Attic

*cell phone* You think you can be here soon.

A dark shadowy person steps into the light reviling a purlpish color with cape, monocle and two small pointed teeth, "Did you call?"

Yes! Could you do your famous song about bats for me?

Count: Of course. Music maestro!

*music starts*

Count: In old Transylvania, vhen I was a lad
Our castle was poor, but ve never were sad
Ve learned to be happy!
Ve’d dance ‘round the hall
And learning to count vas the key to it all
By counting each count, I knew just vhere to start
And one special step has stayed close to my heart


[He begins to waltz about the room.] Ha ha ha ha.....

One, two, three, spread out the cape
One, two, three, twirl ‘round the floor
One, two, three, left foot you swing
One, two, three, then start to sing
One, two, three, loud as you please!
One, two, three, counting with ease!
One, two, three, doing the batty bat!


Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!
Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat?


[speaking]

Ah, my happy childhood in the Carpathian mountains! How well I remember!

[singing]

So now, in my own castle, I can enjoy
This wonderful dance that I learned as a boy
I see just how wise was my whole family
They taught me to count, and so now look at me!
I’m counting and dancing, and I swear that it’s true ...
If you do the same, you will be happy, too!


[speaking]

Come! We try again!

[He resumes waltzing and singing]

One, two, three, spread out the cape
One, two, three, twirl ‘round the floor
One, two, three, left foot you swing
One, two, three, then start to sing
One, two, three, loud as you please!
One, two, three, counting with ease!
One, two, three, doing the batty bat!


Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Count: One, two, three, count!
Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat?


[He says some lines I don’t recall as the music and the bats continue.]

[singing]

Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat?
Batty bat!
Ha ha!


[The usual thunder and lightning follow as he laughs.]

Vinnie: You sure boss?
*Intercom: Yep... Though I'm rully sorry to have to do this to one of my friends, but rules have to be enforced.
Vinnie: OK then. *To Kyle: Better luck next time.

*Intercom: Current tallies.
Alex: 6 bats.
Beth: 2 bats.
Dan: 1 bat.
Kyle DQ.
*To remaining housemates: Five bats have just been re-released, it's up to you to catch them and see who wins this challenge.
