(a LAB. DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN and IGOR are gathered around a table with something heavy on it, covered in a cloth.) FRANKENSTEIN: Finally, the
experiment is complete! Igor, start the procedure! IGOR: Yes, Master! (pause) Actually... FRANKENSTEIN: Yes, what? IGOR: Could you maybe explain what we're doing first, Master Frankenstein? You know, for the benefit of myself and (pointed looks at audience) anyone who happens to be watching. FRANKENSTEIN: … Are you thick? IGOR: Maaaybe. FRANKENSTEIN: Well! (dramatically) I have discovered a new kind of space ray, beyond the gamma ray, which is the source of all life! Using the power of lightning, I can harness this energy and supply a body with the electrolytes it needs to COME TO LIFE! IGOR: Yes, that makes perfect sense. FRANKENSTEIN: Indeed. Start the procedure! (he does Igor stuff while lightning flashes and dramatic music plays.) FRANKENSTEIN: AHA! AHAHAHAHA! (music stops) Just checking, it's working, right? IGOR: Yes, Master! FRANKENSTEIN: Oh, that is totally tits. All right... (music) IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!! (dramatic chord, the cloth rises. Up rises FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, aka someone wearing parts of a dinosaur outfit (tail, claws, whatever else).) MONSTER: (happily) HELLO!!! FRANKENSTEIN: Er, hello... MONSTER: ROOOOAR! (the MONSTER gets off the table and mills about, looking really pleased with itself. FRANKENSTEIN circles around it, and then points at the tail.) FRANKENSTEIN: Igor? IGOR: Yes, Master? MONSTER: (to IGOR) HELLO!!! FRANKENSTEIN: Do you remember... when I said “find some human parts to make the body with”, and asked you if you understood, you said...? IGOR: I said “Yes, Master”. FRANKENSTEIN: (points at the MONSTER) Seriously, Igor, what the hell? MONSTER: I LIKE YOU! ARE YOU MY MUMMY? IGOR: (as the MONSTER starts investigating and prodding him) Well... you see Master, the bodies had been in the ground for so long that they'd sort of... decayed. FRANKENSTEIN: Really earning that biology major there, Igor. Good job. IGOR: Their bodies decayed, so their DNA decayed as well. So I decided to fill in the missing parts of the genetic code with dinosaur DNA. From mosquitoes! MONSTER: I'M A DINOSAUR! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!! FRANKENSTEIN: Well, we cocked this one up. Good work, Igor. IGOR: Sorry, Master. MONSTER: OH, WOW! MY FINGERS MOVE! FRANKENSTEIN: (stares at MONSTER, then IGOR) Igor... IGOR: Still here, Master. FRANKENSTEIN: What kind of brain did you put in that monster? (IGOR contrives to look innocent. The MONSTER tries to smell, touch, taste etc. FRANKENSTEIN.) FRANKENSTEIN: Igor... you got a dinosaur brain, didn't you? IGOR: Maaaaaaybe. FRANKENSTEIN: What is WITH you and dinosaurs? Always with the dinosaurs! IGOR: I can't help it, they're dino-riffic! MONSTER: YOU TASTE LIKE MARMALADE! (slow lick, FRANKENSTEIN weirded out) MONSTER: (deep sniff) AND
SMELL LIKE FOOD! (The MONSTER advances on FRANKENSTEIN and IGOR, who look nervous and back away. Suddenly the MONSTER chases them off stage.) MONSTER: ROOOOOOOOAAAAR!!! |
