Jusenkyou Hoedown


‘Whose Line’ intro music plays as the camera pans down the audience to the stage

[‘Whose Line’ intro music plays as the camera pans down the audience to the stage. WAYNE BRADY, DREW CAREY, COLIN MOCHRIE and RYAN STILES are standing side-by-side center stage]

[Camera on DREW]

DREW: Awright. Welcome back. Tonight's winner on "Whose Line:" Chip Estes, ladies and gentlemen! [Camera cuts to CHIP, sitting at the desk. He raises his clenched hands over his head in a victory gesture.]

[Camera back on DREW]

DREW: Anyway, as punishment, the rest of us have gotta do… a Hoe-Down! Our favorite game in the whole world. [RYAN rolls his eyes, regardless of whether or not the camera's on him] And what's our anime-related topic, Chip?

[Camera cuts back to CHIP, who is opening a 'Whose Line' envelope]

CHIP: Your topic is… [over-dramatically] Jusenkyo, the accursed Pools of Sorrow.

DREW: Ooh. Well, let's see what we can do with that… the Jusenkyo Hoe-Down, with the help of Laura Hall on the piano. Take it away, Laura, whenever you're ready…

[Camera picks up LAURA's fingers as she begins the Hoe-Down intro; and switches to WAYNE as she vamps a few times]

WAYNE [stepping forward, and smiling wide enough to make his eyes crinkle]:

I am Jusenkyo Guide, and I watch the people come
They jump into the Springs and change; I think they very dumb
Every time I warn them, and always I ignored
But I must admit that I never, never bored!

[WAYNE bows stiffly and steps back as LAURA continues her vamp. DREW steps forward]

DREW [speaking, as he can hardly carry a tune in a bucket]:

I've had poor luck with girls, so I thought it'd be a laugh
If I changed into a knockout, like in Ranma One-Half
I jumped into Nyannichuan and then I ran off screamy
Because the girl I turned into was — omigosh, I'm Mimi!

[We can see both WAYNE and COLIN shudder as DREW steps back. COLIN steps forward, still looking over at Drew, before shrugging and letting fly]

COLIN [also speaking, with enthusiasm]:

I saw a big cat once approach Jusenkyo Springs
He'd brought along a couple dogs, which turned to different things
It happened right before my eyes, and I sure learned a lot —
It goes to show a leopard can sometimes change its Spots!

[COLIN shrugs again as he retreats, and RYAN steps forward]

RYAN [singing, but without enthusiasm]:

I went swimming… in Jusenkyo's pools
Who would listen to that Guide, with all his goofy rules?
But now I know just what he meant — those things are really scary
I found out I'd been swimming in the Spring of Drowned Drew Carey!

ALL [turning to face DREW, singing]: Spring of Drowned Drew Carey!

DREW [with a rueful grin, over audience cheers]: Don’t go away, we’ll be right back with more ‘Whose Line is it, Anime?'

[Commercial bumper: Images of Regis Philbin holding up sheaves of hundred dollar bills; "Well, a million yen wouldn't get anyone excited, now, would it?"]
