Dick Whittington Script Excerpt

Dick and Alice are falling in love and King Rat uses Idle Jack's jealousy to further his evil schemes.

JACK.

Aah! Who are you? Are you King Rat?

KING R.

Whatever makes you wonder that?

JACK.

Your pointy nose and big long tail?

KING R.

It’s true I am an alpha male,
But I am here to do you right.

JACK.

Then promise me that you won’t bite!

KING R.

Your feral godfather am I.

JACK.

You are?

KING R.

JACK.

JACK.

You do? Well done! Bravo, good rat! …I mean, ‘man’.

JACK.

(Looking.) My rival -.

KING R.

Dick!

JACK.

KING R.

Side by side with your fav’rite chick!
Chittity chat, look at them click!

JACK.

Oh stop it please, I’m feeling sick!

KING R.

Then pay attention to my shtick!

(KING RAT makes a magic pass and JACK is hypnotised. MUSIC.)

I have you now within my thrall,
You will not deviate at all.
Tomorrow you will do the deed,
And Dick will get the boot!

JACK.
