Scooter's Story

[Super Scooter]

ok... no complaints about scene 8 yet...

SCENE 9

INT. MUPPET THEATER

Early in the morning. KERMIT enters with coffee mug in hand.

KERMIT: *yawn!* Boy, what a night. I'm sure glad that's over with. Now maybe we can get back to how things were. We have a show tonight, so there's a lot to get done. Have to make up call sheets and ensure we'll have scenery and props... have to make sure no one on the call sheet gets eaten until they're scheduled to. Glad we have our go-fer, we might never get done. (calls out) Scooter! Oh, Scooter?! Oh, that's right. Scooter's not here anymore. Well, I guess I can do it myself. Now, where's that clipboard? I, uh... I know it's around here somewhere. Where'd I leave it? ... Oh, right. I gave it to Scooter. Well, Scooter would know where it is. (he starts to call out again) ... no, no. That's funny, I just did that. Well, that's ok. We can make due without the clipboard. Better go get my morning coffee.

KERMIT walks to the coffee pot to discover it's empty. He is shocked and confused.

KERMIT: No coffee? Well, we're never out of coffee! Confounded, blasted coffee machine! How do you make the coffee? (calls out) Scooter! Scooter?! ... *sigh* This is gonna be a rough month.

 

[Super Scooter]

Hmmm. I feel like it's still going down hill...

 

[The Count]

And that's a bad thing?

Personally loved Weird Al's appearance and song, big fan though I haven't bought the last two albums. I know, I should probably be made to hand in my fandom stub.
And Kermit continually calling for Scooter forgetting he's gone... It adds something to the story... A running gag, if you intended it to be that.

Keep postin', that's the only way a righteous story gets done.

And Kermit continually calling for Scooter forgetting he's gone... It adds something to the story... A running gag, if you intended it to be that.

Well, it was more just Kermit coping, intended to be sorta funny, but thanks for the encouragement.

 

[The Count]

Any time...

 

[ryhoyarbie]

ZOOT nods in agreement. (editor's note: See? Big things for Zoot already!)

Oh wow! I'm really impressed!! Keep it coming!

 

[Super Scooter]

Oh wow! I'm really impressed!! Keep it coming!

[ryhoyarbie]

Me? Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[theprawncracker]

Oh it's great!!! I LOVED the leper colony! Too funny! "Lepers or leopards" loved it! Great job Scoot, keep it up!

 

[Super Scooter]

Now, getting away from the lepers...

SCOOTER: Well, gosh. Is that how all of your gigs turn out?

FLOYD: What you talkin' 'bout, man? That was a great gig!

SCOOTER: Really?

FLOYD: Sure it was!

DR. TEETH: We coulda been playin' the sewage refinery again.

FLOYD: Now, there was a crappy gig.

JANICE: Like, fer sure! Rully! I couldn't get the smell out of my hair fer months!

FLOYD: But, you know, it didn't turn out half bad.

SCOOTER: Really? Why's that?

FLOYD: We were finally able to revive our careers...

DR. TEETH: ... after being flushed down the toilet so long ago!

ANIMAL: All washed up...

FLOYD: Anyway, man, the next gig should go alot better.

SCOOTER: Oh? Where are we playing?

FLOYD: Nowhere but the big time, kid!

EXT. CIRCUS TENT

ESTABLISHING SHOT...

INT. CIRCUS TENT

SCOOTER and the ELECTRIC MAYHEM are gathered inside the tent, watching the different circus performers go by.

SCOOTER: This is the big time?

FLOYD: Uh, did I say the big time? I meant the big TOP. Yeah, that's what I meant.

ANIMAL: Freaks! Freaks!

FLOYD: No, Animal! You can't eat a circus freak! You'll spoil your appetite!

ANIMAL: Ac-Ro-Bat ladies?

FLOYD: Yeah, I guess you can play with one o' them acrobat ladies.

ANIMAL: Ah! Thank you! Flexible! Flexible!

ANIMAL goes chasing after some acrobat artists.

SCOOTER: Well, I guess it's better than nothing.

BEAN BUNNY approaches.

BEAN BUNNY: Hello, everyone! My name is Bean Bunny, and I'm the cute and lovable part of this picture made to attract the littlest children to the theater, where they can buy popcorn and candy and soda, all at ridiculous prices the unsuspecting parents will have to shell out!

FLOYD: And how do you feel about that?

BEAN BUNNY: Eh, it's a paycheck.

SCOOTER: Yeah, anyway, we know who you are, Bean.

ELECTRIC MAYHEM: (reluctant) Hi, Bean.

ZOOT: 'sup?

BEAN BUNNY: So, what are you guys doin'? Can I help ya? Huh, huh, huh? Can I? Please?

FLOYD: Yeah, sure, you can help. Pick up one of them ampliphiers and bring it over here.

BEAN BUNNY: Oh, sure! No problem! Anything to help out a friend.

BEAN tries to pick up the ampliphier.

BEAN: Oh, that's heavy.

He strains, and struggles with it. Of course, the ampliphier never budges.

BEAN: Maybe if I--- ooof! Eek! ... It'll... OOOF! AIYEE! urgh... MOVE DARN YOU! WAAAAAAH!

BEAN collapses, exhausted. He stands, panting.

BEAN: Maybe there's a microphone I could carry for you?

FLOYD: Never mind, man. Just sit there and look cute and attract the paying customers.

SCOOTER and BEAN start to walk away together.

SCOOTER: So, what are you doing here, Bean?

BEAN: Oh, I came looking for you! I wanna be a rock star, too.

SCOOTER: You want to be a rock star?

BEAN: Yeah! I've got all that old big rock star stuff. Kiss, Queen, the Stones, I got Zeppelin, some Guns 'N' Roses... I've even got some old Skynyrd! Oh, but don't tell anyone, ok?

SCOOTER: Why not?

BEAN: You know how Disney likes to market their kid's characters.

SCOOTER: Ah, I see.

BEAN: You know, we haven't hung out like this in a long time. Remember when we got ice cream at Disney Wo-

The two run into BOBO THE BEAR.

BOBO: Hey, what are you two fellas doin' wanderin' around here?

SCOOTER: Bobo?

BOBO: No, no, no! That's not my name here!

SCOOTER: But that is your name. Hi, Bobo!

BOBO: Shh! If they find out my name is Bobo, they're gonna think I'm a bear.

BEAN: But... you are a bear.

BOBO: But they can't think I'm a bear. If they think I'm a bear, then they'll lock me up take me on the road with them and junk!

SCOOTER: Then... what should we call you?

BOBO: Oh, you can just call me Bob-O.

SCOOTER: Bob-O?

BOBO: Yup, Bob-O. Bob-O the Security Guard.

SCOOTER: ... You're a security guard?
