SCENE 2
(Harry finally arrives. He's dressed as an astronaut, complete with
helmet, and he enters in the same bouncing, slow motion movement
of astronauts on the moon.)
HARRY: Made it! Sorry I'm late!
DAISY: (seeing the astronaut outfit) Uh oh.
POPPY: Houston, we have a problem.
JAY: Earth to Harry! You missed Babylon by about twenty-six-
hundred years.
HARRY: What?!
EMMA: Harry! We're playing Treasure of Babylon. What game did
you download?
HARRY: I know I downloaded Treasure of Babylon! This is weird. (in
his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression) I'll be back.
(Harry bounces off stage in slow motion like he entered.)
ABDI: It looks like you all are ready for an adventure. (broad
sweeping arm as she invites them on) Babylon awaits!
SOUNDFX: "Game Begins"
(As soon as she moves her arm, a crowd appears from one side of
the stage moving toward the center, and as they pass Abdi she
exits, disappearing. The crowd continues to the "market" scene of
Babylon and begins interacting, buying and selling their wares,
sometimes watching the game players as they interact.)
DAISY: Where did Abdi go? (yelling after her) Hey, wait! We don't
have a map.
JAY: How are we gonna solve the riddle or find the treasure without
a map!
AHUNI: Are you looking to purchase a map? I have maps, lamps, rugs
… take a look around, I'm sure you'll find something.
