of lice & men 15 C: pong has went out for supplies. Then we'll begin work on my army of monster-men! Then I'll conquer the world and you will be my Queen. Da! My Queen! Pogo: Never! You are even more fouler than Pong. Do not lay your dirty hands upon me, you super-beast! And upon what evil deed did you send your slave this time? C: To spread more terror. To kill, leaving no clues, to - ( Door is opened by Con Man, who enters. Door closes,as if by itself. CM: I came about the next convention. Do you wanna join the con's society? It's only a buck. All slans are members . . . C: Who told you to come here? Yngvi, I suppose! CM: Right the first time! In fact, I think yngvi came with me - (Scratches vigorously) Say! How come she's tied up? C: How do you know Yngvi is here? Hey! Who's moving Pogo's chair? (The chair, with Pogo tied to it, is [[?]]moving out of the[[?]] room as if pulled by some unseen force. The door opens, Pogo and chair slide out. Door closes. C and CM stare in wonder.) CM: Must've been Yngvi. Mebbe he came back in! C: Listen, you! You know too much. Don't move or I'll slug ya -- I mean you! (Door crashes in. #1 and Pong follow) What the devil is this? (Demon appears.) 1 D: Did you mention me? They're here to oppose you - physically. Battle them. (Vanishes.) Pong: Get him, #1! He's the guy! Where's Pogo, you rat? Where's the monster? ##: So you won't talk? I'll fix you. (#1 dives at C. They battle furiously. CM dances around the pair yelling instructions to #1. Pong slips out the door.) C: (As he fights.) Uh - you are a louse! (Door jerks open. A Masked Head sticks itself in. It's Joe Fann, still hiding his identity. JF: I'm not a louse! I'm a viper! (Head disappears. Door slams shut. Struggle continues.) Yngvi: (Deep mysterious voice coming from nowhere in particular.) Who's a louse? (#1 knocks C to the floor with a blow to the chin. He and CM turn their backs on the prostrate C. #1 dusts his hands proudly. CM pats #1 on the back. C arises from the floor - an ugly knife in his hand. unseen by #1 and CM, he is about to stab #1 in the back when he is gripped by an Unseen Force. The knife drops from his hand. He faints. His body floats out of lab, the door opening and closing itself. Number One turns, sees knife on floor.) #1: Now how did that get there? CM: The cossack must've dropped it. Say, where is the louse? I bet that other louse, Yngvi.... (Scream from outside. #1 rushes over, opens door, looks out.) #1: The monster's carrying Pogo away! Where's that Pong? I thot he went for the monster. come on, you dope - we gotta stop that monster! . . . CM: Yessir! (exeunt) (The curtain falls.) Scene Two: A weird, misty, moor-like field. #1 and CM pursue Monster who is far in the lead, carrying Pogo. #1 has chased the M around the field a couple of times, when Pong suddenly arises from a nearby bush and subdues M by jiu-jitsu. He then releases Pogo. #1 and CM approach.
