Act+IV+script

HI GUUUUYS I'll post our script here for now.


 * __Act 4 - Scene 1__**

[Enter Bernard and Helmholtz. John is offstage, retching.]


 * Helmholtz:** John!

[After more retching, John staggers onstage.]


 * John:** I ate some bad Civilization.

[He pulls out a box of cereal, marked "Civilization"].


 * Bernard:** What?


 * John:** And I washed it down with Wickedness.


 * Bernard:** Are you gonna make it?


 * Helmholtz:** Need a bucket?


 * John:** No, I'm fine. I drank some mustard.


 * Helmholtz/Bernard:** What?


 * John:** And some water.

.
 * Bernard:** Okay, well, we're leaving tomorrow...I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about everything.
 * John:** I talked to the Controller this morning. To see if I could go with you. But he wouldn't let me. I'm leaving tomorrow, too.


 * Helmholtz:** To where?


 * John:** Anywhere, as long as I can be alone.

Allright, thanks a lot. Does anyone have any suggestions for the next scene? -Sean

At the Lighthouse, praying? Thats whats next in the book. Dan

Yeah that sounds good dan. We should use the book as a guideline. I need to say though that I won't really be able to work on the script for most of tomorrow, so if you guys don't feel like writing anything now, I could definitely put in some work. Nick

I can work on it with you now. There is very little script for this part. Is seems like we should just have john act for a little alone. Then the land-workers come in and see him and tell the others. Dan

John: Forgive me Pookong! Forgive me Awonawilona! I do not deserve this lighthouse! (Then he yells something to the sky in the Zuni language that the audience cannot understand.) (Then John gets up and stretches out his body as if he were on the crucifix.) Ooohhh Jesus!!! (The Phil Collins music starts to play and John begins to sing "I can feel atonement in the air tonight". As he is singing he sees the whip on the ground and then realizes he has to whip himself to be pure again.) (Then land workers near the lighthouse catch sight of what he's doing and are in amazement.)
 * Scene 2** opens with John on his knees.

Reporter: I am a representative of //The Hourly Radio.// I'm sure that you've heard of it. John: What do you want? Reporter: Well Mr. Savage, our readers would love to know more about you. What do you think of Civilization, of.. of our women Mr. Savage. Oh, but most of all, do tell us about your whip. We are so intrigued by it. John: (feeling overwhelmed, angry) Hani! Sons eso tse-na! (Then he kicks the reporter, and when the reporter has fallen to the ground, the Toy Story music comes on and John sings "You don't have a friend in me") (As John is singing, other reporters come in and take pictures of him) (After he is done, the scene is finished)
 * Scene 3** - opens with John working in his garden
 * Reporter:** Excuse me Mr. Savage, could I have a moment of your time please?
 * John:** Who are you?

- this song is a solo by John so it would be awkward if the reporter was just sitting there.Nick

Does anyone have a song for that section? -Sean

Andrew's song is about atonement. I think that could work. It talks about the whip too so we could mix in John whipping himself to this scene don't you think? Nick

Yah, that would make it more of a scene.

That sounds like a good idea. Dan

Allright. What next? -Sean

Should we start a new scene with the reporters or should we continue this scene with the reporters? Nick

The reporters don't come for a few days but he does nothing during that period. We could have the land-workers see him whipping himself and then have the reporters come. Dan

Yah, I like that. Should we have anything about his garden? Sean

He could be working on it as they walk on stage. Dan

Ok sure, so he's working on the garden and the reporters come. This is all a new scene? Nick

It is a few days after the whipping so we could make it a new scene. Dan

What do you guys think? Nick

It seems good. I guess next is the orgy. Dan

Ok I'm pretty sleepy right now though. I might not be able to work on it until 6 or 7 tomorrow. I'll be out all day. We need to have it in one word document though and have to send it to Martinez in an email. Nick

Allright, lets just call it a night. Good work today guys. Sean

Anybody on yet? Sean

Katie is here! @11:52 on sunday my song is for the orgy -katie a big group of people need to enter and start calling john names and stuff then he can get really upset as they start hasseling him and my song from the rocky horror picture show comes on and make sure leina is in the group of people cause she has a solo that she sings in the song and then after my song he can storm off stage and thats when he can have a few lines to himself and then hang himself. -katie

Allright, that sounds great. Any specifics on what they should say? Sean, 11:56

we have to make sure john calls lenina a strumpet and a whore. - katie 12:41

Yes, I agree, but what should the people say to John? -Sean, 1:27

Alright everyone, here is the last two scenes from our script. Please read, edit and criticize. If no one else has anything to say, then I will post it here and email it to ms Martinez at 7 PM. -Sean, 3:04 PM


 * Scene 4 – **John Standing on the “balcony” of his lighthouse, while a group of workers and Lenina stand below him


 * John- **That damned reporter. Now these fools flock to me like I am some kind of Idol. I am no more man then I am an animal at bay, Go away!

[**Crowd** bursts into “//Orgy Porgy//”]


 * [Lenina **Walks up to **John.** They stare at each other for a while, and then she holds out her arms towards him. **John** realizes who she is, and begins whipping her]


 * John – **Strumpet! Fry you Letcher, Fry!


 * [Crowd **Laughs, and begins chanting “Whip it”. Then retreats]

[**John** Also begins laughing, then while the **crowd** retreats, John stops, and his eyes begin opening in horror]


 * John- **Oh god… Oh… my god.

[**John** runs off stage]


 * Scene 5- **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Crowd from yesterday, minus Lenina comes back to Lighthouse


 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Crowd member- **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Oh Savage, we have returned for more!

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[**Crowd** waits a few seconds]


 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Another Crowd member- **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mr. Savage?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[Again, **Crowd** waits. Still no response. A **Crowd member** goes off stage the same way john did, while the **Crowd** question each other, and look puzzled.]

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[**Crowd member** returns.]


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Crowd Member- **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Savage is dead.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[**Crowd** looks dismayed]

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[All characters minus John and Linda come onto stage, and all sing //“Stairway to Heaven”// song parody]


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Exeunt **

Sean I like it a lot. Good work. This seems like Beauty and the Beast to me a little, with the mob and everything. Nick

Also, when you say "Crowd bursts into "Orgy Porgy" in scene 4, you're talking about Katie's song right? Nick

Thanks a lot Nick, and yah. Should I make that clearer? Sean

Hey again everyone. Its 6:30 right now. I just want to give everyone one last chance to look at the script, but at 7 o'clock I will post the finished version and E-mail ms Martinez. Sean
