Post by bunniefuu »

my money

hey you're supposed to give those to the

poor

remember when we did Robin Hood in the

living room remember it's still getting

fan mail well I wrote an indoor sweeping

epic for the stage picture it's Robin

Hood the gallant scoundrel and Maid

Marian the fair maiden and the Sheriff

of Nottingham the dastardly villain and

Friar Tuck the bald slob

Beck I remember our school doesn't do

plays I mean after the time they tried

to pull off the towering inferno soccer

that's just it we have to get past that

bad experience see we put on a great

show the next thing you know the school

board has a great beer program again

thanks to us Wow and I thought you were

just doing it to get the leading lady

role and then you can fall into the

leading man's arms by the way who is

this week's crush don't be shallow I'm

not even going to be in it

and besides I don't have a crush this

week well don't freak out it's only

Monday you know I was going to ask for

your help but if you're gonna be a

doorknob about it no no no I I really

want to do it I think it'd be nice to

reprise my role as Robin

Thanks this is gonna be great

Robin you have to love a story about a

guy in tights

this should be great okay but it has to

be great it's my first show that is I

get to be my stage manager in testing

how they work why they make such a funny

noises and smell if at any time anyone

is uncomfortable I just want you to

raise your hand

so did I write you and Becker do our

play huh yeah it's not gonna be a normal

play it's got to be huge it's got to be

spectacular why is that because I'm the

hero got to make me look good you know

I'm the leading man

and you're my stage manager okay I'm

glad everyone's still comfortable all I

need you to do is organize things about

people around sure okay so we just need

to teach it as a sponsor starts breaking

young he'll be in trouble someone who

can't say no now for tonight's homework

me young suni I'm uncomfortable with

homework yeah yeah yeah if Jack's

uncomfortable then I'm uncomfortable

okay no homework then

wait a minute if your stage manager anam

stage manager how are we gonna do this

simple we just divide things up you

manage the right side I'm Angela

maybe we should divide up the

responsibilities thank you no wait I

think I said I get to boss people around

fine um boss equipment for how you

handled the equipment and you can handle

the people and I handle the people yeah

Wow way to take charge Chris okay well

who's auditioning next for our leading

man that would be me

you you um Tucker I don't think you're

really cut out for this

exactly I mean that James you never

exactly struck me as being the leading

man type observe watch and learn

Jack I got this one in the bag oh and

speaking of bags you couldn't actually

out of one

and speaking of bags they're gonna cart

you out of here huh new york essential

now um I'm here to read for the role of

Jack love interest

I think it's obvious who should play

what don't you

the evil Sheriff of Nottingham fire tuck

if that supposed to be funny and me is

Maid Marian just because I wrote it she

thinks I should star in it running this

stupid plane on being in it and direct

evidence is Robin Hood that's good yeah

I know I think you would have been a

stretch but Jack doesn't she know

there's romance in you

yeah well I'm playing a round ball guy

with one line when's lunch know the line

is when doth the lunch bell peal this is

a bigger disaster than the towering

inferno so what are we gonna do I guess

I could talk to Missy Anne sooner you

met the casting I mean he's a pushover

remember no no no no Magan Sunni um hi

should I come back later

no oh no I mean no um Beckett would you

say that I am NOT aggressive enough too

soft to touch

can't say no no no vice-principal

Petrowski seems to think so

seems he's been monitoring my classes

and he says I am weak and can't say no I

thought I I've never seen that well I

think for now and it's gonna be

different

no marme is nice guy from now on I'm

going to say no

so you needed to see me about something

what you say no no okay everyone picking

it up from page 16 and friar Tuck's

entrance fair maid marian why do you

look so sad

Oh kind fire my life is in shambles all

my toil has been for naught

sweet Marian as sure as gravy Duff grace

my bib things will get better sounding

character dance the handsome guy always

gets the girl I mean not the chubby bald

guy he's funny

shouldn't he find love uh miss young

SUNY he's like the priest we can change

that we'll make him the cook the friar

oh those two are so sweet

together

hey what's the trouble over there I will

not tolerate any Tom Foolery Missi um

you see we were just rehearsing and um

cut this Robin Hood character stealing

money from one of the town's people

maybe I should just keep him here close

eye on

him

stealing he was stealing yeah that's

what he does the um Robin Hood steals

from the rich and gives to the no no I

don't think so school board's going to

have a fit let everyone just take a

break I'm going to do some

rewriting uh who

rewriting you wrote Robin Hood out of

the script well no not out

completely you just don't do

anything can't condone theft now can we

this is ridiculous I want out no and the

sheriff is good now instead of evil

children need need positive role models

and authority

figures but no and now Fri tuck is the

lead along with maid Maran this isn't my

Play at all nope

nuh-uh uh sorry I can't believe this

after my weeks of work this was supposed

to save the theater program not ruin it

for good 37

lines 38 lines well well at least we're

going in the right direction the right

direction yeah Tucker this is Robin Hood

okay Robin Hood is barely in it the

merry men are depressed half the time

and the sword fight is now a pillow

fight remember how things were going to

go like clockwork I think our clock

needs

work what is it you're looking a bit

pale

there did you see oh no page 26 um what

frier tuck and made Mar and Fallen

Loven hey Tucker want to try my gum yeah

sure here try

mine you must be thrilled about going

lip to lip for Tucker huh

thrilled no more like horrified yeah

like you've never thought about it Max I

don't even want to talk about this okay

the idea of kissing Tucker James is

gross gross I don't know I just figured

it sort of pro your mind at least once

in all the years you've known

her why would such an awful idea cross

my mind I mean just the thought of

kissing Becca is enough to make me lose

my pizza I don't even like it when she

drinks from my glass

glass I wish you people would stop

asking asking me about it I mean it's

acting a pretend kiss I mean now I know

why real actors get paid so much they

have to kiss people like Tucker it's

like kissing your sister it's like

kissing your brother your sister who

lives next door oh not your brother he's

cute it's not that I don't like Becca

it's just I don't like her I mean I grew

up with Tucker I've even seen him

naked well not naked naked I mean I love

her but I just I don't love her you know

um it's sort of this likey lovey friendy

thing I mean he was running around the

yard when we were little with this

training pants on his head it was more

like cute naked you know you

know I thought to get out of this

no you got to get me out of this

no short Forest is ours we'll be

back marman wait marman you're supposed

to exit stage

left mil why can't I get any your bab to

listen to

me oh I'm sorry Chris did you say

something anyway if Miss yans is going

to keep writing in these mushy scenes

right it's up to Mah to make sure things

don't go too sappy now this is for when

frier tuck and made Mar and kiss and see

fireworks if she wants

fireworks everything is under control

under control are you crazy every time I

ask Missy and Sunni for something she

says no our two romantic leads are

barely talking to each other and you are

so not

helping uh merryman aren't you supposed

to exit stage left oh

thanks uh-uh no and Tucker how are you

how you feeling still nauseous I don't

know what it is I stand over here and

I'm fine I walk over here next to Becca

and I feel like I'm going to

puke you know Tucker I heard what you

said about me my breath smells like warm

dog food where did that come from well

you know I didn't appreciate you telling

everyone about my training pants

problem okay and let's begin page

26 ma Maran you are more beautiful to me

than the Stars the moon the heavens

themselves good fry cook you are too

kind such sweetness pours from your lips

that I am

overwhelmed uh then we kiss and lean

forward yada yada yada was that not a

sign of my true

devotion a simple kiss will not erase

the past good frer though I admit I

rather liked

it that's it how am I supposed to be

professional when he's acting like a

baby um cut you know this wasn't my idea

I don't even know I am here I can't work

with her oh yeah and like working with

you is all fun in games fine then you

won't mind if I quit oh um there's no

need to I don't even want to do this

anymore no really you don't you don't

have

to I I'm sensing

conflict Christine um okay everyone

thanes

five take five

everyone well that's

it well on the bright side if they're

going to scream like that we won't have

to worry about miks you

know piles wake up our two lead actors

just quit ah they'll come

around don't you think the play is over

dead

finished

over

dead finished no

no I've gotten attached to it Christine

we we got to do

something you're

right rest it up due to the fact that

this whole thing is stupid we're going

back to Becca's original script where

Robin Hood steals from the rich and

gives to the poor

Tucker is Robin Hood Becca is made Maran

Max you are still the evil sheriff and

Jack you are frier tuck because I want

to see you round and bald in a burlap

sack all of you learn your L and be back

here tomorrow capiche um Christine no

I'm comfort

I'm comfortable with that I don't

understand but I've worked really hard

on this plate and it hurts me to find

out that you just you're just throwing

it away like

this so way you and Becca had a little

misunderstanding you can't just hide in

your room forever Becca this is your

play people are depending on you miles

and I worked really hard on this and and

for you just to quit it's not

[Music]

fair

[Music]

they're right you know I know so if we

want to make this play

work and we want this school to have a

theater program again we're going to

have to get past this so um I'm sorry I

told everyone I thought you were putrid

I'm sorry for a

what putrid no I I didn't hear that one

um I guess I'm not your idea of a

leading

man I mean who' you expect pizza boy did

you actually like him I mean what's his

name glitch

gorch

G

no

yeah I I I sort of liked him in this F

chance kind of way well I'm sorry I'm

not your idea of a leading lady I guess

I don't compare to all your wild

passionate flings huh who Darby uh

Carrie oh yeah we were hot and heavy

yeah I even touched car's bowling Jew

once but uh at least you you mashed lips

with Scott

uh I brushed my teeth like 40 times and

went through two bottles of mouthwash

that M does that make you feel any

better it does

actually it's just that I didn't really

want anybody to think

that you know yeah well um I'd be

embarrassed too if people thought that I

liked

me okay well it's just that the problem

is it's not completely out of the

question what um okay well in fourth

grade uh I I kind of had this crush on

you a tiny one invisible practically um

I remember when you used to wear those

velcro shoes that was during my break

dancing face you liked me then and and

you didn't tell me well well I I didn't

think you liked me back so well um I I

didn't it wasn't until the next

Christmas that I

uh that I that I liked

you you liked me

too yeah um do you remember that little

glass reindeer thing that I got you the

three-legged one I thought you were

going to hate it well I did hate it but

but that's only because I didn't like

you then um I liked you the next summer

when you when you had that bathing suit

that practically hung around your head
