(song)

EVERYONE starts chorusing along with the PIG.

CC starts disappearing and the mask, hanging in the air

comes near ALICE. ALICE walks away, not able to bear thesneezing any longer. The mask follows her.As she walks intoclean air , the CC starts forming again.

ALICE

Excuse me, can you tell me the way to go?

CC

That will depend on where you want to go.

ALICE

Well, it actually does not matter where I go.

CC(mimicking her)


8/10

Then it actually does not matter which way you go. Butsince YOU ARE IN MY DEPT., I THINK, WHICH IS BETTER THANALL THE OTHER DEPTS, I will take you to the MATERPILLAR,the SENIOR of the family. Family is very important , you

know. My kid

The CC goes on and on but ALICE tunes her out, her headstarting to ache with the days activities.

ALICE(interrupting)

Can we please go meet this boss of yours? Maybe he can helpme.

___________________________________________________________

INT. STAFF ROOM - EARLY EVENING

CC leads ALICE into the staff room. The MATERPILLAR issiting at the end of the room, behind a huge desk. CC jumpsonto the desk, kisses the MATERPILLARS hand in deferenceand jumps on to his shoulder.

CC(to MATERPILLAR)

She has something to ask you.

MATERPILLAR(to ALICE)

We have known each other for so long now...but this is thefirst time you've come to me for counsel or for help. I

can't remember the last time you invited me to your locker,in which you spend so much of your time, even though CC

here is godmother to your family. But let's be frank here.You never wanted my guidance. And you feared to be in my

debt.

ALICE

But I have known you not for more than, say, 2min??

MATERPILLAR


9/10

Now, now, we are both civilized people. I understand youfound paradise in your locker and in your SGPA. Of courseyou would not know me if you spend your day in the lockerand ran away at 5:30. Whatever other work you might have

might be urgent, but this is important. You didn't need afriend like me. Now you come and say "Don Materpillar, Ihave a doubt." But you don't ask with respect. You don't

offer friendship. You don't even think to call me"Godfather." You come into my room on the day submission

and have babies.

ALICE

What??!!

MATERPILLAR

Consistent lack of structuring and planning on your partwill not result in a constant state of panic on my part.

ALICE

Are you implying all of this is my fault??

MATERPILLAR

My my...ummWhat is your name again??

CCOh yeah what is your name anyway??

MATERPILLARYou dont know her??

CCNo!


10/10

MATERPILLAR

Does not matter now... do not dwell on what is notimportant.

(to ALICE)

What have I ever done to make you treat me sodisrespectfully? If you'd come to me in time, this

submission would not have set your ass on fire. You couldhave taken control and I would have helped you take it to

its logical end. This could have been shown to yourjuniors. It is this selfish attitude that draws you back

from the family. You wont get success right at thebeginning. This life you have in the family is because ofyears and years of letter writing it is a classic case of

A student syndrome and that is something you have becareful about. Why do you need me to mother u? You shouldaim before you shoot...but you people shoot and then try toaim. You set your backsides on fire and then come to me

when it is too late...

ALICE is getting a sense of unreality and dazedly she walksout of the room into the first room she comes across.

INT. ROOM # 43 EARLY EVENING

ALICE walks into a room filled with odd-looking creaturesand looks around curiously. As she starts exploring theroom, the lights start becoming psychedelic. Almost blindedby the lights, Alice squints to see the creatures and ishorrified to see them move. They approach her in menacingsteps and the room starts spinning. Alice wordlesslyscreams and runs out of the room.
