FAMILY: An old man with a pitchfork and his wife and daughter. They resemble the Quaker family in “American Gothic,” a painting. The MOTHER (MAGENTA) and FATHER RIFF RAFF) stand outside the church doors. Their DAUGHTER (COLUMBIA) goes inside. The FAMILY, and the MINISTER (FRANK N. FORTER), and the GUESTS
all resemble characters we shall meet later at the Frank N. Furter place.

BRAD waves a last wave.

Stovik sat and watched the presentation with quite a bit of mystification. He was aware of the majority of Earth customs and certainly was aware of the ones surrounding Earth weddings but this one defied explanation. He really was lost in trying to put any logical framework around it. He noted that those human crew members around him seem to be enjoying it and laughing for no reason he could understand.

Captain Stovik

T’Aria had heard of the iconic performance before, but she had never done much research into the event. Sitting back, her stance unwavering, she attempted to decipher the significance of the performance. After all, it seemed to excite many of the human members in the audience. Something she could not agree to.

Dr. T’Aria

Kane walked in as the show was starting and grabbed a seat next to the CMO. “Heya, Doc.” he said softly. In his lap he placed a bag of sliced white bread, each slice toasted.

Kane, Tac / Med

“Ah, Mister Kane.” T’Aria greeted in a leisure albeit formal manner. Keeping her voice low, she nodded to him. “I trust you are well?” She turned her gaze to make it seem as if she were paying equal attention to the production, as she was the man beside her.

Dr. T’Aria

Hapschatt.
(sighs)

BRAD
(still looking after the car)
Yes, Janet. Ralph’s a lucky guy.
They walk through the church graveyard.

JANET
Yes.
An OLDER COUPLE passes them.

ELDERLY WOMAN
- I always cry at weddings.

BRAD
Er. Everyone knows Betty’s a wonderful little cook.

JANET
Yes.

BRAD
Why Ralph, himself, he’ll be in line for a promotion in a year or two.

JANET
Yes.

They stop in front of a sign: “DENTON: THE HOME OF
HAPPINESS.” With great decision BRAD turns to JANET.

BRAD
Hey Janet.

JANET
Yes, Brad.

BRAD
I’ve got something to say.

JANET
Uh-huh.

BRAD
I really loved the (pause) Skillful way you beat the other girls to the bride’s bouqet.

JANET
Oh… oh Brad.

BRAD
(sings)
The river was deep but I swam it.

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA

BRAD
(sings)

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA (O.S.)

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA (O.S.)
(sing)
Janet.

BRAD
(sings)
I have one thing to say and that’s dammit Janet. I love you.

JANET leans forward to kiss BRAD, but he backs away to the church steps.

BRAD (CONT’D)
(sings)
The road was long but I ran it.

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA
(sing)
Janet.

BRAD
(sings)
There’s a fire in my heart And you fan it.
(jumps off)

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA (O.S.)
(Sing)

BRAD
(sings)

RIFF RAFF & MAGENTA
(sing)
Janet.

BRAD
(sings)
I’ve one thing to say and that’s…

BRAD chalks a heart on the church door, which RIFF RAFF
proceeds to wipe off.

BRAD (CONT’D)
(sings)
Dammit, Janet. I love you.

JANET
Ooh.

BRAD picks up Janet and swings her around; kneels down.

JANET (CONT’D)
Ooh.

BRAD produces a ring.

BRAD
(sings)
Here’s a ring to prove that I’m no joker.
JANET (O.S.)
Ohh.

BRAD (O.S.)
(sings)
There’s…

CHURCH BELLS PEAL OUT. RIFF RAFF and MAGENTA OPEN doors and
solemnly ENTER the church, door closes behind them.

BRAD (CONT’D)
(sings)
… three ways that love can grow. That’s good…

JANET
Oh… oh… oh…

BRAD
(sings)
… bad or…

BRAD goes to put the ring on JANET’S finger and drops it.

BRAD (CONT’D)
(sings)
… mediocre.

JANET
Oh.

BRAD bends down to pick up ring. JANET crouches beside him.
He puts the ring on her finger.

BRAD
(sings)
Oh - JANET I love you so.

JANET
Oh.

JANET, transfixed, bursts into the church.

AKA - Ducky

“Curious,” T’Aria muttered to herself, in response to what was currently doing on. She found the context of the play– musical, to be peculiar. “What an odd way to propose..”

Kane kept his eyes straight ahead, but replied “I am. How are you doing? I didn’t expect you to be here. Didn’t think this kind of thing would appeal to you.”

Kane, Tac / Med

“That is pleasant to hear, Doctor.” T’Aria returned, narrowing her gaze to better accommodate her distance from the action. “Adequate, thank you.” For a second, she broke gaze, turning her head to him. “An astute observation, Mr. Kane, you certainly are not wrong,” It was a sort of Vulcan way to add to casual conversation. “It is quite fascinating, really, the artistic natures of various species. Humans, however, are one of the most intriguing.”

Dr. T’Aria
CMO

Kane grinned, a mischievous grin if ever there was one. “Oh… you just wait, Doc. We use to watch this show on recordings from old Earth back in New Detroit. You have no idea what you are in for.” and he chuckled and settled into his seat a little further. “But no worries. When you have had enough, I’ll rescue you.” and he chuckled again.

Kane, Tac / Med

“Unfortunately, the greatest I have heard of this iconic production, has to do with a rather sexualized theme.” Although, as one might easily see, such ideas would simply.. Fly right over her head, in every sense of the term. “You are from New Detroit, Mister Kane?” She inquired, turning to glance at him, before dismissing the question as if it were foolish to ask. “Be careful of what you say, Doctor. I may just hold you to your word, as they say.” If a Vulcan could smirk, one knew she would be.

Dr. T’Aria
CMO

Kane snorted at her ‘rather sexualized’ comment. “Yeah, rather sexualized....”

Making sure to keep his voice low and without looking away from the show, his eyes twinkled slightly and he said “I am from there. And I never make idle offers, Doc. Say the word, and I’ll get you out of here and somewhere less… complicated. But only after I get to use this.” he said and lifted the toasted bread slightly.

Kane, Tac / Med

“I see..” For a second, her attention drifted back towards the production before them. The musical number did seem to have a tendency to rhyme with itself, but she assumed this were normal for such songs. “I will keep that in mind,” she had meant to ask about the bag of sliced, toasted bread, but she doubted she wished to know the answer behind it. Quirking an eyebrow, she returned her attention to English’s performance.

Dr. T’Aria
CMO

OOC: Unfortunately due to time constraints we have lost the illustrious Ducky though he will try to return when his schedule allow.:)

Krys

OOC: How unfortunate! Thank you for the information, Krys!

As the show progressed, Kane remained fixated on the production. After a while, he leaned in to T’Aria and said “Ok, Doc. Get ready. I’m gonna leave soon.” and he opened the bag of cooked bread.

At one point, the character of Frank-N-Furter raised his glass and said “A toast!” at which point Kane stood up and began slinging the toasted bread at the screen. He then looked at T’Aria and said “I’m done now. I’m gonna go grab a drink. Wanna come?”

Kane, Tac / Med

T’Aria rose her head from watching the character to stand with the opposing doctor. “Certainly,” She agreed. The show had become far more perplexing to the Vulcan than she found to he comfortable. It was illogical and peculiar, out of her range of comprehension. Albeit, it was a.. Fascinating expersience.

Nodding to Solomon, she gestured with a small hand. She didn’t question his actions, finding it was better that she didn’t. “Lead the way, Mister Kane.”
