(A bathroom with the shower running. It is Annie’s dormroom, her name has been changed to protect her. It is a college girls bathroom with stuff all over the vanity. The steam is covering the mirror and someone in the shower is singing along with the song on the radio. There is laughing.)
Annie: Because we are living in a material world and I am a uh uh uh material material- boys may come and boys may go! Yo! And I am a material a material a material a material a material a material woooorrrrllllddd!
(Enter Porche one of annie’s roommates)
Porche: hey material girl, you know I don’t want to interrupt your little fantacy and all but I think this material girl is using up all the hot water
Anniet: sorry I’m going to get out right now
(Porche goes to leave but stops in the doorway)
Porche: so theres nothing going on with you and that boy?
Annie: nope
Porche: Really? Are you sure?
Annie: Yeah I don’t think he even likes me I think it was just something silly means nothing
Porche: Ok Cloe if you say so…

Porche: What makes you think he doesn’t like you?
Cloe: because…
Porche: yeah I think you are lying
Cloe: i-I’m…no…nope
Porche: Yeah right there (she pulls the curtain back and reviels Trevor and Annie in the shower) Ho ho ho!
Cloe: (Screams) Porche (Trevor covers his junk)
Porche: I think you like him because you are in the shower with him, that’s why I think you like him
Cloe: I can explain

Trevor: ok but my real name is Alex and I’m actually 55 years old and trying to get you to be my personal porn star.
Annie: that doesn’t sound so far from the truth (Hears Porche on the stairs) hide in the closet then run into the bedroom and hide go go go!
(Trevor ducks out as Porche enters)
Porche: Ok where did he go?

24: Explosive Results
On one side of an exploded building.
Gloria: What you do is call in a bomb threat as a tiddly-wink diversion. You stand not to far from where you called it. You watch as the swat team comes in. Swoops in.
DR: And?
Gloria: Then when they’re all inside. You press detonate!
DR: Excellent.
Gloria: Then the police will come and the others too, the fat ones, the skinny ones, and all the dumb ones who love spectacle and while they sit fat on their arses watching, we go commit a larger crime. Get me, pookie?
DR: Of course.
On the other side of the exploded building amidst chaos.
Annie: When is this nightmare going to end? When?
Jonathan: When we’re dead or when Gloria gets what she wants.
Trevor: Can’t we kill her?
Jonathan: I tried once. She’s like a ghost.
Annie: We need to know her weakness. But what about the movie reels?
Trevor: What about them?
Annie: Weren’t they in there?
Trevor: No, my friend Corey has them.
Annie: Don’t speak that out loud. Oh no there’s, Robert. We have to go.
Jonathan: We’ll have to go to Curtis Falco, he’s a trusted friend. I’ll take you to him now. He is kind of the leader of us.
Trevor: Nobody is the leader of me. God I just want to relax and read a book.
Jonathan: We can’t relax now.
Suddenly Trevor goes into violent spasms and disappears into thin air.
Annie: TREVOR!
On the other side of the building. Robert comes crawling from the flames.
Robert: They got their ropes untied and locked me in a closet.
Gloria: I was worried, toodles, that you were dead.
Robert: You don’t look very worried.
DR: Shhhh. Gloria is very tired. She just tried her first incantation since breaking into the magic wing.
Gloria: If it worked right, ma cherie Trevor should be back at FEMJINA INC. in the lab.
Robert: What did you say?
Gloria: Bibbity-Booobity-Bome. Make the boy in question go to his rightful home.
And then I do the secret move and it should work.
A dance competition. Alisa is being cheered off the stage. Roses, Flowers, and Chocolates are being tossed to her. Her Mom runs up and hugs her. Then she speaks to the audience.
Mom: I just want to say my daughter has worked so hard on this routine. Thank you for bringing us here in this competition.
Spectator: Your daughter is hot!
Spec. 2: So are you!
Mom: (blushes) Thank you.
Spec 3: Show us your titties!
Mom: I don’t think that’ll be happening today. Margaret and I are very tired. Aren’t you Margaret?
Alisa: Yes, I am, but thank you for all our support.
The crowd goes wild. Amidst the cheering, this follows somewhat overlapping:
Spec: You’re awesome!
Spec 3: Margaret, you’re magical. Awesome. Spectacular
Spec 5: I wanna dance like you. Do you teach lessons?
Mom: Margaret and I are thinking of opening our own studio. But I assure you it’s not magic. It’s. . .
In the center of the stage, Trevor reappears in front of the whole crowd. Dead silence for a second and then an uproar.
Mom: The hell with it. It’s magic. (to Alisa, quietly) We have to get him out of here.
Gloria: What you do is call in a bomb threat as a tiddly-wink diversion. You stand not to far from where you called it. You watch as the swat team comes in. Swoops in.
DR: And?
Gloria: Then when they’re all inside. You press detonate!

The curtain is pulled and the stage is sectioned into an upper half and a lower half. The lights are constantly changing while the actors run across the stage in a five minute interlude. As the chasing becomes more and more intense the actors start to make sounds of screaming and fear. From the side Alisa starts to dance onto stage as in the background the characters still chase themselves. She continues to dance as some of the people get caught and start to tie each other up. Alisa keeps dancing. The swat team comes in and then the lights go out and there is a huge explosion.

22: Blood Bath
Annie and Trevor appear groggy. Gloria walks right up to them and puts her face about two inches from their faces.
Gloria: Rise and shine! Mommy’s here to wake you!
Trevor backs into a corner. Annie screams through the gag. DR. laughs. Robert holds the knife above Annie’s heart.
Robert: Do you want me to do it?
Gloria: Not yet. We have some fanciful stuff to talk to these two about. Besides I told you to kill her already and you didn’t, so might as well wait now.
Robert: Fuck waiting.
He slams the knife down. Annie has moved at the opportune time and he slices through her hand ties. She does a roll and rolls out from under the lumbering, fat Robert. Her legs are still tied and she has a gag on. Everyone watches intently. Annie hops up onto her feet –many years of gymnastics helped with this- and makes her way into a corner of the basement lab room.
Gloria: Get her! I said, Get her! Or I’ll get you!
Robert: I’m trying.
DR. G stands up. He pulls a pistol out of the desk. Meanwhile Trevor has managed to get the gag off. Nobody is watching him. Gloria starts unbuttoning her blouse. There are footsteps approaching outside the door.
Gloria: Get the door!
DR. G runs over to the door and pushes it closed just as it starts to open. Annie hops over to where DR. G is and grabs his mid-section and starts to pull on him to allow the door to open.
Robert: What should I do? What should I do?
Gloria: Can’t you get a kid down in the dirt? Can’t you?
She starts to unbutton her blouse. Trevor uses his teeth to untie his hands. Then he works on his feet. Robert stabs a few times trying to hit her, but misses. Annie uses DR. G as an anchor and then jumps up with her legs and kicks Robert across the room. He hits Gloria and she flies backwards hitting Trevor who is free. Annie notices the pistol sticking out of G’s pants and grabs it. She points it on Gloria and Robert. DR G grabs her from behind and the gun goes off. The door flies open and pushes DR G to the floor. Robert has been grazed in the ear. Blood spurts out. He screams. Annie steps to the side. Trevor buttons his mother’s blouse.
Trevor: Don’t even think about using those sick teetons!
Outside the door, three people walk in. Belle Peabody, and her two henchmen. They walk slowly unafraid and observe the room. Blood and bodies litter it everywhere.
Belle: Well, Well, well, Gloria. I should have known it was you. Put the gun down, child.
Annie: (shouting) NO!
Belle: They taught you well in that rape class. Now put the gun down.
Belle waves her arm and magically, Annie drops the gun.
Annie: What the-
When the gun hits the ground, it shoots and grazes Robert’s leg. He screams again and blood comes from a new wound.
Belle: What do you have to say for yourself, Gloria?
Gloria: Nothing, Belle Peabody. Nothing at all. What did you come to tell me? Or do to me?
Belle: Oh, nothing. I came down here to congratulate you on a job well done. It’s only taken you fifteen years to produce this movie and now it’s about done. I want the reels to the film.
Trevor: You are to say nothing about the people she’s killed?
Belle: What people?
Silence. Bloody bodies litter the place.
Belle: I’m concerned with movies, Trevor. Where are the reels to the film?
Gloria: Yes, where are they?
Trevor: I will give them to you on one condition.
Gloria/Belle: What’s that?
Trevor: You let me and Annie go.
Gloria: No!
Belle: Yes. You must go, go now. Please leave. I trust you will find your way out of here and then you will leave the reels of film in an undisclosed location. If not, we will kill you.
Annie and Trevor run out of the lab unscathed.
DR: Why did you do that?
Robert: Those fucking kids-
Belle: Calm yourselves. There are others associated with this project who have not been killed yet. One Jonathan Brewster, Curtis Falco, and a certain league of women voters who have to be hunted down and killed. When this film is released, we want nobody talking about it. . .or I’m not Belle Peabody. Come along. (pause, turns back for a second) And Gloria, I leave all of that up to you. Congratulations on becoming the new President of Femjina Inc.
Gloria: But you’re still in charge, how can I be the master of all?
Belle: Masters always have to answer to someone. And don’t you forget it.
She and her guards exit.
Gloria: Don’t worry, my men, once they are dead, she will be dead too.
The three of them laugh.
Gloria: Rise and shine! Mommy’s here to wake you!
Trevor backs into a corner. Annie screams through the gag. DR. laughs. Robert holds the knife above Annie’s heart.

Off stage screams can be heard in random order. There is much rustling and then dragging sounds from stage right. Dr G is seated at the desk and Gloria is pacing the room looking for things in the air to bring more light to the subject. The sounds of dragging become closer then stop as the lights come up on the doctor and Gloria in the room. Gloria paces and mutters to herself when she is not answering the doctor.
Gloria: (muttered) in the plan yes yes it was all in the plan and now…
Dr. G: lovely?
Gloria: Not now you twit
Dr. G: Well dear I just think we should talk about this, there are so many possibilities
Gloria: yes I know there are so many possibilities do you take me for a commoner?
Dr. G: Well, no
Gloria: good then don’t ask me stupid questions that I already know (continues to pace)
Dr. G: I just want to know what you think we are going to do with all these bodies and then all the people who are going to rally outside and then maybe about Robert who is out to kill Trevor because he is deeply in love with you, which I don’t get. I don’t really get that at all I mean was there something between you two?
Gloria: you already know the answer to that
Dr. G: yes I know you have told me that you shared a bed and nothing more. But my thoughts have been thinking that there was something more. That you are Robert were-
Gloria: (Enraged) not another word out of your mouth or I will have you silenced forever. Do you read me? are you catching this? Because doctor this is big- (his face turns green) what? What is that smell?(she turns to find Robert in the doorway)
Robert: no no no young Glorit my darling. Not another word of our secrets together. Not another thing or it will ruin everything. I mean you have ruined most of it already. Now sit down or I will have my hunting knife sit you down for you. (Gloria sits) now, I brought someone that I think you might want to see again. I think you remember this man. But first I want to bring in your son- well one of your sons. (Trevor is dragged in by his feet he is bound and gagged and unconscious.) Oh he will be fine. Give the boy some room. (Then he brings in Annie who is also bound and gagged and unconcious) and what would one child be without the other child. Dr. G looks at Gloria.
Dr G: other child?
Robert: DON’T INTERUPT ME I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE INTERUPT me. yes darling Annie is one of Gloria’s children. Oh you didn’t know? She fathered or should I say mothered an army.
Gloria: An army is really an exaggeration
Robert: NO it isn’t. really I just wanted some more love. The kind of love that you used to give me. the kind of love that we had when we started out-
Gloria: that kind of love doesn’t exist anymore. That kind of love is drained from us. We are no longer an us anymore. We are no longer the army that we talked about. That dream is gone from-Robert: well it doesn’t need to be gone you know that. You can still love me I can change- (Trevor and Annie start to wake up)
Gloria: (muttered) in the plan yes yes it was all in the plan and now…
Dr. G: lovely?
Gloria: Not now you twit
Dr. G: Well dear I just think we should talk about this, there are so many possibilities
Gloria: yes I know there are so many possibilities do you take me for a commoner?
