Scene 14 - Back in court, Kim's down after failing with Drakken.
Defense Lawyer Effie M. Bondie: Kim, if you don't mind me asking, why do you care so much?
Kim: I…
Ron: Kim's not used to failure, Ms. Bondie. Especially in front of her father! This case will sure make family conversation at the dinner table a bit awkweird.
Effie: How so?
Ron: Since Mr. Dr. P's known Drakken, well, Drew actually, for a long time.
Effie: Really?
Ron: Oh yeah! They go way back!
Effie: Interesting.
Effie goes back to studying the court transcripts.
Kim: Thanks for the save, Ron!
Ron: Always, KP! You know I've got your back!
Kim: I know! I couldn't do this without you, Ron!
Kim hugs Ron.
Ron: Check that. And it's not as if what I said was wrong.
Kim: Yeah, but dealing with my dad's cake compared to…
Kim notices Drakken staring at her, but he just as quickly turns away.
Ron: What?
Kim: Nothing. Just a random thought.
Judge Liverlips McGrowl: Does the defense rest?
Effie: No, your honor. The defense calls Dr. James Timothy Possible to the stand!
The crowd murmurs lightly.
Prosecutor Fox: Objection, your honor! Jury tampering!
The crowd murmurs loudly.
Judge: Order! Order in the court! Counsel! My bench! Now!
Judge: You had best have a good explanation for this, Ms. Bondie! Appearances to the contrary, I do not run a zoo here!
Effie; Ah know that, your honor. Ah need Dr. Possible to testify for my client.
Fox: He's on the jury, your honor! Such blatant jury tampering should go unrewarded!
Effie: Your honor, Dr. Possible was on the witness list before he was on the jury! So placing him on the jury constituted witness tampering, would it not?
Fox: I'll see you disbarred for this!
Effie: Better than you have tried, Fox!
Judge: Enough! You absolutely need this witness?
Effie: Dr. Possible has known the defendant for many years. Therefore, his testimony is crucial to the defense of my client.
Judge: I'll allow it. But this had better be good, Ms. Bondie! Objection overruled.
Fox seethes.
Dr. J.T. Possible on the witness stand.
Effie: You've known the defendant, Dr. Drakken, a long time, sir?
Dr. Possible: Yes. Since college. Although back then he was Drew Lipsky.
Effie: I see. Was he dangerous back then?
Dr. Possible: Only to himself!
Effie: He had no Doomsday Decimators or similar world conquering devices?
Dr. Possible: Oh no! He was pretty pathetic, actually! He couldn't even make a simple robot!
We needed dates for the mixer, and…
Effie: That's enough, sir. Tell me, Dr. Possible: Do you love your daughter, Kim?
Dr. Possible: Yes, of course I do!
Effie: For how long?
Dr. Possible: Ever since my wife gave birth to her and I saw her beautiful eyes! Oh, and she also has the cutest little birthmark right over here (points to upper thigh).
Crowd laughs.
Drakken and Shego giggle.
Kim: Dad! It's bad enough you tell perfect strangers! Do you have to tell my archfoes, too?
Dr. Possible: Sorry, Kimmiecub!
Effie: Ahem! So you love your daughter and would do anything for her?
Dr. Possible: Yes!
Effie: And yet you allow her to face the defendant and his mad take-over-the-world schemes not once, not twice, but numerous times! Why?
Dr. Possible: He…I…
Pause
Effie: We'll return to that question in a moment. Tell me, sir, has Drakken ever hurt your daughter? Broken leg, sprained ankle, singed eyebrow, bruised pinky?
Dr. Possible: No. Not that I'm aware of.
Effie: So, could it be that the reason you allow Kimberly to face Dr. Drakken time and time again is because, in your heart, you know the defendant is no threat to her?
Dr. Possible: I, yes, that's true.
Effie: So your little Kimmiecub, whom you love more than anything, is just as safe battling Dr. Drakken and his 'Doomsday Decimators' in some faraway mountain lair as if she was in the warmth and comfort of home with you and your family?
Dr. Possible (surprised): Yes. That's, that's right.
Crowd is silent.
Rufus drops a pin.
Ron (Whispers): Rufus! Cut it out!
Effie: Thank you, sir. That will be all.
Fox: Prosecution declines to cross-examine.
Ron: Boo-yah! Score one for us!
Kim: Good job, Effie!
Effie: Ah try.
Shego: Wow. And Fox can't cross-examine or he risks turning a member of the jury against him! That's as evil as anything I've ever done!
Drakken stares straight ahead. He had either ignored the proceedings or treated them with contempt. Now he was speechless, and confused.
How's that for a last-minute save?
'Course, you know things are about to head south now, right?
But even though you know what the story's about,
and have a feeling that Drakken will say something to Kim,
you won't be able to predict what happens next,
as the first installment of the Last Kim Possible Story
rushes headlong towards its riveting conclusion!
But here's a clue - forgo your umbrage and you'll sense it
(oooh, getting all riddlery!)
