Eve's Insanity
ACT I, Scene 1 - GARDEN EDEN
(A lot of
coconut-trees and one apple-tree on
stage. Enter God and Angels)
(Angels dance
around and do angel stuff)
God
What the
hell are yall doing?
Angel 1
Nothing.
God
Then get
your mangy carcasses back to work!
Angel 1
Are you
going to finish making the earth?
God
I guess so.
Ahem.
(clears throat) Were was I?
Oh ya, let there be light, and let it be called day and night and the
evening yadda yadda yadda, and it was good.
Angel 2
I have a
distinct feeling we’re forgetting something.
God
Well, we've
got porcupines, and mildew and we’ve got dung beetles, what
could possibly be missing?
Angel 1
How about
man?
God
Oh, yeah! (slaps forehead)
(Enter Adam, angels exit)
God
Howdy
partner. What’sa goin’ on?
Adam
Who are you?
God
I’m
God. Adam, I have created you in my own image. Except I’m
smarter and better looking. And more articulate, and I have a sexier
voice, and I’m well… how should I put
this… bigger than you.
Adam
Cool. So,
were can I get a good beer?
God
Try the
“Heidelburg”, nice atmosphere there.
Adam
Great, but
what do you do when you’re sober?
God
Well,
nothing really, wait, oh ya, give me your rib.
Adam
(rips of rip
and hands it to god)
God
Zap. (knocks rip)
(Enter Eve)
Adam
I gave
my
rib for that?
God It’s
better than it looks.
Adam
(intrigued)
Really?
God
I
mean,
check out them apples she’s got. Now, you two can do whatever
you want, just don’t, whatever you do, eat from the amazing
tree of mystery and adventure. Sure I eat from it myself all the time
and I’m tellin’ you, the fruits are delicious, and
all these coconuts are very difficult to eat but just don’t
eat from it. (Immediately
hides behind
something in full view of the audience)
Lucifer
Hi
Eve.
(They stare
deeply into each others eyes)
Lucifer
Hey,
you
know, that fruit tastes pretty good. Why don’t you and Adam
get some?
Eve
God
said we
shouldn’t.
Lucifer
I’ll
go out with you if you eat it!
Eve
And
I’ll have an excuse to dump that creep Adam, that’s
a deal. (Eve
walks to the tree were Adam is
already eating)
God
(jumps out) Gotcha!
(proceeds to laugh ass off)
Adam
She
did it! (sticks
apple in Eve’s
mouth)
Eve
(Kicks Adam in
the groin region) Hey this
apple is pretty good!
(takes another bite
then falls down)
Adam
(high pitched) OOOOOOOOUUUCCCCHHH!!!
… you bruised my apple!
(Adam and God exit)

Enter 8 dwarfs and Witch, Eve turns
into Snow-white)
Witch
Hey

Snow-white
Ermm…

Witch
Just
a nice
old woman from the neighbourhood, thought I would just drop by.
Horny
(to Snow-white) You know, actually
she’s a bitch!
Yankee
You

witch.
Horny
Well,
both
of it.
Snow-white
Is
that true?
Witch
Nonsense.
Look at me - do I look like a witch?
Snow-white
Yes.
Witch
Damn
it. But
I don’t look like a bitch, don’t I?
Snow-white
Not
really.
Witch
(lighten) Puuh…

Snow-white
So,

it?
Witch
I

nice apples here. Do you want one? (grabs
an
apple out of her pocket)
Snow-white
Wasn’t
there something in my past with bad apples?
Witch
I
promise
that they are very delicious.
Snow-white
Yeah,
they
were delicious too, but there was something bad happening.
Witch
Just
take it.
Snow-white
Oh,
what the
heck!
(Eats
apple, falls down)
Witch
Snow-white
you fool! Of course I poisoned the apple! Well, I know I had no
specific reason for that, but it’s just fun as hell! Plus
from now on, I’ll be the fairest in the land! (Exit)

Horny

Sleazy

(All
grin maliciously, Horny bends down over
her)
Snow-white
(wakes up
screaming and slapping)
That’s not part of the script!
(After
a short pause) Who are you anyway?
Dixie
We’re
the eight dwarfs from the seven hills!
Snow-white
Shouldn’t
you be seven dwarfs from the seven hills?
Commie
Could
be,
could be…
Sleazy
Good

babe!
Snow-white
Don’t
call me babe!
Yankee
Anyway…
we are all sick of Dumpy taking dumps all the time.
Horny
Yeah!
You

Pierre
Bonjour

Je mapelle Pierre.
Snow-white
Wait,

your name too? All the rest of you seem to.
Pierre
Well
I’m French; you don’t expect me to lower myself to
the level of these sleezeballs, do you?
Dixie
Ok,
I’m off, gotta go to the wedding with my cousin.
Snow-white
You

Dixie
No,
I mean
“go to the wedding with my cousin”. It’s
our weeding. (dreamy)
I got some
nice new chainmail just for the occasion!
(Exit)
Snow-white
Wait,

Prince

here to put you away.
Snow-white
You

good old days we didn’t have so many apples!
Barman
Chill out!
If you don’t want apples, why don’t you just go to
the garden Eden?
Eating apples is illegal there, you know!
Snow-white
Okay. Where

Oh, just
across the street.

region, walks over and kisses Lucifer. Adam pulls out apple and eats
it)
