Scenes 5 & 6: Bassmaster 1300 AD Classic! (pg 31-35) & There Are No Crab People (pg 35-36)

Question 1

(Narrator 1 begins making ocean sounds; Fishergirl enters, carrying a fishing pole.)

Answer 1

Here we are at the Bassmaster 1300 AD classic! What are they playing for, Mira?

Question 2

Narrator 1: They’re playing for food on the table!

Answer 2

Sounds great! Sounds great! What do you think your chances are out there, miss?

Question 3

Fishergirl: Well I just wanna stay within myself and take one fish at a time. You know, just do my thing.

Answer 3

What about your competition out there?

Question 4

Narrator 1: …All the people in the village are starving!

Answer 4

Do you think that helps or hurts your chances?

Question 5

Fishergirl: You never really want to see anyone starve-

Answer 5

But if they’re starving they can’t put up a fight, so that’s gotta be good for ya, right?

Question 6

Fishergirl: I guess.

Answer 6

You guess. You’re a kidder. All right, start your…boats!

Question 7

Narrator 1: She really hasn’t had a lot of luck yet.

Answer 7

What kind of lure is she using, Mira?

Question 8

Narrator 1: I can’t see for sure, but oh, it appears to be a worm on a hook. Yes it is. I can confirm that now: A worm on a hook.

Answer 8

She’s going the traditional route.

Question 9

Narrator 1: And the cracks are beginning to show!

Answer 9

Let’s see how the other competitors are doing!

Question 10

Narrator 1: Shocking developments, Zach! All the other competitors have starved to death! I didn’t see that one coming.

Answer 10

Wait. Wait a minute!

Question 11

Narrator 1: And she appears to have caught a wish-granting fish, Zach.

Answer 11

Those give you double points in the standings. I think she’s gonna take the cup.

Question 12

Narrator 1: Especially since everyone else is dead.

Answer 12

Unless she uses her wish to bring them all back from the dead as zombies, when their catches would still count in the final standings.

Question 13

Narrator 1: I think bringing back the rest of the town as zombies would be a mistake, Zach. I saw that happen once in ‘72 and let me tell you, there was a lot of decapitation that day.

Answer 13

Wait, I think she’s gonna make the wish.

Question 14

Fishergirl: I wish…for three more wishes.

Answer 14

Oh! Brilliant move!

Question 15

Talking Fish: Wait! How about two wishes?
Fishergirl: Okay.

Answer 15

Wow! That took guts!

Question 16

Fishergirl: It’s a compound wish.

Answer 16

Let’s see what the judge says.

Question 17

(A buzzer sounds)

Answer 17

Ooh.

Question 18

Narrator 1: Good idea, though.

Answer 18

The judge didn’t buy it.

Question 19

Fishergirl: Maybe I should have thought about that a little more.

Answer 19

She probably should’ve, because the next thing you know, she was living in a house made out of candy as a witch.

Question 20

Fishergirl: I really could go for some thighs.

Answer 20

Of course, that leaves us with another question.

Question 21

Narrator 1: Why would he cheat on me if he loves me?

Answer 21

No that’s not the question. The question is: where did the talking fish come from?

Question 22

Narrator 1: Oh I know! Once upon a time there were two crab people.

Answer 22

What?

Question 23

Narrator 1: Crab people. They’re part crab. They hate humanity. You haven’t heard of them?

Answer 23

No.

Question 24

Crab Person 2: Yes. I, too, despise the people above.

Answer 24

Wait, hold on.

Question 25

Crab Person 2: Death to humans!

Answer 25

There are no Crab People!

Question 26

Crab Person 2: You have not heard the last of the crab people!

Answer 26

So where did the talking fish come from?

Question 27

Narrator 1: The moon.

Answer 27

The moon?

Question 28

Narrator 1: I don’t know! It doesn’t say! I’m going crazy here! There’s a lot of pressure to make this all make sense.

Answer 28

Well I think we ought to investigate the origin of the fish.
