Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1987)

This is a script I wrote on 3 October 1987.

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET: DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE!

CAST

ABBOTT: MARTIN
COSTELLO: PAUL
DR. JEKYLL: FIDEL
MR. HYDE: GLEN

Dr. Jekyll is in his laboratory. His good friends are Abbott and Costello. He calls them and asks them if they want to see his new experiment. They decide to come over. Dr. Jekyll drinks the potion before Abbott and Costello get there. Dr. Jekyll falls to the floor. When he gets up, he is Mr. Hyde! Abbott and Costello come in. They see Mr. Hyde.

COSTELLO: Gosh, Doc, you ought to see a doctor!

MR. HYDE: This is my experiment. What do you think of this great discovery?

COSTELLO: If that is a great discovery, I'd hate to see what a not-so-great discovery looks like!


ABBOTT: Well, come along Costello. The doctor has work to do.

MR. HYDE: Wait, you can't leave! You cannot escape Mr. Hyde!

ABBOTT: Mr. Hyde? You mean you're not Dr. Jekyll?

MR. HYDE
: No!

Abbott and Costello run out of the house.

THE END

Nice. I'm a huge A&C fan, I'd watch it. This wouldn't be any worse the the actual A&C Meet Jekyll and Hyde. Haha. I just don't get why you named the characters only to have Bud and Lou refer to each other by their first names.

Last names, I mean. :)
