Part Six - Obligatory Fourth Wall Breakage
youtu.be/tdufVsPXtCE(ZORTEGUS gone, the rest of the guests begin trekking up the staircase. TRIP and TERRY stay behind, TERRY attempting to forcibly push them up the stairs.)
BANDIT (to TRIP):
Who are you?
TRIP:
I'm very lucky, along with both of you, to be invited up to Lord Zortegus's laboratory.
BANDIT:
Oh yeah, and why is that?
TELERAM:
Thank you for your kindness and the honor. Bandit here may not show it, but he's grateful too.
(BANDIT glares)
TRIP:
Oh, but your clothes are so wet. You really should take them off.
(She reaches for BANDIT's wet trousers and he slaps her hand away)
BANDIT:
Take my clothes off right now, in front of everyone? No thank you!
TRIP (laughing):
Ooh, we got a fiesty one here! Okay, suit yourself!
SOPHIE (from the top of the stairs):
Hurry up down there!
TERRY:
Yes, come along.
(TELERAM and BANDIT reluctantly make their way up the stairs, TRIP and TERRY following close behind and blocking their escape.)
ZORTEGUS:
Oh yes, there you are again. Glad you could join us.
BANDIT:
We didn't have any choice!
SOPHIE:
Everything is ready, Lord Zortegus. All you have to do is give the word.
ZORTEGUS:
Yes thank you Sophie. Everyone! Tonight you will witness history in the making! Tonight, for the first time, I shall create life, and all of you are lucky enough to be present. And to think, after all my hard work, the breakthrough was something that just came to me, a freak accident. I shall name him Comet, after the comet that helped birth him. SOPHIE!
SOPHIE:
Yes m'lord!
ZORTEGUS:
It's time! Throw the switch! Terry, turn up the dial...
(There is an explosion that knocks everyone backwards. And, rising up out of the wreckage...)
ZORTEGUS:
Oh, Comet!
(COMET stands up on shaky feet.)
COMET:
I'm five seconds old and already I can sing
That's kind of strange, but tonight not even the strangest thing
Why would they rest
A Penthouse in the forest
And, here's the best
Why don't those two know about 667?
You can't think too hard about it or it will just make no sense
CHORUS:
Just roll with it
COMET:
Suspend disbelief for a bit while you sit on the fence
CHORUS:
Just roll with it
COMET:
I wonder why
The author made Janet a guy
That just won't fly
Except for the amusement of 667
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
Just roll with it
COMET:
I'm two minutes old and already I can sing
CHORUS:
Just roll with it
COMET:
That's kind of strange, but tonight not even the strangest thing
CHORUS:
Just roll with it
COMET:
Lemona is
Not a criminologist
So, tell me this
Why is she in this story about 667?
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
Just roll with it
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
COMET:
Oh wo wo wo
CHORUS:
Sha la la la
Just roll with it
Just roll with it
