And...hello again everyone! Its so nice to see you all again! And here I am, bringing you all Scene 1 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! I'm clapping very happily, as I announce that now, we're halfway through the musical, with only the 2nd Act of about 1 hour and 5 minutes remaining! This musical is just 2 hours and 30 minutes long, but with the 15-minute intermission that occurs between Act 1 and Act 2, the total time is a grand total 2 hours and 45 minutes, which is the amount of time that theatergoers are subject to be inside of the theater for. And yes, there will be a musical number within this scene! So, now that the 15-minute intermission is over, let's all just sit back, relax, and begin Scene 1 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
(It is now 8:40pm at night in New York City. The intermission has ended and all of the members of the entire audience of 1,460 are now re-seated back in their seats in the theater. The actors are ready for Act 2, as well as the musicians and the conductor in the orchestra pit. All of the theater lights and stage lights dim, and a spotlight shines down on the far-left side of the stage and the front-end of the left aisle. As it does, Elmyra appears from the aisle and happily skips up onto the far-left side of the stage, standing in that area, in front of the stage's front curtain/banner. As she appears once again, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly for her. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the audience died down. She then happily began to speak once again, of course, being very loud and annoying while doing so...)
Elmyra: HELLO EVERYONE! (waves wildly) ITS ME, ELMYRAAAAAAAAAA! Yes, yes, thank you! Thank you! Thank you all! Yep, I'm Elmyra and I'm BAAAAAAAACK! You see, I tried to see the cute mice earlier this evening but the 2 meanie security guards kicked me out! Ugh, what meanies, right?! Anyways, I snuck back in here through the stage door at the back, and now, HERE I AM! Now, to do what I wanted to do earlier...PLAY WITH THE MICE! YAY! Now, I think I'll do dress up first! No, wait, I'll do a tea party first! Wait...I think I'll do BOTH! YEAH! That's what I'll do! Now, to go find them! They MUST be around here somewhere...(looks left and right) Cute little mice, where are you?! COME ON OUT FOR LITTLE SWEET ELMRYA!
(Suddenly, the stage lights above the front area of the stage all light up, and the spotlight shining above Elmyra turns off. As it does, the Narrator enters stage left, with his book tucked under his left arm. He then walked towards the front-center area of the stage, but then noticed Elmyra...)
Narrator: And now, we shall continue our story! (takes book out from under his left arm) Now, we were at the part where...(notices Elmyra) Wait...hey kid, who are you?
Elmyra (looks confused): Who? Me? (looks up at the Narrator)
Narrator: Yes, you! W-Who are you and how did you get in here?!
Elmyra: It doesn't matter, sir! Now, come on and bring on the mice! (smiles)
Narrator: Alright, but you need to get off the stage first and go take your seat, just like everyone else in here is! (points to the entire audience)
Elmyra: NO! (puts arms to her side and clench fists) I want to see the mice first! NOW!
Narrator: That's not happening, young lady. Take your seat...now!
Elmyra (approaches the Narrator): I said...NO! (kicks Narrator in the groin)
(After Elmyra kicked the Narrator in the groin, the Narrator drops his book onto the floor, grabs onto his groin with both hands, and falls over on his side, with him still facing the entire audience. He screams in pain, causing the entire audience to burst out laughing. After about 30 seconds, the loud bursts of laughter dies down. As it does, the scene continues to take place...)
Elmyra: Now, LET ME SEE THE MICE OR ELSE I'LL KICK YOU IN THE NUTS AGAIN!
(Suddenly, the actors playing the 2 Security Guards from before enter stage left, and rush over as they witness the commotion. As they came into view, the entire audience cheered very loudly once again. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping died down. As it did, the scene continued to take place...)
Security Guard 1: What is going on out here...(notices Elmyra) Hey!
Elmyra (gasps): Uh oh...(backs up)
Security Guard 2 (points to Elmyra): You again?! How on Earth did you get back in here?
Elmyra: Hehehe...(rubs the back of her neck) I bought a ticket? (smiles nervously)
Narrator (looks up whole still holding his groin area): That's not true...ow...
Security Guard 1: Oh my gosh! Narrator, are you alright?!
Narrator (glares): Oh yes...I'm perfectly fine...I just happen to be LYING on the floor to TAKE A NAP! NO, OF COURSE I'M NOT ALRIGHT! (points to Elmyra) That little girl kicked me in the groin after I asked her to take her seat...but now, I see that she's not even supposed to be here, since it looks like you've dealt with her before...(grabs groin area again) Ow...and when I asked her how she got inside, she told me that she snuck inside via the stage door out back...ow!
Elmyra: Hehehehe...(tugs on shirt collar and looks nervous) Hi...?
Security Guard 1: Young lady, we kicked you out of this theater for getting up onto the stage LAST time, and you KNEW that you weren't welcomed back here! And now, before Act 2, you sneak back inside and step back onto the stage?!
Elmyra: Uh...w-w-w-well...(steps back)
Security Guard 1: Young lady, you better explain yourself, or else...
Elmyra (interrupting Security Guard 1): OKAY! FINE! I DID DO IT, OKAY?! I DID SNEAK IN, I DID GET UP ONSTAGE, AND I DID KICK THE GUARD IN THE GROIN!
Security Guard 2: That is despicable, young lady! You just broke the rules of this theater not once, but twice! Now, you need to leave...NOW! (points to the entry/exit door at the back of the left aisle)
Elmyra: I'm not leaving until I can see Pinky and The Brain! (huffs and folds arms)
Security Guard 1: That's it! If you wont leave, we're going to have to drag you out!
Elmyra: Not if you catch me first! (rushes forward, jumps over the conductor's hole of pf the partially-covered orchestra pit)
Security Guard 1: Ugh, not again with this kid! (rushes down the steps on the far-left side and races after Elmyra)
Security Guard 2 (jumps down the far-left side of the stage): Get back here, kid!
Elmyra: NEVER! (rushes down the aisle in between the very front row of seats to the right side) Run, run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm Elmyra Duff! YAY! (gets down on the floor and hides her head and shoulders underneath the first front-row seat in the right section of floor seats, surprising the random audience member, who gladly moves his legs out of the way) There! Now, you can't see me! HAHAHAHAHA!
Security Guard 1 (sighs and walks over to her on the left): Elmyra, just because you hide your head underneath one of the seats, it doesn't mean we can't see you!
Elmyra (groans, comes out from underneath seat, and stands up): Big stupid meanie! (covers her ears)
Security Guard 2 (walks over to Elmyra on the right): And just because your fingers are in your ears, it doesn't mean we can't hear you!
Elmyra (groans and uncovers her ears): Awww man! No fair!
Security Guard 1: Life isn't fair, kid. Now, come with us willingly or like I said, we're going to have to drag you out!
Elmyra: NEVER! (turns around, climbs back into the stage, and blows raspberry) Miss me! Miss me! Now you got to kiss me! HAHAHAHAHAHA! (runs towards the left side of the stage)
Security Guard 1: Oh no, you don't! (rushes back over to the steps on the left and quickly runs back onstage) I got you now!
Elmyra (stops when Security Guard 1 is now in front of her): Oh snap! (tries to turn around and run away in the other direction)
Security Guard 1 (grabs her and throws her over her right shoulder): GOTCHA! (carries her over her right shoulder) Thought you could get away a second time!?
Elmyra (kicking her feet and waving her arms wildly): HEY! PUT ME DOWN! NOOOOOOOO! PUT ME DOWN! LET ME GO! SOMEONE, HELP ME! THIS LADY IS TRYING TO BEAT ME!
Security Guard 2 (walks over to the steps on the left): Ha! Sorry young girl, but the manager regrets to inform you that its time to leave this theater once again!
Elmyra: LET ME GO! HELP! HEEEEEEEEEEELP! LET ME GO! YOU BIG MEANIES! I WON'T LET THIS GO UNPUNISHED! (continues to kick and wave wildly)
Security Guard 1 (to Security Guard 2): I'll get this girl out of here while you check on the Narrator. Alright?
Security Guard 2 (nods): Alright. (turns to the Narrator) You need a hand, sir? (holds out a hand)
Narrator (nods and grabs onto his hand): Yes, I do. Thanks.
(As Security Guard 2 helps the Narrator gets back onto his feet, the Narrator picks up his book while doing so, and finally stands back up on his feet. As he does, Security Guard 1 steps down the steps on the left side, and begins walking down the entire left aisle towards the entry/exit doors located at the back of the theater itself. As she does, a spotlight shines down on her, and Elmyra continues to throw a tantrum...)
Elmyra: NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO, RIGHT NOW! I'LL TELL MY MOMMY AND DADDY ABOUT THIS, AND YOU WILL BE SUED! LET ME GO! UT ME DOWN! NO, NO! I WON'T GO! NO, NO, I WON'T GO! NO, NO, I WON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(As Elmyra screams and throws her tantrum, Security Guard 1 reaches the very back of the left aisle, opens the exits door, steps outside with the screaming and kicking Elmyra, and closes the exit doors behind her. As they both disappear from the theater itself and the spotlight turns off. As it does, back onstage, Security Guard 2 and the Narrator speak to each other for a little bit...)
Security Guard 2: Sorry about that, Mr. Narrator, sir. (sighs) I don't understand WHY that little brat acts like that, but rest assured, I promise you that you won't be seeing her anymore after that. Are you going to be aright?
Narrator: Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine, don't worry. (nods)
Security Guard (nods): Good, good. Once again, I apologize. Anyways, I better head backstage and make sure that little girl doesn't come back into this theater. (gives a thumbs-up and turns around) You may start Act 2 now, sir! (exits stage left)
Narrator (sighs): Very well...(turns to face the entire audience) Anyways, sorry about that...MAJOR interruption, but now, that little girl is being dealt with for what she did, and we can FINALLY continue our story! (opens book and pretends to read from it) Now, a month had passed since that faithful day in April where Snowball had taken over the world and Pinky joined his side due to Snowball's manipulation skills. (turns page) Sadly, due to these events on said very day, a defeated Brain walked away from that whole event with nothing in his hands...(turns page) Not the world...not any many...and worst of all, not even with his now-former friend Pinky...(turns page) It was May of 1997, and in the "MicroSponge" cooperate office building on a warm evening, Snowball was gloating over his success and what he did to achieve said success...(exits stage left)
(As the Narrator exits stage left, the front banner backdrop of the exterior of the "ACME Labs" building from the cartoon and its skyline/background setting of the city of city of "ACME Falls" rises up, revealing a brand new setting behind it, that just happens to be Snowball's office. The office setting had a large dark-red wall panel positioned in the center area of the stage, concealing any other setting behind it. The setting also had a large wooden desk in the center area in front of the wall, as well as a large dark-purple leather swivel chair behind it. This desk had an expensive-looking laptop computer on it, as well as a stack of folders, a few books, and some pens. Seated in the swivel chair is none other than Snowball, who is doing some paperwork. Next to the desk and chair on the left is a large multileveled bookcase with stocked dozens of colorful books of various sixes, as well as a tall and luxurious golden lamp. On the right side of the desk and chair is a yellow-white tall 3-drawer file cabinet and a large wooden closet cabinet, as well as a large framed photo of himself and Brain posing together with smiles on their faces fixed onto the wall panel. Dangling above the center of the office setting was a large golden chandelier. As the front banner/backdrop rises up out of view, the first scene of Act 2 began to take place...)
Snowball: And...done! (finishes paperwork) All done with this budget planning paperwork! (holds up stack of paper sheets and grins) Man, aside from the hard toil of doing paperwork like this, this is the life! (places sheets of paper on stop of folder stack) Everything is just so perfect! Pinky is on my side, I have taken over the world, and now, BRAIN IS HOMLESS OUT ON THE STREET! (bursts out laughing) HAHAHAHAHAHA! (stands up) And the best part is...Pinky, while being on my side, also is so stupid! HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, he's such a brainless fool! What a knuckleheaded moron he was that night, simply joining me after Brain was sarcastic...good thing Pinky was stupid enough not to know that! HAHAHAHAHAHA! (walks around the desk and stands in front of it) Janet? (turns to the left) Janet, my secretary, please bring me some crackers, cookies, and hot chocolate please!
Offstage voice of Secretary Janet: Coming, Mr. Snowball, sir!
Snowball: Thank you! (faces forward again, facing the entire audience Ah yes...this is the life...this is the life, indeed! (steps forward) You know, sometimes in a moment like this, I like to sing a victory song...and guess what? I'm going to sing one right now! (clears throat) And this song is all about how stupid and dumb Pinky truly is for not understanding Brain's sarcasm on that faithful day! (grins)
(Suddenly, some upbeat jazz music begins to play in the background. As it does, Snowball begins to sing the first musical number of Act 2 of the show...)
Snowball (singing): As you can see,
Pinky is so stupid!
Stupid and dumb,
For a mouse like himself!
Pinky is very,
Dumb and stupid!
And of course,
He can't do anything right!
As you can see,
Pinky is so stupid!
He can't do,
A single thing right!
So, why on Earth would I want him near me?
Well, that is because,
I want to make Brain depressed!
As you can see,
I've done it all!
I accomplished so much,
Unlike Brain!
So I can sit back,
Relax, and eat some gourmet food,
And be happy on how smart I am! (begins to tap dance)
(As the upbeat jazz music continues to play in the background, the actress playing and dressed up Secretary Janet, a dark-green professional-looking dress and black pants, enters stage left, holding a silver tray with Snowball's snack order on it...)
Secretary Janet (enters stage left): Alright, I got your order, Mr. Snowball! (notices that Snowball is tap dancing) Woah, you can tap dance?! (places silver tray onto desk)
Snowball (stops tap dancing and turns to face Janet behind him): Oh, hey Janet! Thanks for the snack. And yes, I love tap dancing when I'm happy! Abd I'm happy that everything has worked out for me, and now, I rule the world! (pauses for a moment) Say Janet...do you know how to sing and dance?
Secretary Janet: Uh...yes? (steps forward to where Snowball is standing) Why do you ask?
Snowball (rubs hands together): Well, I'm doing a musical number, but I think I could use more vocals. Join me, please!
Secretary Janet: Uh...okay! (shrugs) What kind of lyrics do you have in mind? (stands next to Snowball on the left)
Snowball: Oh, its very simple but spontaneous. Just follow my lead and go from there! (clears throat) Ready?
Secretary Janet: I'll...I'll try!
Snowball (singing): As you can see,
Pinky is so stupid!
Stupid and dumb,
For a mouse like himself!
He is dumb and such a moron,
And his brain is probably,
As small as a grain of salt!
Secretary Janet (singing): Pinky is such as stupid mouse!
He doesn't know,
As much as we do!
And now that he's on Snowball's side...
Snowball (singing): We can both make,
The Brain very depressed!
Why didn't I do this scheme,
A long time ago in the past?
I could've ruled the world right then and there,
But instead I waited until now!
As you can see,
Pinky is so stupid!
Stupid and dumb,
For a mouse like himself!
Pinky is just a brainless moron,
One that can't even change a lightbulb...
Secretary Janet (singing): Or even read,
A simple book! (laughs)
Snowball (singing): Pinky just laughs and speaks in a funny way...
Secretary Janet (singing): He just says "Narf", "Poit", and "Zort"!
Snowball (singing): He jumps around wildly...
Secretary Janet (singing): He is so hyper...
Snowball (singing): He's a dummy...
Secretary Janet (singing): A knucklehead...
Snowball (singing): A moron...
Secretary Janet (singing): A British-sounding fool...
Snowball (singing): An idiot...
Secretary Janet (singing): A fool...
Snowball (singing): A dummy...
Secretary Janet and Snowball (singing): And basically every name in the book!
Yeah!
(At this point, the upbeat jazz music begins to key up a little. As it does, both Janet and Snowball hold hands together, and perform some tap dancing and high-up kicks. As they do this, they both sing the final words of the first musical number of Act 2...)
Secretary Janet and Snowball (singing): As you can see,
Pinky is such an idiot!
He's a fool,
And a dummy as well!
Snowball (singing): He is such a fool,
And doesn't know my true colors!
He is useless to me...
Secretary Janet (singing): Snowball has Pinky in his hands,
And Brain has no friend around anymore...
Secretary Janet and Snowball (singing): As you can see,
Pinky is so stupid!
Stupid and dumb,
For a mouse like himself!
And that just shows,
How...smart...Snowball is...
Snowball (singing): How smart I' am!
Yeah, how smart I' am!
Secretary Janet (singing): Yes, this all shows...just how smart...
Snowball (singing): I' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(The upbeat jazz music stops playing in the background, and the very first musical number of Act 2 finally ends. As it does, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, both Snowball and Secretary Janet step back away from the front-center area of the stage, As they do, the scene continues to take place...)
Snowball (laughs): Well, I'll just enjoy my snack now! (sits down) Ah...nothing like a nice snack after a nice song and gloating session! (takes a sip of his hot chocolate)
Secretary Janet: Well, I'll be outside on standby if you need me, Mr. Snowball! (smiles and waves) See you later! (exits stage let)
Snowball (outs down mug of hot chocolate): Thank you, Janet. (sighs happily) Now, let's eat this deliciously-prepared snack! (begins to eat one of the cookies)
(As Snowball begins to eat one of the cookies, the stage lights shinning above the front and center areas of the stage dim. As they do, some transitional music begins to play in the background. As it does, another set transition begins, as the golden chandelier rises up out of view. Then, the desk and swivel chair both disappear below the stage via sliding trapdoor and hydraulic lift. As they do, the large bookcase and tall lamp slid out of view on the left. As they did, the large file cabinet slide out of view on right. As they did, the dark red wall panel rose up out of view, and revealed a massive setting resembling part of the "Pinkyland" amusement park behind it. This part of the set came complete with a massive set piece of large white wooden support beams decorated with colorful blinking lights for the roller coaster, which is covering the back of the stage. In front of these support beams on the left is a colorful cotton candy stand, and in front of the support beams on the right is a colorful corn dog stand. As the wall panel rises up out of view, a large "Tilt-A-Whirl" ride set piece slid into view over on the front-right side of the stage, and a large "Zipper" ride slid into view on the front-left side of the stage. All over the setting, a couple of male ensemble actors dressed up as Carnies are positioned all over the setting, either next to the rides and/or operating and running the food stands. Then, a 2-foot all wooden platform surrounded by metal railing a set of steps on the left rose up into view in the center area of the stage via a sliding trapdoor and hydraulic lift. As it comes into view, the stage lights shinning above the front, center, and back areas of the stage come back on. As they do, some basic carnival ambience music begins to play in the background. As it does, several other adult ensemble members and about 8 child actors playing children attendees are spread out all over the place, making this place seem like an actual operating amusement park. As the set transitioned completes, the Narrator enters stage left, stands in the front-center area of the stage, opens up his book, and begins to Narrate to the audience once again...)
And that was the long-awaited conclusion of Scene 1 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! And it seems that Snowball is gloating all about his success of taking over the world! And it seems that he's also calling Pinky stupid and dumb behind his back...poor Pinky, too oblivious and blinded by all his luxuries to realize Snowball's true colors. And Snowball...man, he's just an inconsiderate jerk, isn't he? And Snowball's act-opening musical number was based off of the real-life song, "Telly" from the popular Broadway and London/West End musical, "Matilda: The Musical"! Anyways, its so happy to be back with this show after it's 15-minute intermission, and this musical will soon reach it's end! Well, its time for us all to move on to Scene 2 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
