"Butch Gardens, Episode 51" by MTR Studios (Mocha Tchokha Rose, head writer)


            (The Fountain of Youth.  The two gray-heads, GEORGETTE and GRACE, are 
            up to their necks in pure water---pure eau, pure o-oh!  Their bodies are returned to 
            youth.  Their mouths kiss beautifully, passionately, historically, familiarly---the 
            gentle, powerful kisses of ones who have known each other an awfully long time.)

            (Above the horizon, the silhouettes of a giant SUSAN B. ANTHONY and 
            HELEN KELLER can be seen.  They waltz searchingly.)

            END OF EPISODE 51.

"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.)

"Butch Gardens, Episode 20" by Mocha Tchokha Rose

            (ELINOR RADLEY is enthralling the masses---except for LONNIE, who is
            caught by an anaconda somewhere, and COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE, who
            dozes.)

ELINOR RADLEY
As I was telling you, my father was the hypocritical entrepreneur Boo Radley, who wanted a son but got me.  And, somehow, in his business dealings, he bought half the Amazon.  He intended to tear it down to grow hops---but died too soon.  But not before he had lost all his possessions with the click of a roulette wheel in Monte Carlo.

            (The COUNTESS wakes up.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
            (Snorting)
I remember!  I was there!

            (She falls back asleep.)

ELINOR RADLEY
But he didn’t really lose everything, you see; because he retained a small plot of land.  Not small, really---a million acres jammed with orchids and sloths.  It started as a lesbian amusement park.  Not really, though.  At first, it was a home for blind lesbians founded by Susan B. Anthony’s grand-niece:  the Susan B. Anthony Home for Blind Lesbians, I believe.  But everyone called it “Butch Gardens” because of the flowers that grew and because of a statue of Susan in a particularly mannish pose.

            (The COUNTESS raises her head.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
Was she scratching her balls?

ELINOR RADLEY
            (Incredulously)
No.  Her legs were just wide
 
            (COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE falls back asleep.)

                  ELINOR RADLEY (Continued)
With a name like “Butch Gardens,” it was only natural that---with the craze in the 1960s---the place became an amusement park.  And a lesbian amusement park, because who but lesbians would vacation in the Amazon?  Unfortunately, lesbians have no money, though; so no one came.

FOOFEE
What about indigenous lesbians?

            (ELINOR RADLEY glares for a second, then shrugs.)

ELINOR RADLEY
A fair question.  Some of them might have come; I don’t care.  But the high-stakes lesbians didn’t, because they were too poor.  Only the ultra-rich lesbians.  And there aren’t many.  Just me.

            (COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE snorts awake.)

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I also came!  I especially liked the pavilion where you could gut your own fish.

ELINOR RADLEY
You were there, I remember.  But not often enough.  So there was no revenue; and the place closed.

GEORGETTE
This story is interesting but seems to meander.

FOOFEE
Like the River Meander.
