Side 1
BARON
I vant that car. The one that defeated us in the Grand Prix. Three times!
BARONESS
But that was years ago-
BARON
I vant it, I vant it, I vant it!
BARONESS
Then you must have it my little teddy bear. Call the spies-
BARON
The spies!
(The BARON picks up a telephone. The spies BORIS and GORAN appear on the opposite side of the stage. A phone rings.)
BORIS
It's the phone!
BORIS, GORAN
The spy phone!
BORIS
(answering the phone)
Hello?
BARON
Hello, is this... you?
BORIS
This is us... is this... you?
BARON
Of course it's me, who else would it be?
BARONESS
Give me the phone.
(taking the phone)
Is this Boris, the spy?
BORIS
Yes, this is Boris the spy - I mean - what's the password?
BARONESS
The password is, I vill have you hung upside down by your pinkie toes unless you speak to me now.
BORIS
That works, how can I help you?
BARONESS
Boris darling, we vant the car.
BARON
(into the phone)
The one that wins the Grand Prix-
BORIS
But it crashed and burned; nobody knows what happened to it.
BARONESS
It's in England at a place called Coggins Garage. I vant that car brought to Vulgaria in time for the Baron's birthday celebration. Find it or else.
(The BARONESS slams the phone onto its cradle.)
BARON
You know vhat you are to me, don't you my darling?
BARONESS
Remind me.
Side 2
BARONESS
(answering the phone)
Vulgaria, top secret war room, how may I help you? Oh, it's Boris-
(The BARON takes the phone.)
BARON
Vhat's that you say? You've located the car's inventor?
BARONESS
Bring him to us!
BARON
(into the phone)
Bring him to us-
BARONESS
And the car?
BARON
(into the phone)
And the car? You say, the car is by the seaside?
BARONESS
We'll send a warship.
BARON
(into the phone accidentally)
My chu-chi face would send a big ol' warship all the way to England just to get me the best birthday present ever?
BARONESS
Chu-chi-woot-chi-oo-chi.
BARON, BARONESS
(ad-libs in baby talk)
Chu-chi-oo-chi-woot-chi-oo-chi-
BARON
(responding to BORIS, who is still on the phone)
Vhat? No! That's not code. Stay right there, we're sending a warship. Goodbye.
