Chapter 9

Foam Wrecker!

 

in which Scred and Peuta do some light reading

 

(January 10, 1976 -- host Elliott Gould)

 

 

[ Queen Peuta and Scred are browsing through The Joy of Sex. ]

 

Scred

 

Well, what'll it be tonight, your horniness? Shall we wrap ourselves in linguini? Or shall I just play with your moogies? Hee hee hee...

 

Peuta

 

SCRED!  [ POW! ]

 

Scred

 

Oh, oh oh oh. Hmmm. That was kinda nice. I like that too. Hit me again!

 

Peuta

 

Ohhh... when will you ever grow up? All you men make sex sound so... so vile.

 

Scred

 

[ looking through the book: ] WOW... Hey, Peuta, could we start right here on page 92? Look at that picture! How do they make their bodies do that, anyway? [ He tries to crane his neck into the pose. ] Owww. 

 

Peuta

 

Scred, stop that!

 

Scred

 

Hmmm?

 

Peuta

 

I want to talk to you about something very serious.

 

Scred

 

Ohhh... can't it wait?

 

Peuta

 

I mean, right NOW!  [ POW! ]

 

Scred

 

Wow. I love a woman who takes charge.

 

Peuta

 

Scred, Scred, Scred! This affair of ours can't go on any longer. I'm starting to feel so guilty about it.

 

Scred

 

Guilty? Why, we've been meeting like this for four hundred years! It's kinda fun!

 

Peuta

 

Ha ha... I know, but still and all, darling, it bothers me that Ploobis doesn't know about us.

 

Scred

 

Okay. I'll tell him. Sometime.  [ He nuzzles Peuta, kissing her neck. ]

 

Peuta

 

No, Scred... you must tell him NOW! Otherwise... you'll have to do without!

 

Scred

 

Without what?

 

Peuta

 

Without... THIS!  [ She raises her shirt to flash her moogies. ]

 

Scred

 

Oh, NO!

 

Peuta

 

Think about it, Scred!  [ She walks off with her nose in the air. ]

 

Scred

 

Ohhh... what a dilemma! Wow. Without Peuta, I'd just DIE! But if I tell Ploobis... he'll KILL me! Ohhhh... 

 

[ Cut to: King Ploobis at his desk, writing a letter. ]

 

Ploobis

 

Gruuhhhrrr... Dear Abby... 

 

[ Scred enters. ]

 

Scred

 

Hey, Ploobis! I gotta talk to you about something.

 

Ploobis

 

Not NOW, can't you see I'm busy?  [ POW! ]

 

Scred

 

Heyyy... he's almost as good as Peuta!

 

Ploobis

 

Scred... I'm very upset.

 

Scred

 

Ohhh... what's wrong, your cuckoldness?

 

Ploobis

 

Well, you know I've been married to Peuta for over six centuries...

 

Scred

 

Mmm hmm...

 

Ploobis

 

Mostly, it's been a happy marriage, but... I think my wife is seeing another man.

 

[ Scred starts to quiver. ]

 

Ploobis

 

Yes, I... I just don't know what to do about it... I think, Scred, I think I may cry.

 

Scred

 

Ohhhh! That's the saddest thing I ever heard!

 

Ploobis

 

Mmm hmmm.

 

Scred

 

Any idea who the rat is?

 

Ploobis

 

No. But I'll tell you one thing... if I ever get my hands on him...  

 

[ Ploobis grabs Scred by the throat... ]

 

Ploobis

 

I'm gonna grab him by the throat... and then I'm gonna twist his neck... and then I'm gonna stick my fingers in his ears... and I'm gonna SHAKE him... until he is DEAD!

 

[ Ploobis throws Scred down on the ground. Scred gasps for air as he gets up. ]

 

Scred

 

WOW! What page is that on?

 

Ploobis

 

Oh, Scred, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you, I just got carried away there, please excuse me, my friend, my pal. Incidentally, uh -- what was it you wanted to talk about?

 

Scred

 

Uhhh... oh, nothing! Just wanted to wish you a nice day! Heh.

 

Ploobis

 

Oh. Yes, it probably is, isn't it. Somewhere...

 

[ Ploobis walks off, the model of dignified sorrow. ]

 

Scred

 

Oh, no. What have I done? Ohhh... imagine me, Scred -- a home wrecker! A ladies' man! A gigolo! Hey, that's kind of exciting... Oh, what am I saying? This is serious! Oh, I've gotta talk to somebody...

 

[ GONNNNG! ]

 

Favog

 

THIS IS THE MIGHTY FAVOG. TALK TA ME.

 

Scred

 

Oh, Favog... I've got a problem!

 

Favog

 

HMMMM. IT'S GONNA COST YA. WHAT IS IT -- BUSINESS, SPORTS OR PERSONAL? 

 

Scred

 

Sexual.

 

Favog

 

AWRIIIIGHT! THAT'LL BE, UH, FOUR CHICKENS.

 

Scred

 

Hmmm. Wow. That's kinda steep.

 

Favog

 

IS THIS REAL JUICY STUFF?

 

Scred

 

Yeah. It's about me and Peuta.

 

Favog

 

AWRIIIIGHT! TWO CHICKENS!

 

Scred

 

And Ploobis...

 

Favog

 

NO CHARGE! AWRIGHT, TALK TA ME. HURRY UP.

 

Scred

 

Oh, I'm really in trouble.

 

Favog

 

YEAH, YEAH?

 

Scred

 

Yeah, ya see...

 

Favog

 

YEAH?

 

Scred

 

Peuta and I have been having an affair.

 

Favog

 

I LOVE IT!

 

Scred

 

Yeah, but the thing is that Peuta says I can't see her anymore, unless I tell Ploobis!

 

Favog

 

MMMM. THAT IS A PROBLEM. 

 

Scred

 

Yeah.

 

Favog

 

BUT YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE. YOU CAN FIND SELF FULFILLMENT BY YOURSELF.

 

Scred

 

What do you mean?

 

Favog

 

LOOK IT UP. PAGE 212 IN THE JOY OF SEX.

 

[ Scred's eyes widen... and he runs off to find his book. ]

Gorch Fact

 

   The more delicate among the Muppet fans may be kind of shocked by the explicit and implied sexual content in this sketch... and guess what? This isn't even the most sexual Gorch sketch. Hang on to your moogies, kids, it gets even more raw in the next chapter...

 

 

Coming up next ...

Chapter 10:  Ring My Bell
