Tony: You didn't say anything about me writing a play for you.

Tony opens the door to his room.
It is completely furnished.
There are two twin beds, one with SpongeBob sheets and pillowcase, a cot, and a hammock, which is hanging in the closet. There is a 32-inch, flat-screen TV, with DVD player. A large stereo is nearby. Three large beanbag chairs...
Tony, the Newsman and Crazy Harry approach their door, where they are met by Kathy, Prairie and Rosita.
Tony: Hey guys! My name is Tony. This is the Muppet Newsman, and Crazy Harry.
Newsman: Pleased to meet you girls.
Crazy Harry (giggling) Likewise, I'm sure!
Tony enters his room.
Tony: Hey, did that little green freak get back yet?
Newsman: No.
Tony: Ah, who cares. You guys wanna go to a par-tay?
Newsman: What, now?
Tony: Yes, now. The room right above us. Don't you hear that music?
Newsman: How could I not?
Tony: Come on...
Tony: Alright, I shall return!
(Tony leaves Alex's room; he's lost)
Um...oh yeah, the elevator's this way!
(Beat; Tony returns, in opposite direction)
Like I said, it's this way!
Tony is now doing the Robot.
Well Bean...Alex whisked me out of my room before I even knew what was going on, heh heh! I didn't even have a chance to ask them, but they're so wrapped up in their work, I doubt they've noticed I'm gone! But I'll go down and ask 'em, if you want me to, little...
Tony immediately starts doing the twist, while introducing himself.
Tony: Um, hi...I'm Tommy...I mean...Tony...nice to meet you, Sweetums. And Bean, I...Bean, where are you, little dude? Oh! There you are! Hi there, nice to meet you!
Tony: Oh...yeah...that fellow sitting on the windowsill there is the Muppet Newsman. You probably see him on TV. Last week he was attacked by a runaway buzzsaw on the air.
Newsman: No, that is not true! It was two runaway buzzsaws, thank you very much!
Tony: And this guy over here is...
Tony hears a knock on the door. Company already? He looks at his two roomies, who are still off in their own little worlds.
Tony opens the door.
The beautiful Alex stands there.
Tony: Alex ? ! Wow! Wonderful to see you!
Tony embraces Alex, and kisses her on the cheek.
Tony: Come...
Tony: I hear "Mahna Mahna" playing in the elevator...I think it just stopped on this floor, actually. Should I be scared?
The Newsman and Harry don't hear--or ignore--Tony. They continue with their work, the Newsman typing, Harry banging his sticks of dynamite together.
Tony paces around...
Tony (looks at watch) I think it's too late to go furniture shopping.
Newsman: Really? I've lost all track of time. This story I'm writing is quite fascinating.
Tony: What is it?
Newsman: Apparently a local farmer's cows are producing ping-pong balls instead of milk.
Tony: Hey...
Tony is sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, asleep. The Newsman is sitting on the window sill, his typewriter balanced on his knees, writing a story. Crazy Harry sits in the corner, holding two sticks of dynamite, giggling uncontrollably.
Tony stirs and wakes up. He looks...
Tony wanders through the hallways, hearing various Muppety sounds coming from the mostly-closed doors. He wears a rumpled brown tweed suit, white shirt, and a tie, which is hanging loosely around his neck. In one hand, he carries a battered typewriter. In the other, the key to room #9, and a...
Cha-cha-cha!
Well...unfortunately, the tux store is out of tuxes. Apparently there was a major rush on 'em between yesterday and today, as a stage production of March of the Penguins is opening this weekend, and the cast ransacked the store.
I guess I'll pick up one of those t-shirts that...
