence!

HERMIA: What are you talking about?

DEMETRIUS: You don't know?

HERMIA: [blank look] Anyway, I so bet you killed him!

DEMETRIUS: Did not!

HERMIA: Where is he then?

DEMETRIUS: [shifty] Uh . . .

HERMIA: HA!

DEMETRIUS: But I didn't kill him!

HERMIA: Then help me look for him.

DEMETRIUS: No. Way. I would rather give his carcass to the ANIMALS!

HERMIA: Ew! Get out, you cur! You did kill him! EW! MY LYSANDER! NOOO! [Sobs]

DEMETRIUS: I didn't kill the stupid idiot!

HERMIA: [still sobbing] Then help me look for him.

DEMETRIUS: What's in it for me?

HERMIA: You jerk-off! [exits]

DEMETRIUS: Stupid . . . PG fic. Right. Must . . . not . . . swear . . . must . . . sleep . . . instead . . . [goes to sleep like a pig]

PUCK: Heh heh . . . uh, oops?

OBERON: [steam rising from head] You fool! You got the wrong person! GO GET the OTHER ONE!

PUCK: I'm going, I'm going, look how fast I'm going! [Puck flies away]

OBERON: Ugh. I need to re-hire Dean. [puts nectar in Demetrius' eyes]

PUCK: Look! Here's Helena!

OBERON: Duh.

PUCK: This is like a Soap Opera!

OBERON: Soap Opera? I love Soap Operas! [snaps, big Laz-E-Boy appears with popcorn bucket] Bring it on!

LYSANDER: But I love you!

HELENA: Ah, no you don't! You're just making a huge, big joke about it! I mean, think of Hermia!

LYSANDER: [sheepishly] I wasn't thinking when I said I was gonna marry her . . .

HELENA: Dude, you just don't think.

DEMETRIUS: [waking up] THE BRITISH ARE COMING! Uh . . . [sees Helena] Helena! You are a goddess!

HELENA: AGH! YOU STUPID FREAKS! YOU'RE TRYING TO TAUNT ME! GO TO HELL! [walks to a tree and refuses to look at Lysander or Demetrius]

LYSANDER: You are such a loser. [sticks tongue out at Demetrius] You only pretend you love her.

HELENA: Duh. What have I been saying?

DEMETRIUS: Oh, shut up. [sticks tongue out at Lysander] Keep that loser Hermia.

LYSANDER: NO! Helen, it isn't so!

HELENA: There's an 'a' at then end of my name . . . SAY IT RIGHT!

[Hermia comes running in]

HERMIA: LYSANDER! [hugs Lysander]

HELENA: See? I told you so.

HERMIA: Why did you leave me, my love?

LYSANDER: Because I don't love you anymore.

HERMIA: What?

LYSANDER: I love Helena now!

HERMIA: WHAT?!

HELENA: Dude, okay, just drop the act.

HERMIA: Who . . . me?

HELENA: No, the person behind you. [Hermia looks around] Of course I mean you, you twit! I thought we were best friends . . . and you betray me!

HERMIA: But I-

HELENA: Shut. Up.

HERMIA: I really think that you're the one doing the mocking, not me.

HELENA: Oh, pu-leez. Didn't you tell both Lysander and Demetrius to run around following me because you felt sorry for me? Uh huh, you did.

HERMIA: What? I'm so confused.

HELENA: Whatever. I don't need this.

LYSANDER: Stay, lovely Helena!

HELENA: [sarcastically] Excellent!

HERMIA: Lysander, don't tease her.

DEMETRIUS: Fine. If MY love Helena doesn't want you, [sticks tongue out at Lysander] she can have me! [flexes arm muscles]

LYSANDER: Whatever. You are SO lame.

DEMETRIUS: I love her more than you could ever love her!

LYSANDER: Prove it!

DEMETRIUS: I will! [flexes arm muscles and pulls out cardboard sword]

HERMIA: NOO! [grabs on to Lysander's arm, holding him back]

LYSANDER: [gasping] Let [gasp] me [gasp] fight [gasp] DEMETRIUS!

HERMIA: NO!

[Demetrius is laughing hysterically on the ground and Helena is brooding while leaning on a tree]

LYSANDER: GET OFF ME YOU STUPID FREAKIN' CAT!

HERMIA: [lets go in shock] What? Are you kidding?

HELENA: [snorts]

LYSANDER: Okay, Demetrius! You asked for it! [pulls out cardboard sword]

DEMETRIUS: Dude, you just pretty much got beaten up by a girl. I'd hate to injure your ego.

LYSANDER: Oh, I was letting her win.

HERMIA: AGH! Lysander, what the heck is wrong with you?!

LYSANDER: Nothing. I just hate you and love Helena.

DEMETRIUS: Fo shizzle!

[everyone looks blankly at Demetrius]

DEMETRIUS: What?

HELENA: Demetrius . . .

DEMETRIUS: [singsong] What?

HELENA: Please, don't ever do that again.

HERMIA: Oh yeah?! You stupid female dog, you stole my lover!

HELENA: You know what?! YOU'RE the STUPID FEMALE DOG, OKAY?!

HERMIA: WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THAT OTHER PLACE!

HELENA: WHAT OTHER PLACE?!

HERMIA: WHERE YOU CAN STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN!

HELENA: BITE ME, BAMBI!!

HERMIA: ARE YOU CALLING ME SHORT?!

HELENA: IN COMPARISON TO ME YOU ARE!

HERMIA: SHUT UP!

[Hermia and Helena start to catfight]

DEMETRIUS: Helena!

LYSANDER: Helena!

DEMETRIUS: You know, if my love's life wasn't in danger, this would be pretty freaking hilarious.

LYSANDER: Yeah, fo shizzle. Wait, YOUR lover?! Excuse me?!

DEMETRIUS: Shut up, dawg. Get away from my love, you dwarf!

LYSANDER: You acorn!

[everyone looks at Lysander blankly; Hermia and Helena stop catfighting]

LYSANDER: What? It was in the original script!

DEMETRIUS: Whatever! You're going down, L-Boy!

LYSANDER and DEMETRIUS: OOGA BOOGA BOOGA! [both run randomly away from the clearing]

HERMIA: This is all your fault.

HELENA: Shuuuuuure. And pigs can fly.

[a pig flies by]

HELENA: I'm not even gonna ask. [runs away]

HERMIA: We-e-ell. [exits]

OBERON: I really hope you understand what you did, Puck.

PUCK: Uh . . .

OBERON: I *really* hope you understand what you did, PUCK!

PUCK: Uh . . . yes! Yeah, I do!

OBERON: Then what?

PUCK: Then what what?

OBERON: What did you do?

PUCK: What?

OBERON: FORGET IT!

PUCK: Forget what?

OBERON: AGH! [blows up, covered in ash when smoke clears]

PUCK: That's gonna sting in the morning.

OBERON: Just . . . just get them all together so we can erase their memories and think this whole ugly mess THAT YOU STARTED!

PUCK: What was that?

OBERON: Uh . . . nothing, but so that they think this whole ugly mess was just a dream. GOT IT? DON'T SCREW IT UP THIS TIME, PUCK!

PUCK: Yessir!

OBERON: Good. [floats away]

[Lysander comes running in, brandishing cardboard sword]

LYSANDER: I know you're here, Demetrius! Come out and fight like a man! [thinks] Or woman . . .

PUCK [in Demetrius' voice, hidden in bush] I'm over here, you scurvy cur!

LYSANDER: You'll pay for that! I see you in that bush! [runs over and tries to stab Puck] OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!

PUCK: AGH! [punches Lysander in the face, who falls over unconscious] That worked out rather nicely.

[Demetrius comes running in]

DEMETRIUS: I heard you, you scurvy cur by the name of Lysander! [runs around stabbing at bushes]

[Puck makes himself invisible]

PUCK: Better think *this* one through. AHEM!

DEMETRIUS: [ignoring bodiless voice] AHA! You're in HERE! [stabs bush] Or not . . . I SEE YOU IN THERE! [runs into tree]

PUCK: [in Lysander's voice] AHEM, you scurvy cur!

DEMETRIUS: [sword stuck in tree] Hark! I am harkening to a holler! It is Lysander! But alas, my sword is stuck in the tree! [pulls] Ugh [grunt] can't [wheeze] get . . .

[Puck drops a coconut on Demetrius' head, who falls down unconscious]

[Helena comes traipsing in]

HELENA: I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and-Whoops, wrong musical.

INVISI-PUCK: Oookay. [pulls out tape recorder] Note to self-stay away from Helena.

HELENA: I think I will fall asleep for no good reason. That good?

PUCK: About right.

HELENA: AGH! [gets hit on the head with a coconut, who falls down unconscious]

PUCK: This is fun! Oh look, there's [counts] One, two, three . . . plus one equals five! [thinks] Uh, four.

[Hermia comes running in]

HERMIA: Oh, I am so exhausted from running less than an 8th of a mile, I think I will faint now. [faints]

PUCK: Well that was easy. [flies away to Oberon]
