Polly's song is not from The Mikado, it's 'Sukiyaki' by 'A Taste Of Honey'
Scene 4
Interior of the Pizza Place
(The sounds of screaming 'No, No, NO!!! I won't! I refuse, he can't MAKE me!!', throwing, breaking is heard from upstairs. FRANCINE is by the counter, wiping the tables, trying to ignore the commotion, but cringing whenever she hears another thing break. GUIDO is sitting on one of the counter with his chin in his hands in complete shock over what has just occurred, but ignoring the rant upstairs like he's used to it.)
FRANCINE (to herself):
I'm NOT paying for that! (another crash) or that. (another crash) or that!
GUIDO:
Man, I can't believe this! I honestly can't.
FRANCINE:
Her room must look like a garbage dump by now!
GUIDO:
Oh let hr get it out of her system, Francine. You and I BOTH know it's tentamount to suicide for either one of us to even TRY to go up there with her in the state she's in!
FRANCINE (as another crash is heard):
Well, one of us should try to calm her down while she still has stuff up there that isn't smashed!
GUIDO:
You eager to be decapitated, Francine? (as if to answer him another HUGE crash is heard)
FRANCINE:
On second thought….sheeeeee's got a lot of issues to work out. (GUIDO nods. FRANCINE changes the subject) So, have you seen Speedy?
GUIDO:
He left. (shakes head) Man I can't believe this, I cannot BELIEVE this!! God why her? Of all the lady cats in Little Tokyo, he HAD to choose HER!!! (slams hand on counter)
FRANCINE:
Don't you start too!
GUIDO:
Well, I just feel so helpless. Due to this stupid law and Vi's dumb decision my two best friends have had their lives ruined and I can't do anything about it. I only hope Speedy knows what he;s doing.
FRANCINE:
Oh, Dear, I hope he's alright! He loves Polly so much, I bet this is just killing him.
GUIDO:
He said something about trying to go talk to Big Cheese about his decision.
FRANCCINE:
Good luck with that!
GUIDO:
I know. But Speedy is determined to have his say with him and to try to get him to change his mind. I know Speedy when he gets that look in his eyes. (POLLY slowly comes down the stairs, looking like she went a few rounds with the karate kid. Her eyes are big and glassy like she had been crying and her knuckles are red like she has just stopped throwing things. FRANCINE ad GUIDO look at her like this is normal)
FRANCINE
Are you finished? Feel better?
POLLY (sarcastically):
Or sure. I'm great. I ONLY just found out that the one I despise more than anything on Earth just informed me he's chosen me to be his wife and I HAVE to marry him next week, no ifs, ands, or buts, and the one I love more than anything just had his heart broken and I can't do anything about it. Other that that, sure, I'm just swell. Pop open a bottle of soda and let's make a toast! Toast my stupid, STUPID LIFE!!! (she wipes dishes angrily off the table and throws herself down upon it, burying her head in her arms. She starts sobbing as GUIDIO and FRANCINE look on helplessly.) Damn Cheese, Damn this rule, damn thos WHOLE THING!! DAMN MY LIFE!!!!!
GUIDO (gets up and carefully puts arm around POLLY):
It's OK, It's OK, just let it out.
POLLY (looks up):
Where's Speedy? Is he OK? Oh God, I can't forget the look on his face…he's so hurt…and I can't do anything!
FRANCINE:
He went to talk to Big Cheese.
GUIDO:
Which indicates, he should be flying through the wall any minute! (he laughs at his joke while POLLY and FRANCINE give him LOOKS He quickly stops)
POLLY:
Guido, hand me the frying pan, there?
GUIDO (starts, but then stops):
No, you're gonna hit me with it.
POLLY:
No, Guido, I won't hit you this time.
GUIDO:
Ya promise?
POLLY:
I promise. (GUIDO gives frying pan to POLLY. POLLY hands it to FRANCINE who proceeds to wallop GUIDO over head, and gives it back to POLLY. GUIDO puts hands up and POLLY rises) I'm going out in the backyard for a walk. (FRANCINE and GUIDO nod. POLLY exits. Front door opens and GOOD BIRD enters. He looks like a NINJA CROW, complete with green armor, but he's on the side of the CATS. He looks sad and sympathetic.)
GOOD BIRD:
Hi, guys.
GUIDO:
Aftrnoon, Good Bird.
GOOD BIRD:
Forgive me, your door was open.
FRANCCINE:
It's OK, Good Bird. Come on in, poor yourself a soda.
GOOD BIRD (sits):
Thanks. Sooooooo..how's the Poor Bride To Be of the Big Cheese?
GUIDO:
Just as well as you'd expect.
GOOD BIRD:
Room look like a hurricane went through it?
FRANCINE:
Pretty much.
GOOD BIRD:
Had a feeling. Where is she anyway?
GUIDO:
She went for a walk in the backyard. She's got a lot to work out.
Scene 5
Backyard of the Pizza Place. We see what looks like a lovely garden in the foreground, complete with a small waterfall. There's a white circular cement boarder around it. POLLY enters from back door and sits down upon it.
POLLY:
Oh, Speedy, please forgive me. You know you're the last one I ever want to hurt. (music starts as she looks down) I don't know why this is happening. Pleasee know that I love you. I've always loved you so much…oh maybe this is my fault. If I told you how I felt BFORE the comet…maybe we would have been married already and Big Cheese wouldn't be able to do this! Speedy…please know I do lov you…
Sings:
It's all because of him, I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away now,
My love is just a rainy day
I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely
Unintentional memory
Seemed to depart to me
Of love that's true
That one day turned my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin you were here with me
Stop this love that I have for you
Now that it must be gone I don't know what to do
If only you were here,
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine and
Once again you'd be mine, all mine.
But in reality, I know it will never be
Cause he took your love away from me,
(NINJA CROWS burst in just as the song is finishing)
NINJA CROW #1:
Polly Ester?
POLLY (rises):
That's me.
NINJA CROW #1:
Under Orders from His Honor Seymore Cheese, we are required to bring you personally to his mansion where he has required an audience with his bride to be!
POLLY:
You tell him to go stick his kimono where the sun don't shine. I'm not gojng!
NINJA CROW #2:
You are his betrothed and you MUST come see him, that is NOT a request.
POLY:
No.
NINJA CROW #3:
There is no 'No's' about it. You KNOW the rules. He has chosen you, you are required to marry him next Thursday, and he wishes to meet with you NOW!
AL DANTE (appearing from the group)
Polly, pleasee don't make this more difficult than it already is.
POLLY (starts to run):
I do NOT want to see him! He's ALREADY ruined my life!! (AL DANTE runs and stops her)
AL DANTE:
POLLY! You have no choice. Let;s go and get this over with!
POLLY (starts to retract her claws):
NO!!
AL DANTE:
Don't you retract those claws at ME, Missy! Let's not forget who your boss still is. (POLLY calms down and just looks sad) Now, let's go.
(they exit)
