The Mind Machine
The Scene: <P>
The scene is a laboratory with a large object covered in a white cloth a professor (white coat etc) comes in and addresses the congregation. Some eerie music works well here! The professor has a dodgy accent, all his w become v.<P>
Characters: A mad Professor, a stupid assistant and a dog (Or any animal you have a mask for or use face paints). <P>
The Script:
Prof: Ah good morning and velcome to the laboratory, your just in time to vitness the most amazing breakthrough in the scientific world. <P>
Not oÂnly will this machine make my fortune but it will benefit all humanity ensuring ve live in a better vorld. <P>
Better get oÂn with it, this (unveils the chair etc) is the mind renewing machine not oÂnly can it see the mind of the person wearing this (Waves hat with wires enthusiastically) but it can transform the mind of someone by using a better mind of another. <P>
It is pure genius even if I do say so myself.I can see from some of your faces that some of you don’t believe me; you are thinking that I am slightly mad. So I will prove it to you with this simple demonstration. <P>
First the dog! (Assistant) brings in the dog and sits him in the chair, restrains him and puts the hat oÂn. <P>
Now to prove to you this works we will place my stupid assistant in the other chair and transfer the mind of the man to the mind of the dog. (Asks assistant to bring oÂn the dog). <P>
The dog assistant sits in the chair, and then the professor reassures him that he won’t feel a thing! And then pushes and pulls buttons and levers and the process takes place. <P>
Now to show you that it has worked. Taking the hat off the assistant he asks him his name and the man barks and growls the response, maybe another test throwing a stick etc. <P>
Now the dogs asked his name the dog talks in clear voice, saying his name and such things like Oh I can’t wait to see the postman oÂn Monday morning! He is going to be in for the shock of his life. But I’m still going to bite his ankles. <P>
Professor addresses the congregation there you have it you have witnessed the worlds first mind transforming machine. Just think the problems that can be sorted out by simply changing the mind of a person.We could get rid of crime we could…….goes off muttering about the possibilities and saying I must phone so and so at oÂnce. (Excitedly forgetting about the experiment) <P>
The dog turns and looks at the assistant and says I’m off before he decides to alter us back around the other way and the assistant runs off barking. <P>
The End. <P>
Now you can now unpack the passage with ease.
