How To Interrogate A Writer(Transcript)

The main 6 were heading to the library when all of the sudden, a lot of book characters are everywhere. There's Harry, Hermione, Ron, Voldemort, Dumbledore and Snape from the Harry Potter book series, Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Olaf from A Series of Unfortunate Events and Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, Primrose "Prim" Everdeen and President Coriolanus Snow from Hunger Games.
Reece: What is going on?
Zoe: Looks like books are coming to life.
Blake: Then what are we going to do?
George: We must talk to their writers.
Zoe: How? Daniel Handler and Suzanne Collins are not from here.
Kandace: But J.K Rowling is from here.
Zoe: Hey Kandace, you alright? What are you doing here?
Kandace: Shawn and I were just picking up another Harry Potter book.
Shawn: Yeah, until this happens.
George: Maybe we can interrogate these 3 writers right now, Handler and Collins are in London already.
Zoe: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.
After like 30 minutes, they got J.K Rowling, Daniel Handler and Suzanne Collins in the auditorium. It is time to interrogate them.
Zoe: So your books have been coming to life, starting with yours, J.K Rowling.
J.K: Is it my Harry Potter books?
Kandace: Yes and it is like your books are coming to life, now all of the wizards and witches are casting spells all over the place.
George: And your books, Daniel Handler are also coming to life. Plus they are Zoe's favorites.
Daniel: Oh really? Is it Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events?
George: Yes, and now Count Olaf is hunting the Baudelaires all over the library
Brad: And for you Suzanne Collins, your books are all coming to life. You know, Hunger Games?
Suzanne: Ah that one, I didn't know my books could come to life.
Daniel: Neither do I.
J.K: Guys, thank you for our time but we have a book festival to attend in London.
Luke: Guys, I've heard that Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens and J. R. R Tolkien's books are also coming to life.
The authors left for the book festival leaving New Hope Choir and the theatre kids going back the library. A lot of book characters have been coming to life.
Emily: Who has been doing this?
Zoe: Annika, but we can't accuse her, she doesn't even like books.
Jenny: Of course, she hates everything.
Reece: So what are we going to do?
George: We are going to start with British books, Zoe, read Roald Dahl's The Twits.
Zoe: There were once a couple named Mr and Mrs Twit. They are not pleasant people. Mr. Twit has a long sticky beard where he saves his food crumbs and he is drunk, he loves drinking beer. Mrs. Twit has a cane used to hit innocent children, what's creepy about her is that she has a glass eye. They love making pranks along with abusing monkeys from Africa.
The Twits characters are now back to their book. Now it is Brad's turn to read another Roald Dahl book, The BFG.
George: Do you know how to read, The BFG.
Brad: Of course, I watched the movie. There was once an orphan named Sophie who was taken by a giant who calls himself the BFG. He kept her safe from his neighbors who aren't as friendly as him. He took Sophie to a dream land where he catches dreams and gives them to children.
After Brad read the BFG, the characters are back to the book. Now it is Troy's turn to read The Landlady.
Troy: Once upon a time, there was a 17-year-old teenager named Billy who moved to Bath and he was looking for a cheap motel to be in. He met the landlady who stuffed the dog and the parrot. He signed his name in the book of names where he discovered 2 more names and he was familiar with them. They are Christopher Mulholland, and Gregory W. Temple.
The 50-year-old landlady and Billy went back to their book. And then it is Blake's turn to read A Christmas Carol.
Blake: It is Christmas time and everyone was happy. All except a miser named Mr. Scrooge, he is interested in money instead of Christmas. Then a ghost came up to him telling him that 3 more ghosts will appear in front of him, they are the ghost of Christmas past, ghost of Christmas present and ghost of Christmas future.
All of the characters of A Christmas Carol came back to their book. Everyone else read every book the characters came out of but the last book is Matilda.
Jenny: The last one is Matilda.
Zoe: Yeah, then let's read this.
Kandace: Wait, remember we are making a musical about this? Let's perform a song from the musical.
Jenny: Good idea.
Reece: And a 1 and a 2 and a 1 2 3 4.

Luke: #One can hardly move for beauty and brilliance these days #It seems that there are millions of these one-in-a-millions #These days #Special-ness seems de rigueur #Above average is average—go figure #Is it is come modern miracle of calculus #That such frequent miracles don't render each one un- #Miraculous#

Calum: #Every life I bring into this world restores my faith in humankind #Each new-born life, a canvas yet unpainted... #This still unbroken skin... #This uncorrupted mind... #Every life is unbelievably unlikely #The chances of existence #Almost infinitely small #The most common thing in life is life #And yet every single life #Every new life is a miracle! Miracle!#
Danna: #Oh, my undercarriage doesn't feel quite normal #My skin looks just revolting in this foul fluorescent light #And this gown is nothing like the semi-formal, semi-Spanish gown I should be wearing in the semi-finals tonight #I should be dancing the tarantella #Qui mon fella Italiano #Not dressed in hospital cotton #With a smarting front bottom #And this horrible...#

Zoe: #My mummy says I'm a lousy little worm #My daddy says I'm a bore #My mummy says I'm a jumped-up little germ #That kids like me should be against the law #My daddy says I should learn to shut my pie hole #No one likes a smart-mouthed girl like me #Mum says I'm a good case for population control #Dad says I should watch more TV#
It worked as every character from Matilda came back to their book.
Jenny: Guys, it worked.
Zoe: George, am I a little smart-mouthed for you?
George: Of course not, even though you are smarter than all of us, I love you because of who you are. Also I love books because of you.
Zoe: That's good.
Blake: I think we didn't cover all of the books, we forgot about books about World War 2.
Zoe: The POWs of Changi prison in Singapore.
George: The Holocaust.
Zoe: Adolf Hitler.
George: Winston Churchill.
Zoe: Joseph Stalin.
Jenny: The principal? Really?
Zoe: No, the historical figure who was one of the worst dictators.
George: Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Zoe: The Thai-Burma death railway.
George: The march of Bataan.
Zoe: The New Guinea campaign.
George: The execution of Leonard Siffleet.
Zoe: The Battle of London.
George: The Battle of Mayday.
Zoe: The Fall of Singapore.
George: The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Brad: You guys don't want to reenact the second world war, do you?
Zoe: We don't, let's read some more books about the second world war.
Kandace: I'm scared now.
Raphael: Me too.
Zoe and George started reading world war 2 books about certain topics so that the library won't turn into a battlefield. After reading a book about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, everyone is back in their books.
Zoe: It's over guys, everyone is back to their books.
Jenny: You know what that means.
Song: When I Grow Up Reprise from Matilda
All: #When I grow up #I will be tall enough to reach the branches that I need to #Reach to climb the trees you get to climb when you're grown up #And when I grow up, I will be smart enough to answer all the questions that #You need to know the answers to before you're grown up #And when I grow up, I will eat sweets everyday on the way to work and I #Will go to bed late every night #And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons until my #Eyes go square and I won't care because I'll be all grown up #When I grow up #When I grow up, when I grow up, when I grow up, I will be strong enough to #Carry all the heavy things you have to haul around when you a grown up #And when I grow up, when I grow up, when I grow up, I will be brave enough#To fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed each night to #Be a grown up #And when I grow up, and when I grow up I will have treats everyday and I'll #Play with things that mum pretends that mums don't think are fun #And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will spend all day just #Lying in the sun, and I won't burn because I'll be all grown up #When I grow up #When I grow up, I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have #To fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown up #When I grow up #Just because you find that lifes not fair it doesn't mean you just have to #Grin and bear it. If you always take it on the chin and bear it #Just because I find myself in this story doesn't mean that everything is #Written for me if I think the ending is fixed already. I might as well be #Saying I think that it's ok #And that's not right #And if it's not right #You have to put it right#
Blake: Well done guys.
Reece: Yeah, if it wasn't for you, the library would be a battlefield.
Zoe: Then what would happen if the library would be a battlefield?
Brad: Bad things would happen, Hitler would attack London again, Winston Churchill would kick Boris Johnson out of the parliament house, Joseph Stalin would turn the Russian Federation back to the Soviet Union and more.
George: Well that would be horrible experience, even if we are at the middle of a pandemic.
Zoe: Yeah.
Jenny: Guys, what are you standing there for? We have to head back to the auditorium, c'mon.
Reece: Anyone want to follow Jenny?
Blake: Let's do it.
Brad: I agree with Blake.
Zoe: Yeah.
Everyone: (laughs)
