With every fiber of my being I stab at thee, as long as blood flows through this heart I will hunt you down. I will be the stuff of your children's nightmares.
And then, when nothing can be heard but your cries of agony, I will pull the chain and let the beast devour you. Mark my words: I will have my revenge, DR. VENTURE!
Doctor Orpheus did this! To exact proper retribution, (he produces a business card with a flourish) you can find me at this address! (as an afterthought) Nights only.
MThe Monarch
What? What did I do?
(The Intangible Fancy, an ethereal, ghost-like villain, appears behind The Monarch)
IFThe Intangible Fancy
When the sun sleeps... the wolves begin to howl.
MThe Monarch
(bewildered) What the hell is going on here? Did somebody put a sign on my back or something?
Here I am, in the belly of the beast, and I don't even care. (indicating a gadget nearby) I don't even feel like taking a whiz on this. I used to DREAM of taking a whiz on this!
You're on thin ice here, but do you get off the ice? Hell no, you jump up and down like a lunatic having a..a conniption fit. Now if it was up to me, you'd have been in chains an hour ago. But this is a trial by jury and it's up to your peers...
MThe Monarch
Peers?
JJudge
(cont'd) ...to decide this.
MThe Monarch
PEERS?! How dare you! That repulsive display of humanity out there? NO WAY! A list of my peers would read as follows: Flying Squid and Tigeriffic; Truckules; Lord Mostly-Magic; King Fantastic Outfit; Fee Waybill of the Tubes; SuicideGirl Teagan; Bill "Superfoot" Wallace; Happy-Go-Clucky and Swiss Misstery; Chaka Igloo; and my 8th grade earth science teacher Mr. Tringe! Oh... and Bizarro Oscar Wilde as an alternate.
This all started soon after 'The Flight of the Monarch' was published. A mean little tell-all-book filled with nothing but lies and pictures of also lies.
(flashback to The Monarch's floating cocoon)
MThe Monarch
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
2#24
A book?
MThe Monarch
No, but you would think it was right? You can read it like a book, here I'll show you: (reading) '...riffling through his pockets for change, the Monarch accidentally launches a sodium-pentathol tipped dart deep into his own thigh. Upon hearing a girlish symphony of shrill wails, a waitress comes to his aid...'
2#24
Told you!
2#21
You told me he wouldn't find out.
2#24
You're such a dick! You put his face on the cover!
MThe Monarch
(still reading) 'there she was subjected to a lecture concerning her weight problem and the evils of over... plucking her eyebrows.' Oh, it's almost exactly like a book. There's even some pictures, here's one of me at Danceteria making out with Stiv Bators and Lydia Lunch. (closes book) But this is not a book, this is a suicide note. Good news! The euthanasia will be carried out by me. The author has twenty minutes to seek my aid before I just KILL all of you. You'll find me in my room... crying!
(momentarily panicked, then smoothly recovering) My... tears.
MThe Monarch
(back in the courtroom, present day) Tears?? You have to be kidding me! You know that sick deformed slob was... (shudders) You know he was pounding his invisible meat all over...
Holy crap! (holds book sideways, unraveling a fold-out) Look at your costume! What, did Frank Frazetta design it for you?! It's tiny! I can see your...dirty pillows!
Dr. Venture is rushed to the hospital to have a tumor removed, but the boys mistake his ailment for a pregnancy and decide to run away. After the operation, strange things begin to happen, including the accidental deaths of Hank and Dean Venture.
MThe Monarch
Look, you two, I'm dying in here. Have you heard anything from Dr. Girlfriend?
2#21
We've been calling her every hour, and we keep getting her machine.
MThe Monarch
Did you try the cellular phone?
2#24
Yeah, we followed your instructions to the letter. It's just that...
MThe Monarch
Have you destroyed the giant cocoon headquarters?
2#21
Not yet.
MThe Monarch
Have you sent the charred remains of Wonderboy to his beloved Captain Sunshine?
2#21
Yes.
MThe Monarch
Rewound and returned the director's cut of Working Girl?
2#24
We tried, but..
MThe Monarch
Unleashed the herpes-smeared sexbots upon the traitorous members of the Guild?
2#21
Yep.
MThe Monarch
Filled Phantom Limb's garage with clingy, static-charged Stryrofoam packing peanuts?
2#24
No.
MThe Monarch
Sent apology letters to each of my sponsored Ugandan foster children?
You're probably wondering why you're here, YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU DONE FUCKED UP TOO MANY TIMES! You think you're hot shit in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a dixie cup! And if you keep like you've been doin', this is where heading.
RGRandom Guy
(snickering)
MThe Monarch
Oh, that's funny to you right? Cause you so fuckin bad? I know your type. You think, "I'll just get me a costume and rip off the neighborhood kids." Next thing you know you've got a jet shaped like a skull with lasers on the front.
RGRandom Guy
This is totally gay.
MThe Monarch
What?! You think this is gay, huh? Is that what you fucking said, you scrawny piece of shit? Oh, this isn't gay! But King Gorilla over there is, and I'll bet he can't wait to break off a piece of your dick in his ass! (King Gorilla makes kissing lips)
MThe Monarch
You - get up! I SAID GET THE FUCK UP! What's your name?
YOUR NAME IS BITCH! And I own you. YOU'RE PROPERTY! And when I'm tired of having sex with every hole God drilled in your slender frame - King Gorilla, you got a cigarette? There, I just sold you for a cigarette, and I don't smoke! (pause) Holy shit, you're Dean fucking Venture! King, I gotta buy my bitch back, here's your cigarette.
