ACT III SCENE I
*Above is a recording of the man's voice
That night on Elephant Island, two men are working at the eastern harbor, in the city of Tail. They are almost asleep when they hear the sound of a motor, which is getting steadily louder. They jump out of their chairs and run off the dock before the motor boat runs into it at full speed and breaks part of it. A young MAN of about 15 years old and a MOUTH with stick arms and legs fall out onto the remaining part of the dock. The man throws the mouth off of him, then starts running away. The mouth follows him.
MOUTH: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN: Ni, ni, ni, ni mouth!!!
They both disappear around a corner. The harbormen look at each other, then run after them.
HARBORMAN #1: Stop right there!
The harbormen catch up to the mouth and the man.
Stop in the name of un-odd!
MOUTH: MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
The man looks over his shoulder at the mouth, then trips. The mouth jumps on him and starts attacking him with tiny fists.
MAN: Ni, ni, ni, ni mouth!!!
HARBORMAN #1 grabs the mouth.
HARBORMAN #1: Gochya!
The MOUTH begins struggling.
MOUTH: MMM! MMMMM! M! MM! MMM! MMMMMMMMMM!!!!
HARBORMAN #2: What is that thing?
MAN: It's a mouth!
HARBORMAN #2: Last time I checked, mouths didn't come off of faces, grow arms and legs, and start attacking people.
HARBORMAN #1: Why was this thing attacking you?
MAN: Does there have to be a reason for everything?
HARBORMAN #2: The only things that I can think of that don't have a reason are odd things.
MAN: Well this mouth definitely has no reasons.
HARBORMAN #2: Ha! I knew it! Let's go lock it up!
MAN: Just because it has no reasons?
HARBORMAN #2: Because it's odd. All odd things must be brought before the Chairperson of the Un-Odd Committee and then locked up.
MAN: What's so bad about odd?
HARBORMAN #2: WHAT?????
HARBORMAN #1: Woah, calm down, he's new here, they might not teach these things where he comes from. Let's make this clear: un-odd, good; odd, bad. Okay?
MAN: But, but, but... why?
HARBORMAN #1: That's the policy all over Elephant Island.
MAN: Is that the island's name?
HARBORMAN #1: Yep.
MAN: That's a random name.
HARBORMAN #2: How dare you suggest such a thing? Randomness is a form of oddness and there is no odd anywhere on this island!
HARBORMAN #1: It's not random 'cause it's shaped like an elephant. And you are currently in the section of the island called Tail.
MAN: Well, that's a bit boring.
HARBORMAN #1: Better boring than odd.
MAN: I'm not sure I like this place very much!
HARBORMAN #2: And why not?
MAN: Well, having no odd makes it so... boring!
HARBORMAN #2: Alright, that's it, you're coming with us!
He tries to grab the MAN's arm, but the MAN runs away. HARBORMAN #2 points at the mouth.
Take that thing to the Un-Odd Committee. I'll catch up with you later.
HARBORMAN #1 nods. They run in different directions. The view follows HARBORMAN #1. After he runs a little bit, the MOUTH sticks its tongue out and licks HARBORMAN #1's hand.
HARBORMAN #1: Ew! Bleh!
He drops the mouth and wipes his hand on his shirt. The MOUTH runs back the way they came.
Hey, get back here!
He runs after the MOUTH. The view goes back to the MAN and HARBORMAN #2. The MAN is still running away. He suddenly spots the cellar, the same one where CORN POPO was kept. People are coming out of it. He runs over, then goes in after the last person has left, shutting the door behind him. He looks around, then walks over to CORN POPO's empty cage. The odd-looking seed that CORN POPO found over a year earlier is sitting in the bottom. He takes it out of the cage.
MAN: Huh. A little speck of odd in the middle of a very un-odd.
HARBORMAN #2 opens the door and walks towards the MAN. The MAN shoves the seed in his pocket and backs against the wall.
HARBORMAN #2: You won't get away with this. Liking odd is strictly forbidden!
The view zooms close to his face. A tiny finger is seen poking his cheek. He looks to the side. The view slides to the side to show the MOUTH, who is smiling broadly, on his shoulder. The MOUTH jumps up and bites his nose, causing him to fall over.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!
The MOUTH runs towards the MAN.
MOUTH: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN: AH! Uh, uh,
He looks quickly back and forth, then runs and jumps over the mouth. He continues running out of the cellar, and the MOUTH follows.
MOUTH: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN: Ni, ni, ni, ni mouth!!!
They both run towards the harbor. The MAN keeps looking over his shoulder. He looks one more time after a final turn around a corner. The MOUTH is gone. The MAN runs across the dock, jumps into the motorboat, and starts it. He starts driving away.
Ahh, I finally lost it.
He puts his feet up on the dash, and his eyes get wide as he looks at his leg. The view changes to show the MOUTH on his leg. The MOUTH jumps towards the man's face.
MOUTH: MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He starts squirming around, trying to pry the mouth off his face, but he keeps accidentally bumping the steering wheel. The view zooms out to show an overhead view of the boat, which is turning and going around in random circles, making its way to the other island where BEAN NANA and CORN POPO live. The view changes again to show the beach. The boat is seen speeding towards it. The boat suddenly runs aground and wrecks. The MOUTH goes flying into the woods. The MAN flies out onto the beach, groans, lays on his back, and falls asleep.
