SHORT SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPT
BRENDA
Wait. How do I get to the Prince's castle?
HILDA
You can fly, teleport.
BRENDA
Actually, I'd prefer to walk.
HILDA
Walk?
BRENDA
Well, broom power is creating all kinds of pollution in the
skies!
HILDA
We wouldn't have the colorful sunsets without pollution, my
dear.
BRENDA
And teleporting could scare someone. I wouldn't want to
appear in people's gardens and scare them.
HILDA
No, I suppose you wouldn't.
BRENDA
So if you could point the way by foot.
HILDA
Fine, just follow the brown brick road.
BRENDA
Follow the brown brick road?
(A
bunch of little GNOMES do a can-can as the enter singing)
GNOMES
"Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick road."
HILDA
Oh, quiet you crazy Gnomes. Get out of here.
(HILDA
throws one of her shoes at them and they scramble off stage)
BRENDA
But they were so cute.
GNOMES (off)
Thanks!
HILDA
Watch out for them. They're pests.
(GNOMES
rush in)
GNOMES
We know you are but what are we.
HILDA
Excuse my while I go turn some gnomes to stone and stick
them in somebody's yard.
GNOMES
Eeek!
(GNOMES
run off as HILDA chases them)
BRENDA
Poor little guys. They don't look like pests at all.
Okay, now she told me the way. So I just need to...
(GNOMES
rush in)
GNOMES
"Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick road."
(HILDA rushes in and GNOMES run
off with her exiting behind. BRENDA starts skipping along)
BRENDA
Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road.
GNOMES (off)
"Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick
road."
HILDA (off)
Stop that!
(BRENDA skips along humming and
then a WOLF appears. WOLF is dabbing his mouth with a small red cloak)
BRENDA
Oh, hello, there.
(WOLF
hides red cloak behind his back)
WOLF
Oh!
BRENDA
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
WOLF
Little girls do that to me.
BRENDA
Little girls scare you?
WOLF
All the time.
BRENDA
Why is that?
WOLF
It's all that screaming. Little girls scream too much.
BRENDA
I won't.
WOLF
You sure? I am scary.
(Makes
scary arm motion)
Grrr.
BRENDA
That wasn't too scary.
WOLF
The last little girl thought so. Scared her so bad she
dropped this.
(Holds
out red cloak)
BRENDA
Poor thing. I bet she will get cold without it.
WOLF
I didn't think of that. But she ran so fast I doubt we'll
catch her.
BRENDA
Maybe this is the time to try a little magic.
WOLF
Magic? You a fairy?
BRENDA
I'm a witch actually.
WOLF
A witch? But you're not ugly.
BRENDA
Not all witches are ugly. That's a common misconception.
WOLF
Miscon-what?
BRENDA
Misconception. It means people believe one thing about you
but it's not true.
WOLF
I know exactly what you mean. People misconwhattionize me
all the time. Man, you accidentally knock down some pig's house with a sneeze
and that start telling stories about you. And now there's this little girl
and her red hood. Who knows what they'll say about this one.
BRENDA
Wolves and witches have it tough.
WOLF
That they do.
BRENDA
But maybe I can do a little damage control. Set down the
cloak and stand back.
(WOLF
puts down red cloak and backs away)
WOLF
What you going to do?
BRENDA
I'm going to do a return to owner spell.
(BRENDA
does a little dance. Polka music plays)
Holka Polka!
(Lights
flash and zap is heard. Blackout)
WOLF
Ah! I'm blind!
BRENDA
Either I am too or something happened.
WOLF
Maybe you returned the moon. I wonder who the owner was?
