"DR. JEKYLL & HEIDI"
Part Two
(CU OF DR. JEKYLL WRITING IN HER JOURNAL. THE TONE OF HER VOICE-OVER IS SERIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC, WITH NO HINT OF HER SEXY ALTER EGO.)
DR. JEKYLL (VO)
I awakened next morning in my own bed, not
knowing how I got there, haunted by
fragments of twisted dreams. Much more
work must be done before I dare try it again.
(DISSOLVE TO: DR. JEKYLL WORKING IN HER LABORATORY)
DR. JEKYLL (VO - CONT'D)
But I can't give up now. Not with 51% of the
human race depending on me.
(SFX: A "FAMILIAR" KNOCK ON THE DOOR)
DR. JEKYLL
(sounding annoyed)
Who is it?
DR. HARRIS
It's Bobby.
DR. JEKYLL
I don't know any Bobbies. And I'm very busy.
Come back later.
(DR. HARRIS ENTERS WITH HIS ASSOCIATE, DR. SHWARMA SINGH)
DR. HARRIS
But Hon, what about brunch? I invited Dr.
Singh here to join us. I know a good
Mexican. . .
DR. JEKYLL
I told you, Doctor, I'm very busy. I haven't
time to eat. So -- if you'll excuse me.
DR. SINGH
Hey, no problem. If you two love birds needs
to be alone . . .
DR. JEKYLL
The doctor and I are hardly "love birds,"
Doctor. I can't imagine where you got that
idea. Now, if you'd both leave my lab --
please!
DR. HARRIS
Well, I can take a hint. C'mon, Shwarm.

(MUSIC: JOURNAL WRITING MUSIC)
DR. JEKYLL (VO)
After exhaustive recalculations I concluded
that I had taken too much the first time. So
later that day I took half as much . . .
(DISSOLVE TO: DR. JEKYLL IN BED WITH DR. SINGH. ONCE AGAIN SHE'S TURNED INTO HEIDI. THEY ARE BOTH HOLDING LIGHTED CIGARETTES)
DR. SINGH
You are everything that Dr. Harris ever said
you were.
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
And you are like a Hindu god. One with
many, many hands.
DR. SINGH
I only wish that, somehow, someway, today
could go on for Eternity.
DR. JEKYLL (HEIDI)
Ooh, I love when you speak. You sound so --
intellectual.
(DISSOLVE TO: DR. JEKYLL WRITING IN HER JOURNAL)
DR. JEKYLL (VO)
This time I remembered. But in spite of the
terrible side effects I felt it was imperative that
I inform the faculty of my findings.
(DISSOLVE TO: DR. JEKYLL AT A PODIUM ADDRESSING THE FACULTY. SHE'S DRESSED CONSERVATIVELY. HER ATTITUDE IS STERN AND SERIOUS)
DR. JEKYLL
Gentlemen, I doubt that many of you are
aware of my lengthy search for a suitable
analog of synthetic estrogen...
(DR. JEKYLL STARTS TO TURN INTO HEIDI)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
It's been a long, tiring, and difficult process.
(SHE LOOSENS HER RIBBON BOW TIE AND TAKES OFF HER JACKET)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
Of course, I wouldn't want to bore you with
the details . . .
(COMPLETELY HEIDI NOW, SHE TAKES OFF HER GLASSES AND STARTS TO PLAY WITH HER BLOUSE BUTTONS, BUT THEN SNAPS OUT OF IT AND GOES BACK TO DR. JEKYLL)
DR. JEKYLL
Naturally, funding has been a major problem.
Research into female endocrinology lags far
behind male hormonal research.
(HEIDI AGAIN)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
But then, who wants to hear about that stuff?
My, it certainly is warm in here.
(DR. JEKYLL AGAIN)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
If males in our society suffered the full range of
symptoms associated with estrogen loss this
breakthrough would have occurred years ago.
(HEIDI AGAIN)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
But then I'm sure you all have more important
things to think about. It's so warm in here. I
hope you don't mind if I remove my stockings.
(THE MEN BEGIN TO APPLAUD AND HOOT AND WHISTLE AS HEIDI PUTS ONE FOOT UP ON A CHAIR AND STARTS TO REMOVE A STOCKING)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
My, how you boys carry on.
(BACK TO DR. JEKYLL, SHE STARTS TO ROLL BACK UP HER STOCKING)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
As you can see, gentlemen, there are some
side effects.
(BACK TO HEIDI, SHE STARTS ROLLING HER STOCKING DOWN)
DR. JEKYLL (CONT'D)
But, if we all sleep on it -- I'm sure something
will come up.
(THE PREDOMINANTLY MALE FACULTY GIVERS HER THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE, HOOTS, AND WHISTLES)
