Doug
I see. Well, perhaps one of THESE [pulls out donut] would refresh your
memory, eh?
[Secretary hesitates, then snatches donut]
Secretary
Well, the day after HE died, his brother Claude married his wife and
took over the entire brewery. But there's a daughter...[she pauses]
Doug [to Bob]
Go, eh?
Bob
It's my last one!
Doug
Go!
[Bob give his donut to the secretary]
Bob
It's a jelly.
[Secretary takes donut]
Secretary
She just turned 21, and legally inherits the whole brewery.
Bob
So SHE'S the new boss?
[cut to boardroom]
Claude
However, today I've asked Pamela to stop by so we could present her
with this honorarium and temporary share transfer agreement.
Henry
In other words, you're buying her out!
Claude
No one is buying anyone out, Henry. This is a temporary arrangement to
relieve her of the burden of ownership so that she can continue with
her studies.
Henry [to Pam]
Do you WANT to be relieved of the burden of ownership?
Pam
Well, I don't know. Five million dollars is an awful lot of money.
My mother might have accepted your proposals, but I don't! Forget it,
uncle. I'm taking over the brewery!
Lawyer
There's a legal question to be considered here... Essentially this is a
vote of trust.
[cut to Bob and Doug wandering aimlessly in the hallways]
Bob
Come on, we're lost.
Doug
We are not!
Bob
We're lost in the brewery!
[Doug wrestles with Bob until LaRose emerges from doorway]
LaRose
Who are you?
Doug
Ah, yes. We have an appointment with the president--the new president,
not the one who died--of the brewery. Mr. Claude Elsinore. Perhaps
you've heard of him?
LaRose
Come on, I'll show you.
Bob
You know how that is? That's Jean LaRose, the Montreal Canadien
Rookie-of-the-Year two years ago, but he doesn't play hockey no more.
Doug
Take off, he's a cop and he knows you're lying about the mouse in the
bottle and he's going to arrest you and I'm going to be a witness.
Bob
I've got that guy's hockey card all over my room!
[cut to computer room, monitor shows Bob and Doug fighting]
Ted
Looks like LaRose's picked up those two hicks.
[cut to office]
Claude
But you don't know how to run a brewery! Who will handle the day-to-
day operations?
Pam
Henry Green ran it for my father, he can run it for me!
Henry
I'll help all I can. Excuse me. I just don't want to step on Smith's
toes.
Pam
Who?
[There's a knock at the door]
Claude
What? We're having a meeting!
LaRose [entering]
These gentlemen here say they have a meeting with you, eh?
Claude
When? What meeting?
Bob [to Pam]
Hey whiplash, how's it going?
Pam
Just fine, thanks.
[Pam and LaRose lock eyes to the tune of cheesy music]
Claude
What is the reason for this?
Doug
Are you Claude Elsinore?
Claude
Yes.
Doug
Well, we found this mouse in a bottle of YOUR beer, eh? Like we was at
a party, and a friend of ours, a cop, had some and he puked. And he
said 'come here and get free beer,' or he'll press charges.
Claude [looks at bottle]
Henry, could this have happened?
Henry
Well, not so long ago, when there were MEN on the bottling lines,
this sort of thing DIDN'T happen.
Pam
So let's get some MEN on the bottling line!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[SCENE EIGHT - The bottling line]
Henry
Welcome to 1984, the age of automation and unemployment. The rise of
the machine and the fall of man. The end of the human era. [to Bob
and Doug] You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
Doug
What? We can't hear you. We've got these things in our ears, eh?
Henry
Watch your step and remember, Big Brother is watching you. Put these
on [hand them goggles]. Safety requirements. [to Bob] Your job is to
watch the bottles on this line, watch them for mice!
Doug
What's my job?
Henry
Help him.
[Bob and Doug count beer bottles. Bob grabs two beers.]
Bob
You got an opener?
Doug
Yeah, I stole this! [he opens the bottles]
Bob
Two at a time, eh?
Doug
Yeah...to our new jobs, eh?
Bob
Cheers!
[cut to computer room]
Smith
Let me see what you've got.
Ted
Ok.
Smith
Good. Now bring the lunatics from the Institute. I want to see how
the drug in the beer is affecting them.
Ted
They're responding to the sounds...watch this. [plays organ -- the
lunatics run through tunnel to the brewery and suit up for hockey] Ok,
basically it's the same system, with a new addition. Specific tones
are still linked to motivation, but now we've added color
distinction. So, object A will attack object B, or black will attack
white, or vice versa. I'm going to try the whole thing out tomorrow.
Smith
Same concentration of formula?
Ted
Yes.
Smith
Good, that means we're right on schedule. Just one more test, and
then we are ready for the world! Light them up.
[Ted punches up lights on world map]
Smith
Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[SCENE NINE - Elsinore castle--Claude, his wife, and Pam at dinner,
Claude
You know, Pamela, I don't want you to think that your mother and I
don't understand how you feel about losing your father.
Mother
If it had been ME, you'd have been over it by now.
Claude
It's easy to wallow in self pity--the hard thing is to go on living.
Mother
We always have our memories. The Colonel is dead, here we are still
enjoying his chicken!
Pam
Don't you think it's a little unusual to get married so soon after the
funeral?
[Claude shifts in his chair]
Claude
More bean medley, dear? [gives beans to mother]
[cut to McKenzie home]
Mom
Well, where'd you boys get all this beer?
Dad
You stole it, didn't you!? I'm calling the police!
Bob
No way, dad. This was free beer, dad. There's more outside.
Dad
How much more?
Doug
Oh, about ten or twelve cases. We got jobs at Elsinore brewery. We
work there now, eh?
Dad
Do you hear that, honey? They got JOBS! They got FREE BEER!
Hahahahahah!
[Bob and Doug go to retrieve more beer]
Bob
We're really in good with our folks now, eh?
Doug
Yeah, well let's not blow it by sleeping in and being late for our
first day on the job.
Bob
Well, why don't we stay up all night?
Doug
Beauty.
Dad
Honey, call the neighbors! Never mind, I'll do it myself! [on phone]
Hey George, the boys got jobs!
[Neighbors wake up and tell dad to shut up]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[SCENE TEN -- Brewery--Pam walks in, sees Bob and Doug sleeping on
couch in lobby]
Secretary
They were here when I got here.
Pam
Guys!
Bob
Shut up, ma. [wakes up] Oh, geez! Good day, eh? We got here too
early...we was just waiting.
Pam
Well where's Henry Green? Weren't you supposed to meet him here?
Bob
Geez, I just got up, eh? I don't know.
Pam
Ok, well come on. You can't leave this mess here, so I'll show you to
the cafeteria and then we can go and find Henry Green, ok?
Bob [to Doug]
Get up!
[Bob and Doug bonk heads and begin fighting]
[cut to cafeteria]
