JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE (script form)
SCENE 1: [A long time ago, in a DEATH EATER hangout far, far away...]
CRABBE: Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
PETER: Only if you're calling me a coconut. Are you?
GOYLE: Maybe; but we're only minions here. You'd best ask someone else about that.
PETER: Well, who is your lord?
CRABBE: We don't have a lord.
PETER: What?
GOYLE: I told you, we're on an anarcho-syndicist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
PETER: Never mind all of this. I have something really important to tell someone.
CRABBE AND GOYLE: [confer privately]
CRABBE: What is your name?
PETER: Peter Pettigrew.
CRABBE: What is your quest?
PETER: To aid the return of the Dark Lord.
GOYLE: Oh, dear.
CRABBE: [kicks him] What is your favourite colour?
PETER: Blue.
CRABBE: Right. Off you go.
SCENE 2: [DEATH EATERS are inside a scary old house beside an eerie, bubbling cauldron.]
PETER: Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble...
LUCIUS: Do you mind?
PETER: Sorry.
HARRY: [arrives, clutching trophy] Portkeys. Why is it always portkeys?
LUCIUS: Welcome to "the other side", Mr. Potter.
HARRY: Would that be the Dark Side?
LUCIUS: No, the other side of the portkey, or the path it traveled on... or you traveled on... or... Never mind. Get on with it, Pettigrew.
PETER: Right. Bring the kid up here.
HARRY: [looks surprisingly nervous]
AVERY: [to HARRY] No reason to worry. Just a prick of the hand, a few drops of blood...
MACNAIR: No mistakes. He's only part wizard... we spill it all.
BELLATRIX: [evil cackle]
GOYLE: [to CRABBE] I guess there is a reason to worry.
LUCIUS: Silence, all, while Pettigrew performs the ritual.
ALL DEATH EATERS: [silence]
BELLATRIX: [evil cackle]
LUCIUS: [stern look]
ALL: [silence]
PETER: First... bring out your dead.
NOTT: [carries out TOM RIDDLE'S FATHER'S body]
RIDDLE: But I'm not dead!
LUCIUS: [whacks him with snake-stick] You are now.
NOTT: [tosses RIDDLE into cauldron]
PETER: Thank you, Nott. [takes some of HARRY'S blood] Now, by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. [cuts of arm and puts it in cauldron]
VOLDEMORT: [emerges from cauldron]
ALL: [tense silence]
BELlATRIX: [evil cackle]
LUCIUS: [stern glance]
ALL: [silence]
VOLDEMORT: [big grin] Ooo... the floors are so clean!
ALL: [relieved sighs]
VOLDEMORT: Peter, your arm!
PETER: [sighs again] 'Tis but a scratch.
VOLDEMORT: A scratch? You're arm's off! Here's a shiny new silver one for you.
PETER: Shiny!
VOLDEMORT: [evil, high-pitched laugh] I'm invincible!
HARRY: You're a loony.
VOLDEMORT: Avada Kedavra!
HARRY: [dies]
DUMBLEDORE: [apparates]
VOLDEMORT: You're late.
DUMBLEDORE: A wizard is never late, Riddle. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
LUCIUS: So, you didn't mean to arrive in time to save Potter?
DUMBLEDORE: Next question.
CRABBE: What's for dinner?
[awkward silence]
VOLDEMORT: [clears throat] Let's try this again... We meet at last, Dumbledore. Now the circle is complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master.
DUMBLEDORE: Only a master of evil, Riddle. [curses VOLDEMORT]
VOLDEMORT: [deflects curse] Don't call me by my Muggle father's name. [curses DUMBLEDORE]
LUCIUS: Time out!
ALL: [look at LUCIUS]
LUCIUS: Your father was a Muggle?
VOLDEMORT: [scowls] Yes. It's one reason I hate them so much.
LUCIUS: So, that makes you a halfblood.
VOLDEMORT: Yes.
LUCIUS: And yet, you were a Slytherin?
VOLDEMORT: Yes.
LUCIUS: The Heir of Slytherin, in fact?
VOLDEMORT: Yes.
LUCIUS: And now, you're telling us to kill Muggles?
VOLDEMORT: Obviously. I just said that I hate...
LUCIUS: And mudbloods?
VOLDEMORT: Yes! I am growing impatient.
LUCIUS: And halfbloods?
VOLDEMORT: Yes! [looks suddenly thunderstruck] You're very right, Lucius. I must now repent from my evil ways, convert, and give all my money to charity. Will you help me, Dumbledore?
DUMBLEDORE: Well... of course.
LUCIUS: You're missing the point.
VOLDEMORT: And that is...?
LUCIUS: Avada Kedavra!
VOLDEMORT: Oh. [dies]
DUMBLEDORE: Well, so much for the prophecy. I should have known it was a hoax.
CRABBE: Wow, I'll bet that felt good, Lucius.
LESTRANGE: [quietly to other DEATH EATERS] He's mentally unstable. I've said it for years.
LUCIUS: Avada Kedavra!
LESTRANGE: [dies]
BELLATRIX: [evil cackle]
DUMBLEDORE: Now, I should tell you all that there are a bunch of Aurors here to arrest you. Especially since now you have now been caught in the act.
AURORS: [enter] Avada Kedavra!
LUCIUS: Darn. [dies]
DUMBLEDORE: You know that's an Unforgivable Curse, right?
MOODY: Duh. Problem?
DUMBLEDORE: Just so you're aware.
