"Butch Gardens, Episode 59" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (LONNIE, FOOFEE, ELINOR RADLEY, and the PANTHER LADY are 
            stalking drug lords.)

LONNIE
I’m worried about Annie---

ELINOR RADLEY
Silence!  Do you want to get us killed?

            (Walking, tracking.  ELINOR RADLEY stops everyone.)

                     ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
Do you hear men up ahead?

            (The women look at each other.  Even the PANTHER LADY has a dumb look 
            behind her whiskers.)

                   ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
Can any of you hear men?

            (Dumb looks.)

FOOFEE
I used to hear my brother Feefoo.  But he was the only one, and he’s dead now.

ELINOR RADLEY
Well, what are we supposed to do?

            (ELINOR RADLEY drops her machete.  The butt end lands on the PANTHER 
            LADY’s paw.  She yowls.)

                    ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
Do you want them to hear us?

PANTHER LADY
            (Hissing)
If we can’t hear them, what makes you think they can hear us?

            END OF EPISODE 59.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 58" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (The two gray-heads, GEORGETTE and GRACE, are traversing the jungle with 
            COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE, on a mission for something.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Can either of you actually hear men?

GEORGETTE
What do you mean?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Hear their voices when they speak?

GRACE
Of course---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I can’t.  They’re too low.

GRACE
Ridiculous---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
They say the high tones go first.  But, as a woman living among women, I’ve lost my low.

GEORGETTE
Grace’s voice is very gravelly because of her Camels---I don’t fault her---and you hear her fine.

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
There’s something feminine---

GEORGETTE
That’s silly---

GRACE
But, Georgette:  last month, the UPS guy came to the door.  I think it was those herbal teas.  And he was moving his lips like he wanted something.  But neither of us heard him.  So, after a few minutes, he walked away.

GEORGETTE
Now that you mention it, I haven’t heard a man in years.  Remember when those missionaries showed up on bicycles?  We stood there nodding for half an hour.

GRACE
I guess we can’t hear men.

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
So tell me how we’ll know when we’re near the drug lords?

            (She snorts some snuff.)

            END OF EPISODE 58.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 57" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (Enter the two gray-heads, GEORGETTE and GRACE, followed by 
            COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE.  The COUNTESS is taking snuff.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Do you get the idea . . . that we were put in this group . . . because we’re---snort!---infirm?

GRACE
Speak for---

GEORGETTE
            (Simultaneously)
I don’t like “infirm.”

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
We’ve got a couple centuries among us---

GRACE
            (To GEORGETTE)
What’s with her?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Do you mind if I sit?

GEORGETTE
We’re supposed to . . .  What are we doing, Grace?

GRACE
That bossy one said, “Go!”  Search for men, I guess.

            (They cock their heads as if to pick up sounds.)

GEORGETTE
Is that men up ahead?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Can either of you hear men?

            (Stares.)

            END OF EPISODE 57.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 56" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (Led by the PANTHER LADY, ELINOR RADLEY, FOOFEE, and LONNIE 
            are crouching, creeping, spying.)

LONNIE
Are we looking for Annie?

ELINOR RADLEY
We’re looking for men to kill.  There’s no time to explain---

LONNIE
But Annie---?

ELINOR RADLEY
I don’t know---shhh!

            (The PANTHER LADY growls.)

                    ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
Are we there?

FOOFEE
If it’s any consolation, I’m sure she’ll turn up.  Eventually.

            (The PANTHER LADY hisses for everyone to shut the F up.)

            END OF EPISODE 56.
