BOMB- Ow! Electra, stage fighting only please!

LEC- Sorry, got a little carried away there.

MUNKU- Because the baker had lost his father and mother in a baking accident...

CATS-( give him a puzzled look) Huh?

CASS- A baking accident?

MUNKU- Or at least that's what he believed

MISTO- (holding a flashlight) the truth is out there.

MUNKU- he was eager to start a family of his own and concerned that all efforts had failed.

TUGGER- Did he try Viagra?

MUNGO- Can I kill 'im??

RUMPLE- Don' worry Mungo love, Tuggers jus' teasin' any way Bomb told me of a little incident....

TUGGER- I gottta go!!!! ( runs)

(Knock on the bakers door)

MUNGO- Who might that be?

RUMPLE- We 'ave sold our last loaf of bread

MUNGO- (panicked) It's the witch from next door!!!

(Witch enters.... dressed like the Miss. Grizones from "How to Succeed"???)

DANI- ACK!! GRIZ!! WRONG PLAY!!!

GRIZ-(singing) In the brotherhood of toms

DANI- Go change!!!

TUGGER- (makes the universel signel for nutcase)

(Griz gets into her real costume)

( *ahem* Witch enters)

RUMPLE+MUNGO- We 'ave no bread

GRIZ- Of COURSE you have no bread

MISTO- And the play ends from lack of bread?

DANI- Not likely

MISTO- darn

MUNGO- What do you wish?

GRIZ- It's not what I wish , it's what YOU wish (points to Rumple's belly) Nothing cooking down there now, is there

MUNKU- The old enchatress explains she had placed a spell on there house

MUNGO- What spell?!!

GRIZ- When you were just a kitten your father brought his young wife and you to this cottage. They were a handsome couple, but not handsome neighbors

TUGGER- ( in little old lady voice) They left the radio blaring at at all hours of the gosh-darn night!

DANI- Do I have to resort to the socks?

TUGGER- ( shakes his head no)

DANI- Good.

GRIZ- You see, your mother was with kitten

DEM- Which seems to be a ongoing theme in this family.

GRIZ- and she had devloped an unusual appitite

POUNCE- Like those people who want pickles and ice cream?

GRIZ-She took one look at my beautiful garden and told your father what she wanted more then anything in the world was...

GREENS greens,

nothing but greens

parsely peppers, cabbages and cellery

Asparagus

GUS- Huh? wha?

JELLY- Not you Gus

GUS- Oh alright, did I ever tell you about the time....

DANI- Maybe later Gus ( motions for Griz to start talking before they have to listen to Gus)

GRIZ- and watercress, fiddlefurns and lettuce

He said alright,

but it wasn't quite

'cause I caught him

in my garden

in the autumn

one night

TUGGER- And the tounge twisters just keep on coming...

GRIZ- He was robbing me

raping me

rooting through my Ruabagh

raiding my arugahla

and ripping up my rampion

my champion my favorite

DEM- Dang, last parody was pineapple, this one is salad these people have serious vegie fixation.

GRIZ- I should have layed a spell on him right there!

Turned him into stone

or a dog

CATS- AAAAAHHHHHHHH, RUN!!!!!

DANI- Cool it, Griz can't really turn you into dogs

CATS- ( wearily make their way back to the stage)

GRIZ- Or a chair

But I let 'im have the rampion I've lots to spare

in return however I said fair is fair

You'll let me have the kitten that your wife will bare

LEC- Wait, lemme get this straight, a kitten for vegetables?

DEM- I don't think I see the fairness in that

MUNKU- Besides it being seriously against the law

GRIZ- And we'll call it square

MUNGO- I 'ad a brother??!!

GRIZ- NO! But you had a sister...

MUNKU- But the witch refused to tell him more of his sister, not even that her name was Caspunzel

CASS- You weren't kidding when you said you needed all of us were you?

DANI- Nope, I might not need a few of the guys but things are getting tight and I might even need to call in some of your relatives

TUGGER- Oh no, not the siamese squad!!

DANI- It might be either that or you guys cross-dress.

POUNCE- I say we let Cass's reletive's help out.

DANI- We might not need them, hang on...

MUNKU- She went on:

GRIZ- I thought I had been more the reasonable, that we all might live happily ever after, but how was I to know what he had hidden in his pockett?! You see, I inherited this garden from my mother

BOMB- Who wants jewelry or clothing or even furniture, when you can get a garden?

MUNKU- They were probably pretty happy with it seeing how they all love fruits and veggies so much.

GRIZ- She warned me that I would be punished if I ever was to loose any of the beans

RUMPLE+MUNGO- Beans????

GRIZ- THE SPECIAL BEANS! I was watching him crawl back over the wall, when BANG CRASH! the lightening flashed, but that's another story never mind

DANI- (mouthing the lines from backstage)

TUGGER- Hey how do you know the lines

DANI- I was in this one!

GRIZ- Anyway-- at last the big day came, to make my claim,

don't take away the kitten they shrieked and screeched

but I did

and I hid her where she'll never be reached!

And your father cried and your mother died

but fo extra measure

I must admit

it was a pleasure

I said " Sorry I'm still not molified"

and I layed a little spell on them

You too, son

CATS-( Trying to keep up with the lyrics)

TUGGER- My head! Owie.

GRIZ- That your family tree

would forever be a barren one

( cackles and Misto uses his magic to lift her up in the chair)

MISTO- Umph, Geez Griz, you're heavy!

GRIZ- And there's no more fuss

and there's no more scenes and my garden thrieves

you shoud see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same I told kings and queens

QUEENS- Huh?

DANI- Urghhhh ( bangs her head against the wall again)

GRIZ- Never ever ever mess around with my greens!

( bum bum) especially the beans!

JELLY- ( in her cottage) Now listen here Jack. Lead milky-white to market and

and fetch the best price you can for her

MISTO- What do I look like a pollicle? Cats don't fetch anything

JELLY- I want five pounds, no less do you understand?

MISTO- Yes

JELLY- How much?

MISTO- No more then five pounds!

JELLY- ( pinches his ear) LESS, NO LESS then five pounds!!

MISTO- OWW leggo! I'm very delicate!!

JELLY- Jack jack jack, head in a sack

the house is getting colder

this is no time for dreaming!

Chimney-stack

starting to crack

the mice are getting bolder

TUGGER- Ohh looks like Jenny's lying down on the job!

MUNKU-(singing) And that's what makes a gumbie cat....

BOMB, JELLY & DEM- (singing) buuuut, when the day's husttle and bustle is done, then the gumbie cats's work is but hardly begun...

DANI- WRONG PLAY!!!

JELLY- The floor has gone slack

Your mother's getting older

your father's not back

you can't just sit here dreaming pretty dreams!

To wish and wait from day to day

will never keep the wolves away

TUGGER- Then just try new Wolf Away, by Brothers Grim skin products, guarenteed to get rid of wolves or your money back!

JELLY- Sooo into the woods the time is now

we have to live

I don't care how

Into the woods to sell the cow

you must begin the journey

straight through the woods

And don't delay

we have to face

the market place

Into the woods to journey's end....

MISTO- (rolls eyes at his diologe) Into the woods to sell a friend!

JELLY- Someday you'll have a real pet Jack

MISTO- A piggy??!!

CATS- (cracking up)

MISTO- I can't believe I have to do this

DANI- It's part of somthing called ACTING, I'm sure you'e familer with it.

JELLY- (shakes her head in disbelif and pushes Jack out the door)

MUNKU- Meanwhile, the witch, for purposes of her own, exlains how the baker might lift the spell:

GRIZ- You wish to have the curse reversed I'll need a certain potion first

go into the the woods and bring me back one, the cow as white as milk

CET- Ewwwwww.

GRIZ- Three the fur as yellow as corn

Four: the slipper as pure as gold

MISTO- Ye old scavenger hunt.

GRIZ-Bring me these things before the stroke of mid-night

In three days time

a Kitten as perfect as kitten can be

MISTO- I have to be a techie and have a part? This bites!!

MUNKU- Unknown to the Wolf and Little red Jemmy hood, the baker has wittnessed the whole scene and is concerned for the little girl's safty, but the witch admonishes him to forget about the girl and go after her cape "as red as blood", unfoutuneatly the baker is so frazzled, he forgets the ingredients to the spell

LEC- That's just because he only hears it 20 times.

MUNGO- The cow as pure as gold the slipper as yella as corn the....

MUNKU- Luckily his wife, looking for any excuse to join him...

MUNGO- 'EY! Are you looking to sell the fine creature?

MISTO- Oh yes! My mother wanted me to bring her to markett

MUNGO- 'Ow much are you askin'?

MISTO- (trying hard to remember) No less then five pounds!!

MUNKU-The bakers's wife suggests that Jack swap the cow for five of their six beans, which she leads him to believe are magic.

JENNY- Shame shame dear, lying is wrong

POUNCE- You're telling this to cats who make their living stealing?

JENNY- Oh yes...forgot for a moment.

MUNKU- Jack agrees to the exchange and bids a tearful farewell to his beloved cow.

POUNCE- I think now would be a bad time to tell what hambuger is made of.

MISTO- (to the cow) I guess this is the end ol' pal

CATS- (start to giggle)

MISTO- You've been the perfect friend

I hate to see us part ol' pal, but someday I'll buy you back

I'll see you soon again

It won't be on a plate

GRIZ- And they call me crazy!

MISTO- (runs off leaving the cow)

MUNGO- Magic beans?

RUMPLE- There are rights

And maybe they're really magic, who knows?

Why you do

that's the point

all the rest of it is chatter

MUNGO- (gesturing towards the cow) Look at 'er she's cryin!!!

MUNKU- Somebody's been going a bit heavy on the cat-nip...

RUMPLE- If the thing that you do

is pure intent

if it's ment

and it's just little bent

does it matter?

MUNGO- Yes

MUNKU- This is the perfect song for them

DEM- I'm surprised they haven't started doing cartwheels yet.

RUMPLE- NO! Everyone tells tiny lies

TUGGER- *starts to snicker*

Dani- Gutter brain!!

RUMPLE- Only three more tries and we'll 'ave or prize

(Four glasses, a coffee mug, a crystel ducky,two windows, a bunch of empty liquer bottles and Bustopher's long breaking monocule shatter)

Bustopher- ( walks off mumbleing)I don't know why I even wear it any more I really don't, I'm the Saint James street cat for heavyside sake!

RUMPLE- I think Oi broke my "My Fair Jellicle" record.

MUNKU- The baker is upset about his wife's use of decite to secure the cow, and tells her to bring it home. Elsewhere the witch goes to vist Caspunzel, who spends her time singing and combing her fur.

CASS- What great hobbies, can't I build ships in a bottle, or do jig-saw puzzles?

GRIZ- Caspunzel, Caspunzel, let down your fur to me

CASS- (lets down a long wig "As Yellow as corn")

GRIZ- (starts to climb)

CASS- AAAAAAAHHHHHOWWWWWWWW!!!

DEM- That's not in the fairy tale!

DANI- Well she did have somebody climbing up her hair, it had to hurt.

MUNKU- Unknown to her is that she was seen by a Prince who is determined to ask Caspunzel to let her fur down to him the very next day. Meanwhile, elsewhere the baker is in pursuit of Little red Jemmy Hood who was swallowed by the wolf, who already ate grandma.

JEM- Ewwwwww, narsty.

MUNKU- As the baker passes by the cottage he hears the wolf dressed up like grandma snoring

MUNGO- What a big nose you 'ave, and big ears and big teeth... 'EY that ain't grandma!

TUGGER- How perceptive

MUNKU- The baker rescues them both from the wolf and is rewarded by Little Red Jemmy Hood

JEM- Here sir I remeber you admiring my cape, you can have it

MUNGO- Really? Thank ya'!

JEM- It's alright! Grandma says she'll skin the wolf for me and make me a new one from its pelt ( laughs evily )

BOMB- Now that's a kitten with layers...

SKIMBLE- Just keep her away from sharp objects

MUNKU- Back at his cottage Jack's mother isn't very pleased with the exchange

JENNY- Who would be? He trades a cow for 5 beans.

JELLY- BEANS???

MISTO- Magic beans!!!

JELLY- ( tosses them out the window)

VERONI- Uhm... OUCH!!

JELLY- Well, what were you doing down there?

VERONI- Would you believe checking the house's foundation for cracks?

CATS- Nuh-uh.

VERONI- Drat. Well, anyhow I belive my point was that we have to take an HTML break.

MISTO- But dictator--

JELLY- Director!

MISTO- Same difference. Director Dani over there will kill us if we stop here.
