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

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

Scene: IV

Dagny’s house:

Dagny and Asylum are discussing in low tones

Dagny: We’ve been discussing this for a long time asylum. What do you think is the best thing to do under the circumstances? Trust these dumb males to get into such situations.

Asylum: (thinks deeply and then speaks): Oh well! Maybe you should disguise yourself as a lawyer and go to the court tomorrow.

Dagny: And do what?

Asylum: (comes near dagny and whispers something in her ear); Dagny smiles ear to ear; the expression on her face priceless.

Dagny: Oh well! That’s a good idea. And then, I’ll just take it forward from there. I’m sure my ‘clever brains’ will come up with something extempore!

Scene: V

The Duke’s Court; . Duke KB is sitting on his throne, with a scepter in his hand, a crown on his head and a kind smile on his intent face:

The Duke: Goodmorning ladies and gentlement. Let the case be heard!

Fropper Spirit takes one witness stand; A S Fropperite takes the other.

After the oath taking the trial follows. The witnesses are heard. Fropper Spirit is heard. A S Fropperite is heard.

Duke: (with a sad countenance): I see that there’s every bit of evidence in favour of A S Fropperite. Though the court doesn’t want to inflict pain on anyone or abet injustice, the Court finds no way out of this. So, I pass the bond of agreement between the two gentlemen.

He turns and looks at Fropper Spirit and speaks in a voice laced with tears: Well, Fropper Spirit; You know as well as I do, how much I want to save you. But I’m helpless. The only thing I can ask you is for you to choose your option. Which punishment do you prefer?

Fropper Spirit: I’m NOT going to read his inane drivel; stuff.and nonsense! I’m NOT going to quit fropper. I’ll NOT give him that satisfaction. He can have his pound of flesh.

Duke: (smiles through his tears, happy that though the gentleman is paying the penalty, the spirit of Fropper is still strong!)

Enter Dagny, disguised as a lawyer, followed by asylum, acting as her clerk

Dagny: Goodmorning your highness. I’m here to defend Fropper Spirit.

The Duke and all the others present in the court turn towards her in amazement. They are all happy as they realize that a new lease of life may still be found for Fropper Spirit.

The Duke grants permission.

Once again, after all the formalities and interrogations, Dagny faces the Duke and starts her argument.

Dagny: Your highness, the Duke. We agree to all the conditions, because we don’t have any other option. But I’d like to be heard before the bond is honoured.

Duke: So be it. May you be heard.

Dagny: We agree to any of the three conditions. Condition no:1: Well, we agree to all the clauses in it, provided, A S Fropperite, writes error-free English on his blog. Absolutely error-free; no spelling errors; no grammatical errors; no room for error anywhere.

Duke: Yes, but who’ll be the judge of it?

Dagny: Well, haven’t you heard of this insufferable, UNjust woman on fropper, who calls herself just? Chithrajust; known as cj! She thinks too much of her love for the language. But I guess she’s the best for this, considering too, that she’s not in the business of being liked. She calls a spade a spade, and she’ll surely put this guy in place!

Duke: Oh yes; I know cj. She’s my rakhi sister! (he beams at dagny)

Dagny: Condition no:2. Fropper Spirit will quit Fropper city if all the fropperites poll against him.

Duke: You mean the open polls the three sistahs carry out in all their stupid competitions? Oh yes. Good idea. No one will vote against Fropper Spirit; Everyone loves him dearly.

Dagny: And finally. Condition no: 3: He can cut off the pound of flesh off Fropper Spirit’s body, provided he uses Dagny’s Rampuri for it.

A S Fropperite: (who was listening quietly all this while, shouts out loud): WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! Dagny’s Rampuri! (he looks like a movie heroine that has seen a ghost!) Nooooooooooooo. I don’t dare go anywhere near that woman! She’s dynamite! I’m scared shit of her!

Dagny flashes a triumphant look at him and with a nasty smile says: That’s the idea, you nasty piece of the earth!

She then turns to the Duke with a sweet, hundred watt smile and says: That’s all your highness. I rest my case!

And the rest is history folks!!!

Epilogue:

Needless to say who won. Of course, the invincible Fropper Spirit! And rumours said that a lost and lonely mad man was found roaming the streets of Fropper City in rags. He was also heard mumbling repeatedly, ‘rampuri, rampuri, rampuri’--------------

Dagny posted a note to all the friends on her blog saying that her rampuri is dangerous only to the anti social elements. When it comes to the near and dear ones, it was just a butter-knife! ha haaaaaaaa

Mr. Fropper, heartened after reading the note, asked Dagny if he may propose to her. Dagny said, ‘oh yes, you may, june, july, august, sep------------------, but I may refuse-----------LOL It took him long to realize that no one proposes to the spirit of independence!

And so there they are; all of them bound by love and friendship, living in the Fropper City as one big happy family. All are welcome to join the bandwagon. After all, no one’s a stranger!!!

Good always wins over evil; this has been the pivotal force of the world and humanity since Adam and Eve! And Venice was no exception! And Fropper City was no exception either!!!
