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....

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

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...
RUMPLE- (from behind a tree) The cow as white as milk the cape as red as blood the fur as yellow as corn the slipper as pure as gold,
MUNGO- What are you doing 'ere???!!!
RUMPLE- You forgot your scarf?
MUNGO- (rolls his eyes) GO 'OME!
(An arguement ensues about wheather she should return home but they stop fighting as Jack passes by )
RUMPLE- The cow, as white as * milk *
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
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate
GRIZ- And they call me crazy!
MISTO- (runs off leaving the cow)
MUNGO- Magic beans?
RUMPLE- I 'ad to tell 'im somthing!
MUNGO- You 'ave no reason to belive they're magic!
MISTO- except you got them from a witch
RUMPLE- 'E wouldn't have gotton more for this creature
VICKY- Maybe he would have actully gotton a monatarty unit
MUNGO- Are we to dispel this curse through deceit?
DEM- Why not?
RUMPLE- If you know what you want
then you go
and you find it and you get it---
LEC- We want this parody to end.
MUNGO- ( pointing) 'OME!!
RUMPLE- Do we want a kitten or not?
and you give
and you take
and you bid
and you bargin
or you live to regret it
MUNGO- Will you PLEASE go 'ome??
CET- I don't think that's working.
RUMPLE- There are rights
and wrongs
and in betweens
no one waits while fortune intevenes
And maybe they're really magic, who knows?
Why you do
what 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
what's important really is the size!
TUGGER- *starts to snicker*
Dani- Gutter brain!!
RUMPLE- Only three more tries and we'll 'ave or prize
when the end's in sight you'll realize
if the ends it right
it justifies
the BEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAANNNNNNNSSSSSS
(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.
VERONI- And Angelfire will kill me if this file gets too long so just hold on tight and if we're lucky, she won't notice.
