Why it's a private detective's office in a time sort of like the 1940s, can't you tell?" ******************************************** PUMPS AND SPECTATORS - B&B Investigates, episode 2 Cast: Announcer Donna Bella Paul Bette Goldy Tailor - secretary Prince Waldo Charming Baron Alexander/Cindy Espadrille gruff "stepsister" Barbara, housemother/fairy godmother OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a Detective Agency, can't you tell? MUSIC Scene 1. SOUND PHONE RINGS, PICKS UP GOLDY B&B Investigations, may I help you? [beat, then turns belligerent] Look, it ain't gonna happen. ... No. Because the boss don't help no one find tarts. Nope. Never. SOUND HANGS UP DONNA Another missing good time girl? GOLDY Nahhh. Queen of hearts. Ya know. DONNA Oh. Patticakes. Well, if anything real comes in, I can handle it. [annoyed] Just 'cause Paul's not back from the enchanted brute convention as early as he was supposed to be doesn't mean the office shuts down. He may be off doing who knows what with his furred and fanged cronies, but I'm sure he knows he can trust me to take on whatever-- MUSIC FOR VOICEOVER Scene 2. GOLDY Man, she had it bad. A case of sea green envy for what the boss might be getting up to with his old college chums. So what they were mostly frogs, bears, and the occasional walrus - she'd heard the sort of thing they used to get up to-- DONNA What are you doing? GOLDY Filling in. The boss should be back any minute, and then -- DONNA Look, I don't need anyone else horning in on my - our voiceovers. GOLDY I just figured you might not want to be the one pouring your heart out in a narrative conceit.... DONNA So you thought you'd pour it out for me? [sarcastic] Thanx. Scene 3. SOUND DOOR OPENS, JINGLE OF BELL MUSIC ENDS ALEXANDER Pardon the interruption, ladies. May I announce Prince Waldo Charming? SOUND STRIDES REGALLY IN, FOLLOWED BY AN ENDLESS ENTOURAGE. DONNA Did you have to bring the whole box of toy soldiers? The office is only so big. ALEXANDER [consults with the prince, then] Atten-hut! About face! March. SOUND ENDLESS FEET LEAVE AGAIN ALEXANDER The prince apologizes for the intrusion, but he prefers to keep this as informal and ‑ahem- low-profile as possible. DONNA Sure. I can see that. Why don't you step into the office over here? MUSIC FOR VOICEOVER Scene 4. DONNA So this was the infamous prince Waldo - the biggest royal catch of the last eight fishing seasons, and far too wily to let himself get hooked. Every princess, rich society dame, screen siren, and various other lesser gold diggers had set their bait for him, and he swam serenely past them all. I'm not among the anglers myself, since I already had my own trophy in sight- my own partner, Paul Bette, away now drinking with his cronies and doing whatever they please in the name of "old times". GOLDY [side of the mouth] You're staring. DONNA Huh? GOLDY [side of the mouth] He's about to get a restraining order. DONNA Oh, um-- Office, right. MUSIC OUT Scene 5. SOUND OFFICE DOOR CLOSES DONNA Well? What can I do for you? PRINCE Coffee? DONNA Certainly. SOUND CLICK OF INTERCOM GOLDY A package just came for you. DONNA Busy now. Goldy? Three coffees, please? One too hot, and two just right? Yes. SOUND INTERCOM OUT DONNA So, what brings you to
