[bud, spoken]
prologue

the lights rise on the squalid, stinky bedroom of a friend of gutenberg

[doug, spoken]
the roof is made of dirty thatch!
in the corner, there are rats, gnawing in stinky cheese
and lying absolutely still in the center of the room…
without moving…
is a dead baby!

[bud, spoken]
gutenberg’s friend and the doctor examine the dead baby

[doug (as doctor), spoken]
well, we did all we could
i’m afraid your baby… is dead

[bud (as gutenberg’s friend), spoken]
but i gave him this medicine!

[doug (as doctor), spoken]
them ain’t medicine
them’s jelly beans

[bud (as gutenberg’s friend), spoken]
jelly beans?!
but…

[doug (as doctor), spoken]
if only you could read…
see ya

[bud (as gutenberg’s friend)]
jelly beans, not medicine
if only i could read;
my son, he wouldn’t need… an elegy
stupid beans! not medicine!
oh god, here in this jar…
i can’t read what these are
d-mned jelly beans!

[doug (as johan gutenberg), spoken]
h-llo friend
is there anything johan gutenberg can do?

[bud (as gutenberg’s friend), spoken]
shut up!

[doug, spoken]
friend of gutenberg sobs like a woman
he cradles his dead baby in his illiterate arms

blackout!

act i, scene 1
schlimmer, germany
a german town, full of german things
like feet and short pants
gutenberg walks down the dark streets of this medieval burg
and encounters a woman and her daughter on their way to market
they’re carryin’ kraut
sauerkraut!

[bud (as woman #1), spoken]
oh good morning, mr. gutenberg!

[doug (as gutenberg), spoken]

[bud (as daughter), spoken]

[doug (as gutenberg), spoken]

[bud (as daughter), spoken]
as happy as i can be… considering i can’t read

[doug, spoken]
another woman throws open her shutters to greet the morning
she dumps her stinky chamber pot
and suddenly, the town of schlimmer is alive
not alive like a monster
but alive like a town!

[bud (as woman #1)]
it’s nice to live in medieval germany
in the beautiful town of schlimmer!
we all get along in perfect harmony!

[doug (as beef fat trimmer)]

[doug (as beef fat trimmer)]
