Once inside the
ampitheater, guests choose a row and are seated.
The auditorium has been set up so that the seats
to the back can get a
good view of the award ceremony. To the right
of the stage (Which is
covered by a blue curtain showcasing the Imagination
Institute logo) is
a small monitor which will display close ups taken
with another of
Donatello's inventions, the hands-free video camera
helmet. Below the
screen is a podium, where a Section 13 assistant
begins his safety
instructions.
SECTION 13 ASSISTANT
Ladies and Gentlemen, please put on your safety
goggles now.
These will protect you from any flying debris
that can occur during any
scientific demostration. And once again I'd like
to remind you there is
no eating, drinking, videotaping, flash photography...
Suddenly a machine from behind the curtain zaps
the podium,
causing a flash of light and puff of smoke. The
assistant hits the deck
to avoid being hit, peeks back up to check if
the coast is clear before
reminding the guests of another NO-NO.
SECTION 13 ASSISTANT
And no smoking please. Enjoy the show and good
luck.
As the assistant exits stage left or right, lights
begin to
shine from behind the curtain. We can just make
out the shadows of
Crystal, an alien visitor disquised as a human
female woman dressed in
60s-70s hippie style clothing with peace symbol
around her neck, Amber
another alien visitor disquised as a canine dog
with red scarf around
her neck. They make final preparations for the
show to begin. (NOTE:
Amber and Crystal are the characters of the animated
SCOOBY DOO AND THE
ALIEN INVADERS movie)
AMBER
Boss, how much time do we have left?
CRYSTAL
Not much. <Peeks through curtain> Uh-oh.
The audience is
already seated. <Looks around> Where's Donatello?
AMBER <Puzzled>
I dunno.
CRYSTAL <Speaks to the visitors>
Um. Hello everybody. We'll be with you in just
a minute - soon
as we find the guest of honor.
Just then Lara Croft the Tomb Raider looks up
as she hears a
buzzing-humming noise approaching, getting closer.
LARA CROFT
Look! There he is!
CRYSTAL <Shocked>
Donnie!!
AMBER
Aye-yi-yi! <Yelps in terror>
A tiny object flies around the stage, causing
Amber, Lara and
Crystal to yell, scream and duck their heads.
Suddenly it rips a hole
in the curtain and appears right in front of the
audience. It's
Donatello the MR. FIX-IT-TURTLE in his traditional
purple bandana
facemask, elbow-wrist-kneepads & bo staff
strapped across his shell,
riding his new invention, a HOVERPOD.
DONATELLO
Well, hello! As you can see, I used my shrinking
laser to not
only shrink my size, but also my personal HoverPod.
Now I get 22 miles
to the teaspoon. <The machine starts to swerve,
sway> Whoa, watch out,
those blades are sharp! <Fights to regain control
and succeeds> Well,
hi, how are you doing? <Zooms in close like
he's talking to you> Having
a good time dudes? Anyway, this machine combines
speed, altitude and
hover capabilities. Left and Right - all controlled
by this little
piece of machinery.
He tosses the control box into the air, but misses
the catch and
drops it.
DONATELLO
Oops, uh-oh...<Scared, nervous look>
The HoverPod starts spinning out of control, crashing
back
through the curtain, and off-stage as Donnie yells
in terror, trying to
maintain balance and try to stop the runaway machine.
Once more
Crystal, Lara & Amber scream in terror and
hit the floor to avoid being
hit or cut by the flying contraption.
DONATELLO <Starts shouting like George Jetson>
Help! Help! Jane stop this crazy thing...help
JAAAAAAAANE!
Then he dissapears from view. Lara, Amber &
Crystal get back to
their feet again and can't believe what just occured.
AMBER
Now what do we do boss?
CRYSTAL
Start the show.
AMBER
Go!
LARA CROFT
No, wait!
