What’s an Academic?

Fayco: That’s right, and don’t you forget it. (turns to Molly) I heard you were on the train, Molly Sculptor. Fayco Falmoy at your service. And this is Lobster and Boil. There’s a seat in our car if you’d like to sit with some real actors.

Thunder crash

Answer 20

It’s been acting up a bit recently.

Question 21

Donne: What does that mean?

Answer 21

I don’t know, but I don’t think I can finish this tail. My hand hurts too much. And where did my scissors go?

Sorry, I had some issues finishing my piece.

Answer 23

It’s this blasted spot! It feels like it’s on fire!

Answer 24

Don’t get carried away guys…

Question 25

Donna: What is it, Molly?

Answer 25

You don't think Snipe would steal my scissors, do you?

Question 26

Persephone: (interrupting Donna) Donna! Take a breath! Remember your training! Breathe through the emotion. Save your drama for the stage.

Answer 26

Well just help me keep an eye on Snipe, will you? And as for my spot, I'm sure it's just carpal tunnel. Hopefully it';; be better before next month.

Question 27

Bumblefloor: Thank you, Fayco. Molly, please share your concept with us.

Answer 27

Well, I approached this challenge from the standpoint of taking a play which is problematic in our current society. I have always enjoyed the fun banter of Kate and Petruchio in Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," but it does pose a challenge as it can be interpreted as highly misogynistic. And we don't need to be presenting plays which degrade women. So, I would take this play and set it in... (unfurls poster) ah... the Wild West! Yes! Where Kate is a strong woman with the same, ah, caliber as the famous... gun-slingers, like Billy the Kid. And when Petruchio is trying to control her, she is playing the same game against him, so they are on equal footing. Instead of a submissive wife, she will be his... partner in crime.

Question 28

Donna: Way to go!

Answer 28

Thanks, but I didn't draw that hat! I had to make up all that Western stuff on the fly!

Question 29

Mooney: No, protecting!

Answer 29

Huh?

Answer 30

It's an honor to work with you too, Frederick.

Question 31

Frederick: What happened, Molly?

Answer 31

Oh sorry, it's nothing.

Question 32

Frederick: OK. Why don't we start rehearsing? We only have a month!

Answer 32

Where's the cutaway?

Question 33

Frederick: I don't know. Maybe we should just continue?

Answer 33

Good idea.

Question 34

Frederick: That was a short month, but I feel really good about how well we rehearsed that scene, as long as those Critiquers don't show up!

Answer 34

It's not the Critiquers I'm worried about, it's my hand. It's still really painful.

Question 35

Fred Tolom: Don't touch other people's props! This one is for Molly Sculptor.

Answer 35

That's weird...

Question 36

Frederick: What's weird?

Answer 36

It's just... um, nothing. (pause) Frederick, I don't think I'm going to be able to pull off King 2's fight choreography.

Question 37

Frederick: Then let's switch. I'll play King 2.

Answer 37

Are you sure?

Question 38

Frederick: Yeah! If there's anything you can say about Gafferpuffs, it's that we know how to be flexible!

Answer 38

Thank you!

Question 39

Frederick: Of course, Molly. Here... I feel really good about this.

Answer 39

Well, my formidable foe, here we are.

Question 40

Let us no longer let our people suffer the pangs of war! A truce!

Question 41

King 2: A truce!

Answer 41

Gesundheit.

Question 42

King 2: Thank you.

Answer 42

Here, my new-found friend, I drink to your health and the prosperity of our union.

Question 43

King 2: Here here!

Answer 43

Tell me. Now that we have supped the communal wine of peace, (pause) how would you feel if I murdered your people and took over your land?

Question 44

KIng 2: What the what?

Answer 44

Did you honestly think I would step aside and let these years of bloodshed mean nothing! That wine was poisoned you fool! I expect you to die a cruel, horrible death in 3... 2... 1...

Question 45

King 2: Well, that poison didn't work!

Answer 45

Huzzah! Now I am the one king to rule them all! Nothing can stop me now! I said.... NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! Nothing... can stop.... me... now? Frederick?! Frederick! He's been poisoned!

Question 46

Nearly Partless Ned: Hey! No ad-libbing in my play! Stick to the script!

Answer 46

No, I mean Frederick has literally been poisoned!

Question 47

Everyone screams!

Answer 47

Where's Snipe? I bet he's behind this!

Question 48

Snipe: Why would I do such a thing?

Answer 48

I should've drank from that glass, not Frederick! You've been out to get me since day one, you life-cheater!

Question 49

Moldefort: I had to stop them. But this cursed child had to live! Her parents' love for theatre protected her when she was a mere infant.

Answer 49

I thought it was their love for ME that protected me.

Question 50

Moldefort: And I can't have that happen! I'll never be able to change this school to a film studio with that kind of theatrical success from an alumnus! That's why I tried to poison you!

Answer 50

It was you! You poisoned the prop drink! You killed poor Frederick!

Question 51

Moldefort: That drink was meant for you!!! Curse you and your versatility to change roles at the last second!

Answer 51

You will never change this school to a film studio! I stopped you once as a baby, and I'll stop you again!

Question 52

Moldefort: Please, child! You cannot defeat me!

Answer 52

I challenge you to a duel, Moldefort. If I win, Piglumps stays a theatrical school forever. If you win, you get your film studio.

Question 53

Moldefort: Silence! I accept your duel! There is only one type of duel that will suffice at Piglumps. Let the improv battle commence! Choose your improve game.

Answer 53

I challenge you to... Questions!

Question 54

Persephone: Don't do it, Molly! Everyone knows Moldefort is the reigning champion of Questions at Piglumps!

Answer 54

Trust me, Persephone. I got this.

Question 55

Bumblefloor: Molly, are you ready?

Answer 55

I was born ready!

Question 56

Bumblefloor: Let the questions begin in 3... 2... 1.

Answer 56

Is the director on set yet?

Question 57

Moldefort: Have you seen him?

Answer 57

How are we going to start filming without the director?

Question 58

Moldefort: Are the actors here?

Answer 58

Are you one of the actors?

Question 59

Molefort: Don't you know who I am?

Answer 59

Are you that egotistical Moldefort I've heard about?

Question 60

All: Oohhhhhhhhh!

Answer 60

Why are you trying to destroy our school?

Question 61

Moldefort: Why won't you die?

Answer 61

You want me dead?

Question 62

Frederick: Psst. Molly! That's your cue!

Answer 62

Frederick! You're alive!

Question 63

Mooney: I told you so.

Answer 63

Professor Snipe, I'm sorry I thought it was you. But it was Moldefort and a well-meaning stage elf. I guess I'm always wrong.

Question 64

Mooney: Here, Molly, give this to Dabby. I found it backstage.

Answer 64

Here Dabby, you left this backstage.
