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.

2_10_03 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_25 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT look at each other, scared witless, unwilling to admit they haven’t.

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 -YOOP SONG-

Zoom into Mrs. Yoop's eyes.

Bunny playing drum, transition into Mrs. Yoop, dressed in skirt, dancing with bunnys in top hats..

MRS. YOOP

     I am Mrs. Yoop,
     And I'm lonely,
     Ozma put him in a cage,

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

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.

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.

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,

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

MRS. YOOP

     For my husband, the giant, Mr. Yoop,

MRS. YOOP throws TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW and WOOT over her shoulder.

MRS. YOOP

     Don't call me a witch,

MRS. YOOP dances with DEMONS.

MRS. YOOP

     And don't you think that I'm a gritch, 

(Yoop dancing sultry turning movements, pouty expression, lots of shoulder action )

MRS. YOOP

     This is me and my way.

MRS. YOOP costume change.

MRS. YOOP

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

(camera looking down from extreme angle closeup to YoopPathetic face with arms outstretched towards the heavens - wailing - MTV video wide angle face distortion type camera, we see TM,Woot,SC below at her feet still on alter)

2128-2390 Changing things is what I do, And I will change you too, (Camera still high, Yoop(becoming EVIL) lowers her head to look at TM, SC, Woot - picks up TM, camera follows down to closeup of TM being held in hand )

2390-2652 No matter what you might say. (still closeup of hand - squash, crunch TM into ball with fist, both hands, camera follows to see YoopEVIL shakes fist next to ear as if to hear a rattle - then opens fist, tosses behind her nonchalantly with a bored disinterested look, the crumpled thing that turns into OWL that camera follows to register frantic look on OWL face, as he is flapping wings crazily to get away)-________________________________________________________________________ 4th verse - Transforms SCARECROW into SCAREBEAR needs to happen: Scarecrow gets transformed into Scarebear in a funny way & Scarebear then needs to go & do something

2652-2914 I am Mrs. Yoop, And I'm lonely, (camera looking down friom high at Yoop(in baby clothes? undies?) down on floor on her back having a tantrum - kicking legs , camera swirling in a spiral as it gets closer to Yoop)

I 've been cooped up in this castle all day, (cut to still camera shows Mrs Yoop as Queen Victoria on throne, Servant Rabbit by her side, with table next to her with SC & Woot in a teacup? Picks up teacup?

2914-3176 Won't you be my friends? ( In a standing position, YoopSWEET (schoolgirl?) picks up SC from teacup, playfully swings SC back and forth holding him by the arms, swings him around her head, in a dance move)

Until the time comes it ends, (YoopEVIL tango lady brings SC close to face in a tango move, gives him a big slobby evil grin kissy on the lips after delivering her line)

3176-3438 I have no one here to play with. (SC is shaking off the kiss, responding to her breath, when Yoop - dancing all the while - opens wide, then plops him into her mouth, closes her mouth, sloshes him around as if gargling, them spits him into a spittoon as Scarebear, camera moves to spittoon to see SB emerge a big slimy mess who is really disgusted and icked by the whole experience as he tries to climb out of spittoon)

___________________________________________________________________________________ 5th verse - Starts to Pick on WOOT in prep for his transformation needs to happen: need to build tension for the eventual transformation of Woot, while torturing him some with anticipation

3438-3700 I am Mrs. Yoop, And I'm lonely, (Camera back to YoopSweet pink sequined pussycat pouty flirty posing type motions on Pink Rug or pole dancing with a scratching post?)

But I won't be, I won't be for that long, (CloseUP YoopEvil Panther face - hands show long nails, picks up Woot by legs upside down)

3700-3962 You'll be the company I need, (back to YoopSweet pussycat - brings Woot close to face and talks to him in profile - he's still upside down )

to satisfy all my greed, (YoopPanther turns to camera (now acting as if a new idea has just occurred to her) - Woot still struggling, she unconsciously lets go as she gestures with the hand holding Woot, which causes Woot to drop headfirst, out of sight of the frame)

3962-4224 Until Mr. Yoop comes home one day. (Full shot of YoopBridezilla in White scene - gestures grandly with bouquet, white tux, tails,tophat clad Bunnies (maybe cupid bunnies swirling around as well) join her walking in processional bump & grind motions on both sides of her and lead her up grand stairs? to a bridal bed? swinging moon? flowers and heart sprites galore making heart shapes & firework patterns - as romantic blurry? Portrait/statue of Mr Yoop emerges in background as part of top of wedding cake) ________________________________________________________________________ Ending Ballet needs to happen: transition back to Golden Chamber set, and setup Woot & Yoop in preparation for Woot's eventual transformation

4224-4500 TwinkleToes Music plays YoopSWEET in dainty pink tutu dances gleefully, gracefully up to and around Woot with great anticipation of what she will do to him, sprinkling fairy dust, smiling sweetly, maybe trying to use him as a partner for a pas de deux ?. Woot is shaking, nervous, fearful, frozen (with eyes that look like he is trying to hide, runaway) In a puff of pink sicky smoke - Set is magically transformed back to the old chamber

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…

2_10_32 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_55 MRS. YOOP cackles madly. Still laughing, she faces the DOOR.

MRS. YOOP 202 Open!

2_10_56 The DOOR bursts open with a bang, and MRS. YOOP hobbles out then the DOOR closes.
