"Do I hafta do this?" Sam asked.
"You do have the closest accent...and we aren't putting Rogue in drag for this," Todd explained.
"Damn straight," Rogue agreed, sitting on Todd's lap.
Sam started to sing, with the other guys as backup. "IFather, we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons -- well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky Kurt we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Kurt the things that you stood for Like -- er/I"
"ITruth and light/I" Ray yells.
"INever die
When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows not fear
To wrestle with a goat
His blood-stained coat is tribute to his final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak but his soul's in paradise./I"
Jubilee started singing operatically in the background as Sam spoke.
"So long, little Joe
Adios, buckaroo
Ten-four, good buddy."
The boys started to sing again. "IThere's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Kurt the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Carve his name with pride and courage
Let no tear be shed If he had not laid down his life we all would now be dead
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Kurt we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by.../I"
"Cut! Israelites offstage! Tabby, Amara, Scaleface, Wanda, Danielle! Get into the handmaiden outfits!" Jamie shouted.
The girls came out in scanty outfits. "Do I have to wear this?" Danielle complained.
"Yes!" Ray shouted, seeing the sight of Scaleface in a very revealing costume.
"The Authoress likes to keep her characters happy...the ones she likes, in the 'ships she likes. Tabby with Amara, Scaleface with Ray, Wanda with Kurt...and you...well, she felt obligated to put you in, since she's Native American, too."
B Red folks represent/B
The scene changed, to the inside of a vast Egyptian mansion. At centre stage was...Caliban?
"I hate my life," he moaned.
B Buck up. Remember what I promised you after this scene? All you have to do is this little number, and then you get a special little number of your own...wink wink nudge nudge.../B
"IPotiphar had very few cares
I was one of Egypt's millionairesss
Having made a fortune buying sharesss
In pyramids
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
Meant that I could really live in ssstyle and I did.../I" The girls danced around Caliban, making little 'mwah mwah' noises. Caliban continued singing.
"IKurt was an unimportant sslave who found he liked his masster
Consequently worked much harder, even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Kurt was a cut above the average
Made him leader of the houssehold, maximum promotion
Potiphar was cool and ssso fine
But hiss wife would never toe the line
It's all there in chapter thirty-nine Of Genesisss.../I"
Scene shows Kitty, in very risqué costume, lying on a chaise. "Do I have to be married to...ugh...him?"
B I like this ship. Besides, would you rather me pair you with my –other- favorite comicverse pairing for you/B
Kitty blanched. "You're evil. Very, very evil."
B What else is new/B
Caliban continued singing. "ISshe was beautiful but evil
Saw a lot of men against hiss will
He would have to tell her that sshe still
Was his.../I." He glared at Kitty. "MY Kittypryde!"
"Oh, G-d," Kitty moaned.
Caliban ignored the complaint and kept singing.
"I Kurt's lookss and handsome figure had attracted her attention
Every morning sshe would beckon/I"
"I Come and lie with me love/I" Kitty purred.
Caliban continued. "I Kurt wanted to resisst her, till one day she proved too eager
Kurt cried in vain/I"
"I Please stop! I don't believe in free love/I" He paused. "Well, actually, I do, but this isn't a Kurtty."
The scene changed to show Caliban in another room, counting pile after pile of money, as he started to sing. "IPotiphar was counting sshekels in his den below the bedroom
When he heard a mighty rumpus clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his richess couldn't buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy if sshe didn't love him.../I"
Callisto popped back onstage. "I Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door/I"
Caliban roared. "IKurt, I'll ssee you rot in jail!
The things you have done are beyond the pale/I"
The girls danced and sang around Kurt. "IPoor poor Kurt, locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell.../I"
"That's a wrap!"
B See, Caliban? You did it! And your reward, as promised: Kitty. /B
Caliban grinned and dragged Kitty into his dressing room.
B I take care of my favorites...and punish those I don't like.../B
"Why do I have a feeling she's staring at me?" Scott asked.
Jamie checked his clipboard. "Because she has you down for a bad role in the next parody. You do get a song, though."
Scott groaned. "Perfect."
