Scene 5
SETTING: Willie’s house. Ginny, Shannon, Mike, Peter and
Willie were celebrating that they could come back from
the City of Technos. They stayed at the party until 4am.
When they were living, they saw a box in front of the
door.
Willie: What’s this?
Ginny: Go and check who left this here.
Willie: Ok…
Shannon: I wish nothing bad will happen…
Willie: (Afraid)… Nobody is outside. Let’s see what is
inside the box.
Mike: Sure? I think we shouldn’t open it. We don’t
know if it is something bad. (Shouting)Now call the
police.
Ginny: (Touching Mike’s shoulders) Stop Mike, nothing
bad is going to happen.
Peter: Wait there is a note (Pointing at the note).
Read it.
Willie: (He takes the note) It says:
4. 4
Dear Science Club,
We admire all your works. The
investigation you did last year was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. To
show that we appreciate what you do, here you have
a present. Open the box and see…
Your Fans Club
Shannon: I think that’s not a good idea.
(Frightening)Better throw it away.
Mike: No, let see what is inside the box. It’s a present
from OUR FANS!!.
Ginny: Yes, come on. (Opening the box) Oh my god! I
can’t believe it!!
All: What it’s inside? Right now tell us!
Ginny: (In a loud voice) It’s a DUCK!!
Mike: Oh my god I love ducks.
Shannon: Yes! (Looking at the
duck) Ducks are adorable!!!!
Peter: Will we keep it? If we
keep it, we will have to take care of him… or her.
5. 5
Willie: Of course we are not going to keep it. If my
mother notices this, she will kill me.
Mother: Willie where are you? Are you awake? Come
here please.
Willie: Oh no! (Desperate) What I am going to say?
Ginny: Just say you were taking a glass of water.
Willie: Ok (Willie went out).
Ginny: I have to say something, but I will wait until
Willie comes back. (Willie comes back). Oh Willie, did
she believed you?
Willie: (Happily) Yes, yes.
Ginny: I was going to said something. We will have to
take this duck to the veterinary, to know if it is ill, and
if it’s she or he.
Shannon: (Yawning)Now it’s late, tomorrow we will
go. See you tomorrow!
All: Bye! See you tomorrow.
(Everyone went to their houses, off stage. Willie
immediately enters inside his house. Then he goes inside
his bedroom, jump into his bed, and sleep)
(Next day in the morning everyone was waiting, at the
Coffee Shop, to take the duck to the veterinary).
6. 6
Ginny: Hello everyone. Willie how did you stayed with
the duck all night? Did you hide it? (Looking at Willie
with an angry face) Tell me that your mother didn’t
find it and that she doesn’t suspect!
Willie: Yes I live it inside the box. It didn’t bother in
all the night.
Mike: Good, so where is the duck?
Willie: It is in my room, come on follow me.
All: Ok, there we go.
Willie: Here it is. I think it isn’t ill.
Ginny: Yes, but take it to the veterinary to be sure.
(They walk some meters, and arrive to the veterinary.
They go inside)
Willie: Hi, is here any doctor available?
Dr. Robert: Yes. My name is Dr. Robert, I can help
you. What do you need? Do you want me to take a
look at your duck?
Willie: Well yes, but is not exactly my duck. What
really happened is that we were at a party
celebrating; and when my friends were going to their
houses, we opened the door and we found a box.
(Smiling) When we opened it there was a duck inside.
7. 7
Dr. Robert: (Unconvinced) Ok…. It was a bit
strange but well I will examine it. I will examine if it is
in good conditions. I will tell you too if he is a female
or a male. Please follow me.
Dr. Robert: I can see that this duck is a female,
and it is in very good conditions. She isn’t ill. You can
take her with you. Please be responsible and give her
the correct food and a nice place to sleep.
All: Thank you very much Doctor. Goodbye.
(They started walking back home. When they arrived
there was another box in the door of Willie’s house).
Ginny: Another box? Is this a
joke? (Complaining. Then she took
the box). Another box with the
same note. (Opening the box)
ANOTHER DUCK!
Shannon: We just came from
the veterinary and we have to go
again?
Willie: No, wait, I will check. (After checking) It’s a
boy. Why didn’t we do this with the other duck too
instead of going to the veterinary?
Ginny: (Peevishly) We are so stupid!!
8. 8
Mike: Calm down Ginny. Now, who is going to keep
both ducks? Willie…?
Willie: Of course no. Again me? (Begging) Please
select another one, we are five members.
Shannon: (Trying to convince Willie) Please!! You
already have a special place for them.
Peter: Yes that’s right!
Ginny: Come on guys Willie is going to keep them.
(Everyone go down stage)
(Next day. Willie’s mother woke up and gave to Willie a
letter.)
Mother: Willie somebody left a letter for you this
morning (Giving the letter to him).
Willie: Thanks mother. (Once his mother went out of
the room, he started reading it). It said:
Dear Science Club,
Thank you for receiving the boxes with ducks we
sent you. The ducks were spies, they had secret
cameras. Now that we know what you do every day…
be prepared because we are going to take revenge.
See you soon,
S.T
9. 9
(Willie immediately dressed up and called the science
club members to meet at the playground. Everybody
was afraid because of the desperation of Willie’s voice.
Some minutes later, they were all together at the
playground).
Peter: What’s wrong Willie?
Willie: Everyone now, read this note that I received
this morning.
Mike: Oh my god! (Crying) We are going to die!!!
Ginny: I always try to keep calm… but this time we
have to make a plan!!
Shannon: We are responsible of a future war!!! We
have to stop it, if not the earth is going to be a
disaster.
Willie: No. I am the responsible, I ordered the
amplifier. This is my fight and I have to think for a
plan.
All: Yes! Please!
Willie: (Thinking) Mmm… I have one! We can send
back a letter, to the Supreme Technocrat, according a
special place to meet, so that only that place is
involved in this war. What do you think?
10. 10
Peter: Yes. But where? And how the fight will be
like?
Willie: Yes, you are right. It’s absurd. Well I will send
him back a letter but saying something else…
Mike: There is something that I don’t understand
since this began.
Willie: What?
Mike: How letters are sent and received?
Willie: Letters are sent by a kind of channel or
something like that. Yes it’s strange, I know how
because I heard it when we were at the City of
Technos.
Mike: Now I understand. Well go and write it.
(Willie went back home. He started thinking how he
could stop this war. Maybe just talking, or fighting. Finally
he started writing a letter)
Dear Supreme Technocrat,
We don’t want war; we just escaped because
we wanted to go back home. Our home is in the
earth, not in the City of Technos. There in Technos
people are slaves, there is no freedom; it’s obviously
that everyone will want to escape. Please think about
it, try to understand this people. Think what you will
do if you were a prisoner there. Please let that people
11. 11
come back home. If you do that think that you will too
live with freedom; because giving orders all day long
is very exhausting. So if they are free, you will be
relax.
Hope you let them free, and cancel the war,
Willie
Willie: (Talking to the members of the Science Club on
the phone) Guys I already sent, to the Supreme
Technocrat, the letter. I mentioned everything, so
that he thinks of it. I hope he understands.
Ginny: (Angrily) Better hope he doesn’t prepared
everything to attack yet, because he won’t cancel
everything.
Peter: Ginny, please, try not to be pessimistic.
Mike: Peter, please, try not to fight.
Peter: You are fighting!!
Shannon: Stop!
(Everyone go down stage. Next day when Willie woke
up, he received a letter. Supreme Technocrat had
answered. He took it and put it inside his bag. Again
Willie calls his friends and accord to meet at the
playground).
12. 12
Willie: Hello friends. This morning I received the
answer of the Supreme Technocrat.
Peter: And…? What did the letter say?
Willie: I didn’t read it yet.
Ginny: Why? Where is it?
Shannon: Did you throw it away?
Ginny: If you did that I kill you right now!
Willie: Girls, relax. I didn’t say that, did I?
Mike: He didn’t, girls.
Shannon: So? What did you do?
Willie: I was waiting to read it all together. But wait;
first I want to tell you something. If the answer is
something bad, I won’t know what to do. We will have
to notice this to the entire world. Well the come on
(After breathing deeply, he oppened the letter) It says:
Dear Willie,
I am a person too, but hiding behind a computer. I
really don’t absorb minds, I just simulate to and then
pay to people to live and work there. They only work
when more people is coming, if not they had free
time. That’s the truth; people live happily, but far
away from their families. I had an idea. I will create
different villages in the earth. They will be modern.
13. 13
People that lived in Technos will choose to live in the
new villages or go back to their homes. Thank you for
making me reflex.
Love,
Marqus Perxa
Mike: So…is this the end? Isn’t he going to attack?
Willie: Yes, this is the end. Finally yes!
All: (They looked each other and shouted) Yahoo!!
Peter: We resolved everything
together! As a group working together!
Now we will have to celebrate again!
Don’t we?
All: Yes! (Everyone started laughing.
Quickly, curtain closes).
