Transcript

{The Episode opens, with a shot of the Rosenberg building. Lightning begins to crackle, as the scene cuts to an event room. A group of laborers is constructing a stage. At the same time, a familiar beggar, now dressed in cleaner clothes, is directing them.}

BEGGAR: We want lights everywhere! We are going to blind the audience with our brilliance, you got it?

{Two more laborers walk in, lugging a DJ system. The beggar yells at them.}

BEGGAR: Be careful with that thing! If you break it, you're gonna be sorry! Seriously, I'll break your legs. I'll make you break each other's legs, I ain't fuckin' around here!

{One intern, out of a crowd of them shown on-screen, turns to Stephanie.}

INTERN: Who's that? Miss Rosenberg didn't mention him...

STEPHANIE: That's "Dahn." He's one of our guys. Mr. D'Arque insisted that we include him in the Fundraiser, as our music director.

{Dahn sits on the half-constructed stage and calls out to Stephanie.}

DAHN: Yo, Stephy. Fetch me a fizzy, won't ya?

{Stephanie frowns, but goes over to a cooler anyway. She throws a can of Jolt Cola at Dahn, who catches it flawlessly. He begins sipping on it.}

DAHN: Thanks.

{Stephanie leans over to the intern.}

STEPHANIE: {whispering} Frankly, he gives me the creeps. D'Arque seems entirely seduced by him, and I'm not sure why...

{Dahn lights up a cigarette. A familiar face - Jules - takes immediate notice, and approached him.}

JULES: Yo, bruv! This is a smoke-free building!

DAHN: Dude, I'm a special guest. You can make an exception for me.

{Dahn flashes a toothy grin, revealing a gold tooth.}

JULES: I... don't know what to say to this.

DAHN: Say nothin', babe. Just enjoy the sweet, sweet music.

{Silence.}

JULES: I don't hear anythin', man.

DAHN: Shhhhhhhh. It's in your soul, babe. Listen to the music in your soul.

JULES: Uhhhhhhhh...

{Zoom in on Jules' forehead as "Because I Got High" by Afroman starts playing.}

JULES: I think I get you, man.

{Leigh appears next to Jules quietly.}

LEIGH: Hey Jules, what does "fizzy" mean?

JULES: I don't fuckin' know, probs a synonym for soda or somethin'.

GORDON: {offscreen} Och, Leigh! It's almost our lunch break, an' I wanna get me some pierogies!

{Leigh runs offscreen, an awkward silence between Jules and Dahn otherwise passing the time.}

JULES: So uh... What kind of music you play?

DAHN: Sweet jams we ain't got the rights to, my dude. Sweet jams we ain't got the rights to.

{Cut to Garfield, Lex, and Chaos in the apartment above Katyusha's. It appears to be breakfast time, once again. Garfield can be seen, getting out a jar of grape jelly. He takes some out, using a knife, and spreads it on a hotdog bun on his plate. Then, he gets out a hotdog from a pan on top of the stove, putting it inside the bun. At the same time, Chaos is seen on the couch, flipping through television channels, and Lex is munching on cereal once again.}

GARFIELD: Today I put GRAPE JELLY on this hot god.

{Chaos looks put off by what Garfield said.}

CHAOS: Dude, you don't have to announce it.

{Garfield begins eating his hotdog. Lex still continues to munch on cereal, wordlessly.}

{Cut to Xavier D'Arque, being escorted into the Gauzy Girl Theatre by a small greyish-green goblin in a suit.}

XAVIER: So you're from the Bayou. What's it like there? I've never actually been.

DROLL: It's a bit of a shithole, but it's my shithole, y'know?

XAVIER: I get you. Sometimes I get tired of the high life, myself. I envy people like you. I've seen pictures and videos from those areas. You all look so poor, but you seem so happy.

DROLL: {sarcastically} Gee. Thanks.

{The two go through the dusty and abandoned theatre until they reach the backstage area, which has been redecorated in the style of a colonial-era throneroom. Sitting in the throne is a man with rotted flesh and a mostly visible skull, dressed in dapper and dusty clothing. Droll bows to the undead individual before exiting the scene. The individual stands up as Xavier goes over to shake his hand.}

XAVIER: I have followed your advice to the letter. The fundraiser is tomorrow, and everything is going entirely to plan.

????????: You have done well in following my orders, Xavier. It won't be long until the D'Arque family name is returned to its former glory, and you will take your rightful place as the head of it, with me by your side.

{Zoom out of the theatre, as the camera pans towards a nearby cemetery. Lightning strikes, signalling the Episode's end.}
