PART 5 Smiting Time
(Doctor comes out.)
DOCTOR
I saw something out my window that concerned me.
(Shade points at Smack.)
SHADE
He did it.
(Shade runs and hides behind chairs.)
DOCTOR
Are we a little out of control?
SMACK
Yes you are. It's smiting time!
(Everyone goes in to slow motion. Smack swings slowly at the Doctor who dodges slowly. Smack falls past doctor who gives him a vulcan neck pinch. Everything goes back the regular motion and Smack passes out. Shade jumps up and points.)
SHADE
Alien! The doctor is an alien. That was an alien neck pinch.
DOCTOR
Do I need to do it to you too?
SHADE
No, no... fading away.
(Shade goes behind chairs.)
DOGBOY
What is going on here?
DOCTOR
You all have a problem and I have the cure.
DOGBOY
Problem?
DOCTOR
Don't you feel a great burden? Don't you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? You feel like you have to deal with all the world's evils. But I can change all that. No more burdens. No more worries.
(There is a ding. Doctor leaves.)
SHADE
Don't listen to the Doctor. It's part of the mind control. You must resist.
DOGBOY
I understand what she means though. It gets so hard sometimes. I feel like there is so much evil in the world and there's nothing I can do to defeat it.
SHADE
Snap out of it!
(Shade slaps Dogboy.)
DOGBOY
Grr!
