You look nervous. You sure you're okay? Just take it easy. Breathe. Breathe. That's good. Don't think about the crowd okay? Think about... uh... think about that pretty dancer out there. Isn't she great? Maybe I can ask her to stand off to the side and you can just look at her instead of the audience.

Or imagine the crowd in their underwear. They say that works sometimes. Or imagine that dancer in her underwear. Sorry. I'll stop talking about the dancer.

I wonder if she's single.

Sorry, sorry. Okay, I'll focus. What were talking about? Hey! Don't be mad. Where are you going?! You can't leave. You're on next! Come back here!

One person monolougue this scene that happens takes place after the climax of the movie and this monologue paired with the scene it is with makes me emotional every time ;-;
Passing the torch is a rite of passage
that can take many forms.
But perhaps the least known
and most surprising
is the passing of a spyglass.
Dear reader, there are people in the
world who know no misery and woe,
and they take comfort in cheerful films
about twittering birds
and giggling elves.
There are people who know that
there's always a mystery to be solved,
and they take comfort in researching
and writing down
any important evidence.
But this story is not about such people.
This story is about the Baudelaires.
And they are the sort of people who
know that there's always something.
Something to invent, something to read,
something to bite and something to do
to make a sanctuary,
no matter how small.
And for this reason, I am happy to say,
the Baudelaires
were very fortunate indeed.

SHORT SELECTION FROM THE SCRIPT
BRENDA

Wait. How do I get to the Prince's castle?

HILDA

You can fly, teleport.

BRENDA

Actually, I'd prefer to walk.

HILDA

Walk?

BRENDA

Well, broom power is creating all kinds of pollution in the skies!

HILDA

We wouldn't have the colorful sunsets without pollution, my dear.

BRENDA

And teleporting could scare someone. I wouldn't want to appear in people's gardens and scare them.

HILDA

No, I suppose you wouldn't.

BRENDA

So if you could point the way by foot.

HILDA

Fine, just follow the brown brick road.

BRENDA

Follow the brown brick road?

(A bunch of little GNOMES do a can-can as the enter singing)

GNOMES

"Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick road."

HILDA

Oh, quiet you crazy Gnomes. Get out of here.

(HILDA throws one of her shoes at them and they scramble off stage)

BRENDA

But they were so cute.

GNOMES (off)

Thanks!

HILDA

Watch out for them. They're pests.

(GNOMES rush in)

GNOMES

We know you are but what are we.

HILDA

Excuse my while I go turn some gnomes to stone and stick them in somebody's yard.

GNOMES

Eeek!

(GNOMES run off as HILDA chases them)

BRENDA

Poor little guys. They don't look like pests at all. Okay, now she told me the way. So I just need to...

(GNOMES rush in)

GNOMES

"Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick road."

(HILDA rushes in and GNOMES run off with her exiting behind. BRENDA starts skipping along)

BRENDA

Follow the brown brick road. Follow the brown brick road.

GNOMES (off)

"Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the brown brick road."

HILDA (off)

Stop that!

(BRENDA skips along humming and then a WOLF appears. WOLF is dabbing his mouth with a small red cloak)

BRENDA

Oh, hello, there.

(WOLF hides red cloak behind his back)

WOLF

Oh!

BRENDA

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

WOLF

Little girls do that to me.

BRENDA

Little girls scare you?

WOLF

All the time.

BRENDA

Why is that?

WOLF

It's all that screaming. Little girls scream too much.

BRENDA

I won't.

WOLF

You sure? I am scary.

(Makes scary arm motion)

Grrr.

BRENDA

That wasn't too scary.

WOLF

The last little girl thought so. Scared her so bad she dropped this.

(Holds out red cloak)

BRENDA

Poor thing. I bet she will get cold without it.

WOLF

I didn't think of that. But she ran so fast I doubt we'll catch her.

BRENDA

Maybe this is the time to try a little magic.

WOLF

Magic? You a fairy?

BRENDA

I'm a witch actually.

WOLF

A witch? But you're not ugly.

BRENDA

Not all witches are ugly. That's a common misconception.

WOLF

Miscon-what?

BRENDA

Misconception. It means people believe one thing about you but it's not true.

WOLF

I know exactly what you mean. People misconwhattionize me all the time. Man, you accidentally knock down some pig's house with a sneeze and that start telling stories about you. And now there's this little girl and her red hood. Who knows what they'll say about this one.

BRENDA

Wolves and witches have it tough.

WOLF

That they do.

BRENDA

But maybe I can do a little damage control. Set down the cloak and stand back.

(WOLF puts down red cloak and backs away)

WOLF

What you going to do?

BRENDA

I'm going to do a return to owner spell.

(BRENDA does a little dance. Polka music plays)

Holka Polka!

(Lights flash and zap is heard. Blackout)

WOLF

Ah! I'm blind!

BRENDA

Either I am too or something happened.

WOLF

Maybe you returned the moon. I wonder who the owner was?

Valerie: Isn't this incredible that we are both vegan? I can't believe we have actually gone vegan.

Frank: Babe, please. I'm starving.

Valerie: Oh, come on. Just have some more salad.

Frank: Salad?

Valerie: Yeah, you need to eat more plant foods, vegetables and fruits.

Frank: I'm starving babe, alright? I feel like I've been eating leaves all day.

Valerie: Frances, stop it. It's only been three days.

Frank: Three days? That's all?

Valerie: Yep.

Frank: Hasn't it been a week already? I feel like I'm breaking some sort of record.

Valerie: Well, I'm proud of you. You are going to live a longer life.

Frank: (under his breath) In misery...

Valerie: What?

Frank: I gotta tell ya, I'm ready to grab my bow and arrow and shoot down birds in the backyard.

Valerie: That's horrible. Tell me you're joking.

Frank: I'm hungry! Been eating salad that don't even look like salad. It's leaves.

Valerie: It's baby spinach!

Frank: Great. Baby spinach looks like baby tree leaves. What's next? Going outside and eating dirt?

Valerie: You have no discipline.

Frank: Discipline? I've gone an entire week with-

Valerie: Three days-

Frank: That's a week if you're Italian and I feel like I'm shribbling up.

Valerie: Shribbling? What's a shribble?

Frank: Shribble. I feel like I'm shribbling...getting smaller.

Valerie: You mean shriveling?

Frank: Same thing.

Valerie: Well, I'm so happy we're vegan. It's the most amazing thing. I feel light and healthy and I'm already getting a glowing complexion. You too! You're starting to get rosy cheeks.

Frank: Rosy cheeks? What rosy cheeks? You sure that's not heart failure?

Valerie: No, you look more vibrant. You don't feel it? Honestly, you don't feel like you have more energy?

Frank: I need to eat protein to have strength. Let me get more chicken peas then.

Valerie: It's called chick peas, not chicken peas. It compensates for protein. (beat) You know, I can't believe how you go on. That's because you've been given horrible food to eat your whole life.

Frank: No, it's because I've eaten meals where I've actually used a knife.

Valerie: You don't have to go vegan with me. I can do it by myself.

Frank: I just wish there was more options, Val. We go to the store and it's not even an isle, it's a shelf. One whole shelf out of an entire supermarket for vegan and it's all stuff that looks like it belongs on a late night infomercial.

Valerie: Oh, stop.

Frank: Come on, the options are limited. Yesterday we ate what looked like hot dogs but tasted like inflated rubber bands. Then you take coffee away from me and have me on this green tea and a man needs his coffee.

Valerie: It's polluting your brain.

Frank: I love coffee and I won't stop drinking it. This green tea shit is going too far, I need steak and pasta and meatballs and cheese and-

Valerie: Pasta, you can have gluten free pasta.

Frank: What's that? I never heard of that brand? I only know Ronzoni.

Valerie: It's not a brand, it's a kind of food.

Frank: Okay, look...coffee and pasta is all I want...I'll stop eating meat, alright? I'll climb trees and eat leaves but I need my pasta and I need my coffee. Otherwise, I'll kill someone.

Valerie: Alright. Deal.
