THE BLUE MAGOO

 

[Mandy is on trial for the murder of her husband Brody, defended by her Lawyer, Madame Chao.  Mwilla-Mina is confronting Osh over his destruction of several human cities.  Meanwhile, the Leech sisters have been separated - Lola has been kidnapped by the Blue Magoo, and Winka sits remembering the good times in a laundromat...]

 

 

INT. LAUNDRY ROOM - DAY

 

 

Winka [A talking Leech] still sits on the washing machine looking at the photo album:

 

 

PICTURE FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE:  Wise Old Dragon with a birthday hat on.

 

WINKA

Wise Old Dragons Birthday party!

 

 

PICTURE FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR:  MANDY SHOOTING BRODY FULL OF HOLES!

 

WINKA

THE TRIAL, I FORGOT!

 

WINKA GETS THE HELL OUT OF THERE QUICK!

 

 

INT.  COURT ROOM – DAY

 

 

The Prosecuting attorney,  GERALDINE, is a big breasted, blond, supermodel type--but don't mess with this gall,  she's tough as iron!

 

GERALDINE

SO, Judge Prudencia, we will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Mandy Plotted to kill her husband in cold blood.  She waited for him to visit her apartment, and then viciously shot him 14 times.  After that they had a brief conversation.  And then Mandy finished the job,  shooting her husband in the head, and then throwing herself out the window:  Unable to bear the evil she had done.  Mandy is the definition of Evil, Judge Prudencia.  Thank you.

 

She sits down, a wicked attorney smile on her face.  She smiles at Madame Chao.  HE IS WEEPING, Softly.  Trying to hold it in.  Geraldine looks a little disturbed.

 

Judge Prudencia looks at the camera!

Strong words from strong prosecuting attorney Geraldine!

But this trial is far from over!

Lets see what Madame CHAO has up his sleeve.....

You may call your first witness.

 

 

MADAME CHAO IS SWEATING IN TERROR

 

He stands up, brushes himself off, and says

 

MADAME CHAO

Madame Chao calls BRODY to the STAND!

 

GASPS!  CONFUSION!  CUE JUDGE PRUDENCIA THEME MUSIC!

 

GERALDINE

OBJECTION!  Your honor, Brody is dead.

 

PRUDENCIA

Over-ruled.

 

MADAME CHAO

Thank you, your Honor.

 

He walks over the witness stand.  It is empty.  He peers over the edge, looks at the chair.

 

MADAME CHAO

Okay BRODY, Where ARE YOU.

 

He gives a fierce look to Mandy.  She shrugs.  Holds up her hands, waves them to make Brody grow out of them.  Nothing.

 

MANDY

He comes when he wants,

 

MADAME CHAO

OKAY BRODY, COME OUT NOW!  COME OUT FOR MADAME CHAO!

 

Nothing.  He turns back to Mandy, Helpless.

 

GERALDINE

Your Honor--Please!  This is--

 

MADAME CHAO

OH BRODY!  There you ARE!

 

He is staring at the courtroom doors.  There is nobody there.

 

MADAME CHAO

How are you Brody?  Have a seat, BRODY.

 

He turns to the witness stand.

 

MADAME CHAO

So now, Brody.  WE have had a lot of trouble about you!  Poor GOOD Mandy is on trial.

 

Silence.  Madame Chao nods his head, listening with interest.

 

MADAME CHAO

Is that SO, BRODY.

 

GERALDINE

What the hell--

 

MADAME CHAO

(Screaming)

YOU SHUT UP. 

 

GERALDINE

There's Nobody THERE, Madame Chao!

 

MADAME CHAO

WHAT IF BRODY IS INVISIBLE!?

 

Geraldine scoffs in disgust.  She cannot believe what she's seeing.  She turns to the Judge for help.

 

GERALDINE

Your Honor....?

 

PRUDENCIA

Well, I know  I  don't see anybody.  Madame Chao, can you PROVE that Brody is sitting there?

 

MADAME CHAO

(smiles.  He's got them now.)

You Want Madame Chao to PROVE That Brody is here.  Well, Maybe you should think about What Brody IS.  IF BRODY EXIST!

 

GERALDINE

What!?

 

MADAME CHAO

You Don't see him.  I Don't see him.  THERE IS NO BRODY!  How Can GOOD MANDY Kill who is not there!?

 

He sits down.  Pleased with himself.

 

PRUDENCIA

(At the Camera)

Well!  That got ME Thinking.  Geraldine, would you care to cross examine?

 

Geraldine stands at a loss for words.  Walks to the witness stand.  Looks confused and lonely.  Peers into the box, at the seat.  stands back up.  DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

 

 

INT.  MARKO’S SPACE STATION

 

 

MARKO is watching Mandy’s trial on a giant screen.  LOLA [another talking leech] sits next to him.

 

MARKO

Well!  This is all wrapping up very well.

 

LOLA

Soon the team will unite to destroy you.

 

MARKO

He Pours her a glass of wine in a shallow glass,  picks up Lola, and drops her in.  She swims about with glee, PERFORMING SWIMMING FEATS.

GERALDINE

OH, Magoo!

 

MARKO

So the pressing question now--

 

GERLADINE STARTS TO GNAW ON A COFFEE TABLE!

 

MARKO

No!  Lola!  NO STOP AND LISTEN, DAMMIT!

 

Geraldine looks up and smiles through bloody teeth.

 

MARKO

Goddamn you people.  The Pressing Question-- Was Lola actually Geraldine all along?  OR IS THIS JUST SOME TRICK?

 

Geraldine blinks.  And FLIES INTO A RAGE!

 

GERALDINE

A TRICK!  A TRICK!  OH!  WHO IS IT!  WHO IS IT!

 

MARKO (Grim)

Why do I even Bother.

 

A little sad, he walks out of the room.  Into the Library.  BRODY IS IN THE LIBRARY

 

MARKO

What are You doing here?

 

BRODY

Business as usual?

 

MARKO

It's getting Old, Brody.

 

BRODY

Well, Maybe something will go different this time.

 

MARKO

At least you’re coming to your senses.  Talking to the Dreaded Magoo.  I'm proud of you Brody.  Maybe that's the big surprise this time.

 

BRODY

Routine and routine again.

 

MARKO

Speaking of which, isn't it time that you exploded in a gratuitous fountain on blood?

 

Brody Sighs.  BRODY IS RIPPED TO SHREDS.  A Tear rolls down Marko's Cheek.

Oh! Mandy, the Lawd works in mysterious ways.....

CUE JUDGE PRUDENCIA THEME MUSIC

 

Geraldine is crying, silently.  She sits back down, and rips the bloody star from her side with a grimace.  The cut is very deep.

 

GERALDINE

OLD LADY MADAME CHAO

SOOO.  WINKA!  What you think of MANDY?

 

GERALDINE

PRUDENCIA

Do you want a glass of water?

 

GERALDINE

I'm......Dying.

 

PRUDENCIA

How did you ever get your license?

 

OLD LADY MADAME CHAO

Hold on.  I fix.

 

Madame Chao stands over Geraldine and sprinkles magic powder over her dead body.  POWER!  MAGIC!  GERALDINE IS HEALED.  She sits up, a little traumatized.

 

PRUDENCIA

(With Rage!)

MADAME CHAO!  WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT WHILE WE WERE ROLLING?

 

MANDY

But that's NOT Madame CHAO.  Madame CHAO is a MAN.
