After All - Secret Messages (Track 14 of 14)

Aaron:

I'm stranded.
I'm stranded in Outer Space.
The fucking inner-tube line broke.
or someone cut it.
I bet it was Carl.
That bastard.
Slowly spinning.
Fucking lack of friction.
Fucking Carl.
Maybe I'll hit an asteroid or something.
I doubt it.
Fucking infinite cosmos.
At least I have a few sandwiches...
which have Tuna in them.
These are not my sandwiches.
These are Carl's sandwiches.
Fucking Carl.

Ethan:

He was supposed to come back for the others.
To tell them whether it was safe to come out.
But the sky was so beautiful.
And the air was so crisp.
He could see why no one had come back before.


Julie Don't Live Here - Time (Track 16 of 16)

Aaron:

"Hello?"

"Hi. It's Me. We have a code red."

"Ummm....excuse me?"

"You have to come down to central immediately. We're all waiting for you."

"I think you have the wron..."

"This is a matter of life and death! We need to get the Omega Beam up and running within 24 hours or everyone on this planet will die. Stop fooling around!"

"Who is this?!"

"Wait...I am speaking to Julie, right?"

"No. She moved away a few months ago. Julie don't live here anymore."

"Shit"

"Yeah, sorry. I was trying to tell you."

"Ok, well.....I better be going then."

"Urr...you said something about the planet ending?"

"......You must have been hearing things. Sorry for troubling you."

"No, I'm pretty sure I heard you mention..."

Ethan:

"Mrs. Robinson?" The secretary looked up at the empty waiting room. Billy's mother slowly rose to her feet. "Now you wait right here, Billy." she said, " I'll be done in a bit, and then we'll go get some ice cream."

Billy watched his mother blankly, turning back to his toys before she finished speaking. He made airplane sounds as he moved his "Kermit the Frog" doll across the air. Buuuuurrrrrrooooowwwwww.

Mrs. Robinson sighed and followed the secretary out of the room.

Kermit flew through the air. The wind rushed against his cheeks. He was exhilarated. He made flips and turns and danced through the sky. He felt unleashed from all his earthly burdens.

Mrs. Robinson sat down across from the doctor. He explained to her that there was an experimental drug that could possibly offer a treatment for Billy. "It is very risky." he told Billy's mother.

Kermit looked down from above. Below him, the other toys stared up in amazement. How beautiful he was. How full of grace. They held their breath with each dive and turn he made.

Billy's mother exited the doctors office and spoke quietly with the secretary. She then walked up behind Billy and silently watched him play.

Kermit dived towards the ground and pulled up at the last moment. As he rocketed back up, a smile came upon his face. He felt free. He felt immortal.

Eldorado Finale - Eldorado (10 of 12)

Aaron:

Well, that's it! We're done! We've actually finished every single song that ELO has ever written! It's the finale! Hooray! YES! YES! YE...

What? We're not even close?

We have over 120 songs left?

Aw crap....

Ethan:

Poseidon lifts his mighty arms towards the sky as the flaming hail storm rains down upon earth. Beneath him, people and animals run for shelter to no avail. Many fall on their faces and pray to Zeus for mercy, but Zeus is dead, and Poseidon lends no mercy towards their pleas. He had lent none of them mercy. Not Zeus or Hera, Hades, or any of the others. They had all been unsuspecting, so full of themselves. Ever since he was regurgitated, he had been playing second fiddle. Zeus, that incestuous bastard, took his own sister as a wife, and ruled as king. What was he left with? The sea. He gives Hades all of the underworld. Heck, he even names the place after him! But what does Zeus give him? The sea. The goddamn sea. The least he could have done was let him have Aphrodite as a wife. But who does he give her to? Hephaestus. The retarded blacksmith. Asshole.

Poseidon lowers his arms. Beneath him the earth lays in ruin. Behind him, Mount Olympus burns in flames. Suddenly, he feels very tired and old.


A Long Time Gone - Zoom (10 of 13)

Aaron:



Ethan:

(Sound of harmonica)

Its a tough life
Things aren't always easy
Its a hard life
Sometimes it makes you queasy
You get shot on down for what you do
Sometimes you need a hand
Its a tough life
In an a capella band

In the Hall of the Mountain King - On the Third Day (Track 9 of 9)

Aaron:

Scene opens with thief sneaking into the Mountain King's lair. Music is slow, but building. As the thief walks around in the shadows you see that the Mountain King is holding an elaborate party in the grand chamber.

The thief accidentally trips a trap that releases a giant spiked ball that rolls towards him. He runs away from it as the music gets even faster and louder. The audience fears for the thief, but at the same time, know that he will be fine. This is a kid's movie after all.

The thief manages to cut a hole through the floor, landing right in the middle of the Mountain King's lair. The music is crazy now, as the patrons run away from both the thief and the giant metal spiked ball which has fallen from the ceiling.

The Mountain Thief roars and catches the thief by the legs. The audience is slightly worried. How will the thief get out of this one? But, as the music reaches it's highest point, the metal ball comes rolling by and slams into the Mountain King. No blood, of course. Just a big bump on the head.

The thief sneaks out of the lair, grinning to himself, treasure in hand.

Audience stands and cheers. A good time is had by all.

And one 6 year old can't fall asleep that night because he feels bad for the carpenter who has to come patch up the ceiling the next day.

Ethan:

Darren was unhappy with Infinity. It had barged into his life quite unexpectedly, and it was beginning to seem like it simply wasn't going to leave. It had come in through an open upstairs window and had made its way down to the kitchen where it made itself itself a sandwich. It then lay down in Darren's favorite armchair and began watching Animal Planet on Darren's flat screen TV. This, without even saying "hello".

Darren first met Infinity a month ago, on his way home from a pub. It was sleeping on the bench at the bus stop across from Warren's Park. It had seemed so helpless and pitiful that Darren felt like he had no choice but to bring him home. He brought it back and fed it, and that should have been that. But Darren, in his slightly inebriated state, told it to come back anytime. He had enjoyed the company.

Now, Infinity seemed to be permanent company. Darren couldn't find it in himself to tell it to leave. Every time he tried to bring the subject up, Infinity would interrupt him, asking him if he wanted to order out for chinese food or if it would be ok if it heated up some of the microwave buffalo wings. Other times it would just flash him it's big puppy dog eyes and tell him how nice it was to have a friend like him. Infinity could play Darren like a mandalin, and Darren just had to take it.

So, Darren was unhappy with Infinity. He sat there with it, watching Animal Planet and eating barbeque ranch pringles, and hating himself for ever picking the thing up in the first place. On the TV, a polar bear is dying of starvation.
