Act 1 Scene 2 (First Draft)


(Nicole Dime is working as a secretary in the office of the agency. Enter Samuel Start with lots of paperwork)
Samuel: Hey Dime hows it going
Dime: Well it’s another busy day at the agency but things are kind of average so far... Is that some paperwork  you got there?
Samuel: Yes it is here you go... (hands paperwork) ... I think I found some really critical information on this Dr Sinister guy... My intel sources tell me that...
Dime:  Dr who?
Samuel: Dr Sinister, you haven’t heard of him? He was one of the most notorious villains in the world back when Chief was an agent... The banana split bonanza? The peppered plum plague? That was all him.
Dime: But Chief’s not an agent anymore Samuel... and he’s almost retiring... what makes you think that this Dr Sinister is an actual threat? He’s been hiding out in a cave somewhere for the past ten years and hasn’t shown his face since. Why do you think he’ll do otherwise.
Samuel: Well... he’s an evil genius i’m sure he’s got something up his sleeve.
Dime: You know what I think you should be doing instead of filing in mounds of paperwork about some unknown villain who doesn’t really matter? You should be out there with the other agents going on missions.
Samuel: Well Dime you know I want to but no matter how much I ask he’ll never let me.
Dime: Suit yourself Samuel, I still believe in you. I still think you got a shot at winning that secret agent of the year award if you tried hard and got on one of the missions. I hear we’re about to close in on Mister Doom.
Samuel: Thanks Dime.
Dime: No problem Sam. (Enter Chief with Dexter) Hey here comes chief now why don’t you just give the paperwork to him right now?
Samuel: Thanks again Dime.
Dime: Like I just said Sam... it’s no problem
(Sam goes to wait for Chief to talk)
Chief: Like I said Dexter, this weapon could help the agency a whole lot. Imagine all the criminals we could catch with something like that! (chuckles) You and me are going to save lives because of this breakthrough.
Dexter: Well Sir I had lot’s of help (modest)
Chief: (notices Samuel) Ahh Sam (Grabs paperwork and looks at it) more paperwork about Dr Sinister?
Samuel: Yes sir and I was also wondering if we could have a word in private...
Chief: (looks to Dexter) You can leave now Dexter, I’m sure you and you’re team have to work on some stuff for your invention of yours...
Dexter: Sure thing sir
Chief: (Pauses to flip through the booklet. Stops at a page) Why are you meantioning that he eats waffles with whipped cream on weekends.
Samuel: Well it could show that he is nervous about something... I mean it shows that he’s eating alot of calories not concerning his weight and I happen to know that in 2008 he was on a strict diet only eating...
Chief: You think too much about this Dr Sinister character. Start looking into Mister Doom or Professor Krumpet or another Well Known evil genius... Trust me he is not worth your time and it’s really not worth my time. (Leaving)
Samuel: Wait sir, I was wondering if I could go on the next mission. I hear they’re finding more stuff about professor plague and that they’re going to be sending an agent out into the field soon. I was wondering if that agent could be me.
Chief: (Pauses for a moment) You know Start, I like you. But you’re clumsy, and you try too hard... give me more paperwork some other evil geniuses and i’ll consider it. But for now you’ll have to wait.
Samuel: but sir that’s not good enough
Chief: It’ll have to be good enough because that’s my final answer!
Samuel: Yes sir.
Chief: Good, now go and get some coffee for me. (Start starts going) Not from the coffee machine here! You gotta go to my favourite coffee store “The Bean”. (Start starts going) Also, make it a double double soy lattee  no foam with extra peppermint to go (Start starts going again)... don’t forget the cinnamon.
Samuel: Is that all Chief?
Chief: Something is missing from that order... you know I’d like a little bit of cream to be... hmmm
Blonde: Could you say you wanted that cream put in to be “Shaken,  not stirred”.
Samuel: Great scott it’s James Blonde.
Blonde: (To the audience) Call me Blonde... James Blonde. (Back to chief) Chief.
Chief: Agent Blonde, It’s good to see you. (Enter Pepper) Oh and agent Pepper  how are you.
Pepper: Fine Chief just fine... (looks at Blonde) Anyway if you don’t mind Chief, James and I have some important business to talk about...
Samuel: What secret mission are you guys doing?
Pepper: (Glaring at Samuel and walks up to it) It`s Samuel Start isn`t it... Last time I saw you you were still writing paperwork... (grabs his paperwork)... and it seems that you haven’t stopped. Last time I checked Samuel the definition of a secret mission was that it remained a secret, and if you don’t mind I’d like to keep it that way.
Blonde: Now Pepper let’s not get too hasty. (Takes the paperwork and gives it back) Not everybody can go on missions. Only the lucky few, am I right Chief.
Chief: Precise Blonde.
Blonde: I see potential in you Start. I just haven’t seen you used it. Now If you don’t mind Start I think the Chief gave you an order.
Samuel: ummm yes right away... sorry... (Exits)
Blonde: So what is it Chief?
Chief: I’ve brought you both here today to show you an invention of Dexter’s. An invention that will change the
Samuel: (Enters again) So do you guys want coffee too... I mean I could get something if you guys wanted... (Glares from Pepper ) Umm... you know you guys look good... I`ll be leaving now... I guess... (Leaves)
Chief: (Grunt) Like I was saying... an Invention that will change the face of the agency forever... and maybe even the world.
(Blackout)
