Disclaimer: I don't own Urinetown.
Author's Note: The movie has been cast, and now it has to be filmed! Can Cladwell really expect his staff to have magically learned how to act in the meantime? How many interruptions can they stand? And what is this movie even about?
The first scenes that got filmed were the ones that took place in the UGC building. This was because it was convenient. As it turned out, the movie needed a lot more actors and some extras. In this way, practically the entire staff got to participate. However, Cladwell locked McQueen in his office because that wasn't the image he wanted to cultivate in the minds of the masses. The door was just ignored.
Senator Fipp's character, Mr. Smith, worked for the UGC. Of course, the narrator was there as well. Those scenes went pretty smoothly, except for the time when the door wasn't locked properly and McQueen popped out in his underwear, and the times when pretty much everyone's horrible acting got in the way, and the time when Ms. Brotworst decided it was an appropriate moment for a tap number, and the time when Mrs. Millennium walked by, and the time when a monkey ran through the shot and peed all over Cladwell. That was the last straw.
"MORT!" Cladwell screamed.
"Yes, boss?" said Dr. Mort, appearing at Cladwell's side.
"How many times do I have to tell you, the animal testing chamber is to be locked at all times? I am trying to film a movie here that will tell everyone how beautiful and wonderful our world will soon be, I don't need monkeys peeing all over it! All I can say is, thank dollars that smells aren't transmitted over film!" (Did you really expect Caldwell B. Cladwell to say "thank goodness"?) "The Stink Years are past! If I didn't know better, I'd say they had returned, which is exactly what we're trying to prevent! Lockstock!"
"Yes, Mr. Cladwell?"
"To Urinetown with this man! NOW!"
"No! NOOOOOOOO!" screamed Dr. Mort. It was useless, however. Lockstock tied a blindfold over his eyes and dragged him away. Soon after, they heard a great "NOOOOOOOOOO (breath) OOOOOOOOOOOO!" and a thud. Lockstock returned, dusting off his hands, and they were about to return to the film when Cladwell noticed that everyone who wasn't actually in the scene had poked their heads out of their offices to look on (including McQueen, in his underwear again).
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Cladwell yelled at his staff. "Get back to work, now! And McQueen, keep your clothes on!"
"But Mr. Cladwell, you make me wear pants appropriate to my gender! I can't possibly keep them on!"
"You're lucky I let you wear hot-pink three-inch heels with sparkles on them—why do I let you do that anyway? Go away!" yelled Cladwell, hypnotizing everyone again. Sure enough, the doors closed and the faces disappeared. Cladwell suddenly realized he had lost the link to his two child actors, who certainly wouldn't be too happy with him. Looked like he was going to end up using Hope after all.
