The Taming of the Shrew
Wed Dec 01, 2004 1:14 am
Okay, im supposed to write a script, for TTS. I have to write it in modern language. (Like instead of Hark! Lucentio! its: Lucentio look! ) Here it what I ahve so far. Please feel free to fix any lines that are stupid!(which is probably all of them).Also I'd like it if there where a few funny lines in it using famous celebrities or jokes from movies.
The
Taming
of the
Shrew
(Lucentio and Tranio enter, and talk about their trip?)
Lucentio: Gosh! Finally im at Padua! Tranio, while we are here, let us practice our studies.
Tranio: Yeah! Party! Woo Hoo! *Cough* I mean of course, but let’s not be a couple of wet blankets okay.
Lucentio: (Loud voices come from behind them.) What the heck is that?
(Babtista, Katharina, Bianca, Old Gremio, and Hortensio enter arguing over marriage to Bianca)
Babtista: If I’ve told you once I’ve told you before! You can’t marry Bianca until Katharina is wed fist!
Katharina: (Gives them both the hand)
Gremio and Hortensio: Gross! Im not gonna marry her!
(Lucentio and Tranio look on. Lucentio is dazzled my Bianca’s beauty.)
Lucentio: *Whistles* Hark Tranio! *Points to Bianca*
Tranio: This isn’t the 17 century; we don’t have to talk like that yah know.
(While Bianca is waiting for Kat to get married, she is to have private teachers. This gives the men ideas.)
Babtista:

If I were you, to be original, I'd do the entire thing in ebonics.
Lucentio: L-DAWG IN THE HIZZOUSE, YO! Tizzle, my bizzle, lets get out da books, bro. We gots ta study.
Tranio: WHAT? YEEE-AAHHHHH! OKAY! Let's keep it real, though.
Lucentio: (Loud voices come from behind them.) WHAT DAT?
(Babtista, Katharina, Bianca, Old Gremio, and Hortensio enter arguing over marriage to Bianca)
Babtista: Yo dog, listen up, a'ight? You ain't gonna make Bianca your lady until Katharina gets hitched.
Katharina: (Gives them both the hand)
Gremio and Hortensio: Oh HELL no! It's like the kennel club in here! ARF, dog!
(Lucentio and Tranio look on. Lucentio is dazzled my Bianca’s beauty.)
Lucentio: *Whistle* You so FINE, baby! *Whispers* Check out that shorty, T-Dawg!
Get the drift? And maybe the ghost of Rick James could make an appearance or two.

See the movie '10 Things I Hate About You'. Besides being on of the funniest movies ever, it's entire premise is a modern-day Taming of the Shrew tale ^_^
