Script 3 from Turkey

III-1

Setting: Catacombs. 

The Hermit: (in a silhouette) All right cuties.Your first task is to search for a mask and that will lead you to the second and third task.

The one I’d like is with a sign of rainbow

Whoever sees it comes close and bow.

Cleopatra:  (despisingly) I can find it, of course!

thats so simple like i play with toys.

(on the screen it writes “BUT it wasn‘T”)

(Emily quickly takes out her laptop, googles for it disappointedly and gives it to Cle,o so that she could try to find for a mask and the screen of the laptop is displayed at the background projection, they search for it in panic)

Cleopatra: (disappointed and worried) the mask you wanted to get in a way
is not easy to find even on the eBay,

The Hermit: I do really mind 

If you cannot find

Don’t you think you know anybody

that could make a mask in the country?

(Cleo and Emily silent and thoughtful for while)

Emily: (excitedly to Cleo) Eureka!

Do you remember Coco Pedro the stylist 

who has had a “mask design list”? 

Cleopatra: Yes, you are right, honey!

We can get it from him paying some money.

(Cleo giving out a bunch of money and credit card to Em)

Go and get that thing which is so hard

And also, If needed, use that credit card

(Em leaves the stage; light fades out in the catacombs)

(A big clock ticking away for a while on the screen background till Emily is back with the mask and the light is on)

III-2

 (The same previous setting)

The hermit: (putting on and adjusting the mask on his face)All right this is suitable although not so comfortable.

(showing the screen billboards with the other tasks)

So since I have the mask

Here is your second and third task;

Second ‘’ Find the coordinator squirrel! ‘’
Third    ‘’Talk to him and make a deal! ‘’

Cleo and Em: (in chorus in wonder) What are those for??

You have to explain us before.

The hermit: The squirrel you find will gather all his mates
To bring all the walnuts to the castle gates.

So that the skaters will slip and fall down
while they attack the king’s crown.

                   

Cleo: (astonished) How clever you are!

Emily: (looking at Cleo)All sound reasonable so far.

Cleo: (cheerfully) Now, We know how.  

Emily: (excitedly)  Wow, Let’s get going now.

Cleo and Em: CİAO !

(they leave the stage) 

III-3

(Slyly, the hermit reveals and speaks to himself as the lighting fades out slowly with his ambitious laugh)

The hermit: Now it’s pay back time my half-brother the king.

Only I know, the walnut is the only thing 

you cannot bear.

And the best is; nobody is aware 

From childhood I remember you had such an allergy
that could make you lose all your energy. 

Smelling them will be enough to kill the king. (greedily with a raising voice)
Do not even mention tasting or eating. hahaha..(echoes loudly in darkness)

III-4

Setting is the country 

(Cleo and Em out walking, passing trees on the screen)

Cleo: I got so bored with that gloomy and poetic atmosphere in there Em.

Em: Me, too. But we’ve found out many things to help us.

Cleo: (speaks fast) Right! Thanks to the hermit, yes..First we need to find the coordinator squirrel though and then.. oh but I know nothing about the squirrels. Do you have any suggestions where they could be..

Em: Wait wait wait, we can do nothing before we have some things to eat, Cleo, I’m starving, aren’t you?

Cleo: Yes, I am. Let’s have some snacks.

Em: (upset) We can’t ! We are broke since we paid all our money to Coco Pedro for the mask.

(After a few seconds in despair)

Em: I’ve got an idea. My father is responsible for two kitchens; the first one is the beloved King’s and the second is Burger King’s, it’s just over that corner of the trees.

Cleo: (happily) Perfect, let’s pay a visit to him then.

III-5

(After a short walk, they see the signboard of the burger king projected on the screen and a table, a few chairs set in front before the light comes on that half)

(The father carries a plate of pie just taken out of the oven)

Cleo: I thought I smelt something wonderful! I did, I did.

Em: I did, either

(Both amazed and attracted)

The father: Yes you are right dear little ladies; it’s the smell of walnut pie I’ve just made.

Cleo: Why don’t you bake this sort of pie in our castle too? 

The father: Oh my dear princess, don’t you know his majesty the king is allergic to walnuts. 

Cleo and Em: (in chorus, shocked and confused, looking at each other)Allergic!
