ANCESTORS DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO

MAL OK, Lucas - enough is enough. Gimme the map.

ALICE I don't see any houses.

MAL Because there aren't any, Alice. We're in the middle of some godforsaken park.

ALICE Central Park, dear.

(guidebook) "Designed in 1857 by - "

LUCAS Wait!

MAL & ALICE What?

LUCAS I know where we are! It's where I first saw her! I was lost in the park and a pigeon dropped at my feet with an arrow in it! And I looked up and there she was - Wednesday, with a crossbow.

MAL A what?

27

LUCAS A crossbow. You know.

MAL This girl walks around with a crossbow?

LUCAS It's OK dad, she has a permit.

MAL Good. Good choice son. Ok, listen up. Now here's what's going to happen. We're going back to the hotel. And you and I are gonna have a little talk.

ALICE Be patient with him, dear.

(rhyming) "A father should support his son. And Lucas is your only one."

MAL (to Lucas)

See what you did? Your mother's rhyming again. Let's get back to the hotel and then –

LUCAS (cutting him off)

No! ONE NORMAL NIGHT NO, NOT ONE POEM NOT ONE INSPIRING WORD ONE NORMAL SCENE COMPLETE ROUTINE TONIGHT CAN'T BE ABSURD PLEASE DON'T EMBARRASS ME OR BE COMPLETELY RUDE DON'T MAKE A FUSS ABOUT THE HOUSE ABOUT THE FOOD WHOA! ONE NORMAL NIGHT I KNOW IT'S BIG BUT CAN'T YOU SEE THIS ONE NORMAL NIGHT IS FOR ME! COME ON!

(LUCAS exits)

43

SCENE 6

(SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE HOUSE) (WEDNESDAY enters, pursued by LUCAS.)

LUCAS

You realize they're gonna freak when we tell them?

WEDNESDAY My father won't.

LUCAS Why not?

WEDNESDAY I already told him.

LUCAS What? You told your father? Your father, with the sword? You told him we were getting married, just like that?

WEDNESDAY He's totally cool with it. Mostly.

LUCAS I thought we were gonna tell them all together!

WEDNESDAY We need his help. You don't know my mother. She could really screw it up.

LUCAS

I'm not marrying your mother.

WEDNESDAY I know. Look - it might seem old fashioned, but I want their blessing.

LUCAS You're right, it is old fashioned.

WEDNESDAY Lucas, do you love me?

LUCAS Of course.

44

WEDNESDAY Then leave it to me. It's all going according to plan.

LUCAS What plan? There's no plan!

WEDNESDAY That's the plan. Improvise. Keep 'em guessing.

LUCAS You're really crazy.

WEDNESDAY You say that like it's a bad thing. It's just a simple dinner. What could go wrong? Come on.

(She leads him off. FESTER and ANCESTORS appear again. The kids' love has won over the ANCESTORS.)

FESTER Aww.

#8A BUT LOVE REPRISE 2

BE PATIENT AND SOON THE WAY WILL BE CLEAR FOCUS YOUR FEAR AND TROUBLES ALL WILL DISAPPEAR LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT ANYTHING OLD

ANCESTORS PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US OUT IN THE COLD

FESTER LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BUT LOVE

ANCESTORS BUT LOVE

FESTER BUT LOVE

ACT TWO SCENE 1

(OUTSIDE THE HOUSE)

#15 OPENING ACT II

(TASSEL and IT have a flirtation and run off. FESTER opens the curtain and closes the gate. WEDNESDAY enters, with suitcase and crossbow, pursued by LUCAS. The ANCESTORS observe this.) [MUSIC STOPS]

LUCAS Wait, wait! We have to talk this over for a minute.

WEDNESDAY Talk what over?

LUCAS We can't just run away and get married. You said it was important that everyone got along.

WEDNESDAY And you said it didn't matter!

LUCAS Yeah, but they wanna kill each other! You want that hanging over our heads?

WEDNESDAY Boy, you sound just like your father. The root doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

LUCAS What?

WEDNESDAY Forget it.

LUCAS The apple. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

WEDNESDAY God, you're annoying.

77

LUCAS You know what I think? You don't really wanna get married. You just said that to stick it to your mother.

WEDNESDAY Don't psychoanalyze me, Lucas. It's a deep dark hole and you don't wanna go there. Come on.

LUCAS What'll we do for money?

WEDNESDAY Stop being so scared of everything.

ANCESTORS Yeah.

LUCAS Right, like you're not scared.

WEDNESDAY I eat scared for breakfast, honey.

ANCESTORS Yeah.

LUCAS Let's go back in the house and make some rational decisions.

ANCESTORS No.

WEDNESDAY I don't want rational decisions! I want dangerous, impulsive, crazy decisions!

ANCESTORS Yeah.

WEDNESDAY Are you coming or not?

LUCAS Look - I - I can't run away like this. It's too crazy. I'm sorry.

78

WEDNESDAY Not as sorry as you're gonna be when you wake up and you're forty-six and working for your father!

(ANCESTORS gesture to respond, but WEDNESDAY cuts them off. She storms away. LUCAS calls after her.)

LUCAS

I can be impulsive! I just need to think about it first!

[MUSIC IN]

(LUCAS, all indecision, exits back to the house. FESTER enters.)

ANCESTORS

AH, AH, AH, AH, AH!

FESTER There you are: Secrets exposed. Marriages threatened. Delicious anarchy. What happens now? Can this be repaired? Or do you all leave in an hour feeling vaguely depressed? Let's find out, shall we?

(FESTER parts the gates, revealing--)
