[After being dragged in by two men in white uniforms, a man stands before a room of straight-jacked men.
To protect the innocent, he will be referred to as "GEORGE."
( "THIRTEEN" is too much trouble to type. )]
ONE What did you do? I threw chickens out of a third-story laboratory window.
Unfortunately, they don't fly too well when hopped up on Viagra.
TWO The people with the wearing of the white...
the nice people don't believe I'm Jerry Lewis, flayvin!
GEORGE It all started with a simple Jury Duty notice.
I didn't think it would be so complicated...but those people...
they didn't believe me! I was right, I tell you!
FOUR [à la Christopher Walken] This jury...were they debating a murder trial?
GEORGE Yes!
FOUR And were they completely incompetent by your standards?
GEORGE Yes!
FOUR I thought so. You see... you see......
aaaaack...
[After making several types of gurgling noises, FOUR falls down,
then gets back up with a different facial expression.]
FOUR It's all my fault. Now we're all gonna die, here, out in the woods and...
[FOUR looks around frantically, then starts to run wildly
as he screams bloody murder]
FOUR What was that? Oh my god...the witch is here!
[FOUR continues to frantically scurry about, yelling madly.]
ONE Don't mind him. That's just movie scenes Murray.
GEORGE Doesn't anybody care about my story?
TWO It doesn't have any aliens or things with the space-like flayvin?
GEORGE [enraged] It's true, damnit!
[GEORGE's face begins to turn to a bright red.
GEORGE tries to calm down by counting down from ten under his breath.]
GEORGE [calmer] Okay, this is what happened...
[GEORGE explains what happened in the courtroom that day.
Afterwards, the room starts it own debate.
Just as before, everybody else agrees the defendant was not guilty.]
ONE I think he was innocent.
THREE Me too.
TWO [babbling] Well, the thing with he lady with the bifocals, WO-HOY-GEN!
FOUR He was not guilty. Definitely, definitely not guilty.
GEORGE [hollering at the top of his lungs]
WHy don't you understand? The kid is guilty!
AAAAAAGH! You're gonna make me cry!
TWELVE [cheerfully] Don't cry! Why is everyone so angry? Let's play 'Go Fish!'
ELEVEN [pushes TWELVE away and starts to talk to GEORGE]
ELEVEN Now, George...mind if I call you George? My friend Mike...
[points to TEN]...and I bet we can convince you to buy this...
I mean, change your mind! Now, this kid, the defendant...
you believe he sliced, diced, and made jullienne fries out of his own father?
GEORGE [puzzled] Nooo... I said he stabbed his father.
ELEVEN Well, what if I told you he was actually innocent...
GEORGE Huh?
ELEVEN But wait, there's more!
The father was actually killed by himself!
GEORGE What?!
ELEVEN Here's our very own mathematician to explain!
SIX [shows GEORGE a chalkboard with elaborate drawings and formulas]
Well, according to this cartesian plane that I've made,
with the x-axis representing west-east and
the y-axis representing north-south,
the slope formed by the two points, the passing el train and the old man,
and the y-intercept being the woman with the bifocals...
[rambles on as FIVE whispers into GEORGE's ear]
FIVE You are getting very sleepy, yada, yada, yada, cliché...
When I snap my fingers, and so forth...
GEORGE [closes his eyes and immediately falls asleep.
His body falls on the floor, after bouncing a few times.]
FIVE When you awaken, you will agree with everybody else.
[snaps is fingers]
GEORGE [wakes up]
Huh? What happened?
EIGHT [pausing periodically] You...are...now...with...us.
We...will...make...our...own...society...
Where...no...man...has...gone...before...
[gasps in horror as he stares at the plane made by SIX.
EIGHT notices SIX leaning against the chalkboard on a triangle resembling a wing.]
There's...a...man....on...the...wing...of...the...plane!!!
GEORGE Well, I agree that the kid is not guilty...
I don't know why...but a secret society? I don't know...
SEVEN [in a sinister voice, petting a cat on his lap]
If you join us, you can see my latest weapon,
a laser ray capable of instantaneous de-memorization!
FOUR Let me use that memory-messer-upper.
[dons rayban shades] I make this look cool.
NINE [whining] Where did you get that memory thing?
How did you get it past security? Where'd you get the cat?
How'd you put on sunglasses with your arms in a strait-jacket?
Why are we allowed to be near each other if we're dangers to ourselves and society?
Does this story even have a plot?
GEORGE I think we should get rid of NINE.
EIGHT We...will...if you...join...the...so...cie...ty.
GEORGE Well I suppose there's nothing else I can do...everyone is against me...
...again...I'm forced to agree with everyone else.
