Toronto Police Station, July 22, 1993. 10:33 pm.
Ted is sitting in a cell.
OLDER TED: That night was scary. I was being booked for a crime I did not commit. Even worse, I was being booked in a foreign country. As I sat in the cell, the only thought on my mind was if I'd ever see the USA again, even if it meant being grounded for the rest of my life. Bail had been set at 10,000 US dollars, and I knew my parents would rather disown me than pay that.
Enter warden.
WARDEN: [handing him a telephone] Okay, Mosby. You are allowed one telephone call.
TED: [dials phone] Hello, Marriot Toronto? Please connect me to room, 1102.
Hotel room 1102.
Phone rings. Heather picks up.
HEATHER: Hello?
TED: Heather, it's Ted. Somebody framed me and got me arrested at the concert tonight. I am sitting at a cell in the Toronto police station, and they are asking about the equivalent of 10000 American dollars! Please get me out of here and don't tell Mom or Dad; they'll kill me!.
HEATHER: Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Cut scene to Heather walking down the streets of Toronto at night.
OLDER TED: After a few minutes of thinking, your Aunt Heather decided to track down Robin to plead her to release me and prove my innocence. It was pretty easy to track Robin down. She found a local newspaper that featured an article about not only how Robin Sparkles was performing in Toronto, but also about which hotel she was staying. That's Canadian privacy for you. So she went to the hotel where Robin was staying and…
Cut Scene to Hotel Lobby
HEATHER: I'm looking for Robin Sparkles. I am big fan of hers and I want her autograph.
FRONT DESK LADY: I'm sorry [still pronounced "sohree"], I am not at liberty to tell you which room she is staying at.
HEATHER: But I came so long and far. If I don't see her, I'll die!
FRONT DESK LADY: Sorry, no can do!
OLDER TED: Now this is how Aunt Heather explained it. She jumped over the desk and punched the lady in the stomach. As she fell on the floor, your aunt pinned her with her feet. She got on the computer and quickly typed up Robin Sparkles… no results. So she just typed "Robin". She got two results, one Coleman and other with a weird name that looked Russian but started with an S. Aunt Heather quickly deduced that the one the Russian last name must be that your stepmom. She took note of the room number ran for the elevator…
[Front desk lady gets up]
FRONT DESK LADY: SECURITY! SECURITY! [picks up phone] Hello? Get me the police!
Cut scene to floor where Robin is staying. Heather runs to find the room where Robin is staying. She find the room and knocks on the door. Door opens, Robin Sparkles appears.
ROBIN: Hello, how may I help you?
OLDER TED: …and that's how Aunt Heather met Robin Sparkles.
HEATHER: Hello, Miss Sparkles. My name is Heather Mosby! I'm from the States. My brother…
[Suddenly two Mounties enter and slip handcuffs on Heather]
MOUNTIE 1: Madam, you're coming with us. You are under arrest.
HEATHER: I need to talk to Miss Sparkles! Let me go! Hey! Aren't you gonna read me my Miranda rights?
MOUNTIE 2: Silly American! US laws do not run in Canada!
End of Act 6.
