Veroni: Time for the last part of this thing!
Cats: YEA!
Veroni: But I already have my next project all layed out! We begin pre-production after we wrap here!
Cats: yea.
Veroni: Aw, c'mon! It'll be great! Matt and I have planned to work together!
Cats: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Veroni: Very funny.
(They finish dinner and a dance together and they head out to the balcony to talk for awhile)
Mac: Bomb... are you happy here with me?
Bomb: Why wouldn't I be happy? I mean, you only kidnapped me from my father and everything I'd ever known and locked me away in a rather large and did I mention DAMP AND MOLDY cell. So.... yes, I'm happy here.
Veroni: BOMB!
Bomb: Sorry! Sorry! Ah, for the lost art of ad lib...
(She discloses the fact that she terribly misses her father. When the Beast tells her that she can see her father in his enchanted mirror, she jumps at the chance. However, when she finally gets to gaze into it, she sees that her father is sick and may be dying..... so she decides that she must leave to save his life. The Beast lets her go, only when she leaves, he is heart broken and lets loose a snarl of despair and...... well, what did you expect? Sings...)
Mac: No pain could be deeper....
No life could be cheaper....
No point anymore if she can't love me...
No hope she would do so
No dream to pursue
So I look to myself, despise all the things I see
For I know that she cannot set me free
Let the world be done................... with me.
Cats: Awwww.... how sad.
(Bomb finds her father in the woods and takes him back home. They are hardly back in their home five minutes when a knocking comes on the door.... it is Rumpson and Lefounce with Tugston not far behind. Tugston has also taken the liberty to gather a small crowd to witness Bomb agreeing to marry him in order to save her father. However, he doesn't count on her producing a magic mirror which shows them that her father's rants about a Beast are actually quite true...)
Bomb: SHOW ME THE BEAST!
(The crowd gasps and hides their faces in their paws)
Gus: That's him! That's him!
Cass: is he dangerous??
Bomb: NO NO! He'd never hurt anyone! I know he looks frightful, but he's really very gentle and kind! He's my friend.
Tugger: If I didn't know better, I'd say you had feelings for this monster!
Bomb: He's not the monster, Tugston! YOU ARE!
Pounce: Oooooh! Slam! Score Bomb!
Veroni: Pounce... back in character. NOW?!
Tugger: She's as crazy as the old tom! She says this creature is her friend, but I've hunted wild animals and I know what they can do! The Beast will make off with your kittens!
Cats: **GASP!**
Tugger: He'll come after them in the night!
Cats: **BIGGER GASP!**
Tugger: Forget the old tom! I SAY WE KILL THE BEAST!!!
Cats: YEA!!
Tumble: (starts the singing) We're not safe until he's dead!
Quaxo: He'll come stalking us at night!
Jelly: Set to sacrifice our kittens to his monsterous appetite!
Plato: He'll wreck havoc on our village if we let him wander free!
Tugger: So it's time to take some action toms!
IT'S TIME TO FOLLOW MEEEEEEEE!!!!
Through the mist, through the wood,
Through the darkness and the shadows,
It's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride!
Say a prayer and we're there at the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside!
IT'S A BEAST! He's got fangs, razor sharp ones!
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast!
Hear him roar! See him foam!
But we're not coming home until he's d-EAD!
GOOD AND DEAD!
KILL THE BEAST!
Mac: Hey! Why do you guys ALWAYS have to gang up on me? What did I ever do to you!?
Jenny: Oh... well, let's see..... spewing a heck of a lot of anti-feminist garbage, for starters!
Mac: That was in the script!
Jenny: And that makes it right?
Mac: (getting pretty cheesed off) Maybe I should have said a little MORE about you STINKIN' FEMALES!!!
Jenny: Oh, that is it! Where's my catapult?!
Veroni: Guys! Focus please? Someone tear those two apart... PLEASE!
(The villagers lock Bomb and Gusurice in their basement and head off to lay seige to the castle. The objects, in the meantime, prepare their own first line of defense...)
Objects: Hearts ablaze! Banners high!
We go marching into battle
Unafraid, although the danger's just increased!
Villagers: Raise the flag! Sing a song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong!
And fifty frenchcats can't be wrong!
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!
(They begin to battle, while Tugston begins climbing around the castle in search of the Beast. Munkiere rushes off to warn the master while simultaneously Bomb and Gusurice escape the basement and begin racing back to the castle.)
Munku: Master?
Mac: Leave me in peace.
Munku: But the castle! It's under attack!
Mac: It doesn't matter now.... just let them come.
Tugger: (jumps into the room) You ask... I deliver! (draws a crossbow and they begin exchanging blows)
Jenny: I don't say this often, but GO TUGGER!
Veroni: Jenny.... CHILL OUT! They're just acting!
(Eventually, the objects drive the rest of Tugston's mob from the castle, but their ringleader is still inside, trading vicious blow upon blow. The Beast seems to begin not fighting as hard...... for his heart is still broken by Bomb's departure. Just when it looks like he is going to die, Bomb arrives on the scene, renewing the Beast's will to fight for his life. They fight for a little while, and instead of giving the blow by blow, we'll just say that just whet looks like Tugston is going to still finish off the Beast, he looses his balance and tumbles to his death.)
(Bomb celebrates.... but only for a moment, for the Beast was fatally wounded in the battle. He lets loose a low growl as he sinks into her arms.)
Mac: You... came back?
Bomb: OH! If only I'd come sooner!
Mac: Maybe..... maybe it's better this way....
Bomb: NO! don't talk like that! We're together now and everything will be fine, you'll see!
Mac: At least I got to see you one last time.......
Bomb: (sings) We are home
We are where we shall be forever
Trust in me, for you know I won't run away
From today, this is all that I need
And all that I need to say
Don't you know how you've changed me?
Strange how I finally see...
I've found home... you're my home...
Stay.... with.... me....
(he sags back, going limp in her arms)
Pounce: So he croaks and we all get to go out for a special end of parody celebration dinner! I'll get
the car!
Veroni: Not quite, and I know you knew that....
Bomb: (glares and quickly picks up where she left off) NO! Please.... please don't leave me.......................... I love you.
(she kisses him and the air sizzles to life--- the spell has been broken!)
Veroni: Misto... a little help here? And are all of Cass' relatives standing by for a heck of a lot of quick
changes?
Cass: They're ready.
(Misto cracks his knuckles and waves his paws around, causing many bright flashes and sparkles in the air. During this,
Cass and her relatives pull Mac backstage and comb back his fur, change his clothes and do a full kitty makeover. The
same thing goes for the cats playing enchanted objects. They all re-emerge on stage, cats once again.)
Bomb, don't you recognise
The Beast within the tom who's here before you?
Jenny: I didn't have to have all of Misto's little parlor tricks to see the Beast of a tom here before me.
Veroni: Jen..... QUIT IT!
Mac: Thanks for coming to my rescue, V.
Veroni: -- Not that I like Macavity much myself, it's just that you're wrecking my parody by constantly throwing in side
comments!!
Mac: I feel a "Hey" coming on.... HEY!
Bomb: (shrugs and continues) IT IS YOU!!!!
(They smootch and the rest of the cast files out on stage)
Bomb and Mac: Two lives have begun now!
Two hearts become one now!
One passion, one dream!
One thing forever true:
I LOVE YOU!!!!! (another smootch)
All: (come back on, celebrating being Felines again)
CERTAIN AS THE SUN RISING IN THE EAST
TALE AS OLD AS TIME, SONG AS OLD AS RHYME
BOMBY AND THE BEAST!
TALE AS OLD AS TIME, SONG AS OLD AS RHYME
BOMBY AND THE BEAST!
Ahhhhhh AHHHHhhhh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Pounce: Ah... what a sweet as sugar ending!! I think I may sick up right here and now...
Veroni: Grossness.
Lec: Double grossness.
Mac: (rubbing the gel out of his mane so it can go wild once more.....) Ahhh. Much better.
Tugger: Honeymoon didn't last long, huh Bomb, babe?
Bomb: Oh, you're just a big bucket of funny, you are Tug.
Veroni: Are we done with the petty bickering now?
Tugger: Aww! But I felt another scathing insult coming on!
Veroni: Just going to have to save it until next time.... wait, what am I saying?? GET RID OF IT!!!
Mac: (rushes off to hit on all 70 some-odd relatives of Cassandra) I... have some business to take care of....
Cass: (chasing after him) YOU LEAVE MY COUSINS ALONE!!!!!!!
