Raises, XDR to window, and opens the window out wards.
Brian : Hello Mimi…..yes I know your tired , but don’t worry about it , it will be over so fast you probably won’t even notice ….here’s a snack to calm your nerves down……ok take a little rest , the team will be here any minute , and you probably will need some extra energy for the delivery
There’s a knock on the door, and Brian XDL to open the door, Mrs. Samba enters door DL, Brian closes the door DL.
They share ¼ positions
Brian: Nice timing Mrs. Samba…the team has already been contacted and I believe Dr. Brown will be here any minute.
Mrs. Samba : Great … I wouldn’t miss this for anything……our most famous mother is giving birth…..ohhh the press is going to have a field day
Brian: hahahaha…I bet they are … I don’t even think Nicole Kidman had this much publicity when she was delivering……here we can see the progress from the monitor set.
They both XDC and sit on chairs.
Mrs.Samba: Oh….how delightful….you know we can us this when we edit that documentary coming up …..Thank god it’s not too graphic or Disney and Discovery Kids would probably drop out the production …..And you know how important their checks are.
Brian: Of course ….but I don’t think Mimi will really like this angle or the lighting ……no…doesn’t really show her more fine features.
Mrs. Samba: You know she really doesn’t…… look good …..she seems kind of restless……oh…….you left the window open silly… it’s making her nervous …….don’t you know how to deal with women
Brian : Or maybe she’s just hungry…you know what you can throw her a lamb if you want to….and maybe some chicken blood too, that usually chills down her nervous……why you making that face for , she’s had a very unusual appetite lately .
Mrs. Samba rises, and XDR to window
Mrs.Samba: Hello Mimi….I is going to close this window if that’s ok with you darling…it is….ok here I go….oh wait I almost forgot your little treat.
After she throws her the lamb she closes the window and XDR above chair and sits on chair and dials the phone.
Mrs. Samba: Isn’t she is just the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen…the supermodel of her kind.
Brian: Yeah she is …I hope the babies come out looking like her, because their father is just ugggggggggggg.
Mrs. Samba: Give him a break
Mrs. Samba dials the phone
Mrs. Samba : Hello…is this Martha Balboa….yes this Julia Samba from the National Australian Zoo in Sydney Australia…well we made an appointment for your news team to come over to the Zoo and tape the birth of Mimi the tiger delivery …yes well we had scheduled the appointment to be set in 3 weeks but Mother nature has kind of changed her mind about how things are going to play out…well Mimi is going in to delivery mode earlier then we thought , earlier meaning in less then 25 hours earlier , and were wondering if you can get here as soon as possible…yes I know it’s the holiday’s, but we have no way to make Mimi stop she’s in full throttle it’s no stopping her now….your on your way…ok great…see you soon , and I’m truly sorry for the last minute call…ok god bless .
Brian rises, XRC above chair, and Mrs. Samba XLC above chair.
Brian: what was the name of the reporter again?
Mrs. Samba: Hush…Martha Balboa of Channel 5 News.
Brian: Martha …how do you spell Balboa?
Mrs. Samba: B-A-L-B-O-A
Brian writes note on table
Brian XLC and sits in chair where Mrs. Samba is already sitting.
Brian :Dr. Brown should be here in any minute, and looks like the team set every thing together properly……ok I think one of us should go check on the news cast while the other one stays here and monitors the progress, we don’t want News team to get lost now do we .
Mrs. Samba: Ok I’ll go…but you better record this, I at least want something to watch if I miss the delivery …well see you later Brian.
Mrs. Samba rises and exits door DL, with Brian rising, and XDL and closing the door.
