"Butch Gardens, Episode 30" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (The cube that GEORGETTE shares with the ANACONDA.)

GEORGETTE
So . . . is there something I should do?

ANACONDA
You can massage my spine---

GEORGETTE
No---

ANACONDA
You can read me one of those Reader’s Digests.

            (The snake indicates a stack of magazines.)

GEORGETTE
I’m talking to the woman inside you.  Lonnie?

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
Yes?

GEORGETTE
You’re getting quieter.

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
Don’t mind me.

ANACONDA
You heard her.  Massage my spine.

GEORGETTE
Is there anything I can do for you, Lonnie?  Anything?

            (Silence.)

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
            (Sheepishly)
Remember me fondly?

            (The snake smiles.)

GEORGETTE
Things are serious in my cube.

            (She thinks.)

END OF EPISODE 30.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 29" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (The last cube.  The ABOMINATION is wearing a pretty yellow-stoned ring.  
            She addresses the jewel.)

ABOMINATION
Now that you are dead and encased in amber---I’ve made a beautiful ring, haven’t I?---I will tell you my origin story.

            (ELINOR RADLEY would love to thrash and shout expletives---but, her soul 
            stuck in amber, what can she do?  A voiceover, perhaps?)

ELINOR RADLEY (Voiceover)
No!  I don’t want to hear it!

ABOMINATION
You must!

ELINOR RADLEY (Voiceover)
Hell is other people!

ABOMINATION
            (Beginning her tale)
You may have noticed I have two heads . . .

            END OF EPISODE 29.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 28" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (ANNIE and FOOFEE’s cube.)

FOOFEE
We’re having company today.

ANNIE
Are we?

FOOFEE
Well, things were getting a little dull---

ANNIE
Yes, but . . .

            (Ding dong!)

FOOFEE
Here they are!

            (The PANTHER LADY opens the cube door from the outside and lets in 
            COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE and the gray-headed GRACE.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Just two lesbians out for a stroll!

GRACE
We brought fresh fruit!

ANNIE
Where did you get it?

            END OF EPISODE 28.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 27" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (ANNIE’s and FOOFEE’s cube.  FOOFEE is cleaning.  She dusts right up to the 
            other woman and gives her a light whack.)

ANNIE
I’m looking for Lonnie.

FOOFEE
Are you, though?  It seems like you’re sitting there.

ANNIE
Well, what can I---?

FOOFEE
Not dwell on your sorrows.  Did I tell you I had a brother Feefoo?  He was Alsatian---

ANNIE
They always are---

FOOFEE
He was my everything.  He died yesterday.  You don’t hear me complaining.

ANNIE
But . . .

FOOFEE
But what?

ANNIE
But . . .

FOOFEE
Yes?

ANNIE
He didn’t . . . he didn’t have any lines.  So we never got to know him.  But Lonnie . . . 

FOOFEE
Thinking too much---it’s not good for the head.

            (She whacks ANNIE with a brush.)

            END OF EPISODE 27.
