The broadcast starts in two hours! There must be at least one monster that needs a job! [MISS PETAL enters. She looks terrified.] MISS PETAL. Ms. Rosario, someone is waiting to see you for the mascot job. MS. ROSARIO. Great! Show him in. [MISS PETAL leaves, still looking terrified.] [YGOR enters, holding a thick rope that is pulled tight. At the other end of the rope is THE MONSTER, hidden offstage. MS. ROSARIO stares up at THE MONSTER. She looks amazed, then overjoyed.] MS. ROSARIO. Perfect. YGOR. My name is Ygor Manic. [points to THE MONSTER, still offstage] This is my friend Frankensteinz. He wants to apply for the job you advertised. MS. ROSARIO. [still staring at THE MONSTER] Frankensteinz? YGOR. Yes, Frankensteinz is his first name. It’s spelled with a z. MS. ROSARIO. What is his last name? YGOR. Monster. [Offstage, THE MONSTER makes a loud grunt. A cat howls. THE MONSTER tugs the rope impatiently, pulling YGOR toward him. MS. ROSARIO pulls the rope back.] YGOR. No, Frankie! Leave the cat alone! [turning to MS. ROSARIO] I think he’s hungry. He hasn’t eaten since he was born. [MS. ROSARIO makes a cell phone call.] MS. ROSARIO. [on her cell phone] Miss Petal, call Cluck-Cluck Chicken. Order a bucket of chicken and a broccoli salad. And hop to it, if you love your cat! [The rope loosens suddenly. YGOR and MS. ROSARIO fall to the floor. MS. ROSARIO gets up immediately and brushes herself off.] MS. ROSARIO. [calmly] Let’s take Mr. Monster to the lunchroom. We can sit down. And I can tell you about the job. YGOR. And how much it pays. MS. ROSARIO. Yes, I can tell you that, too. SCENE TWO Later that morning. MS. ROSARIO gives orders to MISS PETAL, who takes notes. MS. ROSARIO. We must hurry. The broadcast begins at 12:30. Call the makeup department. Tell them that Mr. Monster looks too scary. They should cover some of his stitches. Call wardrobe. Say we won’t need them. MISS PETAL. [breathlessly] Yes, Ms. Rosario. [Noises offstage: tin plates clatter.] THE MONSTER. [from offstage] More food! YGOR. [from offstage] Eat your broccoli. [From offstage, MISS PETAL’s cat howls.] YGOR. [from offstage] No, Frankie! Not the cat! [MS. ROSARIO and MISS PETAL look nervously at each other.] MS. ROSARIO. And order more chicken. MISS PETAL. Cooked? MS. ROSARIO. [sounding overwhelmed] Whatever. SCENE THREE That afternoon, MS. ROSARIO watches a commercial on TV from her desk. She looks impressed. VOICE OF SALESMAN ON TV. [very jolly] So, come to Dollar Rite Department Store right away! Discover our monster bargains. Shake hands with our monster mascot … VOICE OF FRANKENSTEINZ ON TV. More food! VOICE OF SALESMAN ON TV. [laughing] Shake hands if you dare! [MS. ROSARIO turns off the TV. MISS PETAL enters the office with DR. FRANKENSTEIN.] MISS PETAL. Ms. Rosario, this gentleman wants to speak with you. [She points to the man as she leaves.] DR. FRANKENSTEIN. [speaking angrily to MS. ROSARIO] My name is Dr. Victor Frankenstein. You stole my creation! MS. ROSARIO. [surprised] Your what? DR. FRANKENSTEIN. My creation! I put him together from a hundred dead bodies! I created him. I did not give you permission to use him in your commercial. [YGOR enters the office, pulling on the rope. THE MONSTER is offstage, at the other end of the rope.] DR. FRANKENSTEIN. [pointing at YGOR] You! You stole my creature to make money! YGOR. We need the money. Do you know how much it will cost to keep this monster? [As YGOR argues with the doctor, he drops the rope mistakenly. The rope disappears.] YGOR. The cost of food alone will break our backs! DR. FRANKENSTEIN. That’s my problem!I created him. I gave him life! YGOR. Oh, yes, you gave him life. But did you give him love? Did you give him a name? Did you give him breakfast? [MS. ROSARIO notices that the rope is gone.] MS. ROSARIO. Uh, gentlemen? Gentlemen? [DR. FRANKENSTEIN and YGOR continue to argue, pointing at each other.] DR. FRANKENSTEIN. You, you … listen …! YGOR. No, you listen! MS. ROSARIO. [shouting] Gentlemen! YGOR AND DR. FRANKENSTEIN. [turning toward MS. ROSARIO] What? MS. ROSARIO. He’s gone. DR. FRANKENSTEIN. [looking around] Oh no! [YGOR and DR. FRANKENSTEIN both turn toward MS. ROSARIO.] DR. FRANKENSTEIN. Call the police! YGOR. Call the highway patrol! DR. FRANKENSTEIN. Call the hospital! YGOR. Call the Recycling Center! [The phone rings. MS. ROSARIO answers it. She listens quietly and then hangs up.] MS. ROSARIO. He’s in the lunchroom. [YGOR and DR. FRANKENSTEIN rush out of the office. MISS PETAL enters.]
