| Meanwhile, back in Middleton |
| (The camera switches to a far view of Middleton. Almost all of the coloring is in gray. Most of the plants and trees appear to be dead. We can hear Ron's first line and then the scene switches to a view of Ron and SSS. Ron is in a cage made of some animal's ribcage, singing. SSS is laying out on a rock picking his teeth with a bone.) Ron: Nobody knows The trouble I've seen Nobody knows My sorrow... SSS: Oh Ron, do lighten up. (He tosses the bone at Ron and it clatters against the cage) Sing something with a littl bounce in it. Ron: (Thinks a moment) It's a small world after all- SSS: (Interrupting, almost shouting) No! No. Anything but that! Ron: (Thinks, then holds up a feather as a tune comes to him.) I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts diddely-dee-dee) There they are a-standing in a row... (SSS is enjoying this and starts to join in) Ron and SSS: Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head... Ron: (While SSS continues) Oh... I would never have had to do this for Mufasa. SSS: (Quick and angry) What? What did you say? Ron: Oh, nothing! SSS: You know the law: Never, ever mention THAT name in my presence. I am the KING! (SSS shoves his face between the ribs of Ron's cage on the last line.) Ron: Yes, sire. You ARE the king. I-I-Well, I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches. (Nervous laugh) Jackie: (Offstage) Hey Boss! SSS: Oh, what is it this time? Jackie: We got a bone to pick with you. Adrenna Lynn: (To Jackie) I'll handle this. (To SSS) Sr., there's no food, no water... Jackie: Yeah, it's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees. SSS: (Exasperated) It's the Middletonians' job to do the hunting-(makes helpless gesture) Jackie: Yeah, but they won't go hunt. SSS: Oh, eat Ron. Ron: Oh, you wouldn't want me! I'd be so tough and gamey and eeww. SSS: Oh, Ron, don't be ridiculous. All you need is a little garnish. Jackie: (To Adrenna Lynn) I thought things were bad under Kim Possible. SSS: (Quick and angry again) What did you say? Jackie: I said Kim... (Adrenna Lynn is smiling at SSS and thwaps Jackie to remind him.) Jackie: I said, uh... "Qu� pasa?" SSS: Good. Now get out. (The other criminals start out but then pause) Jackie: Mm... yeah, but - we're still hungry. SSS: Out! (They run off.) |
