ACT II

EXT. STREET—NIGHT

Dr. Christmas comes out of the castle.

ARCHIBALD
So? Did you get the funding?

DR. CHRISTMAS
Sorry.

ARCHIBALD
You couldn't get money from the King? How simple is that! You are so stupid!

DR. CHRISTMAS
Well, you didn't do much better finding Decemberween at the docks!

ARCHIBALD
Oh, now you're blaming this mess on me?

DR. CHRISTMAS
Maybe I am!

ARCHIBALD, DR. CHRISTMAS (same time)
That is it! I'm sick of you messing up our plans all the time! I'm going to settle this once and for all! And there's only one place to settle this—the top of Mt. Rushmore!

INT. AIRPORT—NIGHT

Dr. Christmas and Archibald sit in the waiting area. Archibald is reading a book, Dr. Christmas is doing a crossword puzzle.

ARCHIBALD
Need any help?

DR. CHRISTMAS
Yeah, what's a 9-letter word for 'verified'?

ARCHIBALD
'Confirmed.'

DR. CHRISTMAS
Thanks.

A few minutes later...

ANNOUNCEMENT (o.s.)
Flight 402 to Rapid City now boarding.

ARCHIBALD
Is that us?

DR. CHRISTMAS
Yeah, let's go.

INT. AIRPLANE—NIGHT

FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Drink, sir?

ARCHIBALD
Yeah, I'll have a Diet Sprite.

DR. CHRISTMAS
I'll just have water.

ARCHIBALD
Oh, and can I have a pillow?

FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Certainley, sir.

A few hours later...

CAPTAIN (o.s.)
Folks, this is your captain speaking. We've begun our decent into the Rapid City area, and should be arriving within 25 minutes. The local time is 9:02 PM. Thank you for flying WestJet.

EXT. MT. RUSHMORE-NIGHT

ARCHIBALD
Okay, we're finally at Mt. Rushmore. And now, we fight to the death!

Archibald lunges at Dr. Christmas. Dr. Christmas holds up his fist. Archibald slams into it in midair and is knocked back. Archibald falls off the edge of the mountain and crashes along Thomas Jefferson's face.

ARCHIBALD
Ow! Ooh! Eee! Ah! Ouch! Oof! Oy!

(Use a stuntman for this shot. And by "stuntman", I mean "Strong Sad.")

He lands on the ground. Dr. Christmas is there.

ARCHIBALD
How did you get here so quickly?

DR. CHRISTMAS
Elevator.

ARCHIBALD
Of course!

DR. CHRISTMAS
Well, what say we get back to town and find the first Decemberween?

ARCHIBALD
Sounds like a plan!

And down to the airport they go.

End of Act II.
