"Butch Gardens, Episode 38" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (At the entrance to Butch Gardens.  A loud barfing sound is emitted from the 
            foliage.  A human body spews out from the leaves, as though vomited.)

GEORGETTE
What’s that?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Excuse me---

GRACE
            (Referring to the body)
It looks like a Hollywood prop---

FOOFEE
’Covered in slime---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Be careful!

            (FOOFEE wipes the slime away.  The women gather around.)

FOOFEE
It’s . . . it’s . . .

ANNIE
IT’S LONNIE!

            (The PANTHER LADY bays loudly.)

            END OF EPISODE 38.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 37" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (By the entrance to Butch Gardens.  The ladies are snoozy.  The fire is hissy and 
            spurty.  The PANTHER LADY puts it out under a heap of banana leaves.  The 
            women start to rouse themselves.)

ELINOR RADLEY
Finally . . .

GEORGETTE
I had the strangest---

GRACE
Hold me, Georgie---

ANNIE
            (Looking around)
Lonnie?

GEORGETTE
            (To GRACE)
You haven’t called me Georgie since---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
A most uneventful sleep---

ANNIE
The dream and the wake are never which way you want them to be.  Lonnie.

            END OF EPISODE 37.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 36" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (As the dream cube sequence comes to an end [finally!] two enormous goddesses 
            appear on the horizon, big as the door to heaven.  One is SUSAN B. 
            ANTHONY, in an especially mannish pose.  With her is her favorite blind 
            lesbian, HELEN KELLER.)

SUSAN B.
            (Sighing [sic] into HELEN’s palm)
Let’s have an oligarchy of sex.

            (The two speak their special twin language.)

            END OF EPISODE 36.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 35" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (In ANNIE’s and FOOFEE’s cube.  The gray-heads, GEORGETTE and 
            GRACE, are kissing.)

GEORGETTE
Grace, I’m so glad!

GRACE
Honey, you’re covered with blood!

            (ANNIE sits up suddenly.)

ANNIE
That’s not---?

GEORGETTE
Oh, it’s just snake blood, dear.  I killed an anaconda with some reading material.

ANNIE
Oh.  Then Lonnie---

GEORGETTE
About Lonnie . . .

ANNIE
Yes?

ELINOR RADLEY
First, let’s talk about me.  I killed an abomination made from a woman-eating plant and the heads of some superfluous lesbians.

ANNIE
But Lonnie?

GEORGETTE
Well . . .

ELINOR RADLEY
I know when things have gone on too long.  Let’s wake up.  Panther Lady!

            (Outside the cube, the PANTHER LADY, snarling, takes a giant snuffer and puts 
            out the dream.)

            END OF EPISODE 35.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 34" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (ANNIE’s and FOOFEE’s cube.  Fruit-eating, and musing.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Oh, these raspberries!

GRACE
I worked on the bomb, you know!

FOOFEE
            (Looking up)
Really?

GRACE
Now you listen.  It wasn’t the real bomb---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
            (To FOOFEE)
What about blackberries?

GRACE
It was Hollywood.  I made bombs for pictures.  That’s where Georgette and I fell in love---

            (Ding dong!)

FOOFEE
Someone’s outside the cube!

            (Enter ELINOR RADLEY, covered in leaves and skull.)

ELINOR RADLEY
Remind me never---

GRACE
I’m going to finish!  Georgette and I got work as bomb seamstresses, for war pictures.

ELINOR RADLEY
What’s with her?

GRACE
So we were making bombs, side by side.  But I wasn’t sure if Georgette loved me.  So, one day, I made a false bomb.

FOOFEE
Weren’t they all---?

GRACE
And I detonated it, and covered myself with catsup and pretended to be dead.  And Georgie kissed me so much, we had to hide from our supervisor.  Later, she said---

            (Enter GEORGETTE, covered in snake blood.)

GEORGETTE and GRACE
            (GEORGETTE joins in)
Catsup never tasted so good!

            END OF EPISODE 34.
