Oh, J-A-N-E-T I love you so. (moves inside church, where caretakers are setting up for a funeral) Janet: Oh, it's nicer than Betty Monroe had. (Oh Brad) Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (Oh Brad) That you met Mom and you know Dad. (Oh Brad) I've one thing to say and that's Brad, I'm mad, for you too. Oh Brad... Brad: Oh... dammit. Janet: I'm mad... Brad: Oh, Janet. Janet: For you. Brad: I love you too. Brad & Janet: There's one thing left to do - ah - oo. Brad: And that's go see the man who began it.

Janet: Oh Brad, I'm mad. Brad: Dammit, Janet. Brad & Janet: I love you. Narrator: I would like, ah, if I may, ...to take you on a strange journey. (goes for black book) (opens book) It seemed a fairly ordinary night when Brad Majors his fiancee Janet Weiss , two young, normal, healthy kids, left Denton that late November evening, to visit a Dr. Everett Scott, ex-tutor, now friend to both of them. It's true there were dark storm clouds. heavy, black, and pendulous, towards which they were driving. It's true, also, that the spare tire they were carrying was badly in need of some air, but, uh, they being normal kids, on a night out... well, they weren't going to let a storm spoil the rest their evening, were they? ...On a night out... it was a night out they were going to remember... for a very long time. Janet: Gosh, that's the third motorcycle that's passed us. They sure do take their lives in their hands, what with the weather and all. Brad: Yes, life's pretty cheap to that type. Janet: Oh. ...What's the matter, Brad darling? Brad: We must have taken the wrong fork a few miles back. Janet: Oh, but where did those motorcycles come from? Brad: Hmmm... well I guess we'll just have to turn back. (BOOM) Janet: Oh! What was that bang? Brad: We must have a blowout. DAMMIT! I knew I should have gotten that spare tire fixed. Well, you just stay here keep warm and I'll go for help. Janet: But where will you go in the middle of nowhere? Brad: ...Didn't we pass a castle back down the road a few miles? Maybe they have a telephone we could use. Janet: I'm going with you. Brad: Oh, no, darling, there's no sense in both of us getting wet. Janet: I'm coming with you! Besides darling, the owner of that phone might be a beautiful woman, and you might never come back. Brad: Heh, heh, heh, heh. (they get out of car, and Brad kicks flat tire) OVER AT THE FRANKENSTEIN PLACE Janet: In the velvet darkness, Of the blackest night, Burning bright, there's a guiding star. No matter what or who you are. Brad & Janet: There's a light... Chorus: Over at the Frankenstein place. Brad & Janet: There's a light... Chorus: Burning in the fireplace. Brad & Janet: There's a light, light in the darkness of everybody's life. Riff Raff: The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming.

Janet: Brad, let's go back, I'm cold and frightened... Brad: Just a moment Janet, they might have a phone. (doorbell rings, door creaks open) Riff Raff: Hello. Brad: Hi! My name is Brad Majors, and this is my fiancee, Janet Weiss. I wonder if you could help us. You see, our car broke down a few miles up the road... do you have a phone we might use? Riff Raff: You're wet. Janet: Yes - it's raining. Brad: Yes. Riff Raff: Yes... I think perhaps you better both come inside. Janet: You're too kind. Oh Brad, I'm frightened. What kind of a place is this? Brad: Oh, it's probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdos. Janet: Oh (forlornly) Riff Raff: This way. Janet: Are you having a party? Riff Raff: You've arrived on a very special night. It's one of the master's affairs. Janet: Oh lucky him. Magenta: You're lucky, He's lucky, I'm lucky, we're all lucky! ha ha ha ha ha (- seven dongs -) THE TIME WARP Riff Raff: It's astounding; Time is fleeting; Madness takes its toll. But listen closely... Magenta: Not for very much longer. Riff Raff: I've got to keep control. I remember doing the time-warp Drinking those moments when The darkness would hit me Riff & Magenta: And a void would be calling... Transylvanians: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Narrator: It's just a jump to the left. All: And then a step to the right. Narrator: With your hands on your hips. All: You bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Magenta: It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me. So you can't see me, no, not at all. In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention, Well secluded, I see all. Riff Raff: With a bit of a mind flip Magenta: You're into the time slip. Riff Raff: And nothing can ever be the same. Magenta: You're spaced out on sensation. Riff Raff: Like you're under sedation. All: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Columbia: Well I was walking down the street just having a think When this snake of a guy gave me an evil wink. He shook me up, he took me by surprise He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change. Time meant nothing, never would again. All: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Narrator: It's just a jump to the left. All: And then a step to the right. Narrator: With your hands on your hips. All: You bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator: With your hands on your hips. All: You bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Janet: Brad, say something. (whispered) Brad: Say, do any of you guys know how to Madison? Janet: Brad, please, let's get out of here. Brad: For God's sake keep a grip on yourself Janet. (music cue softly at first, crescendo up) Janet: But it... it seems so unhealthy here. Brad: It's just a party, Janet. Janet: Well - I want to go. Brad: Well we can't go anywhere until I get to a phone. Janet: Well then ask the butler or someone. Brad: Just a moment, Janet - we don't want to interfere with their celebration. Janet: This isn't the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Brad. Brad: They're probably foreigners with ways different than our own. They may do some more folk dancing. Janet: Look, I'm cold, I'm wet, and I'm just plain scared. (Janet turns to face elevator) Brad: I'm here - there's nothing to worry about (Janet screams) SWEET TRANSVESTITE Frank: How do you do, I See you've met my Faithful handyman. He's just a little brought down Because when you knocked He thought you were the candyman. Don't get strung out by the way I look. Don't judge a book by its cover.

We don't want to be any worry. Frank: Well you got with a flat, well, how 'bout that? Well, babies, don't you panic. By the light of the night it'll all seem alright. I'll get you a satanic mechanic. I'm just a sweet transvestite From Transexual, Transylvania. Why don't you stay for the night? Riff Raff: Night. Frank: Or maybe a bite? Columbia: Bite.

(chuckles) But not the symptom. (applause) (Brad and Janet are given towels and both say thank you) (Columbia and Riff Raff start to undress Brad and Janet) Janet: Oh! Brad! Brad: It's all right Janet. We'll play along for now and pull out the aces when the time is right. Columbia: Slowly, slowly! It's too nice a job to rush. Brad: Hi, my name is Brad Majors, and this is my fiancee, Janet Weiss; you are... Columbia: You're very lucky to be invited up to Frank's laboratory. Some people would give their right arm for the priviledge. Brad: People like you maybe. Columbia: Ha! I've seen it. (Riff Raff pours wine into a glass, takes a swig from the bottle, and lets it drop after Columbia says "Shift it" ) Riff Raff: Come along - the master doesn't like to be kept waiting. Columbia: Shift it. (riff drops the bottle) (Janet screeches - the elevator goes up) Janet: Is he your husband? Riff Raff: The master is not yet married, nor do I expect he ever shall be. We are simply his servants. Janet: Oh. (doors open, panning shot of lab) (shows conventionists on balcony) (they exit the elevator, Janet first, then Brad, Magenta, Columbia, finally Riff Raff Frank: Magenta, Columbia, go assist Riff Raff. I will entertain ...uh huh huh... (chuckles) Brad: Brad Majors. And this is my fiancee, Janet "Vice". Janet: Weiss. Brad: Weiss? um Frank: Enchante. (Janet giggles) Frank: Well! how nice. And what charming underclothes you both have. But here. Put these (smocks) on. They'll make you feel less vulnerable. It's not often we receive visitors here, let alone offer them... hospitality. Brad: Hospitality!? All we asked was to use your telephone, Goddammit, a reasonable request which you've chosen to ignore. Janet: Brad, don't be ungrateful. Brad: Ungrateful! Frank: How forceful you are, Brad. Such a perfect specimen of manhood. So... dominant (crowd has flurry of laughs). You must be awfully proud of him, Janet. Janet: Well, yes I am.

It was strange the way it happened... suddenly you get a break... whole pieces start to fit into place, not a sign of being.. what a fool! The answer was there all the time, it took a small accident to make it happen... AN ACCIDENT Magenta & Columbia: An accident! Frank: And that's how I discovered the secret, that elusive ingredient, that SPARK that is the breath ... Yes, I have that knowledge... I know the secret... to life... itself! You are fortunate for tonight is the night that my beautiful creature is destined to be BORN! (Magenta and Columbia take hold of the cloth) Up now! Throw open the switches on the sonic oscillator... and step the reactor power THREE MORE POINTS! (colorful fluids, etc. in order Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo Violet) (Rocky puts hand over edge of tank) (Rocky emits some gutteral garbage) Frank: Oh! Rocky! THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES Rocky: The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head, And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread. Oh, woe is me, my life is a misery. Oh, can't you see, that I'm at the start of a pretty big downer. I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed. All: That ain't no crime. Rocky: And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread. All: That ain't no crime. Rocky: My high is low, I'm dressed up with no place to go. And all I know is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer. All: Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime. Rocky: Oh ho no no All: Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime.

Frank: Well really. That's no way to behave on your first day out. (Rocky claps bars at top of ladder) Rocky: Ugh Ugh (forlornly like a puppy dog) Frank: But since you're such an exceptional beauty, I am prepared to forgive you. Rocky: Ugh Ugh (applause) (Rocky claps like a child) Frank: Oh, I just love success. Riff Raff: He's a credit to your genius, master. Frank: Yes. Magenta: A triumph of your will. Frank: Yes. Columbia: He's O.K. Frank: o.k. (smacks tank edge) O.K.! I think we can do better than that. Humph! Well, Brad and Janet, what do you think of him? Janet: Well, I don't like a man with too many muscles. Frank: I didn't make him... FOR YOU! He carries the Charles Atlas seal of approval. I CAN MAKE YOU A MAN (part I) Frank: A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds Will get sand in his face When kicked to the ground; And soon in the gym with a determined chin, The sweat from his pores as he works for his cause Will make him glisten and gleam. And with massage, and just a little bit of steam, (runs finger down Rocky's chest) He'll be pink and quite clean He'll be a strong man. Oh honey... All: But the wrong man. Frank: He'll eat nutritious high protein . And swallow raw eggs... Try to build up his shoulders, his chest, arms, and... legs. Such an effort if he only knew of my plan. In just seven days... Frank & Transylvanians: I can make you a man. Frank: He'll do press-ups, and chin-ups, do the snatch, clean and jerk . He thinks dynamic tension must be hard work. Such strenuous living I just can't understand, When in just seven days, oh baby, ...I can make you a man. Columbia: EDDIE! HOT PATOOTIE (BLESS MY SOUL) Eddie: Whatever happened to Saturday night, When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright? It don't seem the same since cosmic light Came into my life, I thought I was divine. I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go, And listen to the music on the radio; A saxophone was blowin' in a rock 'n roll show. You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time. Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n roll. (repeated three more times) (Sax solo) My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled. My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt. I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt And she'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine. Get back in front, put some hair oil on Buddy Holly was singing his very last song. With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along. It felt pretty good. Woo You really had a good time. Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n roll. (... for a total of twelve times) (Frank attacks Eddie with an alpinist's pick) Frank: One from the vaults. (chuckles) (Magenta strips off Frank's bloody gloves) Rocky: Ugh... Frank: Oh baby... Don't be upset... It was a mercy killing... he had a certain naive charm, but no muscle (Rocky flexes a bicep) ...Oh! I CAN MAKE YOU A MAN (part II) Frank: But a deltoid and a bicep. A hot groin and a tricep. Makes me, oooh, shake, Makes me want to Charles Atlas by the ...ha-ha-hand. Frank & Transylvanians: In just seven days I can make you a man. Frank: I don't want no dissention, just dynamic tension. Janet: I'm a muscle fan. Frank: In just seven days, I can make you a man Dig it if you can In just seven days, I can make you a man. (Frank and Rocky's WEDDING MARCH) Transylvanians: Frank and Rocky, rah-rah-rah! Frank and Rocky, rah-rah-rah! Frank and Rocky, rah-rah-rah! Frank and Rocky, rah-rah-rah! Narrator: There are those that say that life is an illusion and that reality is but a figment of the imagination. If this is so, then Brad and Janet are quite safe , ... however, the sudden departure of their host...and his creation...into the seclusion of his somber bridal suite had left them feeling both apprehensive and a feeling which grew as the other guests departed, and they were shown to their separate rooms. (Janet and Brad are shown to their rooms by Riff Raff and Magenta.) (Janet bumps into basin) (Janet sits down abruptly) (Brad enters blue room) (knock) Janet: Uhh! Who is it? Who's there? Frank (Brad): It's only me, Janet. Janet: Oh, Brad darling, come in. Oh! Brad Oh Brad. Yes, my darling...but what if... Frank (Brad): It's all right, Janet, everything's going to be alright. Janet: Oh, I hope so, my darling. Oh...Ah...ahh (accidently pulls off Frank's wig) OHHH! Oh it's you! Frank: I'm afraid so, Janet, but isn't it nice... Janet: Oh, you beast, you monster...Oh what have you done with Brad? Frank: Oh, well, nothing. Why, do you think I should? Janet: You tricked...I wouldn't have...I've never..never... Frank: Yes, yes I know, but it isn't all bad, is it? I think you really found it quite pleasurable. Janet: Oh, stop...I mean help...Brad Brad!..Oh Brad!! Frank: Shhh. Brad's probably asleep by now. Do you want him to see you like...This! (pull her legs up in the air) Janet: Like this..like how??! Oh, it's your fault...you're to blame ...Oh... I was saving myself... Frank: Yes, but I'm sure you're not SPENT yet... Janet: Promise you won't tell Brad? Frank: Cross my heart and hope to die... (assorted sexual noises) (scene with Riff & Magenta, Magenta with a mop) (Riff walks over to Magenta) (Riff walks over to Rocky) (Riff grabs the candelabra) (Riff Raff scares Rocky with a candelabra) (Rocky runs away as Riff cracks his whip) (Rocky climbs down the elevator shaft) (Riff throws candle after him) (Riff approaches Magenta) (scene change to Brad's room) Frank (Janet): Oh, Brad darling, it's no good here. He'll destroy us. Brad: Don't worry Janet, we'll be away from here in the morning. Frank (Janet): Oh, Brad you're so strong and protective. (accidently pulls off Frank's wig) Brad: Ah, ah, ah, oh YOU! Frank: I'm afraid so, Brad, but isn't it nice... Brad: Why YOU! what have you done with Janet? Frank: Nothing. Why? Do you think I should? Brad: You tricked me, I wouldn't have...never...never...never... Frank: Oh Yes yes, I know...but it isn't all bad, is it? Not even half bad, I think you really quite enjoyed it. (Brad starts moaning) Frank: Oh... so soft... Brad: Stop it...stop it...oh Janet...JANET! Frank: Shhh! Janet's probably asleep by now, do you want her to see you... like...this. (pulls his legs up in the air) Brad: Like this, like how? It's your fault, you're to blame, I thought it was the real thing! Frank: Oh come on, Brad, admit it, you liked it, didn't you? It isn't a crime to give yourself over to pleasure, Brad. We've wasted so much time already. Janet needn't know, I won't tell. Brad: Well, promise you won't tell... Frank: On my mother's gra.oouuuuuu.... (BEEPBEEPBEEP...) Riff Raff: Master, Rocky has broken his chains and vanished. Your new playmate is loose and somewhere on the grounds... Magenta has just released the dogs... Frank: mmmm? coming! Janet: Oh, Brad. Brad, my darling, how could I have done this to you? Oh! If only we hadn't made this journey... if only the hadn't broken down... if only we were amongst friends Or sane persons, Oh Brad Oh Brad what have they done with him... (she sees him on TV with Frank) Oh, Brad, Oh Brad, How could you? (she fondles the handle) (Rocky emits moans and general cries of pain) (Rocky gets up) Janet: Oh, but you are hurt...Did they do this to you? I'll dress your wounds... (tears strip off skirt) baby there...let me make it all better. (Rocky touches Janet's hand) (Janet looks to the left) (Janet looks to the right) (Janet smiles) Narrator: Emotion, agitation or disturbance of the mind...Vehement or excited mental state. It is also a powerful and irrational master...and from what Magenta and Columbia eagerly viewed on their television monitor there seemed little doubt that Janet was, indeed, ... its slave. Magenta and Columbia: Tell us about it, Janet. TOUCH-A TOUCH-A TOUCH-A TOUCH ME Janet: I was feeling done in, couldn't win I'd only ever kissed before. Columbia: You mean she... Magenta: Uh huh Janet: I thought there's no use getting Into heavy petting It only leads to trouble And seat wetting. Now all I want to know is how to go. I've tasted blood and I want more. Magenta and Columbia: More, more, more Janet: I'll put up no resistance I want to go the distance I've got an itch to scratch I need assistance. Toucha toucha toucha touch me I want to be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me Creature of the night. (Rocky ducks under Janet's right leg) Then if anything grows, while you pose, I'll oil you up and rub you down. Magenta and Columbia: Down, down, down. Janet: And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction You need a friendly hand and I need action. Columbia: Toucha toucha toucha touch me Magenta: I want to be dirty. Columbia: Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me, Magenta: Creature of the night. Janet: Toucha toucha toucha touch me I want to be dirty Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me, creature of the night. Rocky: Creature of the night Brad: Creature of the night? Frank: Creature of the night. Magenta: Creature of the night. Riff Raff: Creature of the night. Columbia: Creature of the night. Rocky: Creature of the night. Janet: Creature of the night. (scene change, Riff being whipped) Riff Raff: Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Merrrrrcy! (being whipped by Frank) Frank: How did it happen? I understood you were to be watching... Riff Raff: I was only away for a minute...master (Frank whips him backhanded) Frank: Well, see if you can find him on the monitor. Riff Raff: Master, master...we have a visitor. Brad: Hey, Scotty! Dr. Everett Scott. Riff Raff: You know this earthling ...this person? Brad: Why yes. He happens to be an old friend of mine. Frank: I see. So this wasn't simply a chance meeting. You came here with a purpose. Brad: I told you, my car broke down. I was telling the truth. Frank: I know what you told me...but this Dr. Everett Scott, his name is not unknown to me. Brad: He was a science teacher at Denton High School. Frank: And now he works for your government, doesn't he, Brad? he's attached to the bureau of investigation of that which you call UFO's Isn't that right, Brad? Brad: He might be...I don't know. Riff Raff: The intruder is entering the building, master. Frank: He'll probably be...entering the Zen room. Shall we inquire of him in person? (Frank activates electromagnet) (Dr Scott is pulled up a flight of stairs) (Dr Scott is pulled up another flight of stairs) (Dr Scott is pulled around balcony at top of stairs) (Dr Scott is pulled around Magenta and Columbia) (Dr Scott is pulled through laboratory wall) (pause) Brad: Great Scott! Dr. Scott: Frankenfurter, we meet at last. Brad: Dr. Scott! Dr. Scott: Brad! What are you doing here? Frank: Don't play games, Dr. Scott. You know perfectly well what Brad Majors is doing here. It was part of your plan, was it not? That he and his female should check the layout for you. well, unfortunately for you, all your plans are to be changed. You must be adaptable, Dr. Scott; I know Brad is. Dr. Scott: I can assure you that Brad's presence here comes as a complete surprise to me. I came here to find Eddie. Brad: Eddie! I've seen him! Frank: Eddie! What do you know of Eddie, Dr. Scott? Dr. Scott: I happen to know a great deal about a lot of things. You see Eddie happens to be my nephew. (Frank gasps, and turns off electromagnet) Brad: Dr. Scott. Janet: (from inside tank) Ah! (Janet and Rocky stand up in tank, covering themselves with red drape) Dr. Scott: Janet! Janet: Dr. Scott! Brad: Janet! Janet: Brad! Frank: Rocky! (Rocky says nothing, not even a grunt) Dr. Scott: Janet! Janet: Dr. Scott! Brad: Janet! Janet: Brad! Frank: Rocky!

(Rocky says nothing, not even a grunt) Frank: Listen...I made you...and I can break you just as easily. (to Rocky) Magenta: (GONG) Master, dinner is prepared! Frank: Excellent. Under the circumstances, formal dress is to be optional. Narrator: Food has always played a vital role in Life's rituals. The breaking of the bread, the last meal of the condemned man, and then this meal. However informal it might appear, you can be sure that there was to be little, bonhommie. (Dinner is served, the clatter of dishes is heard) (Riff wheels in dinner under a huge silver cover) (Riff opens the lid) (The dinner is plopped on the table) (Frank slices it with the slicer) (Riff and Magenta pour the wine) (Riff deals the meat) Frank: A toast ...to absent friends... All: To absent friends. Frank: and to Rocky. (singing w/ Janet, et al) Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Rocky... (stops, Janet finishing last) Shall we? Dr. Scott: We came here to discuss Eddie. Columbia: Eddie. (Frank threatens her with the slicer) Frank: That's a rather tender subject. Another slice anyone? Columbia: Excuse me (Scream on exit) Dr. Scott: I knew he was in with a bad crowd, but it was worse than I imagined...Aliens! Rocky: Ugh? Brad: Doctor Scott! Frank: Go on, Dr. Scott. Or should I say Dr. Von Scott. Brad: Just what exactly are you implying? Dr. Scott: It's all right! Brad: Doctor Scott! Scott: It's all right, Brad. EDDIE'S TEDDY From the day he was born He was trouble. He was the thorn In his mother's side. She tried in vain Narrator: (displaying a picture of Whistler's Mother) ...but he never caused her nothing but shame. Scott: He left home the day she died. (song picks up speed) From the day she was gone All he wanted Was Rock 'n' Roll porn And a motorbike. Shooting up junk... Narrator: He was a low down cheap little punk! Scott: Taking everyone for a ride. All: When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy You knew he was a no-good kid. But when he threatened your life with a switch-blade knife Frank: What a guy! Janet: Makes you cry. Scott: Und I did. Columbia: Everybody shoved him. I very nearly loved him. I said, hey, listen to me; Stay sane inside insanity! But he locked the door and threw away the key. Scott: But he must have been drawn Into something, Making him warn Me in a note that reads... All: What's it say? What's it say? (closeup of letter) Eddie's voice: I'm out of my hed. Oh, hurry, or I may be dead. They mustn't carry out their evil deeds. (scream) All: When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy You knew he was a no-good kid. But when he threatened your life with a switch-blade knife Frank: What a guy! Janet: Makes you cry. Scott: Und I did. All: When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy You knew he was a no-good kid. But when he threatened your life with (points pen at teddy) a switch-blade knife Frank: What a guy! Janet: Makes you cry. Others: Hey, hey, hey. Scott: Und I did. (Frank pulls tablecloth and dishes off table) (All scream) (All scream) (Janet runs to Rocky's arms) Frank: Rocky! How could you? (slaps Janet) (general mayhem as Frank chases Janet. Riff and Magenta laugh, until Riff suddenly says "Shut up!") WISE UP I'll tell you once; I won't tell you twice. You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss. Your apple pie don't taste so nice. You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss. I've laid the seed; it should be all you need. You're as sensual as a pencil, wound up like an E or first string. When we made it, didja hear a bell ring? Ya gotta block? Well, take my advice. You better wise up, Janet Weiss. The transducer will seduce ya. (throws switch on labratory wall) Janet: My feet! I can't move my feet! Scott: My wheels! My God, I can't move my wheels! (brad tries to move socked feet) Brad: It's as if we're glued to the spot! Frank: You are! So quake with fear, you tiny fools! Janet: We're trapped! Frank: (sung) It's something you'll get used to. A mental mind fuck can be nice. Scott: You won't find Earth people quite the easy mark you imagine. This sonic transducer. it is, I suppose, some kind of audio-vibrato- physio-molecular transport device? Brad: You mean... Scott: Yes, Brad, it's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time. But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it. A device capable of breaking down solid matter an then projecting it through space and, who knows, perhaps even time itself. Janet: You mean he's going to send us to another planet? Frank: Planet, shmanet, Janet! You better wise up, Janet Weiss. You better wise up, build your thighs up, You better wise up Narrator: And then she cried out... Janet: Stop! Frank: Don't get hot and flustered! Use a bit of mustard. Brad: You're a hot dog, but you better not try to hurt her, Frank Furter. (Freeze - Brad) Scott: You're a hot dog, but you better not try to hurt her, Frank Furter. (Freeze - Scott) Janet: You're a hot dog -- (Freeze - Janet) Columbia: My God! I can't stand any more of this! First you spurn me for Eddie, and then you throw him off like an old overcoat for Rocky! You chew people up and then you spit them out again. I loved you.. did you hear me! I loved you! And what did it get me? Yeah, I'll tell you: a big nothing. You're like a sponge. You take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion. Yeah, well, I've had enough. You're gonna choose between me and Rocky, so named because of the rocks in his head. (freeze) Frank: It's not easy having a good time... (freeze Rocky) ...even smiling makes my face ache ...and my children turn on me ...Rocky's behaving just the way Eddie did Do you think I made a mistake, splitting his brain between the two of them? Magenta: Ahhhh! I grow veary of this vorld! Vhen shall ve return to Transylvania, huh? Frank: Magenta, I am indeed grateful to both you and your brother Riff Raff. You have both served me well. Loyalty such as yours shall not go unrewarded. You will discover that when the mood takes me, I can be quite generous. Magenta: I ask for nothing...nothing. Frank: And you shall receive it...in abundance! Come, we are ready for the floor show! Narrator: And so, by some extraordinary co-incidence, fate, it seemed, had decided that Brad and Janet should keep that appointment with their friend, Dr. Everett Scott. But it was to be in a situation which none of them would have possibly forseen. And, just a few hours after announcing their engagement, Brad and Janet had both tasted ...forbidden fruit. This in itself was proof that their host was a man of of little morals ...and some persuasion. What further indignities were they to be subjected to? And what of the floor show that is spoken of? In an empty house? In the middle of the night? What diabolical plan had seized Frank's crazed imagination? What indeed? From what had gone before, it was clear that this was to be no picnic. A. FLOOR SHOW part I ROSE TINT MY WORLD (Frank is running around making preparations while the others are frozen on the stage. He's wearing a thick facial treatment) (unfreeze Columbia) Columbia: It was great when it all began. I was a regular Frankie fan. But it was over when he had the plan To start a-working on a muscle man. Now the only thing that gives me hope Is my love of a certain dope. Rose tints my world, keeps me safe from my trouble and pain. (Unfreeze - Rocky) Rocky: I'm just seven hours old, And truly beautiful to behold. And somebody should be told My libido hasn't been controlled. Now the only thing I've come to trust Is an orgasmic rush of lust. Rose tints my world and keeps me safe from my trouble and pain. (Unfreeze - Brad) Brad: It's beyond me; help me Mommy! I'll be good; you'll see. Take this dream away. What's this? Let's see, I feel sexy! What's come over me? Wo! Here it comes again. (unfreeze - Janet) Janet: I feel released; bad times decrease. My confidence has increased; reality is here. The game has been disbanded; my mind has been expanded. It's a gas that Frankie's landed! His lust is so sincere. FLOOR SHOW part II (Fanfare and RKO logo appears) DON'T DREAM IT Frank: Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate, satin-draped frame? As it clung to her thigh How I started to cry 'cause I wanted to be dressed just the same. (Frank kicks lever, and stairs decend.) Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh. Erotic nightmares, beyond any measure And sensual daydreams to treasure forever. Can't you just see it? Oh, oh, oh. (Frank jumps in pool) (mist blows away) (the other four slowly turn, walk to the pool, and jump in) Don't dream it, be it. (four times) All: Don't dream it, be it. (twelve times) (Unfreeze - Scott. In on sixth time) Scott: Ach! We've got to get out of this trap before this decadence saps our wills. I've got to be strong, and try to hang on, or else my mind may well snap and my life will be lived ...for the thrills! Brad: It's beyond me; help me Mommy! Janet: God bless Lilly St. Cyr. FLOOR SHOW part III WILD AND UNTAMED THING Frank: My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my...my! I'm a wild and an untamed thing. I'm a bee with a deadly sting. You get a hit and your mind goes ping. Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing. So let the party and the sounds rock on. We're gonna shake it 'till the life has gone. Rose tint my world, keep me safe from my trouble and pain. All: We're a wild and an untamed thing. We're bees with a deadly sting. You get a hit and your mind goes ping. Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing. So let the party and the sounds rock on. We're gonna shake it 'till the life has gone. Rose tint my world, keep me safe from my trouble and pain. (Riff and Magenta appear at back of aisle in space-suits. Riff is carrying ray gun) Riff Raff: Frank N Furter, it's all over. Your mission is a failure; Your lifestyle's too extreme. I'm your new commander; You now are my prisoner. We return to Transylvania. Prepare the transit beam. Frank: Wait! I can explain! (Frank whispers instructions to Columbia then Rocky) (Columbia aims and turns on a fresnel stage light) (Rocky flips some switches on the light control board) (Frank is illuminated by a spotlight, his shadow has tufts on his head) I'M GOING HOME Frank: On the day I went away... All: Goodbye... Frank: Was all I had to say... All: Now I... Frank: I want to come again, and stay. All: Oh, my, my... Frank: Smile, and that will mean I may. 'cause I've seen, oh, blue skies Through the tears in my eyes And I realize, I'm going home. All: I'm going home. (Magenta yawns) Frank: Everywhere it's been the same... All: ...feeling... (frank sits on stage edge) Frank: ...like I'm outside in the rain... All: ...wheeling... Frank: ...free to try and find a game... All: ...dealing... Frank: ...cards for sorrow, cards for pain. 'cause I've seen, oh, blue skies Through the tears in my eyes And I realize, I'm going home. Frank & All: I'm going home. (3 times) (applause, then audience dissapears) Magenta: How sentimental. Riff Raff: And also presumptuous of you. You see, when I said WE were to return to Transylvania, I referred only to Magenta and myself. I'm sorry, however, if you found my words misleading, but you see, you are to remain here, in spirit, anyway. Scott: Great heavens! That's a laser! Riff Raff: Yes, Dr. Scott. A laser capable of emitting a beam of pure anti-matter. Brad: You mean...you're going to kill him? What's his crime? Scott: You saw what became of Eddie. Society must be protected. Riff Raff: Exactly, Dr. Scott. And now, Frank N Furter, your time has come. Say goodbye to all of this, and hello to oblivion. (Columbia screams - gets zapped in tits - dies ) (Frank tries to escape by climbing the curtain) (Frank screams - gets zapped, falls) (curtain falls over Frank) (black rope falls on curtain) (Rocky jumps on curtain ) (Rocky unburies Frank, moans over the body, and picks him up) (gets zaped in chest) (gets zaped on back) (gets zaped on shoulder) (Rocky drapes Frank's hand over his shoulder) (starts to climb RKO set) (Frank's body get's zapped) (The set overbalances and they falls into the pool, Rocky dies) Janet: Oh! You killed them! Magenta: But I thought you liked them. They liked you. Riff Raff: They didn't like me! He never liked ME! Scott: You did right. (Riff walks over and points gun at Scott) Riff Raff: A decision had to be made. Scott: You're O.K. by me. (note: READ THE MOVIE SCRIPT) (Puts out hand in shake gesture) Riff Raff: Dr. Scott, I'm sorry about your nephew. Scott: Eddie? Yes, well, perhaps it was all for the best, heh, heh, heh. Riff: You should leave now, Dr. Scott, while it is still possible. We are about to beam the entire house to the planet Transexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania . Go... Now. (Brad and Janet wheel Scott away) Our mission is completed, my most beautiful sister, and soon we shall return to the moon-drenched shores of our beloved planet.

FIN -------------------------------------------------------- Additions: A. as Magenta unbuttons Brad's shirt, yell "introducing the magical buttoning shirt." It seems the scenes were spliced together wrong B. This concerns Janet. As the elevator doors open and the group stands looking, call out 3 times: "get out, slut!" On the 3rd time, she jumps and leaves the cage. When she enters the red room, call out 3 times: "sit down, slut!" On the 3rd time, she jerks and sits down. C. As dinner is being rolled into the dining room, yell: "that Eddie, he has to go everywhere on wheels!"
