Merchant of Venice in the Fropper Court of Law!!! - Part III

Merchant of Venice in the Fropper Court of Law!!! – Part III

Scene 1:

A park in Fropper City.

Enter Mr. Fropper and his friends, inktank, whirlwind and swiftmove

Mr. Fropper: Hi inky, whirly and swifty. Good morning. Maybe not! Nothing’s good about the morning!

Inktank: Why Frop? Wassup?

Whirlwind and Swiftmove: (in unison): You haven’t heard of it? Yet?

Mr. Fropper: Surely inky, don’t tell me you haven’t caught up with today’s news. It’s all over the world. The market has crashed. Which means, Fropper Spirit couldn’t loan the dough man! And bindas corner wouldn’t do the job unless you pay him!

All together: OMG!

Enters a cheerful Fropper Spirit:

Fropper Spirit: My! My! What sour puss expressions! Come on guys. I’ve got the answer!

Everyone looks at him askance.

Fropper Spirit: I’m going to borrow from Anti-Social Fropperite!

All four friends: WHAT! ARE YOU MAD?

Fropper Spirit: If I’m, so be it! Come on. Don’t wait for Shakira to move and shake. We’ll move a bit ourselves. Come on guys; fast!

All follow Fropper Spirit except inktank; he falls behind because the mention of Shakira sends his adrenalin soaring and dysfunctions his legs; whirlwind looks back; runs back; grabs him and drags him along!

Scene II:

Anti_Social Fropperite’s Office

Enter all the friends. Anti-Social Fropperite’s daughter sazzyme receives them with a smile. You couldn’t find a sweeter soul than her; even sugar fails miserably, competing with her!

Sazzyme: Hi guys! Howdy? Watcha doing in my devil dad’s office?

Fropper Spirit: Oh sweet sazzyme. We’ve come to take a loan from him.

Sazzyme: Darn; darn; darn! That would be the darn-edest thing to do! Plz don’t. You know him, don’t you?

Mr. Fropper: Yes we do. But then, What to do?

Enters Solarflare busy with a book and pencil. Of course; he was at his ‘sudoku’!

Solarflare: Hi guys; hi baby. What’s everyone doing?

Sazzyme: Hi solar. These guys are here to take a loan from dad. Plz tell them not to.

Solarflare: Look here guys! Don’t do it. He’s bad even to his daughter. I’m planning to abduct her one of these days; maybe take her away on my horse, like Prithviraj did! That’s why I’ve always had that horse as my display picture; do you understand?

Sazzyme: Oh! Here comes dad.

Enters Anti-Social Fropperite:

Anti-Social Fropperite: Well, well! What a fucking morning. All the dudes of Fropper city are here! What can I do for you guys? Am I right in assuming that you’re here to ask for a loan? (has an evil grin on his face!)

Fropper Spirit: Yes, Mr. A S Fropperite. I’d like to borrow some dough from you.

A S Fropperite: I’m not going to ask how much. But all I want to know is, when will you return it?

Fropper Spirit: Oh! I’ll give it back to you in three months. I expect to recover some of my shares and stocks by then.

A S Fropperite: Well! What happens if you’re not able to return it within three months?

Fropper Spirit: mmmm------------------whatever you say, sir!

A S Fropperite: I’ll part with the money, but conditions apply!

Fropper Spirit: ----whatever you say sir!

Exeunt A S Fropperite and after a while returns with a stamp paper. He tosses it carelessly on to the table. He asks his daughter to read it aloud for everyone.

Sazzyme: (Reads aloud):

Conditions for repay of loan by Fropper Spirit: I, Fropper Spirit has taken a loan of amount ----------------, from A S Fropperite, in the presence of my friends, Mr. Fropper, inktank, swiftmove; and A S Fropperite’s daughter sazzyme; and the gentleman solarflare, witnesses as signed under. I agree to repay the entire sum of principle and interest by the end of three months, failing which, I agree to meet the following conditions:

1. If I don’t repay the loan within the period of three months from today, I agree to read every single word A S Fropperite writes in his zone; his blogposts, his shoutouts, his scraps and his messages. I also agree to leave comments on each of the above mentioned. I agree to scrap him every hour and hit him evey half-hour.
2. If I don’t agree to all the above-mentioned conditions, I agree to be ostracized from Fropper City.
3. If I don’t agree to either condition no:1 or no:2, then as a last resort, I agree for A S Fropperite to cut off a pound of flesh from any part of my body as he wishes.

I’m of 18 plus years of age; I’m healthy of mind and body. I hereby agree and sign this bond of conditions on my own free will and under no compulsion or force by anyone.

By the time she finished reading, tears were pouring down sazzyme’s cheeks. Solarflare was missing; perhaps he left to fetch his horse!

Sazzyme: How could ya dude? Sorry dad?

A S Fropperite just gives his evil grin and leaves the place.

Mr. Fropper: Don’t do this Fropper Spirit. Plz don’t. It’s alright if I don’t have the money. I’ll find courage enough to propose to Dagny with her rampuri.

Fropper Spirit: What nonsesce. I will. And I have!.

So saying, he signs the paper and thrusts it to the others for witness signatures. (Well, solarflare’s name had to be deleted. He’d gone for his horse, remember?)

Scene III:

Three months later; Fropper Spirit’s House. Fropper Spirit wasn’t able to get his money on time. So, the case was going to be taken to court the following day:

All the friends are gathered in the drawing hall. GloomScene III:
hangs over the place like a tangible canopy!

Mr. Fropper: Do something na. Why don’t you think of an idea?

Inktank: I’ll dry up my tanks. If he doesn’t find ink, he can’t write anything.

Whirlwind: I’ll blow hard and sweep him off the city. I’ll carry him somewhere and dump him on a far off, deserted island.

Swiftmove: Don’t be dumb guys. He’s a scaly-whally rascal! He’s capable of surviving the worst tsunami; and he’s clever enough to invent an inkless mode of writing; you know, how the cordless gadgets were invented? Maybe like that!

Inktank: (jumps up like a jack in the box): Idea!!! Why not try some ‘sonimagic’? She always talks about it, doesn’t she?

Whirlwind: Yes; but have you forgotten? She’s traveling. She’s not available for sometime. And the trial is scheduled for tomorrow!

Inktank: Oh! We’ll ask manisha then; she’ll be able to find a way from her ‘old and wise biscuit baba’.

Swiftmove: No go! Biscuit baba has gone to the Himalayas. He’ll be back only when manisha decides to write her next post.

Enter MyZoneCAN and rat-race:

Mutual greetings were exchanged. Hi guys; Hi guys.

Rat_race: well, well! What a gloomy lot! Myzone. Maybe you can entertain them with your first kiss. Come on buddy. Time for a demonstration.

Myzone: oh yes. I’d love to. But whom do I kiss? Surely not you. I’m straight! Thanks

Rat_race: Well! What a relief! I’m straight too! But damn it! What to do? After all, we ARE the entertainers. And we need to do something to make this lot smile!

Myzone: How about some limericks? You won the contest! Come on ratty; reel out some sarasm na?

Rat_race: there once was a fropper named anti-social
He went to the parlour for a facial;
The beautician was scared of him
And went and hid herself in the gym
The crisis, after all was not financial!

The made a feeble attempt to lift their lips in a smile, that looked like a cross between an ‘ouch my tummy hurts’ and an ‘ouch my ass hurts’!!!

Myzone and rat-race crack jokes, dances, sings funny songs, but to no avail. Finally, they leave the others to mop and brood!
