65 - Dream, Part 1

SOPHIA
Previously, on Second Fiddles: Linus realized that the Dream Gem is possessed by his mother, BookWorm. Her power allows her to travel into books, but she’s been living in Linus’s journal for years and refuses to come out. She’s stopped responding to Linus’s letters, so he’s reached out to the dreamwalker, Lucid Lucy, to see if she can help. Let’s begin!

MAT
Episode 65: Dream, Part 1.

LINUS
After all the phone-tag, we finally meet in person! Thank you so much for coming, Lucid Lucy.

LUCID LUCY
Don’t thank me yet, Security Blanket. We don’t know how this is gonna turn out. It could get messy.

LINUS
Is that why you’re wearing an adult diaper?

LUCID LUCY
No, not the kind of messy I was talking about.

LINUS
Gotcha. Thanks for making the house-call.

LUCID LUCY
Hey, your mansion sure beats my office. Besides, this is such an odd request, I couldn’t say no. Have you met my sidekick Crampus?

CRAMPUS
Oh, NOW you acknowledge my existence?

LINUS
Yeah, we go way back! Not to be rude, but… I kinda thought you quit sidekicking.

CRAMPUS
Well, after the Red Thorn Ranch shut down, and everybody got their memories back, I was back to being homeless again.

LINUS
What? Why didn’t you reach out?!

CRAMPUS
It was kind of embarrassing to sign my money and possessions over to a cult… And there’s no legal way to be reimbursed.

LUCID LUCY
Yeah, there are no laws pertaining to what someone does under mind control.

CRAMPUS
You’re tellin’ me.

LINUS
So, you went back to sidekicking because you needed a job?

CRAMPUS
Yeah… just part-time. I’m taking classes to get certified in massage therapy. Working at the spa at the ranch was actually really nice… not gonna mention that on my resume, though.

LINUS
I wouldn’t! Well, thank you for being here too.

CRAMPUS
Of course.

LUCID LUCY
So, Security Blanket, is this the book you told me about?

LINUS
Yeah, this is the journal my mom is hiding in.

LUCID LUCY
May I…?

LINUS
Sure, just be careful.

LUCID LUCY
Hmm. I can feel waves of dream energy radiating off of it. Either your mother’s book-traveling powers are dream-based, or this is being powered by the Dream Gem, like you suspected.

CRAMPUS
I cannot believe we’re helping you find an Eternity Gem!

LUCID LUCY
I’ve never felt energy like this in my life, so whatever’s causing it is nothing to trifle with.

LINUS
Do you think you’ll be able to help me communicate with my mom?

LUCID LUCY
Oh, haha, no, I won’t be able to reach her.

LINUS
There’s nothing you can do?

LUCID LUCY
That’s not what I said. It’s not like entering a dream. To access the dreamworld in this book, someone will have to literally go inside it, like your mother did.

LINUS
Seriously?!

LUCID LUCY
There’s already a bridge of sorts to get in, left over from when your mother first entered. It’s like a portal. I can see it, but it doesn’t respond to me or Crampus. It only responds to you. It’s reaching out, wanting to pull you in.

CRAMPUS
That’s cool, but creepy.

LINUS
Do you mean I’ll finally get to see my mom again?

LUCID LUCY
Perhaps.

LINUS
Let’s do it. Send me in there!

CRAMPUS
Hold on a second, it can’t be that easy.

LUCID LUCY
She’s right, it’s not. If something happens to me, or, if you’re in there too long and I’m unable to maintain my focus, you might get trapped until I’m able to re-center and try again. Do you understand?

LINUS
I… think so. Will my body stay behind?

LUCID LUCY
You told me your mother’s powers transport her entire physical form, correct?

LINUS
Yeah. She was never sure what happened to her body. We always assumed it was stored in like a multidimensional limbo or something, or broken up into billions of tiny particles in the atmosphere until they’re able to reform.

LUCID LUCY
Well, your body will most likely experience the same thing as your mother. At least, I think so. This is uncharted territory.

LINUS
Can we just do this? I feel like if we don’t do it right now, I’m gonna chicken out.

CRAMPUS
Linus, you don’t need to rush this.

LINUS
I haven’t seen my mom in so long, I barely remember what her face looks like. I really need this, and I think she does too.

CRAMPUS
Just… be careful.

LINUS
I will.

LUCID LUCY
Blah blah blah, hey, I would suggest covering yourself with a forcefield before you enter, because I don’t know if you’ll be able to use your powers in there.

LINUS
Good idea.

SFX: FORCEFIELD WOOSH

LINUS
There we go.

LUCID LUCY
Great. Okay. Place your hand on the book and close your eyes. Crampus, relax his body with your powers. It should help with the transition.

CRAMPUS
Of course. Here goes…

LINUS
Mm, god, that feels so good.

CRAMPUS
You’re welcome.

LUCID LUCY
Now, try to open your mind. Think of your favorite memory of your mother, and focus on that. Take a few deep breaths, and let me connect you.

LINUS
I don’t think this is working.

CRAMPUS
Oh my god! He’s gone!

LUCID LUCY
He’s not “gone,” he’s just inside the journal. Now stay quiet and let me concentrate. This could take a while.

CRAMPUS
Okay… Geez, I wonder what it’s like in there…

SFX: DOG WHINE, GROWL

LINUS
Ugh. Hey, there, little random dog. Are you okay, boy?

CAM
Sure, just kinda hungry, and tempted to lick my butthole.

LINUS
Oh my god, Chameleon?! You shapeshifted into a dog?

CAM
Oh, I’ve always been a dog!

LINUS
I must’ve hit my head…

CAM
You’re in a blatant parody of the Wizard of Oz, dumbass. I’m a shapeshifter, so it makes sense for me to play Toto. It should’ve been Max’s falcon, Eloise—she’s the animal sidekick, but she doesn’t talk, so I got shafted. And not in the fun way.

LINUS
Are you the actual Chameleon, or, like, imaginary? You didn’t come here with me, did you?

CAM
Nope. Except for you, everything here is a creation of the Wizard.

LINUS
The Wizard? Oh! The Wizard’s probably my mom! She must have constructed this parody world. Or maybe the Dream Gem did; the Wizard of Oz was my favorite when I was little, so it makes sense.

CAM
Yeah I don’t really fucking care.

LINUS
Shouldn’t you be bleeped when you swear? I thought we normally bleep.

CAM
We’re technically inside a book right now, we’re not getting bleeped because we on this podcast don’t censor literature. Just roll with it.

LINUS
Okay… So we’re—where are we?

CAM
I’m a dog, how would I know?

LINUS
It looks like a little village. There are tiny houses and everything!

CAM
Bark. Bark, Bark. God, this is stupid.

LINUS
What?

CAM
Look up, idiot!

LINUS
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas any more.

CAM
You’re from Kansas?

LINUS
No, but it seemed like the appropriate thing to say.

LINUS
Dog, look! There's a big bubble coming down the street, and - and there's someone inside it. A lady, she's stepping out of it. Damn, she’s… really sexy.

TAMMY
Tell me, please -- are you a good boy or a bad boy?

LINUS
Tammy?! You’re the good witch?

TAMMY
I’m not a witch, I’m the good Pitch. But, close enough! So, you’re not a bad boy? I like bad boys.

LINUS
I can be a bad boy if you want me to be.

TAMMY
What’s your name?

LINUS
I’m Linus, from Rose City.

TAMMY
Huh. I’m here because the Munchkins just summoned me.

LINUS
The - Munchkins? Like, the donut holes from Dunkin?

TAMMY
No, the indigenous people of this land. It's Munchkinland, and you are now their national hero.

LINUS
Sweet!

TAMMY
Now where are those Munchkins?

CAM
Ooh, I would destroy a box of donut holes right now.

LINUS
Shush!

TAMMY
Come out, come out, wherever you are, and meet the young lad who fell from the stars. Well, Munchkins? Where the hell are you? Don’t be so shy! Where's the Mayor? Ah, there you are!

 CRAMPUS
Uh, hey. What’s up?

LINUS
Crampus?! You’re the Mayor of Munchkinland?

CRAMPUS
I don’t have cramps but… thank you for your concern? Yes, I am the mayor. Thank you for killing the Bitch from the East! We are indebted to you.

LINUS
Wait, how did I kill someone? I didn’t land in a house. Oh, is this the part where we see the striped witch socks curl up and I get some blinged out kicks?

CRAMPUS
No, my dear boy! You fell from the sky in a giant forcefield that crushed the Bitch from the East! Her vile, villainous viscera sprayed across Munchkinland, raining down on us!

LINUS
Jesus Christ! I’m so sorry!

CRAMPUS
Don’t be sorry. You saved us from her tyrannical rule!

LINUS
Oh. Okay... Who was the Wicked Bitch of the East?

TAMMY
Oh, just some random cunt. It’s not relevant to the plot. Look down, though. You’re wearing her shoes now!

LINUS
Red chuck taylors? Thank god, that’s way better than ruby slippers.

TAMMY
Only an absolute cretin would walk over miles of cobblestone in heels!

LINUS
So, Mayor, are you and the Munchkins throwing a celebration to spread the good news?

CRAMPUS
Oh, no, not really. Why?

LINUS
You know, “Ding, dong, the bitch is dead. Which old bitch? The wicked Bitch!” That whole thing?

CRAMPUS
We’re exhausted from cleaning up all the viscera. I could dance a jig if you want, but I have two left feet.

LINUS
Oh, I’m sure you’re not that bad.

CRAMPUS
No, really, I have two left feet. It’s a genetic disorder. See?

LINUS
What? Oh, wow, you really do. That sucks.

SFX: EXPLODING, CYMBALS CRASHING

CRAMPUS
Smoke! A cloud of red smoke! The Wicked Bitch is coming!

LINUS
But I thought you said she was dead!

TAMMY
She is dead. This one on the broomstick is her sister, the Wicked Bitch of the West.

CRAMPUS
She's even worse than the other one!

SALLY
Silence! I demand silence!

LINUS
It's Sally! That's who it is: Sally!

CAM
Bark, bark, bark bark bark!

SALLY
Hard of hearing, are you? I said silence! Now then! Who killed my sister? Was it you?

LINUS
No! Well, actually, yeah, I guess it was me. Fuck! It was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anyone!

SALLY
Well, my pretty, I can cause ‘accidents’ too.

TAMMY:
Aren't you forgetting the ruby sneakers?

SALLY
The sneakers! My sister's sneakers! Where are they?

LINUS
On my feet!

SALLY
You give them back to me!

TAMMY
Never! There they are, and there they'll stay.

SALLY
You nasty little boy! They're of no use to you!

TAMMY
Don't be frightened of her, Linus.

SALLY
You stay out of this, Pitch, or I'll fix you as well.

TAMMY
Rubbish! You have no power here. Get thee the fuck gone, before somebody drops a forcefield on you, too.

SALLY
Very well. I'll bide my time! As for you, my fine sir–

LINUS
You heard what she said. Get thee the fuck gone!

SALLY
I'll get you yet, my pretty -- and your little dog, too! (CACKLES) Away, broomstick! Away!

SFX: SALLY ROCKETS AWAY ON BROOMSTICK

CAM
Well, I guess that just happened.

TAMMY
It's all right, mayor! Don't hide your face! She's gone!

CRAMPUS
Oh, thank you! I really hate that bitch.

TAMMY
Now then, you hunk of a man, you really need to leave Oz.

LINUS
I’d love to leave, but I’m here to find my mom, and a gemstone. But I don’t know where they are.

TAMMY
The only person who might know would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz himself.

LINUS
Yeah, I kind of assumed… that’s, you know, the plot.

TAMMY
My, what else can that sassy mouth do?

LINUS
Damn, you’re so hot… But I don’t know how much time I have, so I should leave now.

TAMMY
Darn it. I was hoping for you to pop my bubble, if you know what I mean.

LINUS
You’re not making this easy.

TAMMY
Of course not, my goal was to make it hard.

LINUS
Ugh!

TAMMY
But, fine, if you must go, you need to travel to the Emerald City to find the Wizard.

LINUS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I have to take the yellow brick road, right?

TAMMY
Yup. Get to it, studmuffin! And remember, never let those ruby sneakers off your feet, or you'll be at the mercy of the Wicked Bitch of the West.

LINUS
I won’t forget, Pitch. Thank you.

CRAMPUS
Now, good sir, let me guide you to the yellow brick road, which leads to the Emerald City!

LINUS
Sure!

CRAMPUS
Well? What are you waiting for?

LINUS
Oh, I thought we were gonna sing something.

CRAMPUS
Really? Like what?

LINUS
You know, like, “We’re off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful…” Something like that?

CRAMPUS
Yeah, no, that’s not happening.

LINUS
Oh. Okay. Then let’s, uhh, go… now. Yeah.

TAMMY
With the magic Chuck Taylors on his large, manly feet, and his foul-mouthed dog at his heels, the handsome hero, Linus, is on his way to the Wizard of Oz. They've reached the border of Munchkinland, and the mayor just waved good-bye and stumbled back home on his two left feet.

LINUS
Well, talking dog, now what?

CAM
Fucked if I know! You’re the protagonist.

LINUS
We're still on the yellow brick road, but now it goes in two different directions. Which way do we go?

GALE
Pardon me, but that way's a very nice way.

LINUS
Who - who said that?

CAM
It’s obviously the scarecrow standing behind you.

LINUS
Oh, right, duh.

GALE
On the other hand, that way's very pleasant also.

LINUS
Hey, scarecrow, you look like my friend Gale!

GALE
Is there anything unusual about that?

LINUS
Not really, I guess. Why are you shaking your head both yes and no at the same time?

GALE
Oh, that's my trouble. I never can make up my mind about anything.

LINUS
Oh?

GALE
The fact is, I haven't got a brain. Take a look at my head. You see? It's straw. Just straw, like the rest of me.

LINUS
But how can you talk if you don't have a brain?

GALE
Well, some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?

CAM
Ain’t that the truth. I’m talking about you, politicians!

LINUS
Yeah, I guess you're right.

GALE
Oh, what's your dog doing?

LINUS
Humping your leg.

GALE
Oh, that's what I thought. I - I guess I don't scare them, huh?

LINUS
No, of course not.

GALE
I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around and they pick off my straw for their nests... I'm - I'm a failure, just because I haven't got a brain.

LINUS
Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?

GALE
Do? Why, if I had a brain I could, I could–

CAM
Do calculus?

LINUS
Hey, I have a brain, and I can’t do calculus.

CAM
Yeah, fuck math. As a dog, I can confidently say it’s useless.

GALE
If I had a brain, I could… come up with a list of things to do if I had a brain!

CAM
That’s profound, man.

LINUS
I’m Linus, by the way.

GALE
Nice to meet you, Linus! By the way, why are you walking past my cornfield?

LINUS
Oh, I’m heading to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz.

GALE
A wizard? Do you think, if I went along, he could give me some brains?

LINUS
I think you better stay here. I've got a Wicked Bitch mad at me and you might get into trouble.

GALE
Oh, but I'm not afraid of a Bitch. I'm not afraid of anything-- Oh, 'cept maybe a lighted match.

LINUS
Well, since you're made out of straw, I can hardly blame you for that.

GALE
Oh, won't you take me with you? Please?

LINUS
Of course I will!

GALE
Hooray! The scarecrow is going to leave the cornfield and go on… a quest!

CAM
Hey, hey, none of that. No!

GALE
Whoops. Sorry!

LINUS
Scarecrow?

GALE
Hm?

LINUS
Before we leave… Do - do you see what I see?

GALE
Well, not knowin' what you see, how can I say that what I see is what you--? Oh, wait a minute! Look, over there!

LINUS
That's what I mean, at the edge of the forest on the other side of the yellow brick road.

GALE
It's a woman -- a woman made of metal! Come on, Linus!

LINUS
Be careful. You, too, dog.

CAM
Whatever. I’m just gonna sit here and lick my own ass.

GALE
Look here -- here on the grass. A bottle of synthetic robot grease!

SOPHIA
Greetings, human man.

LINUS
Holy shit, it’s Sophia! And she’s a literal robot!

SOPHIA
Could you please lubricate my joints?

CAM
I sure could!

LINUS
Oh, sure! I’m guessing that’s what the grease is for.

SOPHIA
Wow. You must be a genius.

LINUS
Here we go… and some more here… and probably some down here… and over here… annnnd, done!

SOPHIA
Thank you. I greatly appreciate having the ability to once again move my arms and legs. I was stuck like this for 4 years, 7 months, 23 days, 9 hours, 44 minutes, and 10 seconds. 11 seconds. 12 seconds.

LINUS
How did you ever get like this in the first place?

SOPHIA
I was running a statistical analysis of the yellow brick road for the munchkinland department of transportation when suddenly it began to rain. The ensuing rust was disastrous to my mobility.

LINUS
Well, you're perfect now.

SOPHIA
Just bang on my chest if you think I am perfect. Go ahead, bang it.

CAM
Ha ha! That’s what she said!

SFX: LINUS BANGS ON SOPHIA'S CHEST

GALE
Wow! What an echo!

SOPHIA
You see? Empty. The engineer forgot to give me a heart.

GALE
No heart?!

SOPHIA
No heart.

LINUS
Oh.

SOPHIA
Believe me, not having a heart presents problems. Not as many problems as being a robot constructed from a material that apparently rusts, but I must pick my battles. I would like to make friends, and experience sadness, and longing, and … love.

LINUS
Would you like to come with us to the Emerald City? You could ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart!

SOPHIA
But suppose he would not give me one when we got there?

LINUS
Well, the least we can do is try!

SALLY
Ha! No matter how hard you try, you’ll never win! (CACKLES)

GALE
Who's that?

SOPHIA
Who is laughing?

LINUS
It’s the Wicked Bitch of the West!

SALLY
What fine ladies, helping this gentleman along. Well, stay away from him!

GALE
Oh - oh, yeah?

SALLY
Or I'll stuff a mattress with you, straw chick! And you! I'll use that metal carcass for a beehive! (CACKLES)

GALE
Gosh, what a bitch!

SALLY
Wanna play ball, scarecrow? Well, here! Catch!

LINUS
Look out! A fireball!

GALE
Fire! No, no, no, no!

SOPHIA
Stand still! I will stamp out the fire with my robot feet! There, you can move now.

GALE
Oh, much obliged, Robot.

LINUS
We both are! Thank you!

GALE
But I'm still not afraid of her. I'll see that you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not! Stuff a mattress with me? Hah!

SOPHIA
Yes! And I will see that you reach the Wizard whether I get a heart or not!

CAM
We met like 5 minutes ago, so don’t go nuts putting your lives on the line for this loser.

LINUS
Watch it, dog!

LINUS
What was that?

GALE
Don’t look now, friends, but I think we’re being watched!

SOPHIA
Do you mean by that creature at the edge of the forest?

GALE
I said don’t look!

CAM
My god, it’s hideous! What is that growing from his head?

MAX
Hey, don’t be mean! They’re just antlers!

LINUS
Max! You’re here too!

CAM
Bark! Barkity fucking bark!

MAX
Ah! Oh my god, what IS that thing? Will it hurt me?

LINUS
Oh, great, you must be the proxy for the cowardly lion.

MAX
A lion?! Tell me there’s not a lion here?! I could not handle that!

SOPHIA
It does not seem as if you can handle much of anything.

MAX
You got that right, missy! I’m a big sissy!

CAM
I don’t like you! Bark!

MAX
Ah! Stay away, you ferocious beast!

GALE
My goodness, you're nothing but a great, big coward!

MAX
You got that right! I'm the fearful deer boy, Buckly! I have anxiety for days, and I’m scared of my own shadow.

GALE
Linus, do you suppose the Wizard could help him, too?

LINUS
I don't see why not. Why don't you come with us, Buckly? We're on our way to see the Wizard of Oz and get the Robot a heart.

SOPHIA
And the scarecrow a brain!

 LINUS
And I'm sure he could give you some courage. Or therapy. Or at least some anxiety meds.

MAX
But wouldn't you be embarrassed to be seen in the company of a fearful deer?

LINUS
No, of course not. Deer are a prey species, you’re supposed to be anxious.

MAX
Oh. O…kay?

LINUS
Wonderful!

MAX
Can we leave soon? The woods are creeping me out!

CAM
You fucking live in the woods!

GALE
Let's be on our way without any more delay!

SOPHIA
That is just what I was going to say.

MAX
Hip-hip… hooray.

CAM
We’re seriously not going to sing ANYTHING?

MAX
Oh, I hope not! I’m really scared of singing.

CAM
Of course you fucking are.

LINUS
Okay, now that we’re all together, we really need to get to the Emerald City. I don’t know how much time is passing in the real world, but Lucid Lucy is probably getting tired of waiting for me. I hope she’s doing okay…

LUCID LUCY
Crampus, could you fetch me some water? Using my powers to maintain a connection between this book and the dream world is making me thirsty.

CRAMPUS
Yeah, sure– if I can remember where the nearest sink is. This place is huge.

ROSE
Ha! You’re not going anywhere, sidekick.

CRAMPUS
Rose!? What are you doing here?

ROSE
I’m here to collect what’s mine.

CRAMPUS
What are you talking about?

ROSE
The Dream Gem is here, and you’re going to give it to me.

LUCID LUCY
Crampus, do exactly as I say. All right?

CRAMPUS
Are we… communicating telepathically?

LUCID LUCY
Yes. I don’t like to advertise all my powers. Now listen: Take the journal with you, and keep it safe. Without me, Security Blanket will need to find his mother and the Dream Gem to escape, or he’ll be trapped in there forever. Do you understand?

CRAMPUS
What do you mean, without you?

ROSE
Why are the two of you just staring at each other?

LUCID LUCY
Use your powers when I say, and cramp her body into a giant knot.

CRAMPUS
I’m scared!

LUCID LUCY
You can’t hesitate. Cramp her up, grab the journal, and run for your life. Find Blue Moon, he can keep you hidden from her.

ROSE
Are you… having a stroke? Did you go catatonic?

LUCID LUCY
Ready on three, Crampus. Run, and don’t look back.

CRAMPUS
I won’t let you down.

LUCID LUCY
One, two… three!

ROSE
(cries out in pain)

ROSE
What are you doing to me?!

SFX: CRAMPUS RUNS AWAY

LUCID LUCY
She IS called Crampus for a reason!

ROSE
Come back, you vile sidekick! Bring back my gem!

LUCID LUCY
I won’t let you hurt my sidekick, and I won’t let you get that book!

ROSE
You’re no match for me and my Power Gem!

SFX: POWER GEM ACTIVATION SOUND

ROSE
(relieved sigh) Ah, that’s better. Cramps? What cramps?

LUCID LUCY
Stay back, I’m warning you.

ROSE
What can you do to me? You’re a dreamwalker, and I’m awake.

LUCID LUCY
That’s not all I can do.
Let me into your mind, into your dreams.
I can see what terrifies you, what keeps you up at night—
what you regret, what crawls under your skin.
I can trap you in your darkest nightmares.
Welcome to your new dreamscape prison, witch.
Welcome to your own personal hell!

ROSE
Oh, no thank you, darling. I’d rather just… snap your neck.

LUCID LUCY
Wait… No… NO! (scream)

SFX: NECK SNAP, BODY FALL TO FLOOR

ROSE
I applaud your ingenuity. You were the first hero smart enough to try a psychic attack like that. But the Power Gem increases my physical AND mental strength. I’m sure you’ll be mourned, Lucid Lucy, and grieved, and maybe even fondly remembered. But for now, your corpse can rot. I have a sidekick to track down. Ta-ta!
