ACT I

Scene 1

SETTING:Night. Outside. The Overworld in Minecraft.
AT RISE:CREEPER is standing.

(ZOMBIE enters.)

Zombie

Brains.

Creeper

No brains here buddy. Just, how should I put it... A very explosive personality.

Zombie

Brains.

Creeper

No. Underneath this green exterior, all you will find is a little flint and steel with a whole lot of gunpowder.

Zombie

Is gunpowder tasty?

Creeper

No. Gunpowder is not tasty.

I-1-2

Zombie

Me want brains. Brains is tasty.

Creeper

Sorry. I can't help you, but it is good to know exactly what you want in life.

Zombie

Me want brains.

Creeper

Yes. I understand.

Zombie

Brains is tasty.

Creeper

Yes.

(CREEPER tries to ignore ZOMBIE.)

Zombie

Me found brains in house.

Creeper

That's great.

Zombie

Door was shut. Big wooden door.

I-1-3

Creeper

That must have been troublesome.

Zombie

Me push door. Push. Push. Door opens. Me look inside.

Creeper

And you found some brains?

Zombie

Me find brain holder.

Creeper

A brain holder?

Zombie

Brain holder is tall. Walks around. Makes sound like "hrmm."

(Note: If you do not know the sound that Minecraft villaters make, it is very similar to Squidward on Spongebob Squarepants.)

Creeper

Oh, a villager. Yes, they have brains.

Zombie

Me eat brains. Me look in another brain house.

I-1-4

Creeper

Great. More villagers.

Zombie

Me find meow meow on soft bed.

Creeper

(Hisses.) A cat! I hate cats.

Zombie

Meow meow brains not tasty.

Creeper

Meow meow brains are terrifying. They are evil. Please, let's talk about something else. I can't handle the stress.

Zombie

You stress?

Creeper

Yes. If I get too stressed, I can explode.

Zombie

Little boom?

Creeper

No. Not little boom. Big boom.

I-1-5

Zombie

Big boom tasty?

Creeper

Big boom is deadly. Ten block radius deadly.

Zombie

No brains.

Creeper

No. If I get too nervous, everything gets destroyed. The dirt. The trees. The rocks. Even diamonds, if you are lucky.

Zombie

Me like shiny rocks.

Creeper

And you. Big boom kills you.

Zombie

Me no like big boom.

Creeper

And me. Big boom kills me too. Just thinking about it stresses me out. (Hisses louder)

Zombie

Stress makes boom makes stress makes boom.

I-1-6

Creeper

(Still hissing) Exactly. I couldn't have said it better.

Zombie

No stress. Happy place. Brains.

Creeper

Well, my happy place is on a far away island with huge mushrooms. (Stops hissing)

Zombie

Mushrooms tasty?

Creeper

They can be.

Zombie

Mushroom brains. All for me.

Creeper

Oh, I don't want it all for me. I want to share it with someone.

Zombie

Share brains?

Creeper

I want to sit under a large mushroom and watch the ocean with a special someone. You know, I met an enderman once. I think we had a real connection.

I-1-7

Zombie

Enderman. No brains. All legs.

Creeper

Yes, that enderman's legs went all the way up. I can almost visualize us sitting side by side, day after day.

Zombie

No day. Day bad. Sun burn. Burn bad.

Creeper

Oh, right. You can't be out in the sunlight.

Zombie

No sun. Just (exclaims) block man!

Creeper

You like the block man?

Zombie

Block man. There.

Creeper

Where? Is it the one with brown head fur or red head fur?

Zombie

There, with blue shiny sword. Shiny sword make ouchie. Bad ouchie.

I-1-8

Creeper

I know. Just thinking about it makes me... (Starts hissing)

Zombie

(Interrupts.) No think. Still. You green tree. Me gray rock.

Creeper

Good plan. Be very, very still. (Hisses softly)

(They both stand very still.)

Zombie

(Without moving.) Me smell brains.

Creeper

(Without moving.) I am so scared that I feel my insides sizzling.

Zombie

He no see us.

Creeper

I think he is going away. (Hissing stops)

Zombie

Me want brains. Me no want shiny sword.

I-1-9

Creeper

Well, you made a good gray rock. He didn't notice you.

Zombie

He no see you, big green tree.

Creeper

What's his problem anyway? Here we are, just minding our business and we have to worry about block man stabbing us with a big diamond sword.

Zombie

Light. Sun light bad.

Creeper

Oh, you are right. It is almost dawn. The sun is coming up.

Zombie

Sun make burn. Sun ouchie.

Creeper

Well, you better find some shade before the sun comes up.

Zombie

You find enderman. You find mushroom beach.

Creeper

Sure thing. That would be nice.

I-1-10

Zombie

(Pointing) You find there.

Creeper

Over there?

Zombie

Me see mushroom land. Me see red cow. There.

Creeper

Thanks a lot. I will head that way and I hope you find some brains.

Zombie

Brains. Bye green tree.

Creeper

See you later gray rock.

(Both exit in opposite directions.)
