"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"
Fade into Alistair Cookie's library, where he has his pipe in one hand, a wine glass of milk in another, and old-fashioned glasses on his face.
COOKIE MONSTER: Ah, good eve-a-ning, welcome again to Monsterpiece Theater, once again, me your host Alistair Cookie... tonight me very pleased to bring to you for your entertainment pleasure, the very wet classic tale 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea... make sure you have towel. And now, sit back and enjoy 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea...
Fade onto a dock where The Count and The Countess are boarding a submarine.
COUNT: Ah Countess, I haf counted the days, I haf counted the hours, I haf counted the minutes, I haf ewen counted the seconds until our nice little under-water trip.
COUNTESS: Ah yes mine schnitzel, I too haf counted the days, I too haf counted the hours, I too haf counted the minutes, I too haf counted the seconds until our nice little under-water trip.
COUNT: Shall we?
COUNTESS: We shall.
With that, Count and Countess enter the submarine and it because to dive into the water, a few moments later, Count and Countess were enjoying the beautiful sight of exotic fishes, coral reefs, and even an Italian sea-turtle, but then something caught them off guard: a group of basketball-playing fish.
COUNTESS: Ah, mine schnitzel, do you see vot I see?
COUNT: Yes my darling, that can only be one thing...
BOTH: One! One league under the sea...
They continued scooting along the ocean floor when they were met with a group of electric eels doing long jumps.'
BOTH: Two! Two leagues under the sea...
They continued scooting along and then found a group of crabs playing soccer.
BOTH: Three! Three leagues under the sea...
Seven hours later they found a large group of octopi practicing for a game of hockey.
BOTH: 7,652! 7,652 leagues under the sea... 7,653 leagues under the sea... 7,654... 5... 6... 7... 8! 7,658 leagues under the sea...
By this time Count and Countess spent hour of an entire day exploring the under-water world when finally they saw an amazing sight: a group of whales and a group of sharks in the middle of a game of dodgeball.
BOTH: 20,000! 20,000 leagues under the sea... AH-AH-AH!!!
Thunder started crackling and the started fish and other sea creatures shot off in all directions.
COUNT: And this has been one... one vonderful under-water trip, ah-ah-ah!
More thunder booms.
COUNTESS: And you are one... one vonderful Count...
COUNT: And you are one... one vonderful Countess...
BOTH: AH-AH-AH!!!
The thunder cracks even louder this time, fade back into Alistair Cookie's living room where he fell asleep from having listening to twelve hours of counting; just then a shark and a whale splash in.
SHARK: Dude, we never did get to finish that dodgeball game!
WHALE: What say we find some more familiar waters to play in.
SHARK: Good idea!
COOKIE MONSTER: (Snores loudly)
WHALE: AAAHH! Was that you?!
SHARK: Naw dude, I thought it was you!
They looked at the sleeping Alistair Cookie.
WHALE: What's that thing?
SHARK: Looks like my mother-in-law... I'm outta here! (Swims away).
WHALE: Me too!
The whale makes a big splash on his exit, which douses Alistair Cookie, causing him to wake up.
COOKIE MONSTER: Wuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuh wuh happened?! Why me all wet? Oh, this must have been one of those wet dreams! Well anyway, this Alistair Cookie saying buh-bye from Monsterpiece Theater. (Pause) May me borrow towel?
