The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

Dr. Parnassus believes in the power of imagination to transport the human soul to fantastic places. The Devil disagrees and insists that people always regress toward their primitive nature. This sparks a competition between the two as to how many souls they can convert to their respective sides. Over the years, Parnassus makes different deals with the Devil in order to help his own cause, one of which results in giving up his only child on her 16th birthday if he cannot purify 5 souls before the date. At least I think that’s what it was about?

Idiot Chittix  Come one, come all! To the Idiotarium of Doctor Poonassis!
Spherx What the hell is this?
Idiot Chittix  It’s a doorway into your imagination! Step through this mirror and enter a world of wonder!
 Spherx Are you fucking nuts!?! If I walk into that mirror it’s gonna break and cut me to shreds!
 Idiot Chittix
Nonsense! It’s a magic mirror. It will take you anywhere you wanna go!
Spherx 
That’s impossible. What are you really doing here?
Idiot Chittix  Oh Spherx, has the daily grind of hosting an obscure website blinded you from the fantasy splendor that exists in all of us?
  Spherx Ok. If this is for real, why don’t you show me? You walk through the mirror.
Idiot Chittix  Alright. If that’s what you need to convince you.
 
(IC steps out from behind his podium and faces the mirror)
 Idiot Chittix Watch as I step into the forgotten power of imagination!
 Bug (no helmet)
Stop! Don’t go in there!
 Spherx Bug? Where’s your helmet? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you without it.
 Bug (no helmet) Idiot Chittix stole it! He’s using it as his ‘Imaginarium’!
Idiot Chittix  Lies!
Bug (no helmet) 
Nobody go in there! That helmet is only for taking stuff out of, not putting things in! You’ll destroy the space-time continuum!
Idiot Chittix  I’ve already gone in Bug. And I saw the most amazing things! The rest of the world must enjoy it as I have!
 Bug (no helmet) You already went in? I don’t understand. We shouldn’t be here. The universe should have collapsed on itself by now.
Idiot Chittix  See. Show’s how little YOU know!
  (IC turns toward the mirror)
 Idiot Chittix Goodbye friends! See you in magic land!
  (IC runs at the mirror which breaks upon impact and dozens of glass shards slice through his body)
 Idiot Chittix (bleeding) (crying) OWWWWWWWWW!!!!
 Spherx Oh my god!
Bug (no helmet)  I’ll get some adhesive strips.
 Spherx Quick! He’s losing a lot of blood.
 Idiot Chittix (bleeding) (crying) I don’t understa-and. It worked in muh-my dream la-last night…
  (Evil Sferx materializes out of thin air)
 Evil Sferx That’s because dreams aren’t real IC.
 Bug (no helmet) Evil Sferx!
 Spherx (with scorn) What are you doing here? I thought we ran you outta here!
 Evil Sferx Oh, just dropping by to play a little game. Tell me IC, are you a betting chittix?
 Idiot Chittix (bleeding) I bet I’m gonna d-die if Bug doesn’t g-get b-back with those band-aids ss-soon…
Evil Sferx  Oh, does it hurt? You know, I can take that pain away if you play my little game.
Idiot Chittix (bleeding)  P-Please. Anything. This hurts worse than that anal fissure I had.
Spherx  No IC! You can’t trust him!
Evil Sferx  At the age of 16, you will give me your first born child. In return, I will fix you up.
Idiot Chittix (bloody)  Done!
  (Evil Sferx disappears and IC stands up, wounds healed)
 Bug Einme I’m back with the adhesive strips. Guess what? I found my helmet. It was under a pile of abacuses all along!
 Spherx IC! What have you done?
 Idiot Chittix Psh! Joke’s on that fucker. I’m already older than 16!
 Spherx No, not you. He meant when your child turns 16!
 Idiot Chittix Joke’s still on him. I shoot my children into a sock.
