BANANA SPLITS....1969

THE GREAT FLEEGALI - G. F. #2

(THE POCKET WATCH)

Curtain scene. Snorky in turban stands on stage left of opening next to Chinese Gong and holding mallet in his trunk.

ANNCR. (V. O.)

"And now we present - - - - "

Fleegle jumps out thru the curtain dressed in turban and cape. He crosses arms and freezes.

ANNCR. (V. O.)

"- - - The Great Fleegali - - -"

Snorky hits gong.

GONG SOUND

Fleegle vibrates and looks at Snorky.

ANNCR. (V. O.)

"- - - in another demonstration of his mystic powers."

Snorky hits gong harder.

GONG SOUND (LOUDER)

Fleegle vibrates even more.

FLEEGLE

"Easy on the gong, Snork'. - - -

For this demonstration of my mystic powers,

I shall require an assistant - (CALLS) BINGO, please assist me."

Bingo enters.

BINGO

"Okay, but don't blame me if something goes wrong."

FLEEGLE

"Nothing can possibly go wrong. Give me your watch."

BINGO

"Here, but be very careful with it. It was my great grandfather's railroad watch, and it is very precious to me."

Bingo hands pocket watch to Fleegle.

FLEEGLE

"Don't worry about your watch. I'm just going to put it into this little bag."

BINGO

"What are you going to do with that hammer?"

FLEEGLE

"I will explain that as we go along."

Fleegle puts bag containing watch onto table, and hammers bag with hammer. Sound of metal and glass breaking.

BINGO

"Are you sure my watch is all right?"

FLEEGLE

"Trust me, Bingo, your watch won't be hurt a bit."

Fleegle holds up bag and shakes it. Sound of pieces of metal and broken glass being shaken in bag.

BINGO

"I think you broke my watch."

FLEEGLE

"Ah Ha! That's the trick! You think your watch is broken, but look at this!"

Fleegle turns bag upside down and pieces of a broken watch pour out onto the table. Bingo looks in horror.

FLEEGLE

"HMM, something went wrong. Oh well (To camera) even the Great Fleegali misses once in a while."

Bingo picks up mallet.

BINGO

"Well, I won't miss the Great Fleegali."

Bingo chases Fleegle around the pad with the mallet. Snorky hits the gong over and over.
