Scripts For Sale "Revenge of the Baron's Revenge" by D. Chapelle Some Excerpts: BARON: Some things never change. (The Baron steps into the light. He turns to speak to Helga.) Good evening, Angel. HELGA: Charles! (Helga rushes into the Baron's arms.) ROGI: (Aside.) Hmm, looks like she knows him after all. HELGA: Charles, it's so good to see you. How long have you been here? BARON: Since the beginning, Angel. I've been hiding in the shadows keeping an eye on things, and I must say you've made excellent progress, Dr. Graveshousen. ROGI: (Opening her arms for an embrace.) Baron! BARON: Hello … Rogi. HELGA: You know this person? BARON: I'm afraid I do. Dr. Graveshousen, allow me to present my former assistant … Rogi. HELGA: So, you're the famous Rogi? ROGI: That depends on who you talk to, Dr. Graveshousen. Wait a minute … Dr. Graveshousen? BARON: Helga is an old and very dear friend from my days at university. She was, and is, my Angel of the laboratory. ROGI: So you're a mad scientist too, huh? HELGA: I prefer being known as a xeno-pharmacologist. ROGI: And just what does that mean? HELGA: Anything I want it to mean. BARON: Helga specialized in synthesizing psychoactive compounds to reach deep into the subconscious mind. ROGI: I'm glad I asked. HELGA: The Baron has asked me for my assistance with a … small problem. ROGI: And you dropped everything just to join him? HELGA: I would do anything for Charles. BARON: But what about you Rogi? What are you doing here? ROGI: I knew you'd return one day and I … I knew you'd need my help once you did return. When I heard the castle was being reopened I just knew you'd return. BARON: So you decided to return and make my life even more miserable than it is. ROGI: Yes! I mean no! I just want to help you, Baron. BARON: You want to help me? ROGI: That's all I've ever wanted, Herr Baron. BARON: If you really want to help … Then leave!!! ROGI: We've always had a love hate relationship. He just loves to hate me. HELGA: Baron, as much as I hate to say this, perhaps it would be best if she stayed. ROGI: Really? BARON: You have got to be kidding. HELGA: Emma has come to regard her as something of a pet. And she has already been of use to me without knowing what she was doing. BARON: She seldom knows what she's doing. ROGI: Hello? I am still here. EDDIE: Ahh, home at last! It was good of you to walk me to the castle, Constable. CONSTABLE: Ah, it is no trouble at all. And you must call me Timmy. EDDIE: I must? CONSTABLE: It would be nice. Anyway, it is nice to get away from the burdens of the job for awhile. EDDIE: I would have thought things would be nice and quiet around here with the Baron gone. CONSTABLE: For the most part, but … but there is something I must tell you, Herr Doozlehoff. (The constable looks around to be sure they are alone.) EDDIE: Yes, Constable? CONSTABLE: I must tell you … I just love what you have done with the castle. It is so bright, so cheery. EDDIE: Really? You know … you know you're right. The old barn does look really nice. CONSTABLE: I am a policeman. I notice these things. EDDIE: I think Emma should be getting the credit for this. I've been so busy with business in London I've barely had time for anything else. CONSTABLE: And business has been good I hear. EDDIE: Very good! You know, I had no idea that you could make this much money from toys. CONSTABLE: I especially like your Betty Boo Hoo Doll. She is so cuddly and so very cute! EDDIE: You have one? CONSTABLE: Me? No! My … my daughter has one. I got one for my daughter. EDDIE: Constable, I thought you were a bachelor? CONSTABLE: My niece! I got one for my niece. Why all of these questions? I am the policeman here. I should be the one asking the questions! EDDIE: All-righty then. You know, Constable, I think I'm going to find my beautiful wife. I can't wait to see her again. CONSTABLE: Then perhaps you may want to look behind you. EDDIE: Emma! Oh, Emma, it's so good to … Emma? … Constable, there seems to be something wrong with Emma. CONSTABLE: She appears to be in a trance. EDDIE: What could have caused something like that? CONSTABLE: It could be that someone has synthesized a psychoactive compound to reach deep into the subconscious mind and thereby create a trance like state. EDDIE: What? CONSTABLE: It is just a guess. |
