"The Villain of Mystery Island"

by D. Chapelle

Some Excerpts:

PRUDENCE: The boat horn!

AMBER: (Startled.) What!!!

KLAUS: Miss Giving seems a bit nervous.

FLOUNCY: If she was any more nervous she'd be a patient in this place.

KLAUS: Now there's an idea.

AMBER: I really wish you people would stop sneaking up on me.

PRUDENCE: I didn't mean to scare you Miss Giving.

AMBER: You didn't scare me, Prudence. Now, how may I help you, dear?

PRUDENCE: (Calm, yet confused.) You want to help me? Did I want something?

KLAUS: It's like watching a squirrel chase its tail.

PRUDENCE: Oh, silly me, now I remember! The boat horn. (She again becomes wild eyed and frantic.) Did I hear the boat horn? Is the boat from the mainland here? Please tell me the boat is here!

AMBER: The boat is here.

PRUDENCE: Good. (She goes merrily away.) Tra-la-la-la. Tra-la-la-la.

AMBER: Mrs. Partridgeberry suffers from nervous exhaustion.

FLOUNCY: That and the fact that's she's nuttier than Aunt Betty's fruitcake.

AMBER: Nurse Flouncy!

FLOUNCY: Hey, it's not my fault her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

AMBER: We must be kinder and more understanding with our guests.

FLOUNCY: Yes, Miss Giving.

AMBER: Now, if you'll excuse me I'll go and greet our guests.

KLAUS: I bet you can't say that three times fast.

AMBER: Go and greet our guests. Go and greet our guests. Go and greet our guests. Why did you ask me to do that?

KLAUS: Never mind.

 


KLAUS: I need to get into the radio room to send a message to Captain Spud.

SPUD: (Entering.) That won't be necessary, matey! It's high time we got somethin' done around here.

FLOUNCY: Does that mean we get off the island now?

SPUD: It means you're about to get the deep six, missy.

FLOUNCY: Is that a bad thing?

SPUD: Bad for you. Good for hungry sharks. Arrrrgh!

FLOUNCY: You better do something before I have to.

KLAUS: And what do you think you can do?

FLOUNCY: I can run a lot faster in these shoes than you think I can.

KLAUS: I love your team spirit.

FLOUNCY: Yeah, well, I used to be a cheerleader you know.

SPUD: And I don't care!!!! Now arrre ya goin' to get somethin' done or are ya walkin' the plank?

KLAUS: You can bring Mr. Big to the island now.

FLOUNCY: And why is that?

KLAUS: Because I'm about to get the island under my control.

FLOUNCY: Don't you really think you should actually have the island in your control before you tell him that?

KLAUS: Don't you trust me?

FLOUNCY: No!

KLAUS: Lovely!

SPUD: Ya know what'll happen if you disappoint Mr. Big, don'tcha?

KLAUS: We are about to get control of the island, and I want Mr. Big to be here when that happens.

SPUD: Just be sure it happens. Arrrgh!!! (Spud exits.)

FLOUNCY: So who is this Mr. Big guy?

KLAUS: Our bankroll. He's the man with the money. A big-time gambler out of Chicago who knows how to win, and doesn't like losing.

FLOUNCY: What happens when he loses?

KLAUS: Let's just say he's never been convicted. Now then, about the radio?

FLOUNCY: What about the radio?

KLAUS: Haven't you been paying attention?

FLOUNCY: You usually make more sense if I only listen to every third word. Why do you need the radio now?

KLAUS: In case I have to call Spud. Do you know how to use the radio?

FLOUNCY: Well, I don't and the usual radio operator got a job with one of those new television stations on the mainland.

KLAUS: Ha! That'll never catch on.
