SCRIPT:
(Esmeralda is in her bedroom sleeping. May enters and tries to wake her up)
MAY: Esmeralda, Esmeralda, wake up.
ESMERALDA: (groans) Hmmm… Where am I? What time is it?
MAY: You’re home, and it’s almost midnight.
(There’s a knock at the door)
MAY: That must be June.
(May opens the door. June enters)
JUNE: Hello! Where’s Aunt Esmeralda?
MAY: She’s still in bed.
JUNE: At this hour?!
MAY: You’d better talk to her… it’s getting late.
(May and June go into the bedroom)
JUNE: Aunt Esmeralda, it’s me, June. Come on, get up!
ESMERALDA: I feel sick. My head hurts a lot.
JUNE: I know. It’s because of all the potion you drank last night.
ESMERALDA: Last night? What happened last night?
MAY: Don’t you remember?
ESMERALDA: No. I can hardly remember my name!
JUNE: Last night you celebrated your first hundredth birthday, dear aunty!
MAY: (to Esmeralda) Let me help you get out of bed. (She tries to help Esmeralda get out of bed. Esmeralda stumbles and almost falls to the floor, then sits back on the bed) Be careful!
ESMERALDA: I feel dizzy. I need a mirror. (June brings her a mirror) Oh! I am terribly ugly. Ha, ha, ha, ha! I’m feeling better already!
JUNE: You’re the scariest witch in the haunted forest, aunty.
ESMERALDA: And I’m very proud of it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
JUNE: How do you feel now that you are a hundred years old?
ESMERALDA: I feel wonderful! Especially because I look so hideous and children are terrified when they see me.
JUNE: You’re so lucky to celebrate your birthday on Halloween Day!
ESMERALDA: Oh, yes, I am!
MAY: I feel so sorry for Grandma now that she’s over a thousand years old.
JUNE: Me too. As she ages, she just gets prettier and prettier. No one is afraid of her!
MAY: Now, instead of running away from her, kids want to give her hugs!
ESMERALDA: Poor Grandma! I really wouldn’t want to be in her skin.
JUNE: You mean her shoes?
ESMERALDA: No, her skin!
MAY: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Neither would I. I don’t ever want to get younger! Ugh, that must be terrible!
(Esmeralda continues admiring herself in the mirror)
ESMERALDA: Look at me. I am really, really ugly, don’t you think?
JUNE: Yes, aunty, and your hair makes you look completely awful, too!
ESMERALDA: Oh, I’m so hungry!
MAY: Let me get you some of the magic soup I made especially for you.
(May leaves and returns with a bowl of magic soup. Esmeralda eats it)
JUNE: Are you feeling better?
ESMERALDA: Yes, much better, thank you.
JUNE: Let me see your crown, aunty.
ESMERALDA: What crown? I don’t have a crown.
MAY AND JUNE: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
MAY: You’re still wearing it!
(Esmeralda reaches for her head, feels a crown, and takes it off)
ESMERALDA: No wonder I have such a headache!
JUNE: It’s so hideously beautiful!
ESMERALDA: Where did this come from?
MAY: You’re Miss Halloween!
ESMERALDA: Miss Halloween?
MAY: Yes! At your party, Jack Skellington crowned you Miss Halloween!
ESMERALDA: Was there a contest? At my party?
JUNE: Yes, and you won because you were the ugliest witch of all!
MAY: After the contest, everybody danced—vampires, mummies, wolves, witches, skeletons, and even the ghosts! It was so much fun. It was the best birthday party in the whole wide world!
JUNE: How did it feel dancing with the Headless Horseman?
ESMERALDA: Oh, he was terribly boring. He didn’t even talk! …And who brought us home?
MAY: The vampires. They dropped us off before flying back to their castle to get into their coffins before sunrise.
(There is a loud knock at the door. May opens it. Witch 1 and Witch 2 enter)
WITCH 1: (yelling) Wake up! Wake up!
ESMERALDA: Why are you yelling? I am awake!
WITCH 2: We came for you! You don’t turn a hundred every day. Let’s keep the party going!
ESMERALDA: Where are we going?
WITCH 1: We don’t know yet, but we can definitely have fun scaring people!
JUNE: Yeah! We can even go to the cemetery to dance with the ghosts and skeletons!
ESMERALDA: Perfect. Grab your brooms—let’s fly high!
(They put on their witch hats, grab their broomsticks, and fly out)
