Moderator Science Theater 3000
Scene: A mid-size den-like room in a large victorian house. The walls are an ugly peach color. There is a love seat with two easy chairs on each side. Two end tables are between the love seat and each chair. They are facing a large screen that covers a good portion of the wall. A double-set of glass doors with purple curtains are on the left (facing the screen-wall.) On the other side is a window niche with a plush sitting ledge. Across from the screen-wall is a computer LCD flat screen, but no other part of the computer can be seen.
Neal is hooking a wire to the window. The wire is ran along the length of the room.
Neal: Okay, I'm ready on this end.
Sarah (O.S.): All right, is the high-impact surface-disrupting device ready?
Jake (O.S.): The what?
Sam (O.S.): The large metal pipe that's suppose to be a battering ram.
Jake (O.S.): Oh, yeah. Ready.
Neal runs to the other side. Soon, a large metal pipe zooms along the wire and strikes the window. It bounces harmlessly off the window.
Sarah (O.S.): Rats, it didn't work.
Jake (O.S.): Try again.
Sam and Jake run and drag the battering ram back across the room. They launch the ram again but it bounces harmlessly off again. The group come into frame.
Sam: Man, that is one powerful window.
Neal: What do you think it's made of?
SF (V.O.): It's made of a substance you all are familiar of. Digichromazoid.
Sarah: Damn it. What do you want now, Coco?
The SF appears on the screen.
SF: When are you going to call me by my name?
Sarah: When you release us.
SF: Damn.
Sam: You've got the next episode of PR ACM ready?
SF: Sure do. Oh, and I have a surprise for you.
The T.H.X. 1138 audio effect is played loud. They all covered their ears.
SF: That's the signal that the story is going to start. Like the movie sign.
Neal: Movie sign?
SF: Never mind. Anywho, enjoy.
They all take their seats. The same places as last episode. ==================================================================================================
Sam: Okay, let's see. We have the Red-Ranger-leader-who's-perfect-in-mind,-body,-and-soul.
Neal: Right.
Sam: We have the omnipotent advisor and the annoying robot.
Sarah: Double check.
Sam: And we have the seemingly-omnipotent-but-coming-across-as-inane-villain, monsters that look like Invadors, and hundreds of disposable red-
shirt-like foot soldiers.
Jake: Yup, yup, and yup.
Sam: Right. Are we missing anything?
> "The A.C.M. Zords"
Sam: Oh yeah, the fripping big robot, how could I forget?
> Episode 2,
All: Electric Boogaloo!
> Season 1
> It was another school day in Hong Kong. Ryan Li had finished his first two classes for the day at > Mandarin High and was ready for lunch.
Sam: I'm always ready for lunch.
> Someone came up behind him and tipped his shoulder.
Jake: Three-fifty. Not bad.
> He turns to see Sabrina Wong with a smile on her face.
Sarah (Sabrina): Have a nice tip?
Sam (Ryan): Yeah, don't put money on my shoulder.
> "Hi Ryan. Wanna? have lunch?" she asked.
> Ryan nearly blushed. (Neal does a Goofy laugh.)
> "You bet!"
> They turned sharply toward the cafeteria
(Sarah makes tire screaching sounds)
> and bumped into someone.
> They turned sharply toward the cafeteria and bumped into someone.
Sam: Yeah, we already read that.
Phanto (v.o.): Sorry about that, double paste.
All: ...
Neal: Man, the fourth wall really is being hit today.
> "Oh! Sorry about that." Ryan asked.
> "Are you okay?" Sabrina asked.
> But they saw whom they had bumped into. It was Ray Woo,
Jake (Arsenio Hall cheer): Woo-woo-woo-woo.
> principal of Mandarin High. The man was > wearing a dark suit and had a forbidding expression on his face. > "You children should learn some manners." he snapped with arrogance.
Sam: Okay, but who is arrogance?
Neal: Probably the vice-principal.
> Ryan was stunned. What was his problem?
Sarah: Too many to mention.
> "Principal Woo, we said we were sorry."
> "Are talking back?" he sneered.
Sarah: No, talking's still in Japan.
Neal: Man, this guy needs some Viagra.
(Others look at him funny)
Neal: I mean Propecia.
(Others still look at him funny)
Neal: Ritalin? Paxil? Wellbutrin?
Sam: Neal, quit while you're ahead.
Neal: Aw hell, he needs a chill pill.
> "Of course not," a voice said sarcastically, "who would ever what to talk back to you Principal?"
All: Me!
> They turn to see Miss Lindsay Chu,
Jake: Ghesuntight.
> Ryan and Sabrina's home form teacher, with a stern look on her face.
> "Is there a problem Principal Woo,
Sarah: Like I said, too many to mention.
> because it would surprise me if Ryan and Sabrina were causing you any trouble. Especially since > their good kids."
Sam: Whoa! They already have children?
Neal: Let's just say when puberty hits, it hits.
> Miss Chu said, defending Ryan and Sabrina.
> Ryan and Sabrina were surprised that Miss Chu is defending them, but were certainly grateful.
> Principal Woo grunted
(Jake makes monkey sounds.)
> and left.
> Miss Chu?s face softened at Ryan and Sabrina. "Are you two okay?"
> Ryan and Sabrina nodded. "What was wrong with him?" Sabrina asked.
Sarah: See my earlier comment.
> "He sure has an attitude problem." Ryan exclaimed.
> Miss Chu gave a reassuring smile. "You're before off away from Woo. No one here likes him much. > Mostly because he doesn?t like anyone much either."
Neal: So how did he become principal in the first place?
Sam: The Mummy, Wolfman, and Lamar Bone were all too busy for the job.
> "Thanks a lot Miss Chu." he said to the beautiful teacher with a smile.
> "We owe you one." Sabrina nodded, also smiling.
> Miss Chu smiled and winked. "Don?t sweat it!"
> Ryan watched Principal Woo walk away. With a principal like that, this was probably going to be a > long school year.
Jake: Don't say that, it'll just come true.
> When school ended, Ryan didn?t head home. He had told his parents that he had something to take > care of after school. He was at the Power Chamber with his newfound friends, Venusiline and Alpha > 7 who had teleported him there for a surprise.
Sarah: An enema!
Sam: Sarah, that was gross, rude, and completely idiotic! Damn, you're good.
Sarah: ^_^ Thank you.
> "Here Ryan," Alpha said, "this is for you."
> Alpha handed Ryan a device that looked like a watch. It was silver and metallic red and fitted > perfectly around his wrist.
> "Thanks Alpha," Ryan said with a smile, "I was planning to get a new watch."
> Venusiline laughed. "Dear Ryan, this device is more than a mere watch."
Neal (Venusiline): It's a magic watch.
> Alpha nodded. "This is the A.C.M. Communicator/Teleporter. It is disguised as a watch to avoid > suspicion. It?s my creation"
Jake (Ryan): So where did you think of that idea?
Sarah (Alpha): I saw them do it on a television show. Zeo something or other.
> "Cool," Ryan explained, "how does it work?"
> "It is a voiced-activated device that will allow you to communicate with the Power Chamber when > necessary." Alpha explained, "Just speak the name of Venusiline or myself to contact us. The > device can also teleport you here or anywhere when you are needed. Just tell it to do so and it > will be done. We will also be able to contact you from the Power Chamber as well."
Sam: Sheesh, is there anything he hasn't copied out of the original Power Rangers?
> "Alpha had made eight more for your soon-to-be teammates," Venusiline continued, "you shall be > able to contact them in the future. After we find them of course."
> Ryan then noticed the eight wrist devices that looked like his own sitting on the main computer > console. They were the exact same design, but in a different colour along with the silver. The > eight devices were coloured in metallic purple, grey, yellow, green, orange, black, pink and > blue.
Jake: Oh God... God, no! Anything but that!
Sarah: What, what is it?
Neal: What's going on?
Jake: Those colors could mean only one thing.
Sam: What's that?
Jake: This is a crossover... with Care Bears.
All: ... (All scream in terror for about five minutes, then settle down.)
> Ryan wondered and asked, "Are those the colours of the remaining eight Rangers?"
> Venusiline nodded. "The respective colours of the nine Power-Destined have always been the same > throughout centuries.
Neal: Even though most Power Ranger series have only five or six.
> So have been the respective elements for each colour."
> "Like my element is Fire for the colour Red?" Ryan asked.
> "That's right," Alpha continued, "and the eight elements for the remaining colours are; the Stars > for Purple,
Jake: Share Bear.
> Wind for Grey,
Jake: Grandma Bear.
> Thunder for Yellow,
Jake: Sunshine Bear.
> Water for Green,
Jake: Good Luck Bear
> Light for Orange,
Jake: Secret Bear.
> Rock for Black,
Jake: I'm not sure about that one.
> the Rose for Pink
Jake: Cheer Bear.
> and Ice for Blue."
Jake: Grumpy Bear
> Ryan was astounded. But still, he worried if he could fight on his own until his future teammates > are found.
> "I wonder what they'll be like." he said aloud.
Sam (cynically): They'll probably be strong, fast, smart, beautiful/handsome, and great fighters.
> Venusiline smiled. "Only time shall tell us young Ryan. Be patient."
Neal: Can we take a break? I need to go to the bathroom.
Jake: Sure. Pause.
