Chief, Rockapella and others in “Unfinished Business”

Chief

This is Top Grunge.

Rockapella

(singing) Top Grunge.

Chief

Acts crude, smells even cruder, his stuffy nose needs Roto-Rooter. His last known whereabouts: Zimbabwe. The massive black rhinoceros has roamed Africa for 60 million years. Rhinoceros means nose horn and the black rhino has two that it uses to protect itself. Those horns grow up to three feet long and that makes the black rhino a target for illegal hunters. The horns fetch a high price on the black market where they're often sold to make strange medicines and dagger handles. Hunted to near-extinction, there are fewer than 500 black rhinos left in Zimbabwe. Until today, that is...

Rockapella

(singing) Ooh!

Chief

...when the count struck to naught, Top Grunge zipped into Zimbabwe looking for a new gang to ride with. He regaled the rhinos with tales of his travels so the rhinos decided to hit the road, then like a putrid pied piper, Grunge heisted every last horn. Gumshoes, you've got to round up that rhino rustler and solve today's case...

Rockapella

(singing) Woo-woo-oo-oo

Chief

...I KNOW WHY NO RHINO!

Chief

Greg?

Greg

Yeah?

Chief

Would you come in here, please?

Greg

Yeah, Chief. I'll be right there. Lemme check with the Chief. I'll meet you guys out in the alley in just a moment. You guys come with me (enters the office) Chief, what's up?

Chief

There's something wrong with my darn desk! I can't get any work done! Watch this.

Greg

Okay.

(she picks up a pencil and drops it on the desk)

Voice

Oh.

Chief

See? I does that whenever I try to touch it. Look. (touches her desk)

Greg

Sure.

Voice

Oh. Oh.

Greg

Absolutely. Chief, let me tell you somethin'. (pulls out a stethoscope) It just so happens that I happen to be a board certified deskinarian specializing in desktop medicine.

Chief

You're a what?

Greg

I'm a deskinarian. And I'll tell you what. From what I've heard right now, your desk is in a lotta pain.

Chief

Why would my desk be in pain?

Greg

It could be you know one of many reasons, Chief, but I'll tell you, I'm not gonna waste anymore time. I'm gonna take a look if you don't mind. (places the stethoscope on the desk) Uh, cough please. (the Chief coughs) Not you. I'm talkin' to the--

(the voice coughs)

Chief

Oh! Oh, this is ridiculous. Oh, better do the contest or we'll be here forever. (does the contest rules)

Greg

Lift!

Chief

Lift?

(the desk arises)

Greg

Aha, Chief! (the desk has moving legs) I think I've found the problem. You wanna come down here and take a look? Uh-huh. Let me get that. Here, take a look at this. Right here. (shows a thistle) See that? It's a needle.

Chief

Looks like a thistle to me.

Greg

You're neddle a thistle the thing I have to do here is the same. (pulls out the thistle) All right, that should feel better, boy. I want you to go home and stay in bed for 3 days.

(the desk walks off)

Greg

What?

Chief

Why did you send it home?!

Greg

Chief, it just had major surgery. You can't expect it to go right back to work, and I'll tell you what else. I would get a nice get well card if I were you. Because everyone knows desks have feelings, too. (hands the Chief the thistle and exits the office leaving the Chief crawling while looking for a desk)
