"Butch Gardens, Episode 32" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (GEORGETTE’s cube, with the ANACONDA.  The old woman addresses the 
            person inside the snake.)

GEORGETTE
Lonnie?

ANACONDA
She must finally be dead.

GEORGETTE
            (Quietly)
No . . .

ANACONDA
We have one less person to worry---

            (GEORGETTE grabs the box of Reader’s Digests and beats the snake with them.)

                 ANACONDA (Continued)
Ah! ah!

            (Snake guts.)

GEORGETTE
I may be old but . . . I can’t think how to end that one.  But you’re dead.

            (Ooze.  With its dying breath, the ANACONDA barfs up LONNIE.)

            END OF EPISODE 32.

"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 24" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)

            (A large cube.  GEORGETTE, the other grayhead, is in there with a giant snake.)

GEORGETTE
Are you friendly?

ANACONDA
I’m well-fed---

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
I’m here, too!

GEORGETTE
Three? in the same cube?

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
I’m being digested . . .

GEORGETTE
Do I know you?

ANACONDA
            (Answering her question)
You’ve probably run into snakes like me at the reptile house . . .

GEORGETTE
            (To the snake)
Dear, I was talking to the woman inside you.

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
In life, I was called Lonnie---

GEORGETTE
You were that auburn-haired’s girlfriend.

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
Annie---

GEORGETTE
“In life”?  Are you dead?

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
A few hours . . .

ANACONDA
            (To her meal)
Lonnie . . . does it hurt when I burp?

VOICE FROM WITHIN THE ANACONDA
No more than dying . . .

            (The snake burps loudly.  GEORGETTE is tickled.  Outside the cubes, the
            PANTHER LADY scampers about.)

            END OF EPISODE 24.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 17" by Mocha Tchokha Rose

            (LONNIE is still sulking in the brush.  The music from FOOFEE’s dance can be
            heard.  Someone approaches LONNIE from behind.)

LONNIE
Are you back?  I’m not mad.  Just a minute.

            (The figure gets closer.  LONNIE turns around.  It’s an anaconda!)

                 LONNIE (Continued)
Hey!  AH!

            (She faints.  The anaconda starts to drag her off.)

                LONNIE (Continued)
Wait!  I haven’t fainted!  Hey, ah!

            (LONNIE bumps her head on a rock.  She passes out.  The anaconda drags her. 
            No one hears because of the music and the dance.)

            END OF EPISODE 17.

"Butch Gardens, Episode 13" by Mocha Tchokha Rose

            (Behind some trees.  The drums and the PANTHER LADY’s scatting can still be
            heard.)

ANNIE
Why did---?

LONNIE
What’s the matter with you, Annie?

ANNIE
With me?

LONNIE
You.  And all those women.  You’re mesmerized---

ANNIE
She’s a---

LONNIE
I saw you looking---

ANNIE
Like you don’t---

LONNIE
Put your tongue back in your head!  Honestly . . .

ANNIE
I’ve never given you cause---

LONNIE
Till now.

PANTHER LADY (Off)
---dingus dingus dung.
 
ANNIE
            (After a moment)
I’m going back.

LONNIE
Annie!

ANNIE
We won’t last five minutes in the jungle if you’re a jealous lunatic.  Now, let me be!

            (ANNIE storms off.  LONNIE huffs.  An anaconda sidles up to her.  Continued
            drumming.)

            END OF EPISODE 13.
