SEQUENCE 2_10 - "MEET THE YOOKOOHOO"

2_10_01 TIN WOODMAN 180-02 Oh my

2_10_02 INT. GOLDEN CHAMBER In the center of the CHAMBER is a huge table, at which sits MRS. YOOP. She has her back toward them and does not turn around. She is turning the pages by simply motioning her hand.

MRS. YOOP (menacing) 181 You’re causing a draft... And I shall catch cold... And sneeze.

2_10_04 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT tremble. They look around. There’s no way out. There are shadows moving on the walls.

MRS. YOOP 181-01 And when I sneeze, I become cross… Very, very nasty.

2_10_06 MRS. YOOP

     And when I become cross, I’m liable to do something… wicked! (chuckles) Mmmm. Come in, you foolish strangers. Come in!

2_10_08 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT run, screaming in fright.

2_10_09 MRS. YOOP points a finger at a fireplace SCREEN which becomes a fence surrounding them.

2_10_10 WOOT, TIN WOODMAN, and SCARECROW cower behind the SCREEN.

2_10_11 MRS. YOOP (chuckling) 181-02 What have we here…?

2_10_12 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT shrink back as MRS. YOOP bends close to examine them.

2_10_13 MRS. YOOP changes size, shape and appearance at whim.

MRS. YOOP 181-03 Speak!!!

2_10_14 The CHAMBER reverberates with the sound of MRS. YOOP'S voice. TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT fall to the ground, almost insensible with terror.

2_10_15 When the echoes have died away, SCARECROW raises his head, terrified.

SCARECROW 183 W-we d-didn’t know anyone l-lived here, M-Madam, s-so, b-being travelers and strangers in these p-parts, and w-w-wishing to find a p-place for our young c-companion to s-sleep—w-we v-ventured t-to enter your lovely c-c-astle.

2_10_16 MRS. YOOP crouches above, leers.

MRS. YOOP 184 You have found much more than you bargained for!!!

2_10_17 OS: Mrs. Yoop laughing. TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT bury their faces in their hands, shaking.

2_10_18 MRS. YOOP walks around the cowering TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT: sometimes huge and horrible, other times normal and motherly-looking.

2_10_19 WOOT peeks between his fingers.

WOOT (fearful) 185 A-a-are you a w-w-witch?

2_10_20 MRS. YOOP 185-01 Witch?! Witch!!! Why, I Witch this!

2_10_21 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT cringe in terror as all manner of foul ENTITIES surround them.

2_10_23 MRS. YOOP laughs pleasantly.

MRS. YOOP 186 More- an artist of transformation. A Yookoohoo. Much more clever than a witch.

2_10_24 MRS. YOOP shrinks down, suddenly holding a plate of cookies. She offers them to her guests.

MRS. YOOP Perhaps you’ve heard of me… Mrs. Yoop?

2_10_26 SCARECROW 187 A-are w-we to c-consider you our f-friend, M-M-Mrs. Yoop?

2_10_27 MRS. YOOP 188 I never have friends—

MRS. YOOP again turns into a giant—but quickly becomes normal again.

MRS. YOOP 188-01 Eh, uh Well Ah.. I, I am glad you’ve come, dearies, for my life here is rather lonely. I’ve had no one… to talk to.

2_10_27a 0000-0038 Zoom into MRS. YOOP's EYES.

Bunny playing drum.

2_10_27b 0039-0294 Transition into Mrs. Yoop, dressed in skirt, dancing with bunnys in top hats..

2_10_27c 0295-0556 MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop,
     And I'm lonely,
     I am lonely since they put my man away,

2_10_27d 0557-0818 COWJOHN in a cage hanging from a rope that drops down from ceiling. MRS. YOOP reaches through cage bars and pats his head.

MRS. YOOP

     Ozma put him in a cage,

Minature OZMA TOY appears in MRS. YOOP's hand.

MRS. YOOP

     But Someday she'll feel my rage,

MRS. YOOP squeezes OZMA TOY in her hand.

2_10_27e 0819-1080 MRS. YOOP

     I just want someone to play with.

TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT, seated on the floor, look at each other, frightened.

MRS. YOOP kneels down in front of TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT, scooping them up in her hands.

2_10_27f 1081-1342 MRS. YOOP stands (costume change) holding TIN WOODMAN and WOOT in one hand and SCARECROW in the other.

MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop
     And I'm lonely,
     For my husband, the giant, Mr. Yoop.

MRS. YOOP hugs TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT tightly to her bosum.

2_10_27g 1343-1604 MRS. YOOP throws TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT over her shoulder.

MRS. YOOP

     Don't call me a witch,
     And don't you think that I'm a gritch, 

MRS. YOOP dances with DEMONS.

2_10_27h 1605-1866 MRS. YOOP

     This is me and my way.

2_10_27i 1867-2128 MRS. YOOP costume change.

MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop,
     And I'm lonely,
     Because I'm a Yookoohoo,

2_10_27j 2129-2390 MRS. YOOP stands in front of TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT.

MRS. YOOP

     Changing things is what I do,
     And I will change you too,

2_10_27k 2391-2652 MRS. YOOP

     No matter what you might say.

2_10_27l 2653-2914 MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop,
     And I'm lonely,
     I 've been cooped up in this castle all day.

2_10_27m 2915-3176 MRS. YOOP

     Won't you be my friends?
     Until the time comes it ends,

2_10_27n 3177-3438 MRS. YOOP

     I have no one here to play with.

2_10_27o 3439-3700 MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop,
     And I'm lonely,
     But I won't be, 
     I won't be for that long.

2_10_27p 3701-3962 MRS. YOOP

     You'll be the company I need,
     to satisfy all my greed,

2_10_27q 3963-4224 MRS. YOOP

     Until Mr. Yoop comes home one day.

2_10_27r 4225-4500 MRS. YOOP does one last ballet turn.

2_10_28 SCARECROW 189 Uh… Love to talk But w-w-w-w-e c-c-can't stay long…

2_10_29 MRS. YOOP 190 Oh, but I disagree.

MRS. YOOP becomes huge again. As she speaks she picks WOOT up in the palm of her gigantic hand.

MRS. YOOP 190-01 I mean to keep you here as long as I live, to amuse me when I get lonely To keep me company

2_10_30 TIN WOODMAN 191 T-t-t-that is outrageous… d-d-do you k-k-know, ma’am, who we a-a-are?

2_10_31 MRS. YOOP is once again a normal, homey-looking mother-type.

MRS. YOOP 192 Mmmmm… Well, lets see a straw man… a tin man… and a meat boy…

TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT shrink back as her baleful eye falls upon them.

2_10_33 MRS. YOOP 192-01 How unstimulating you are. So plain I know- I will change you all into new forms… formsss farrr moreee interesting….

2_10_34 SCARECROW 193 Y-y-you.. you can’t d-do that! You We We’re very important p-p-eople

2_10_35 MRS. YOOP is huge again. TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT huddle together in terror.

MRS. YOOP 194 So much the better! I shall enjoy you all the more!

2_10_36 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT stare up in terror at MRS. YOOP.

MRS. YOOP 195 Meet bravely what you cannot avoid

MRS. YOOP turns to TIN WOODMAN.

2_10_38 TIN WOODMAN S-s-stay away from me

MRS. YOOP points an enormous, gnarled finger at TIN WOODMAN. A maelstrom of terrifying ENERGY transforms TIN WOODMAN transforms TIN OWL.

TIN OWL hoots in despair.

2_10_39 MRS. YOOP’S baleful eye fixes on him.

2_10_40 TIN OWL flies to the back of a chair and perches upon it, his tin feathers rattle against one another in a tinny chatter.

2_10_41 SCARECROW attempts to assume a commanding posture. WOOT hides behind him.

SCARECROW 197 Eh Eh Eh N-n-now s-s-see here, m-m-madam, I c-c-consider this action very impolite…. it may even be called rude

2_10_41b SCARECROW C-c-considering we are your g-g-guests…

2_10_42 MRS. YOOP 198 Guests, straw man… At whose invitation?

MRS. YOOP opens her immense mouth in a hideous laugh.

2_10_43 SCARECROW shudders violently.

SCARECROW Look I I've got a f-f-few Em Uh, ah Oh

In a maelstrom of energy, SCARECROW changes into STRAW BEAR.

2_10_44 STRAW BEAR shuffles awkwardly across the floor, whimpering.

STRAW BEAR (confused) Eh I don't like this I don't like this at all No This isn't right This isn't right at all No, Wrong

2_10_47 WOOT trembles in terror as MRS. YOOP tussles his hair. MRS. YOOP assumes a grotesquely innocent air as she studies the terrified WOOT.

MRS. YOOP 198-01 Ah Now What to do with you, little cuddle-kins? I have something very, very special in mind for you.

2_10_50 MRS. YOOP wiggles her fingers.

2_10_51 WOOT, in a flash of energy, becomes GREEN MONKEY.

2_10_52 MRS. YOOP laughs hideously

2_10_53 GREEN MONKEY chatters as he bounds to the seat of a giant chair, and then to its back.

MRS. YOOP’S maniacal laughter echoes through the castle.

2_10_54 MRS. YOOP Yes I do believe (cackles) Perrrrrfect.

TIN OWL, BEAR and GREEN MONKEY cringe as MRS. YOOP looms above them. She looms over each in turn, then she shrinks back down to near-human proportions, and yawns.

MRS. YOOP 201 Oh Such a day Such a day Well, enjoy yourselves, my pets. We’ll play again… very soon.

2_10_56 MRS. YOOP faces DOOR.

MRS. YOOP 202 Open!

DOOR bursts open with a bang, and MRS. YOOP hobbles out.

2_10_57 DOOR closes.
