Sunday's Finale

Sally being dragged to the park through the town

Scuffle where Sally knocks down a soldier and gets knocked out and carried the rest of the way in a fireman's carry.

Meanwhile, Orchitis and the Governor are on the knoll.

Orchitis tells the governor that he is going to marry Sally. "Splendid, My boy" etc. Gov promises anything Orch wants as a wedding gift. "Anything?" "Absolutely" "Are you certain?" "Certainly." "Do you swear it?" "On my word of honor. ... Where are you going with this?" "What I want is the death of Joseph Cotton!" "Cotton! But...wasn't Sally in love with him? Won't that make for an awkward wedding gift?" "That's exactly why I am marrying her. Cotton has stolen from me for the last time, now I am going to commandeer the woman who loves him!" "How dreadful! Well, I cannot go back on my word - you will have your shot at Cotton, _IF_ you can marry Sally. Is she willing?" "She hasn't objected." (look over at Sally who is gagged but screaming). "Very well. But if I know Cotton, he will find a way to interrupt the wedding, and then all bets are off."

Orchitis sets the military to search everyone coming to the wedding. Everyone wonders out loud where Cotton is, as the dancing girls come in, searched by lecherous guards, including the mysterious fourth dancing girl, Cotton in disguise. Cotton knocks out a soldier who gets 'fresh'.

Wedding proceeds (Keloid presiding) up the the requisite 'speak now or forever hold your peace'. Cotton reveals himself and objects.

Arguments back and forth, Governor decrees a duel. Cotton chooses "Swords...at 20 paces!". Orch: "Pistols it is." They do the out of period back-to-back pacing, except Cotton walks backwards, and when Orch turns and fires, Cotton turns to stay behind him. Cotton gooses Orchitis with his pistol.

Orch: "But you cheated!"

Cotton: "Pirate!"

Governor: "You stole that joke from..."

Cotton: "Pirate!! ... And now, I will steal the bride!"

Everyone:"Pirate!!!"

Orchitis needs to be humiliated in some way, preferably involving his pants falling down to reveal his red and white or skull and crossbones boxer shorts.

The wedding would commence, except that nobody is willing to be married by Keloid. They have a great idea - let the captain on the ship marry them. Party continues on land with Musical Jam. Ship sails.

From Dean:

Kim Mcculloch wanted to make sure the Scurvvy Dawgs had a more important role in the Pirate Invasion,

Here's the deal: we wrote the scenario so the Scurvvy Dawgs saved the day by firing the last cannon that took out the military. (It is funny, see, because the little brass cannon takes out, like, fourteen guys.) Last year the ship came in late (well, really, we were all early) we went through a second round of cannon fire from the ground and everyone lost focus as the Windy II kept popping off shots.

So, THIS YEAR I will make sure that we introduce the Scurvvy Dawgs and their little brass cannon at the opening of the scene so people know to look for them later when they sneak back in and save the day.

This fits in with our desire to introduce various of the groups during the scenario so that we can both fill out the scene in length and also show the audience what other entertainment is available throughout the festival.
