Le Moo: I don’t know.
Red T: Quick, let’s count the loot and get out of here…
Le Moo: Okay, one for me and ……oh dear, that’s all the money….
Red T: (Jumping up) You…..you are a dirty thief!
Le Moo: Your point being?
Red T: I’m having the stick! (Snatches the staff)
Le Moo: No way! My Gang, my stick!
Red T: Get your own stick , you big bully!
Le Moo: (Grabbing the stick) I am the great Le Moo, and I order you to….
(The dragon’s roar sounds again..louder and much closer)
Red T: What is that?
Le Moo: I don’t know, but it’s getting closer….
Red T: I changed my mind, boss, you can have the stick!
(The Red Toadstool drops the stick , scoops up her few coins and runs off)
Le Moo: (Triumphantly) Aha! Once again the great Le Moo triumphs!
I get the cash AND the stick! Truly I am the great and terrible….
(The dragons roar sounds deafeningly. Le Moo whirls round to look out front… a wash of red light and plumes of smoke envelop the stage)
Le Moo: (In terror) Oh no! ….Keep back! …….I have a stick…….you cannot harm me….I am the great and terrible Le Mooooooo…….
(His last words are drowned out by the sound of flames. Blackout)
Spotlight picks up Lester.
LESTER:
Don’t mess with a dragon
Don’t put them to the test
‘cos if it ever comes to that
You’re always second best!
Don’t aggravate a dragon
‘Cos dragons are no joke
And You’ll end up a pile of cinders
And a little plume of smoke
So please don’t vex that dragon
Don’t go playing silly games
Or you’ll feel a warm sensation
As your bum goes up in flames
So don’t ever…
Never ever……
Absolutely….
Positively…..
Never
Mess
With
A Dragon….
