Scene C
FADE IN.
INT. BEDROOM-DAY
(BUCKY BUTLER, SPOTTY, THE WISE WIZARD)
THE WISE WIZARD
Where the heck am I?
Last I knew it, I was fighting a
dragon alongside the other warriors
and (SEES SPOTTY) oh great it’s you.
SPOTTY
Hey, Wise Wizard!
Just telling Dad about the whole,
think
of a character and he’ll appear
thing!
THE WISE WIZARD
Then why did Dad pick me?
BUCKY BUTLER
Sorry, Wise Wizard, but I have some
questions
about this whole thing that I think
Spotty
might not be able to answer for me.
THE WISE WIZARD
I guess, ask away father!
BUCKY BUTLER
Do you and the rest of my characters
think of me as your father?
THE WISE WIZARD
You gave us life, thus you are our
father.
BUCKY BUTLER
Why was Spotty chosen to be my aide
in
helping me write stories?
THE WISE WIZARD
He volunteered. And plus, we all
know he’s your
favorite child.
BUCKY BUTLER
But Wise Wizard, I love you, and all
of
my characters equally. I don’t have
favorites.
SPOTTY
Dude, we live in your head! We hear
your thoughts.
THE WISE WIZARD
Also you have some pretty dark
thoughts,
father. You need to talk to your
therapist
more.
BUCKY BUTLER
Okay, last question, am I crazy?
THE WISE WIZARD
No you’re not crazy. Now can I go,
please?
That dragon won’t slay itself.
BUCKY BUTLER
Okay sure, how do I make you go away
Wise
Wizard?
THE WISE WIZARD
Just stop thinking about me.
BUCKY BUTLER
But won’t that kill you, Wise Wizard?
If I just stop thinking about you?
Where would you go?
THE WISE WIZARD
No, I’ll just go back to being
inside your head. Plus, I
will also live on in your stories.
Which by the way when will I appear
in a new
book of yours anyway?
BUCKY BUTLER
And you’re gone!
THE WISE WIZARD DISAPPEARS
FROM THE SCENE IN A BEAM OF LIGHT AND SPOTTY PUTS HIS HAND ON BUCKY BUTLER’S
SHOULDERS.
SPOTTY
So you see, we’re always here to
help.
Now let’s work on writing that sketch.
BUCKY BUTLER
Actually, I just want to go eat
dinner now. I’m really hungry and my
Mom got us pizza—
SPOTTY
Say no more. Let’s go eat.
I mean I won’t because I’m not real
but you know what I mean.
BUCKY BUTLER
Are you sure my Mom won’t see you!
SPOTTY
For sure!
BUCKY BUTLER
Great now people will think I’m crazy
because
they think I’m just talking to myself.
SPOTTY
Actually no, you won’t appear to others to be
talking to yourself. This whole
conversation we
just had was just you thinking.
BUCKY BUTLER
So I’ve been thinking this whole time?
SPOTTY
Pretty much, it’s like a daydream.
But you will have an appearance of not
paying
much attention to others though.
BUCKY BUTLER
Basically how I live every day with
ADD.
SPOTTY
That’s my Dad. Now come on, I know how
much you want to eat that pizza.
How do you know…oh right you can hear
my
thoughts. That’s kind of creepy.
SPOTTY
I totally agree with you. Let’s go eat
that
pizza!
BUCKY BUTLER AND SPOTTY
EXIT THE BEDROOM TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME
FADE OUT.
