MISER: Misery and

Miserabla, Act 2.

"And don't get me started on

my termite infestation."

Uh, so what else is new,

Miserabla?

"You mean besides my phlebitis?

And this crick in my neck?"

Maybe it just needs an

adjustment.

[Grunting]

"Whoa, that's better.

Except for my pleurisy,

my whooping cough--"

[Screaming]

"This sudden headache..."

[Sighing]

"Ow!

My head."

"Ouch."

"Again with the head."

"Whoa!"

"Whew, that oughta do it."

Uh, I didn't quite get that.

"That's because there's a scarf

over my mouth!"

Sorry, Miserabla, I can't tell

what you're saying with that

scarf over your mouth.

That's our set for tonight.

We'll be back soon.

Right, Miserabla?

"Get this thing off of me,

Misery!"

SCAREDY: One, two, three,

four!

[Drumming]

?

?

Yeah!

Killer!

Wow, great new tune, guys.

Thanks, Skull Boy.

It's the title track of our next

album, "Rock Us."

Nice play on words, Frank.

It's raucous, all right.

Yeah, it is.

"Rock Us."

That's the title.

Scaredy is especially raucous

in his drum solo.

She's a sweet girl, but why

does she keep repeating the

title of our album?

It must mean she likes it.

Thank you for noticing, Ruby.

You are too kind.

How could I not?

You're a great drummer.

Yep, Len and I call him our

little bat with the big beat.

Which is way better than a

big bat with a little beat.

What amazes me is how

different you are behind the

kit.

Different, you say?

Yeah, you're usually so shy

and quiet, but you don't seem to

mind us watching you drum out.

Not to mention all of us in

the audience at your record

release concert next week.

You are right.

I am not the least bit afraid!

But if I am not afraid, there

must be something very wrong!

And that makes me very afraid!

Sorry, Frank and Len, but I must

resign my position as your big

beat effective immediately.

FRANK: Scaredy--

LEN: Wait--

That was weird.

It's almost like he quit because

of what we said.

Really?

Almost like?

Try exactly like.

Like, exactly.

Oops.

[Nervous chuckling]

Hello, Gloomsville!

We're here to rock your gloomy

world!

This isn't working, guys.

Scaredy always counts us in.

He was our most reliable

counter-inner.

Worst of all, we have a

record to finish and only days

to do it in.

And we don't have a drummer.

No need to rub it in, Len.

Maybe we can find another

counter-inner... drummer.

Hey!

[Sneezing]

Don't worry, lads.

If you need a drummer, I've got

the beat in me bones.

[Coughing]

I'll go see what I can do

about getting Scaredy back.

Good idea.

In the meantime, we can always

use our trusty old drum machine.

Or...

I can invent you a cool new one!

[Kazoo buzzing]

Wow, this is, uh, some fun.

Huh, Misery?

Yeah, I haven't had so much

fun since...

[Drill whirring]

Why are we doing this again,

Ruby?

We're trying to lure Scaredy

back to drumming.

We'll start him off on a

triangle, and slowly work

him up to bongos.

If my plan works, he'll be back

with Frank and Len in no time.

Oh, here he comes now!

?

That is an oddly compelling

tune.

Thanks!

Want to join?

And look, we just happen to

have an extra triangle.

Oh...

Shiny.

I am in.

Great!

But play this instead.

B-b-b-bongo drums?

No!

[Sighing]

So much for my big plan.

Now what?

How about "Mary Had a Little

Lamb?"

No, Iris.

I meant what do we do about

Scaredy?

Um, you're a disgraced queen

about to go to the gallows?

RUBY: I get it.

Doom is saying we should try

using reverse psychology.

Hey, yeah.

If you tell Scaredy that Frank

and Len don't need him, he'll

come back just to prove them

wrong.

I don't know, guys.

Who's to say it'll even work?

Yeah, you're probably right.

It's bound to fail.

It has absolutely no chance of

working whatsoever.

Hey, don't give up, Misery.

We can do this.

Let's give it a try.

Wait a second...

Reverse psychology.

Wow, it really does work.

So, um, you see, uh...

Yes, Ruby?

You are wanting to tell me

something?

Yes, um, we think that, um,

don't take this personally,

but--

[Whispering] Remember,

reverse psychology.

[Whispering] For his own

good.

You can't drum worth beans

and Frank and Len don't need you

in their band!

Sorry.

Wa-hoo!

Wa-hoo?

Yes, absolutely wa-hoo.

I was feeling a tad guilty for

letting the guys down, but by

telling me the truth, you have

lifted a great weight from my

shoulders!

Oh, thank you, Ruby!

Wait, that wasn't the truth!

I didn't mean it!

I've got to think of a way to

reverse the reverse psychology.

Well, that was a total

success.

What?

It was a complete--

Right.

FRANK: This is so exciting.

I can't wait!

Neither can I!

Is it ready yet?

Is it?

Huh?

Is it?

SKULL BOY: It's ready.

Gentlemen, I give you...

My Beat-tronic 3000.

Patent pending.

Let's kick it, shall we?

?

Cool!

RUBY: Scaredy?

Hi.

I just wanted to say that you

really are a great drummer.

But you just said I was not.

I know.

I only said that so-- so you'd

go back to the band.

It's a reverse psychology thing.

Reverse psycholo-what?

Never mind.

Long story.

The truth is Frank and Len

really need you, and--

And you're the big beat, so--

Scaredy?

Is that you drumming?

No.

Yes, it was me.

Oh, Ruby, I miss drumming very

much!

I am pulled by the beat, then

pushed by the fear.

Pulled and pushed, pulled and

pushed, pulled and pushed, pull,

push, pull, push...

Oh, you get the picture, I hope.

I think you just need to give

yourself another chance.

Another chance?

Oh, I do not know, Ruby.

It appears I can only drum when

no one else is around.

That's weird.

You were drumming a moment ago,

and I was right here.

I think I know how to get you

back behind the kit.

?

Uh, looks like we're going to

need an even better drum

machine.

No need for that, Skull Boy.

Someone's back to rejoin the

band.

Hello.

Welcome back, buddy.

There's just one catch.

No one can look at Scaredy when

he's playing.

What about our record release

gig?

Our hordes of fans?

Let's take this one step at a

time.

No looking?

I'm already on it.

On what?

What are you looking at?

Really?

You do not mind pretending that

I am not here?

Funny, I can hear Scaredy but

can't see him.

Uh oh.

Maybe you should see an eye

doctor, Frank.

He's right there.

Len, I don't need an eye

doctor.

I just want Scaredy back.

Wherever he is!

So should we just look away?

I've got a better idea.

We'll just play in the dark.

Hit it, Scaredy!

One, two, three, four!

LEN: All right!

FRANK: Len, no!

Not on the speakers!

[Crashing]

RUBY: Guys, are you okay?

Guys?

Perhaps we should rethink

this?

This two-way mirror was a

great idea, Skull Boy.

Yeah, Scaredy can't see us,

but we can still see him.

LEN: Unfortunately.

Uh, are you ready to go crazy

back there?

Oh, yes indeed, Ruby.

?

Excuse me, but was that

sufficient?

Sufficient?

That was incredible!

Then let us lay down some

tools for our long-playing

record, man!

Shall we?

?

Hmm, looks like the big beat

is back.

I'll say.

I could listen to him play all

night.

Oh yeah!

?

Whoa.

[Gasping]

Uh oh.

He's playing without the

mirror.

And he didn't miss a beat.

There you have it.

Our new hit record officially in

the can.

[Cheering]

Congrats, Scaredy!

Way to go!

You did it!

I did it!

I did it!

Congratulations!

And since I did it once, I

can do it again even better!

One more time, please!

Okay, sure.

FRANK: Ow.

22 more times?

That hurts!

I'll say.

I've got blisters on my fingers!

Ooh, can I see?

Someone still seems pretty

upbeat.

You sounded amazing, Scaredy.

Oh, thank you, Ruby.

Now that I have overcome my

fear, I can drum with unbridled

abandon.

Great, but you might want to

take a break and finish your

dinner.

Oh, yes, quite right.

Thank you.

[Tapping]

Excuse me, Scaredy, but, um--

Oh, sorry.

But I cannot seem to help

myself.

[Tapping]

Sorry.

That was my foot tapping.

Thank you for the delicious

meal.

I shall go to my room to

practice now.

Marvellous idea.

Silence is easier on the

digestion.

[Drumming]

?

Sounding good, boys.

Yes, except I can not hear my

big beat.

Please, perhaps if you could mix

down the guitar just a tiny bit.

More.

More?

A little more?

Keep going.

[No more guitar]

That's it!

[Drumming]

?

Did anyone sleep last night?

I didn't sleep last night!

Anyone else?

?

I couldn't sleep a wink last

night!

Did you fare better?

Of course more milk will make

the cereal better!

?

I hope you guys slept!

Tonight's your big gig!

?

Guys!

Huh?

Oh, sorry.

We're still wearing ear plugs

from last night.

LEN: So we could sleep!

Tonight's our big gig, you know?

[Drumming stops]

Sorry.

[Whispering:] Tonight's our big

gig, you know?

Oh, thank goodness.

Quiet at last.

Glad I could help out, Poe.

I know I said I could listen

to Scaredy all night, but it's

like he's driving us all batty

or something.

POE: Beat crazy is more like

it.

I'm not sure my fragile nose can

take much more!

Um, be a dear and pass the

scones, please, Iris?

Luckily, it sounds like the

little guy's taken a break.

I hate to say it, but maybe

we overdid it with the

encouraging.

Yeah, it's almost like we

created some kind of monster.

RUBY: I'm sure that

everything will be fine.

I'll talk to Scaredy after the

concert.

LEN: [Whispering:] Sounds

like a plan.

Sorry, guys.

We couldn't find Scaredy

anywhere.

Ruby's still out looking,

though.

She didn't want to give up.

CROWD: RIP, RIP, RIP, RIP!

Oh, dear me.

The mob appears to be getting

rather restless.

Who can blame them?

We should have been out there an

hour ago.

Looks like we'll have to

cancel.

Yeah, just wouldn't be the

same without Scaredy.

Crazy little bat.

Give it a few more minutes,

guys.

If anyone can find him, it's

Ruby.

Well, Doom, it looks like the

show will have to go on without

Scaredy.

I sure hope he's okay.

What is it, Doom?

[Drumming]

You hear Scaredy?

Thank goodness cats have great

hearing.

[Drumming]

There you are.

Oh, hello.

Have you come to drive away the

monster or to mock it?

Monster?

You mean--

Did you--

Oh, yes, I heard.

That is why I have come here,

where I can bother no one.

Because they are dead.

I'm sorry, Scaredy.

We didn't mean that you're a

monster.

It's just-- after you got over

your fear of playing, you went a

little--

Overboard?

Obsessive?

O--

Sorry, I cannot think of another

word with O.

It doesn't matter.

What's important to remember is

we all march to the beat of our

own drum.

But sometimes, that drumbeat

has to be aware of other

drumbeats around it, or it will

be a little beat crazy.

Get it?

Oh, I get it, Ruby.

You are truly a good friend.

But why did you not say

something earlier?

I didn't want to make you

nervous before the--

[Gasping]

The concert must have

started!

Oh no!

I have let down my band mates

once again!

Hurry!

Maybe we're not too late!

Thanks for coming out,

Gloomsville.

But we have some bad news.

[Drumming]

[Applause]

?

And by bad, we mean bad!

?

Raucous!

Yeah, Len, that's the name of

our album.

"Rock us."

Now this is what I call

civilized.

I can actually hear myself

think.

Yeah, Scaredy.

What happened to your

bash-bang-boom-crash?

Well, I still enjoy drumming,

but thanks to Ruby, I have

learned I do not have to do it

all the time.

Hear, hear!

Leaving me free to pursue

other worthwhile endeavours.

Such as...

?

Polka?

Oh, dear.

What do you suppose is the

matter with Poe, Frank?

Must be something he ate,

Len.

Yup, must be something he ate.

SKULL BOY Film Night.

With me, Skull Boy.

What cinematic masterpiece do

you have for us today, Skull

Boy?

Just some film I shot of a

star drummer in the making.

Who, me?

Scaredy, you'll never doubt

how good you are after you see

this raw footage.

Oh, thank goodness I did not

know you were filming.

You know how nervous that makes

me.

?

Uh, just a little technical

difficulty.

Oh well, Skull Boy.

Better luck next time.

Oh, but this is the next

time.

Wow.

Smile.

This is Skull Boy Camera.
