Jack and the Beanstalk | Into the clouds. (Scene 7) - A free to read rhymed play!
75
Into the clouds.
Jack
Wow... Everything here is very big! If this was a tree, I'd be a twig. I wish that this was my big house. I bet it has a big, big mouse; or even more, like nine or ten - armies of mice, the size of men. I hear steps, I'd better hide. Why did I come inside?
Lilly
Whomever is here, they'd best watch out. The giant will soon be coming about - soon! Well before noon! He'll use his harpoon and then put you in his spoon! Please come out before he's here. I'm very - nice, so have no fear!
Jack
Hello up there!
Lilly
You'd best beware!
Jack
I'm not scared at all right now. I'm too famished to lift my brow. I've not eaten for a while, you see. Do you have some food to spare - for me?
Lilly
Yes, of course! What will you eat?
Jack
Hmm... a sandwich would be a big treat!
Lilly
Wait right there. Don't move an inch. Making a sandwich will be a cinch!
Jack
That giant lady, familiar she looks. Come to think of it, so do those books. That picture right there; up on the wall - it used to hang in our family's hall! Ooh - I'm about to fuss! The Giant must have stolen all of this from us! Hey lady, come out here please!
Lilly
Yes, Jack? Would you like some cheese?
Jack
That would be great, but I must inquire! Just what in the Giant do you admire?
Giant
Fee! Fie! Fiddle-e-dee! I wonder what the wife is cookin' up for me?
Lilly
He - Me - My - I - did not decide. The Giant is coming. Go and hide.
Jack
What? You did not?
Lilly
No. Now go!
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fan. I smell the likes of an English man But be he living or be he quite not, he'll soon be the stew in my gold-leaf-ed pot!
Lilly
I didn't know you'd be home for brunch, but I've already prepared your lunch. How was your day honey? Was it grand? Did you conquer another man's land?
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fange. Wifee, you are acting strange!
Lilly
No, I'm not. It must be you. In fact my Giant, your lips are blue! I think you must be sick, my fellow. Your head is hot and your face is yellow! Try to listen to the harp's sweet verse and then take a nap before you look, I mean feel much worse.
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fold. I think that I will count my gold. Here is one and here is three. One and three are four, you see. Four and four are eight. Wait! I almost forgot. I didn't count the biggest lot.
Lilly
There's three hundred thousand in that.
Giant
Well - drat! Why did you stop my count.
Lilly
Your total is the same amount - three hundred thousand and eight.
Giant
Lilly, that is great!
Lilly
Alright now, go to sleep. If you must, count some sheep.
Giant
Bring the harp to sing a song.
Jack
(Aside) I hope this doesn't take too long.
Lilly
Here's the harp. She'll sing a tune.
Jack
(Aside) This giant, here, is quite a buffoon.
Harp
I sing this song for great, big Giant. It will make the Giant, compliant. He shall sleep now and not soon awake. He will not make...
Giant
(snore.)
Harp
Jack - his - steak.
Lilly
Alright Jack, it's time to pack. Don't forget your knapsack.
Jack
Thank you lady. What is your name?
Lilly
My name is Lilly. Now stop being silly. Get your things and go. The Giant will awake. You'll be his steak! Don't make his belly grow!!
Jack
Don't worry about me Lilly. You're the one that's silly. Why do you stay with him? He's so - grim.
Giant
Fee!
Jack
You see, I don't understand. Is this not a liberated land?
Giant
Fie!
Lilly
You're going to make me - sigh. No. This land is not free.
Jack
I see.
Giant
Foe!
Lilly
Jack, hurry up and go.
Jack
Alright, but I'll soon be back.
Lilly
Wait! You forgot your - knapsack.
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Feam. I'm having a very good dream...
Lilly
Did you hear what he said? Giant dearie, lift your head! The boy will soon be on is way back! Get ready for the boy with the little knapsack!
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fired. I can't do anything - I'm too tired!
Lilly
Alright then, I'll think of the plan. I'll get that puny English man!
