Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand

Scudworth: [looking into a periscope in his office at Joan and Abe] Young, unsuspecting clones. Little do they know... I control them!

Scudworth: [raises the periscope, which reveals Scudworth's head, wearing a folded paper pirate hat] The greatest minds the world has ever known! For what is more powerful than a high school PRINCIPAL?

Shadowy Figure: [voice from the shadows] Doctor Scudworth!

Shadowy Figure: [Scudworth yelps, as the man steps out of the shadows] I'm sorry to disturb you but there's growing concern among the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures that you may be... completely insane.

Scudworth: Blasphemy!

[Scudworth slowly removes his pirate hat and places it in a drawer marked Pirate Hats. He smiles at the Shadowy Figure]

Shadowy Figure: Yeah well you do have a robotic butler named Mr. Butlertron.

Mr. Butlertron: [Mr. Butlertron enters, carrying a tray] Anyone for scooooones?

Scudworth: [Takes a scone] Why creating a mechanical British servant is no more eccentric than that tie you're wearing!

Mr. Butlertron: [Shadowy Figure looks down. He's not wearing a tie. Mr. Butlertron's tray reemerges, carrying a tea pot and a cup] More tea, Wesley?

Scudworth: He calls everyone Wesley. Don't know why.

Shadowy Figure: Yeah that's facinating. But we're paying you to monitor these clones as closely as possible, so if you wanna keep your job, you can either write a report proving you know what it's like to be a student at Clone High...

Scudworth: [Interrupting] I'll do no such thing!

Shadowy Figure: -Or I'll kill you.

Scudworth: [Typing on the computer] I'll title it, What It's Like to Be a Teenage Clone, colon, A Rope of Sand.

Mr. Butlertron: [Mr. Butlertron enters scene] Good title, it draws the reader in without giving too much away.

Mr. Butlertron: [Long pause] Wesleeeey.
