ACT ONE
Scene B
FADE IN.
INT. BEDROOM-DAY
(BUCKY BUTLER, SPOTTY, THE WISE WIZARD)
SPOTTY IS WALKING
AROUND THE BEDROOM CHECKING OUT BUCKY BUTLER’S STUFF WHILE BUCKY BUTLER IS JUST STANDING IN SHOCK.
SPOTTY
Wow, nice room. Nice toys, good movies,
cool
posters. How old are you again?
BUCKY BUTLER
(SCREAMING) What is going on! You’re not
real
and I should know because I created you!
SPOTTY
Of
course I’m not real! Come on, a six foot,
talking and walking dog wearing a
necktie, really?
And yes, dad, you did create me.
BUCKY BUTLER
(FREAKING
OUT) Why did you just call me Dad? Spotty
you’re a talking cartoon dog and I’m a real human being! Plus, I’m still a
virgin!
SPOTTY
(SARCASTICALLY) Wow, you’re a virgin, shocker.
From a room filled with action figures and Disney DVDs, I totally
thought you would have gotten laid by now!
BUCKY BUTLER
(STARTING TO CALM DOWN A BIT) Just tell me
why you are here inside my room?
SPOTTY
Actually, I’m not inside your room. I’m inside your head. In fact you’re the only person who can see me!
BUCKY BUTLER
Oh great, now I have schizophrenia!
First I have Asperger syndrome and
then I have ADD—
SPOTTY
Don’t
worry, you don’t have schizophrenia! Your mind made me appear before you because
you needed my help.
BUCKY BUTLER
Your help with what and why you?
SPOTTY
With
your writing, Dad, duh! And why it’s me
who is helping you? Well, most of
your other characters were busy and don’t really care and—
BUCKY BUTLER
What do
you mean my other characters? I have other characters living
inside my head?
SPOTTY
Oh,
yeah, totally! Every character you’ve
ever created lives inside your head.
In fact,
think of a character you created
and
he’ll appear before you right now.
BUCKY BUTLER
So, any
character I created that comes to my mind will appear in my room with us right
now?
SPOTTY
Yeah,
but they might be pissed off if you
brought
them here for no reason. But again, if you think of one he’ll appear.
BUCKY BUTLER PAUSES FOR A BIT TO THINK
AND AFTER HE’S DONE THINKING THE
WISE WIZARD ENTERS THE SCENE COMING
OUT OF BUCKY’S BEDROOM CLOSET.
FADE OUT.
