Neils Script Annotation

	[South Park, day. Now showing at the South Park Community Theatre] [Fanfare begins with a drumroll, a spotlight hits its mark on stage and an announcer speaks]
Announcer:	Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for JIMMY! [the curtains part and Jimmy walks forward wearing a tuxedo] Thank you! Wow. What a terrific audience.[the curtains close behind him] I know what most of you are thinking. "Hey, uh-that guy stole my show..." [long pause] Wow, what a great audience. And how about this Michael Jackson guy, huh? I mean, come on... [long pause] Wow, what a great audience. [the soft sound of one person clapping is heard]Uh... l... lights, please? [the house lights click on and only one person is seen in the seats: Butters]
Butters:	Hey Jimmy.
Jimmy:	Butters, w-where is everybody?
Butters:	Oh yeah, well, about that... Christopher Reeve came to town to do some kind of show, and everyone went to see him.
Jimmy:	Christopher Reeve? Christopher Reeve?!
Butters:	You know, Christopher Reeve, the guy who played Superman.
Jimmy:	I know who he is! But why is everyone ditching my comedy show to see him?!
Butters:	Ww-well, because he got crippled, but now he can move his finger. He is an inspiration to us all. That's why everyone ditched on your show.
Jimmy:	So then, how come you came?
Butters:	Well, because I said I would. Oh, I'm a dork, huh? [Jimmy stews on stage]
	[South Park Town Sq... Kenny McCormick Memorial Town Square. Mayor McDaniels is on stage with her aides. Above them a banner reads "STEM CELL RESEARCH." A crowd of people has formed in front of the stage]
Mayor McDaniels:	And so without further ado, here's the most courageous, most amazing man on the planet, Christopher Reeve. [everyone claps and the curtains open. The mayor and her aides step aside. Christopher Reeve rolls out towards the mic. Jimmy shows up to watch.]
Reeve:	Thank you, thank you, wow, what a great audience. [stops to catch his breath with a fixed smile in place] I just flew into South Park. [catches his breath]Used to be I didn't need an airplane.
Townspeople:	Awwwww. [a smattering of applause]
Reeve:	As most of you know, [catches his breath] I am a strong supporter of stem-cell research.
Jimmy:	Say, fellas! Thanks a lot for goin' to my ...c-comedy show! ["It is a proven fact that stem-cell research"]
Cartman:	We didn't go to your comedy show.
Jimmy:	I know that, I was being f-f-f-fa...cetious! can add many years to the lives of people who have been disabled by accidents
Stan:	Look, dude. Christopher Reeve, dude. ["or other ways."]
Jimmy:	Ooh, Christopher Reeve! Whoop-de-freakin-do!
Kyle:	Dude, that's not cool. You shouldn't make fun of Christopher Reeve.
Stan:	Yeah dude, not cool.
Reeve:	Though it is controversial, [catches his breath] stem cell research is critical [catches his breath] in the quest for helping [catches his breath] the disabled.
Jimmy:	I put together a comedy show and I was crippled from BIRTH! [waddles off in a huff]
Stan:	Uh, hoo. Guys, I think we'd better stay out of this one.
Kyle:	Yeah, this is starting to look like something we shouldn't be any part of. Let's go play with trucks or something. [they turn right and trot off]
Timmy:	Ha-a-aaa-haaa-a.
