Energy On Stage

The Jetsons: Trouble in the Sea of Tranquility GEORGE: Mr. Spacely owns the property and is the boss here. We’re about to land. Fasten your seat belts. Luna Spacely, here we come. (They land, get out of their Astrocar, and stretch.) JUDY: Can we eat now? I’m starved. Can we please go to the Photosynthesis Food Court? It’s my favorite place. JANE: Let’s go, George. They’re featuring their Biomass Buffet today. (They exit.)

Scene III (Setting: The loading platform for the Yesterday in Energy Time Travel Tram Ride. Tour guide enters with a group of tourists.) TOUR GUIDE: Well, folks, I hope you enjoyed your visit to the windmills from 17th century Holland all the way to wind farms in 21st century California. TOURISTS: It was very informative, if a bit long-winded. TOUR GUIDE: To continue your whirlwind tour, follow me to the wind simulator. In here, we replicate the conditions on Earth to show how wind is produced—right down to the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. Please walk this way. (Tour guide walks in a funny way—swinging his arms like a windmill—and all the tourists walk the same way as they exit. The Jetsons enter.) GEORGE: Boy, that sure was a great buffet. I really liked the AgriWaste Salad. The fruit pits, corncobs, and rice hulls really hit the spot. JANE: And I’m glad they use the alcohol produced from the biomass over at the hospital. GEORGE: Well, what do you all want to see first? ELROY: I want to go to the Crater Critter Corral Petting Zoo. JUDY: I want to go to the Meteor Merchandise Mall. JANE: Well, why don’t we ride the Yesterday in Energy Time Travel Tram first, since we’re right here? GEORGE: That’s a good idea. And keep your eyes peeled for strange behavior by the employees. I’m here to work, remember. (The Tour Guide and some Tourists return.) TOUR GUIDE: All Aboard! (Tourists, Judy, Elroy, and Jane get on tram. George is still looking offstage.) Come on, Jetson, if you want to ride. The Tram is leaving. (George hurries on.) GEORGE: I wonder how he knew my name.
