SCENE 24
EXT – RUBBLE OF FRANCOPHILE CASTLE – THE NEXT DAY
(JIMMY, SARIA)
JIMMY IS LYING IN THE RUBBLE, CUT AND WOUNDED, BUT NO BADLY INJURED. HE COUGHS A FEW TIME AND LOOKS UP TO SEE A PAIR OF WOMEN’S LEGS. HE LOOKS FARTHER UP TO SEE A GORGEOUS BLOND BOMBSHELL. THIS IS UNNECESARIA TEEYANAY, CALLED SARIA, WHOM ALGORE MENTIONED EARLIER AS HIS DATE. JIMMY SLICKS BACK HIS HAIR EVEN THOUGH HE IS COVERED WITH RUBBLE AND GORE AND HAS A TOILET ON HIS FOOT.
JIMMY
Well, Hello.
SARIA
Hello. Is Algore around?
JIMMY
Algore? You're looking for the hunchback?
WOMAN
Yes. I have a date with him. My name is Unnecessaria Teeyanay. Everybody calls me Saria. You must be Professor Vector van Francophile.
SARIA SHAKES JIMMY’S HAND.
JIMMY
Francophile? No, I'm not Francophile!
SARIA
You're not? Who are you, then?
JIMMY
Jimmy Smith. I mean,
(dignified, British accent)
The Earl of Warren.
SARIA
Is that a toilet on your foot?
JIMMY
(regular)
Oh, dammit!
SARIA
Hey, wait! The castle's gone!
SARIA LOOKS AROUND THE RUBBLE OF THE CASTLE AS THOUGH JUST NOTICING IT. JIMMY GETS UP.
JIMMY
So it is. Well, I'm off!
JIMMY LIMPS OFF.
SARIA
(calling after him)
What about Algore?
JIMMY
(over his shoulder)
I don't know.
SARIA
Where are you going?
JIMMY
To get this damn thing off my foot!
