Laverne: Shirl. You've been asking that same question for the past half-hour.(sitting down at the kitchen table with her milk and pepsi)That high pitch voice of yours ain't helpin' me neither. Your going to give me a case of the monkey nerves.

Shirley:(getting up from the couch and sitting at the kitchen table with Laverne)Oh, I'm sorry, Laverne. I've just had a rough day. And if my crying gets to you, well then, I'll stop.

Laverne: It's not the crying that gets to me...it's whole other octave, your high pitch squeal. It's just like finger nails on a chalkboard.

Carmine Knocks.

Shirley: Come in Carmine.

Carmine: (he opens the door) Hey, girls.(closes the door) I got your mail. (looks at Shirley the table with a depressing look on her face)Hey, Angel Face, What's the matter?

Laverne:(smiling) Well...yeah.

Shirley:(getting up from the couch and standing)Well that's just not going to happen, sister. And do you know why?

Laverne: I'm not allowed to touch Carmine?

Shirley: No. Because Shirley W. Feeney is no quitter.

Laverne: Remember the time the baseball hit you in the face because you had your eyes closed and everyone called you girlie Shirley?

Shirley: Don't interrupt me, Laverne. Besides, a baseball in the face isn't going to stop me from dreaming.(moves around the room) I am going to go with Carmine.

Laverne: There goes the balloon again.

Shirley: Better yet! I'll BECOME a doctor!

Laverne: That balloon is high and gone.

Shirley: I'm going to call Carmine.(looks at Laverne) Maybe I can talk him into dinner too.

Squiggy: Maybe so, maybe so. But I am a dis-englished (distinguished) little man.

Carmine: Are we alone?

Shirley: Let me check.(She looked in the bedroom at Laverne's un-made bed.)Yes, darling. (turns to Carmine) I wonder where she could be? I hope Lenny and Squiggy didn't get their heads stuck in the gorilla cage again.

Laverne: Look and see how far down it goes.

Shirley: (peaks inside) It's so dark. (Laverne pushes her down) Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Shirley's legs stuck out.

Laverne: I'll push you down a little more.

Shirley: No, no, Laverne. This is not a chimney!!

Laverne: What is it?

Shirley: Get me out of here. (Laverne lifted her out) That was a vat of sharks!

Laverne: SHARKS?!!

Shirley: (crying) Yes, Laverne! If you had've pushed me down any further, I would've been the sharks main course!!

Laverne: (laughing) Try hor d'oeuvre, Shirl.

Shirley: Must you make jokes at a time like this. (she looks over the side of the building) Look, Laverne!

Laverne: What?

Shirley: Carmine made it into Mr. Shotz office.

Laverne: That's Dr. Evil's office now, Shirl.

Shirley: That's not the point, Laverne. Come on, let's swing over.

Laverne: We've got no rope, Shirl.

Shirley: (looks over at her) What DO we have, Laverne?

Laverne: (softly, so that Shirley couldn't hear) Scooter pies.

Shirley: What was that?

Laverne: Scooter Pies.

Shirley: What was that?

Laverne: Scooter Pies.

Shirley: ALL YOU BROUGHT WERE SCOOTER PIES?!!!

Laverne: Don't forget the plungers.

Shirley: Laverne, how are we going to get off of here?

Laverne: Fly?

Shirley: With what, Laverne, pixie dust? Honestly.

Laverne: What'd you bring?

Shirley: (looks in her bag) I brought Boo Boo Kitty, my lucky bible, my autographed picture of Fabian and a blanket. (Laverne looks at her) In case it got cold.

Laverne: You just gave me an idea, Shirl.

Shirley: What.

Laverne: The blanket. We can use it as a rope to get down to the next floor.

Shirley: Good thinking, Laverne.

They tied it to a pipe going down the chimney.

Shirley: This time YOU go first. (gives Laverne her bag)

Laverne: Okay. (she slides down to the next floor on the ledge) Not so bad.

Shirley: You were always so good with the ropes in gym. (pauses and looks around) I think I'll stay up here.

Laverne: No, Shirl. If you don't come down here, I'll let go of Boo Boo Kitty. (gets Boo Boo Kitty out of the bag and hold it over the ledge)

Shirley: Nooo! I'll come down! (she comes down inch by inch) Oh. (crying) I can't, I can't, I can't!

Laverne: You're almost there.

Shirley makes it and Laverne grabs a hold of her.

shirley: (looking at her hand) I should've brought lotion. I have calisus that you wouldn't believe.

Laverne: Let's go to the window.

They move toward the window.

Laverne: All right, Shirl, you look inside.

Shirley: (high pitch squeal) What if Dr. Evil's in there and he sees me? I don't want to get caught, Laverne.

Laverne: Shirl, quit your whinin'. You said yourself that Carmine was in there.

Shirley: (calmly) You're right. He's in there.

Laverne: If you're not sure, don't let them see you.

Shirley inched her way to the window and ran to the other side. Shirley peaked inside. Carmine and Richie were searching the ofice.

Shirley: (looks at Laverne) They're in there.

Laverne: (loud whisper) Knock on the window.

Shirley: (whisper) Okay. (she knocks on the window) Carmine. Hello? Carmine.

Laverne: You're going to have to knock louder than that. (she inched her way over to Shirley) We have to get in, Shirl. It's cold out here.

Laverne knocked on her window loudly.

Carmine: (sees the girls and opens the window) Girls, I thought you were on the roof.

Laverne: (stepping in) You thought wrong. We've been out there for 10 minutes freezin' our fannies off.

Shirley came in last.

Shirley: Carmine, have you found anything yet?

Carmine: No.

Laverne spots something sparkly on the floor.

Laverne: (binds over to pick it up) Look, Shirl, a decoder ring. Kinda like the ones we used to get from Little Orphan Annie.

Shirley: (high shrill) Ooooooh, pretty! I want to see if it fits my finger.

Laverne: No, Shirl. I found it, I keep it.

Shirley: I just want to try it on.

Laverne: Go buy a box of Cracker Jacks and get your own ring.

Shirley: (whining) Laverne, you're being selfish!

The girls start arguing.

Richie: (approaching the arguing girls) Excuse me, ladies, but that ring belongs to me. (he takes it from them and places it on his right pinky) I detest that you would assume that this ring came out of a box of Cracker Jacks.

The girls were puzzled.

Scene 15 [OUTSIDE THE BREWERY]

Lenny and Squiggy are still trying to avoid the bald cat.

Squiggy: Lenny, it's looking at me.

Lenny: Don't look back.

Squiggy: Why would I? It's just a brick wall.

Lenny: No, the cat. Just don't look at the cat.

Squiggy: I gott'cha, I gott'cha. (he stared at Lenny)

Lenny: (notices a note on the cat's collar) Look, Squig.

Squiggy: (looks around) Where?

Lenny: The cat.

Squiggy: Now you're confusing me. You tell me to look at the cat after telling me NOT to look at the cat.

Lenny: There's a note. (steps forward)

Squiggy: Careful, Len.

Lenny get the note from the collar.

Lenny: Blah. Blah. Blah...

Squiggy: What does it say?!

Lenny: Oh, no, Squiggy. I wasn't reading the note. I was just going over the lyrics to a song that I'm writing, "Ode To Blah."

Squiggy: Well, blah-vo. What does the note say?

Lenny: (opening it) It says, "YOU WILL DIE!" -Dr. Evil. P.S. COUNT YOU FINGERS AND TOES...THAT'S HOW LONG YOU HAVE TO LIVE. I BID YOU FAREWELL.

Squiggy: But I have an extra toe.

Mr. Bigglesworth ran off.

Squiggy: Come on, let's do what the note says and kill the cat.

Lenny: But don't they have nine lives?

Squiggy: Only for dinner.

They ran after the cat.

Richie: Hello, kitty.

Mr. Bigglesworth: Meow!

Richie: Do you want some Meow Mix? (singing) I want chicken, I want liver. Meow Mix, Meow Mix, please deliver. (grabs the bag and shakes it) Here you go. (pours it into a bowl) Daddy's got to take care of some buisness right now. Enjoy your meal.

Lenny and Squiggy walk in as Dr. Evil is getting out of his Richie Cunningham costume.

Dr. Evil: Nice, uh? It's what I call, steppin' out of someone elses skin...literally!! (puts his right pinky to his mouth) Whoah-ha-ha-ha!!!!

[INSIDE THE OFFICE]

Shirley: Son of a beeswax! Son of a beeswax!

Laverne: What.

Shirley: I got a paper c-c-c-c...

Laverne: Cut! A paper cut!

Shirley: Ooooh.(whiny) I've been trying to avoid them. (sitting down) I feel sick. (starts to cry and hold her finger) It hurts. What if I get an infection?!

Laverne: (kisses it) It's all better. Keep looking.

They all hear laughing.

Carmine: Someone's coming. Hide.

Dr. Evil opened the door and the room was empty. He got behind his desk and buzzed his secretary.

Dr. Evil: Hello. (Buzz! Buzz!) Hello. (no response) What am I paying you frickin' people for anyway?! (picks up the phone) Hello? (pause) This is Dr. Evil. Uh, huh. Uh, huh. (pause) Yeah. Could you tell me the number of Laverne De Fazio and Shirley Feeney? I'll hold. (covers the phone) Hello, can anyone hear me? I need a freakin' pen here! (Carmine grabs a pen from off the desk that he's under and throws it at him.) Ouch! (operator comes back on) Hello. Okay. (brief pause) 555-8484. (pause) No. I know where they live. (pause) Okay, thank you, bye.

Dr. Evil exits.

Shirley: (coming from behind the curtain and in a high pitch squeal) Oh, what are we going to do? He wants to kill us!

Laverne: (taking a lamp shade off her head) Just think, Shirl, if we do survive, you can write it all down in your diary.

Shirley: I want to go home, Laverne.

Laverne: Shirl, he's at our home.

Rosie: (coming into the office yawning) Morning, already?

Laverne: (to Shirley) We have to get home NOW. If we beat him there, we can block the door.

Carmine: Good idea.

Shirley cried as they left.

Scene 17 [LATER AT THE APARTMENT]

Laverne, Shirley, Carmine, and Rosie walk through the door and turn on the lights.

Rosie: Listen, I hate to leave, but my Cadellac is over heating. I was fun.

Rosie exits.

There's a knock at the door.

Laverne: Maybe it's Rosie.

Shirley: Maybe it isn't, Laverne.

Laverne: There's only one way to find out. (shouts) who is it?!

Frank: (italian accent) IT'S YOUR FATHER!!

Shirley: How do you know that?

Laverne: Because he said so.

Laverne opens the door.

Frank: Where is he?!!

Laverne: Who?

Frank: The man trying to hurt you! WHERE IS HE?! Lenny and Squiggy told me there was a man after you. WHO IS HE?!!

Laverne: Dr. Evil.

Frank: Do you know what you are? You're a punk and a bully!!

Dr. Evil: I'm evil.

Frank: PUNK!!

Dr. Evil: (picks him up) Take that back. It hurt.

Frank: No, Punk! (sprayed the word in Dr. Evil's face)

Dr. Evil: Say it, don't spray it!

Laverne: Put him down!

Laverne jumped on Dr. Evil's back while Shirley hit him with pillow.

Laverne: Shirl, a pillow?!

Shirley: The world would be a far better place if everyone used pillows.

Dr. Evil: That's true, but I prefer lazors.

Carmine: Leave us alone. We didn't do anything to you!

Dr. Evil: Oh, really? How about, "Let's get back Dr. Evil. Revenege. We'll find evidence to prove that Dr. Evil is a murderer."

Laverne: (on Dr. Evil's back slapping his bald head) How did you know that?

Dr. Evil: I was there, you idiot! I diguised myself as Richie Cunningham. Or shall I say...the LATE Richie Cunningham. whoa-ha-ha-ha!!! Now that you know...you mus DIE!!!!

Shirley: (getiing down on her knees in prayer and crying) Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thine name...

Dr. Evil: Who goes first?

Fonzie: Me.

Dr. Evil: Who are you?

Fonzie: I am...The Fonz!

Laverne: Help us, Fonzie! He want's to kill us!

Fonzie: (to Dr. Evil) You can't do that.

Dr. Evil: Why not?

Fonzie: (snaps) 'Cause The Fonz says so, woah!

Dr. Evil: Yeah, you relly scare me.

Fonzie: (grabs Mr. Bigglesworth) Kill them and the cat gets it, dig?

Dr. Evil: (grabs Boo Boo Kitty) Put him down or I'll rip the cat apart!

Shirley: No! (grabs Laverne's empty Pepsi bottle and hits him over the head with it) Nobody touches or harms my Boo Boo Kitty! (picks him up) Are you okay?(kisses him)

Laverne: Shirl, you did it!

Shirley: What?

Laverne points to Dr. Evil knocked out on the floor.

Shirley: (surprised) I did that?

Carmine: You're a hero, Angel Face. (he kisses her on the cheek)

Laverne: I'll call the police.

Lenny and Squiggy come running through the door.

Squiggy: Did we miss anything?

Lenny: (nudges him) Look, Squig. It's that bald cat again.

Squiggy: Why won't you leave us alone?

They ran out the door.

[TWO DAYS LATER]

Shirley's sitting on the couch reading Boo Boo kitty, THE POKEY LITTLE PUPPY. Laverne comes through the door with a stack of newspapers.

Laverne: Het, Shirl, I grabbed all the newspapers. We're heros.

Shirley: Laverne, I'm the hero. I knocked him out.

Laverne: But I gave him a noogie. (sits down next to her) Did you write all that stuff down in your diary?

Shirley: Yes and no. You can't read it. (gets up and takes Boo Boo Kitty in the bedroom)
