Chapter 11 (Part 1) – The Attendant

(Transcripts may vary slightly from the published recording, because, you know, improvising. Also, grammar and punctuation may be imperfect…because…umm…Astral Plane.) 

[Outdoor Scene. Sounds of Engine Being Worked On.]

Mac: I’ll just give this one more turn. There. Okay, try it again.

[Sound of Engine Starting]

Mac: There’s the sound I love to hear. Alright, traveler, you are ready to go. Stay safe out there now. Watch for potholes.

Tendy: Hey, look at you, Mr “I Have No Purpose”. You fixed a Skylark.

Mac: Sure did.

Tendy: What was wrong with it?

Mac: Nuthin’. See ya later, friend!

Tendy: What do you mean nothing?

Mac: I mean, there was nothing wrong with their car.

Tendy: Then what were you doing out here this whole time?

Mac: I dunno. I was feelin’ a little stressed, and thought it might be fun to work on a Buick, but Skylarks never break down, so I had to pretend. Now I feel better.

Tendy: Pretend?

Mac: Yep, told the traveler their car had a broken alternator, then I broke their alternator, and then I fix their alternator. I do that sometimes.

Tendy: Really? You break things when you’re stressed, and then fix the thing you just broke. How often do you do that?

Mac: Not often. Like I said, usually just if somethin’s really stressin’ me out or makin’ me mad. You know. Like they say, break it till you make it.


Tendy: I don’t think anybody says that.

Mac: So, anyways, not only did I relieve some of my stress, but I also got to feel really helpful.

Tendy: But, you weren’t being really helpful.

Mac: And you’re not being helpful right now, Judgy McJudgerson. Stop being my moral compass, Tendy, and start enaaabling me.

Tendy: Uh, no.

Mac: Suit yourself. I’m goin’ back inside for a snack. Join me, Tendy. Let us celebrate a job well done.

Tendy: I’ll have to cancel my other plans, but, sure.

[Indoor Scene]

Cash: Were you able to fix the travelers car, Mechanic?

Mac: That I was, Cash, that I was.

Cash: Glad to hear it. And were you able to speak with HueHue about my request?

Mac: I was. So I went up the mountain, and I covered up the cave entrance with some of the biggest rocks I could find, and spoke to HueHue. He’s assigned two coyotes to keep watch on the cave. He’s also havin’ em keep an eye on the highway while they’re at it, just in case someone enters our sphere that poses a risk.

Your soldier frame is gonna be fine up there, Cash, don’t worry. Cause, when you worry, I worry. And when I worry, I break stuff.

Cash: Break stuff?

Tendy: Cash, are you sure you don’t want to just move your soldier frame from the cave to the station? You could hide it in the basement. It’d be less distance for you to transmit.

Cash: Thank you, Attendant, but that won’t be necessary. I’m able to transmit to the station just fine as it’s within range. Though I have been thinking about something.

Tendy: What’s that?

Cash: Well, I’m able to transmit from the mountain cave to the station allowing me to control this unit.

Tendy: Right.

Cash: But with a stronger signal I could likely transmit much farther. It’s possible I could even reach the other Cash Units scattered across the Astral Plane.

Tendy: But how? Where could we find a transmitter that powerful?

Cash: We already have one. Sort of.

Mac [singing]: Desert Skies FMMMMMMMM

Tendy: Oh, right. What would that take, Cash? Just, plug your soldier frame into the transmitter?

Cash: Yes, but also converting the broadcast signal to a 2.4 GHz ISM Band modulated with Frequency-shift keying to encode the carrier signal. But also, we would require a huge amount of energy to increase the signal beyond it’s current capacity.

Tendy: Oh. That’s all. Listen, Cash, Xochitlicue could have come to the Desert Sphere long ago. She hasn’t. Maybe she never will. She’s probably forgotten all about you.

Cash: You don’t know her Attendant. Corson was right, she’s vengeful. She won’t stop. Not for anything. Once she and the others have completely destroyed the highway, she’ll come for me and for the station.

Mac: Can we talk about something else, please? Seriously, this stuff is starting to make my tummy hurt.

Tendy: It’s going to be okay, Mac, but we can’t afford to not talk about it. We have to be prepared.

Mac: Yeah, I know. It’s just. A lot. I still haven’t learned how to play the guitar and it’s a token, so it has to be important, right? And Cash is my friend and I don’t want nothing to happen to her. And Shirley’s left the station to find her dad and we haven’t heard anything for ages. And the old attendant is out there tryin’ to rescue the Prime Mover from Xochitlicue, and Mesonia said I’m supposed to fix the Astral Plane and I can’t decide which burrito I wanna eat, and I wanna start smoking again but I quit even though I’m dead and…

I just need a break.

Tendy: I get it, Mac. You should take a break. I can handle the next few travelers that come in. You should take a moment to chill in the basement. Cash can play you some nice music, maybe print out some childhood memories from old traveler bios. I’ll even microwave you a couple burritos and bring ‘em down.

Mac: You guys would do that for me?

Tendy: Of course.

Cash: It would be our pleasure.

Mac: Well, thank you, guys. I’m definitely taking you up on it. When I come back up, I’ll be a brand new, refreshed, not-stressed, remarkably-blessed, leisurely dressed…

[Lightning Crashes]

Tendy: Thunder? But that would mean…

HueHue: Barks from outside

Door Opens


Mac: Hey bud, what’s up?

HueHue: Bark

Mac: HueHue says the coyote crew spotted a Skylark entering the Desert Sphere coming from the Forest Sphere. Says they’re going real fast.

Sound of Engine approaching Station. Driveway bell. Brakes squeal comes to complete.

Door Opens

Cash: Corson!

Corson: What’s up bitches, etc. Cash, baby, I think we’re going to need the you know what of yours.

Cash: It’s okay, Corson. I told them.

Corson: Wonderful. Get that soldier frame down here. Mechanic! What does this station have in terms of weapon defenses apart from the aforementioned laser-armed lady?

Mac: Uh, weapon defenses? Shirley! you’re safe! And Attendant.

Dale: Hello, Mechanic.

Shirley: Daddy’s in a whole lot of pain, Mechanic. Let’s get some shack juice in him, stat. 

Mac: Whole lotta pain? What happened? Is he hurt?

Dale: Quit coddlin’ me Shirl. A few scratches. It’s not like I can die. For now, let’s get the Prime Mover out of the trunk and find a place to hide him till he comes to.

Tendy: Get the….what?! The Prime Mover is in the trunk?

Corson: Mechanic! Weapons, what have we got? You’ve got a dozen or more rebel sphere movers headed this way and they’re not happy.

Mac: A dozen sphere movers?

Shirley: But first, Shack juice, Mechanic. Please, now.

Dale: Prime mover first, Shirl. Priorities.

HueHue: Barks.

Lightning intensifies

Corson: Mechanic, are you paying attention?

Mac: I…I, uh.

Shirley: Please, Mechanic. Daddy…

Mac: But I just…

HueHue: Barks 

Sound of Mac punching something metal. Voices become silent.

Tendy: Mac?

Mac: Look at that. Somethin’s wrong with the coffee machine. I better fix this. Excuse me. Ope, excuse me. Watch your feet. (Singing) The attendant has a first name it’s TENDY. The attendant has a second name, but it can’t be…”

Corson: What in the hell was that? 

Dale: Break it till you make it
Tendy: Break it till you make it

Door Opens and Closes

Intro Theme Plays

Shirley: Well, I’m not sure how long I’ve been gone but apparently long enough for the cheese to slide off his cracker.

Tendy: Well, thanks everyone for breaking my mechanic. Look, Corson, Shirley, Mr. Edwards, before we do anything, we have to acknowledge that yelling over one another is going to lead to nothing but confusion. Look, I’m the Attendant. This station is my responsibility. Somebody needs to help me understand what’s happening. Who wants to explain what’s going on? 

Shirley: Daddy, I suppose you can provide the fullest picture. But you’re in no shape to share at the moment.

Dale: Course I ‘am, Shirl. I’ve been beat up plenty worse than this before, and at least here, you don’t stay hurt too long. Help me over to the table. Let’s all sit down.

Tendy: And the Prime Mover? Is he really in the trunk? Do we need to get him out?

Dale: Nah, he’s good for now. We’ll get to that. I’ll do my best to explain the situation, Attendant, but please know that as soon as this story is finished, we have work to do. Though, I don’t know exactly what that work looks like yet. I suppose we’re depending on you to figure that out. Hopefully this story will help with that.

Tendy: I understand.

Dale: But before we start. Cash, it’s so good to see you again.

Cash: You as well, Attendant.

Dale: Call me Dale. And you Attendant, it’s good to see you again.

Tendy: I’d say the same, but, I don’t remember ever meeting you.

Dale: No, I don’t suppose you would, but we have met. Looks like you’ve settled in just fine. Now, I’ll tell you what I know…

FLASHBACK. Transition Music. Outdoor scene.

Dale (Narrate): Shirley said that she told you about my visions, back on the Physical Plane. Well, for the longest time I didn’t remember anything about that. I’m sure you can relate. Just woke up standing behind that counter. 

Dale: Where am I?

CASH REGISTER (Robotic Voice): Greetings, Attendant. I am your Computational Assistance and Service Help Register. You may call me, Cash.

Dale: Cash? Attendant? What’s happening? What’s goin’ on?

CASH REGISTER: Initiating orientation process. Attendant, the building that you occupy is called Desert Skies. It’s an Astral Plane Fuel and Service Station. The Astral Plane is a plane of existence that exists between the Physical Plane and the Next Plane of Existence, the essence of which remains unknown….

Dale (Narrate): The register went on like that for hours or so, telling me everything I needed to know about running the station, assistin’ travelers. It’s funny though. Even though I couldn’t remember nothin’ bout  the Physical Plane, I felt like I already knew everything about running a gas station. Something about it was second nature. Job came pretty easy.

Then they started.

Tendy: What started?

Dale: The visions. One day I was outside just looking up at the stars. Somethin’ I did often. You know, every sky is different on every sphere, but there’s no sky in the Astral Plane that can hold a candle to the one here. I have missed it.

Anyways, one night I was looking up at the stars, pondering the mysteries of life and death, when the stars began shifting, coming together, and forming shapes. I saw two faces, I saw you, and I saw the Mechanic.

Then I heard a voice in my head. Clear as I’m speaking to you now. It said,

Behold the stewards of the Sphere
And gaze upon them true
For every soul in every sphere
Relies upon these two

The one will break the broken

The other one will mend

For one, the job continues

For one, the job will end

Tendy: What do you mean for one, the job will end?

Dale: I can’t say. I don’t know. This vision. I saw it many times, and the voices returned to me always with the same message. But no explanation. And then, one day….

…He arrived.

Car Arrives

Dale: Greetings, Traveler. Welcome to Desert Skies. Oh my Lord, it’s you…

Mac: Where am I?

Dale: I think you’re my Mechanic.

Mac: Mechanic? You’ve gotta be shittin’ me, friend. Do my hands look like they’re covered in grease?

Dale: Well, no. But, listen, Traveler…I know this is gonna…

Mac: Not a mechanic, no sir, but I do love a good car.

Dale: That’s good, because…

Mac: Who’s this Skylark belong to? A pristine ‘61 Skylark. It’s not mine and I don’t know why I was driving it. But Hooo damn, it is a sight. How much for it?

Dale: The Skylark? You’re certainly not gonna need it, son.

Mac: Need it? What does need have to do with it? I just want to add it to the collection. Need. Hmph. You sound like wife number 1 and number 3. Need? Look at me sir? Do I look like I need a car?  I want it. And I can pay for it. 1961. Good God. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. The new ones ain’t too bad though. I actually just bought one. Not for me, but…

This place. It’s beautiful. I’ve never seen stars like that.

Dale: It is beautiful indeed. And I’m glad to hear you say that. Because you’re going to be here a long time.

Mac: Be here a long time? Are you kidding? I don’t know where I am, but I need you to tell me how to get home. Tonight’s an important night for me, and they’re probably wonderin’ where I…

Dale: You’re dead, son.

Mac: I’m… I’m sorry, what did you say…

Dale: You know what? Forget it. You want that car? That’s fine. Come inside and we’ll figure out some kind of agreement.

Transition to Present

Dale: When we brought him inside I told him to type his name into the CASH register and hit enter. He didn’t hesitate.  After he hit that key, his memories were erased and we got to work.

Tendy: You tricked him. That seems kind of wrong. A little dishonest.

Corson: And here I’m the one who’s always accused of lying.

Dale: Maybe it was a little deceitful. But I couldn’t risk him trying to get back to the physical plane.

Buzzing sound from Intercom

Dale: What’s that?

Tendy: It’s Mac. He’s in the basement.

Mac: Cash!

Cash: Mechanic?

Mac: Can I get like a real basic drum beat playin’ down here?

Cash: Sure thing, Mechanic. Acoustic or synthesized?

Mac: I dunno. Surprise me.

Cash: Very well. Playing now.

Dale: The basement. It’s here on this plane. I’ll be….


Tendy: Mac sounds like he’s doing better. Maybe we should invite him to join us.

Cash: I believe the Mechanic could benefit from more time alone, Attendant. This conversation could send him into another fit.

Tendy: Yeah, you’re right, Cash. Mr. Edwards. What happened next?

Shirley: Daddy. Are you sure you have the strength to continue?

Dale: I’m good, kiddo. Feelin’ better every moment. Something about bein’ back here is good for me. Anyways, like I was sayin’. After I’d got him to enter his name into the register he became the Mechanic. But there was someone missin’. Someone from my vision who was yet to arrive…

Transition to Flashback – Interior Station

Mechanic: Where does Astral Fuel come from? It’s probably best not to know. But it’s good for washin’ hands, before you eat a delicious burrito…


Door Opens – Attendant (Edwards) enters.

Dale: Mechanic, I hope you tossed two of those in there.

Mechanic: Nope, but you tell me what kind you like and I will be quick to oblige.

Sound of Car Approaching

Dale: I’ll take a rain check, Mechanic. It’s time to get back to work.

Mac: Nah, you stay in here. Let me handle this one. Besides, this would’ve been like my 8th burrito since the last traveler. Larry’s Lobster with melted butter. I know you like that one.

Dale: You know me well, Mechanic. I could use a small break.

Mac: Alright, time to go say hello. 

Dale: Cash

Cash On Sound

Cash: Yes, Attendant.

Dale: I just can’t get used to your new voice, register, or everything else that’s changed about you.

Cash: It was an extensive system update, Attendant.

Dale: I’ll take your word for it. Cash, I need you to request some more hand soap. The Mechanic has been washing his hands with gas again.

Cash: Placing the order now….

Door Bursts Open

Tendy: Send me back.

Dale: Whoa. That’s not how it works, son.

Tendy: Send me back, n-zap-ow!


Dale: I know you. You’re…

Tendy: Look, I know I died, but I can’t. I can’t be dead. Do you understand? I have to go back. She’s all alone now. She’s all alone. It’s my fault. Please, I have to go b-zap-ack…

Dale: Okay. Okay son. Calm down. I think I can help. Come here behind the counter. Type your name into the computer.

Tendy: Why? Will it send me back?

Dale: Just type your name.

Tendy: Why are you looking away?

Dale: Because I shouldn’t see it. I don’t think I’m supposed to know…

Tendy: Not supposed to… Fine. Whatever. 

Sound of keyboard typing

Tendy: There you go. Name typed. Now what?

Dale: Just hit enter.

Tendy: I’m sorry for yelling.

Dale: That’s okay.

Tendy: If I hit enter, it will send me back?

Dale: Let’s give it a try son. Won’t hurt nothin’.

Tendy: Okay, here goes nothin…

Keyboard Sound

Transition Back to Present

Tendy: And then I was the Attendant. And you were gone.

Dale: As soon as you hit enter, I snuck outside. The Mechanic was in the driveway attending to your car. I wanted to say goodbye to Mac, but he wouldn’t have understood. Hell, I didn’t understand. All of sudden I had my memories back. I knew my name. I remembered my visions back on the Astral Plane. I remembered you, Shirl, and your mom.

And as those memories flooded back I suddenly had this strong urge to go. To get out there on the Astral Plane. So I waited on the side of the station until the mechanic was back inside, and then I took the car meant for you

Tendy: Where did you go?

Dale: I went just about everywhere. I saw things unimaginable. It’s funny. As the Attendant, you send so many people down that road. Sure, you tell em about rest areas and communication stations, but you have no clue that you’re sending them on the most remarkable journey. That what they see, what they experience, will change them, eternally. The Astral Plane is a wondrous place, Attendant.

Corson: You know what’s remarkable? How close you all are to being destroyed. I may be a sphere mover but even I can’t protect you from what’s coming this way. While we’re in here playing Old Attendant Storytime Happy Hour, forces are gathering.

Tendy: What forces?

Corson: Attendant, are you afraid of me?

Tendy: Yeah, I guess.

Corson: Compared to what’s coming this way I’m about as scary as Lord Licorice.

Tendy: Mr Edwards?

Dale: There’s one last part of the story I still must tell and this part is where our mutual friend here becomes part of the story.

Corson: Oh, goodie. I love stories where I foolishly embark on ridiculous endeavors that would end my comfortable existence and put all of the Astral Plane in mortal danger

Dale: I knew Corson was clever. Did you know he tried to steal my mechanic?

Tendy: Yes, actually.

Corson: Bitches, please.

Dale: Like I said, I knew he was clever so I recruited his help.

Transition to a flashback


Dale: The Astral Plane is in danger. 

Corson: Look, if it puts you at ease, I did not take the Mechanic and I have no intention to. I’ve actually grown a little fond of that station and its staff.

Dale: If that’s true, then help me save it. Save the station, save the plane.

Corson: I don’t follow.

Dale: You don’t have to. You just have to help me.

Corson: What are you asking me to do exactly?

Dale: Help me break into Xochilique’s palace.

Corson: That’s why you were imprisoned! No wonder she locked your ass up! Are you insane, man? Breaking into the home of a sphere mover? What on earth for?

Dale: There’s something in there that I have to….borrow.

Corson: Borrow my ass. What could be so important that you’d risk your very existence to steal it?

Dale: I don’t know, but it’s something, of great importance.

Corson: Ohhhh, it’s something of great importance. You know what’s of great importance to me? Not starting a war with some psychotic sphere mover? My privacy, that’s important, thanks for coming by uninvited. My games, very important.

What’s not important to me, Attendant, is whatever it is you’re thinking of trying to steal.

Dale: She’ll kill her.

Corson: I’m sorry, kill who?

Dale: You know who.


Corson: I’m afraid I don’t.

Dale: Cash is in danger Corson. I know you helped her when she was running from Xochitlicue. I know about her soldier frame hiding in the mountain behind the station. When Xochitlicue comes to destroy the station, she will find her and she will tear her metal body in two.


Corson: How could you have possibly known?

Dale: They show me.

Corson: Who shows you?

Dale: I don’t know, Corson. But I see them. These visions. I see some of what’s happened, I see some of what’s happening, and I’ve seen the worst of what will happen if we don’t retrieve whatever is hidden in the dungeons of that palace. Will you help me?

Corson: On one condition. Will you become my non-voluntary gaming partner for all of eternity?

Dale: Absolutely not.

Corson: Fine. Let’s go bitch.

Dale: We took to the highway, what remains of it, and traveled across the spheres.

Tendy: But I thought the highway couldn’t be traveled by malevolent sphere movers. I assumed that’s why they’re trying to destroy it…

Dale: Very good, there is an enchantment on the highway, meant to protect travelers from the sphere movers who would seek to do them harm. That’s why Xochitlicue and her cohorts are using their combined powers to destroy it. Corson here…

Corson: I seek no one’s harm, Attendant. I fantasize about it, sure, but….

Dale: Anyways. When we arrived at Xochitlicue’s palace, we enacted our plan

Knock Knock – Door Opens

Xochi: It can’t be. I thought I heard thunder.


Corson: Hello.

Xochi: My dear, dear Corson. After our last meeting, I was certain that you’d decided you would not be joining our little band of rebels.

Corson: Oh, but, I may be having a change of heart.

Xochi: Oh?

Corson: Xochitlicue, you yourself have told me of your immense power, of your armies of humans who you would use to bring the Astral Plane to its knees.


Xochi: My humans hinge on my every word Corson. They really are remarkable. I’d have so many more if they hadn’t built that highway.

Corson: Sure. Sure. But, where are they?

Xochi: (Laughs) I don’t keep the entirety of my army in my palace, Corson. Could you imagine the smell? No, there is only a small garrison here for security purposes. The others are, preparing…

Corson: Preparing for what?

Xochi: All in good time. You haven’t even made a decision yet.

Corson: I just want to make sure I’m joining a winning team, my dear.

Xochi: It is important to give weight to such important choices. But know, if you do not join me, then you are against me, and there’s only one way that will end…

Corson: Ah yes, I know how games work.

Xochi: I know you do.

Corson: Very well, show me this small garrison you’ve kept in your palace. Your…security.

Xochi: Very well. They’re stationed all around the palace so follow me and you will see…

Corson: No!

Xochi: I’m sorry.

Corson: No. If they truly do heed your commands, show me. Call them all here, into your great hall.. Let me see how quickly they obey. Let me see them in formation. Synchronization is imperative. Show me them together.

Xochi: Very well. CLAP CLAP. RUMBLING SOUND AND MARCHING.

Corson: This is your small garrison?

Xochi: But a small fraction of my army.

Corson: Terrifying.

ALARMS SOUNDING

Xochi: The alarms. What’s happening? Where is it coming from?

Human: It’s coming from the dungeon, my lady.

Xochi: The dungeon? But that’s…Corson! You sneaky conniving disappointment of a sphere mover. Is this your doing? Corson? Corson, where are you???

OUTSIDE

Corson: Did you get it?

Dale: I got it.

Corson: Well, what is it?

Dale: It’s a box.

Corson: And….

Dale: I couldn’t open it.

Corson: Well, there’s no time now.

Xochi: (Yelling) Come back here with him!

Dale: Him?

Xochi: I will crush you, Corson. Bring me back the Prime Mover now!!!!

Corson: The Prime Mover!?! Is in that box?

Dale: My God. We have to get him out of here. Let’s find a place to hide.


Corson: Wait, do you see that?

Dale: See what?

Corson: There. Headlights.

Dale: I’ll try to stop it.

Car comes to a screeching halt. Door opens

Shirley: You damn fool! I almost ran you over! Standing in the middle of the highway! Well, where the highway used to be! Why don’t you be more caref…daddy?

Dale: Daddy? What do you mean, daddy?

Shirley: Daddy, it’s me. Shirley.

Dale: Shirl? It can’t be. You’re…you’re…

Shirley: Old? Yes, older than you.

Dale: Still as beautiful as the day I died. Come here. God, I’ve missed you, baby girl.

Shirley: I’ve missed you too, Daddy.

Corson: Beautiful. Lovely. Bitchy reunion. But let’s GO..

Shirley: Daddy, are you in some kind of trouble?

Corson: Behind you!!!

Dale Edwards Exclaiming As He’s Lifted From the Ground

Xochi: What do we have here? You stole my box, you nasty little man. Soldiers, seize them.

Shirley: Get your hands off me.

Corson: Put that attendant down, bitch! I mean…

Xochi: Attendant? You don’t mean. Here? In my hands.

Corson: That’s not the Attendant you want, Xochitlicue.

Xochi: I would believe you Corson, but of course I don’t.

Xochi: First, I’ll take this. Thank you. And now, Attendant, I shall remove you from existence itself. It shall be as if you never existed.

Corson: I’m warning you. Takes your hands off him or I’ll…

Xochi: You’ll what, Corson? Deduct points from me.

Corson: Put him down!

Xochi: Now watch, and see what true power looks like!

Corson: I said put him down, bitch!

Lightning Strikes Loudly – Xochitlicue screams – Dale Edwards falls – Soldiers Gasp

Xochi: Corson, but how did you??

Corson: Old woman, grab your Father and let’s go.

Shirley: Daddy, you’re hurt.

Dale: Just help me up, Shirl.

Xochi: The ability to strike me down with lightning will not save you. Not when it matters. You’re making a terrible mistake, Corson.

Corson: See, that’s the difference between you and I. I make mistakes all the time. But you, you are a mistake, bitch. A blight on the face of the Astral Plane. Now, I’ll take this.

Xochi: We’re coming, Corson, and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.

Sound of car starting and driving aways

Transition to Present Day

Dale: I don’t know how much, if any of that, is helpful, Attendant.

Tendy: Well, I’m glad you’re okay. That sounds like it was pretty scary, and could have gone worse. I don’t know what to do, I have to think about it.

Corson: I’m not trying to be rude, honestly, I’m not. Attendant, I’m worried that there may be no hope. We’ll just do what we can with what we have. We can’t just wait for an answer to fall out of the sky.

Tendy: Out of the sky. Corson, you attacked Xochitlicue with lightning. You can control it.

Corson: Oh, that. Well. That’s never happened before. Perhaps, perhaps, I could try. But why? When she arrives it will be with the full force of, not only her army, but with the other turned sphere movers and their armies as well.

Tendy: Then let’s meet them with an army of our own.

Cash: Attendant? What do you mean?

Tendy: I have an idea. I have to go tell Mac

EXTERIOR SCENE

Tendy: Mac, are you down there?

Mac: Comin’ up now, bud.

Tendy: Mac, I have to tell you something.

Mac: I have to tell you something too.

Tendy: What in the hell is that behind you?

Mac: Excuse me, don’t you mean, who the hell is that behind me?

Tendy: Look, it doesn’t matter.

Mac: Tendy

Tendy: Mac

Mac: I know how we’re going to save the Astral Plane

Tendy: I know how we’re going to save the Astral Plane

OUTRO
