Scripts For Sale "Goodbody's Gold" by D. Chapelle Some Excerpts: SUGAR: They have left me alone in the house with no one to defend me or protect me against evil villains or evil doers'. FOWLER: (Aside) Seems almost too good to be true (To Sugar) I'm sorry to bother you, but silly me, I forgot my hat. (Aside) Forgot my hat my foot! It is only a ploy to sneak back here and do what a villain's gotta do. (To Sugar) May I ask you a question? SUGAR: You just did. FOWLER: Then may I ask you another? SUGAR: You just did. FOWLER: Stop that!....Now tell me. Do you have any interest in that Bob Faithful fellow? SUGAR: (Embarrassed) Grammie likes him. FOWLER: That wasn't the question. SUGAR: He is a good, hard working man. FOWLER: But do you like him? SUGAR: Maybe. FOWLER: But, dear girl, a young lady of your beauty and breeding shouldn't settle for a common miner. You should look for a man who knows his way around the world. And my dear I have been around the world. TEDDI: I just never seem to have the time. I was thinking you could help me out a little. Here. Now. BOB: Help you? Here? Now? What would people say? What would people think? TEDDI: Who cares! (She sits on his lap) BOB: Wouldn't a chair be more comfortable? TEDDI: Those nasty old chairs are so hard and cold. And you're so soft...and warm. BOB: (Clearing his throat) Well then, that loan. Exactly how much do you think you'll need? TEDDI: How much have you got? BOB: Well you...you know, I bet the first question Mr. Cash is going to ask is why you need...need the loan. Is it...is this loan to be personal or business in nature? TEDDI: Which would be more fun for you? BOB: What I want shouldn't...don't make any difference. As Mr. Cash is a friend of mine, I'm only tryin' to figure out what you want to tell him. I'm here...I mean he's there...We're here to serve you. Miss Bustier. TEDDI: Oh, I do like the way you talk! BOB: Do you have collateral? TEDDI: I used to, but it cleared up. Tell me Bob, I can call you Bob, can't I? BOB: Okay. TEDDI: Do you think I'm pretty, Bob? BOB: That...that has nothing to do with business. SUGAR: You know, perhaps I don't use enough sugar in the recipe? Maybe too many lemons. Maybe I should read the recipe again? Now where did I leave that silly old recipe? GRAMMIE: I think it's right next to your recipe for the ice. SUGAR: I'll bet that is where I left it. (Exits.) GRAMMIE: It might jist be me, but there sure does seem to be some strange goin's on goin' on around here.' FOWLER: (Bursting in) Greetings and good evening, Grammie. GRAMMIE: Well, it was a good evening 'till your ugly puss showed itself. FOWLER: Forgive me. I feel so much a part of this family I was already here before I realized I should announce myself. GRAMMIE: Well, you might be a part of this family, if, and this is a mighty big if, IF this here family was a family of SNAKES! FOWLER: Isn't it time you took a nap or something? (Aside.) A long permanent nap in a pine box. GRAMMIE: Now you listen to me you dang blamed blue tailed crook! I don't know what you're up to, but I know you're up to somthin'! I'm tellin you sure as I'm standin' here you ain't gonna get away with it! You ain't gettin' away with nothin'! Now I said my piece, I'll be goin'. FOWLER: Back to your pigs? GRAMMIE: Nope. I got me a quiche coolin' down for lunch. I'll tell Sugar you're here. |
