The Dukes Of Calavera
[The scene is the Boar's Nest, a bar and restaurant owned by Boss Hogg. The Dukes - cousins Bo, Luke and Daisy - are sitting at a table with their uncle Jesse. They are having a friendly chat with Cooter, the local mechanic and their friend.]
Bo: So Cooter, how's business?
Cooter: Well, you know how it is. Fixin' cars for folks who can't pay me.
Luke: That's mighty generous of you, Cooter.
Cooter: Aw shucks, it ain't nothin'. I just like to help out when I can.
Daisy: You're a good man, Cooter.
Cooter: Thanks Daisy. You're a sweet gal.
[They all smile and laugh.]
Jesse: Well folks, I hate to break up this party, but we better get goin'. We got some chores to do back at the farm.
Bo: Aw come on Uncle Jesse. Can't we stay a little longer?
Jesse: No sirree. We got work to do and we can't afford to waste time.
Luke: All right Uncle Jesse. We hear ya loud and clear.
Daisy: Okay then. Let's go.
[They all get up from the table and head towards the door.]
Cooter: See ya later Dukes!
Dukes: Bye Cooter!
[As they walk out of the bar, they see a large truck parked outside with a sign that says "Calavera's Carnival". There are colorful banners and posters advertising various attractions such as "The House of Horrors", "The Wheel of Fortune" and "The Amazing Calavera".]
Bo: Hey look at that! A carnival!
Luke: Yeah! And it says it's run by Calavera!
Daisy: Who's Calavera?
Jesse: I don't know Daisy. But I don't like the looks of this.
Bo: Come on Uncle Jesse. Don't be such a sourpuss. It might be fun!
Luke: Yeah! Let's check it out!
Daisy: Yeah! Maybe we'll meet some new friends!
Jesse: All right all right. But don't get into any trouble you hear me?
Dukes: Yes sir!
[They walk towards the truck and see a man standing next to it wearing a black suit and hat with a skull mask covering his face.]
Man (in Spanish accent): Hello there! Welcome to Calavera's Carnival! The most amazing show on earth!
Bo (whispering): Whoa! Look at that guy! He's creepy!
Luke (whispering): Yeah! He looks like he came straight out of one of them horror movies!
Daisy (whispering): I think he's kind of cute!
Jesse (whispering): Daisy! Don't say that!
Man (loudly): Come on in folks! Don't be shy! Step right up and enjoy the ride!
[The Dukes approach the man with curiosity and caution.]
Bo: Hi there. We're the Dukes. We live around here.
Man: Well hello Dukes! I'm Calavera. The owner and mastermind of this carnival.
Luke: Nice to meet you Calavera. What brings you to Hazzard County?
Calavera: Oh you know. Just traveling around and spreading joy and wonder to all the people.
Daisy: That sounds nice.
Calavera: It is nice Daisy. Very nice indeed. And you know what else is nice? You.
Daisy (blushing): Oh!
Jesse (annoyed): Hey now! Watch it mister!
Calavera: Don't worry old man. I mean no harm. I'm just admiring your lovely niece.
Bo (jealous): Yeah well she's not for sale!
Calavera: Of course not Bo. Of course not. She's priceless.
Luke (suspicious): What are you up to Calavera? What's your game?
Calavera: No game Luke. No game at all. Just a simple offer.
Bo: What kind of offer?
Calavera: A free ticket to my carnival of course!
Daisy: Really?
Calavera: Yes really! Come on in and see for yourself! You won't regret it!
Jesse: I don't know about this...
Calavera: Trust me Jesse. It's safe and fun for everyone!
Bo: Well...maybe we could take a look...
Luke: Yeah...maybe...
Daisy: Yeah! Let's go!
Jesse (reluctantly): All right all right. But only for a little while.
Calavera (smiling): Excellent! Follow me then!
[He leads them into the truck which opens up into a large tent with various booths and rides inside.]
Calavera: Welcome to Calavera's Carnival! Where dreams come true!
[The Dukes follow Calavera into the tent and look around in awe and wonder. There are various attractions such as a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, a haunted house, a fortune teller and more.]
Bo: Wow! This is amazing!
Luke: Yeah! How did you fit all this in one truck?
Calavera: It's magic Luke. Pure magic.
Daisy: I love it!
Calavera: I'm glad you do Daisy. And I have something special for you.
Daisy: You do?
Calavera: Yes I do. Come with me.
[He takes her by the hand and leads her to a booth that says "The Amazing Calavera".]
Calavera: This is my booth. Where I perform my most amazing feats.
Daisy: What kind of feats?
Calavera: You'll see Daisy. You'll see.
[He opens the curtain and invites her inside.]
Calavera: Come on in Daisy. Don't be shy.
Daisy (nervously): Okay...
[She enters the booth and the curtain closes behind her.]
Jesse (worried): Daisy!
Bo (angry): Hey! Where are you taking her?
Luke (concerned): What are you doing with her?
Calavera (from inside the booth): Don't worry Dukes. She's in good hands.
Jesse: Let her go Calavera!
Bo: Yeah! Let her go!
Luke: Yeah! Let her go!
[They try to open the curtain but it's locked.]
Calavera (from inside the booth): Sorry Dukes. No peeking.
Jesse: Daisy!
Bo: Daisy!
Luke: Daisy!
[Inside the booth, Daisy is sitting on a chair with wires attached to her head. Calavera is standing next to a machine with knobs and buttons.]
Calavera: Don't be afraid Daisy. This won't hurt a bit.
Daisy: What are you doing Calavera?
Calavera: I'm going to show you something amazing Daisy. Something you've never seen before.
Daisy: What is it?
Calavera: It's your dream Daisy. Your deepest and darkest dream.
Daisy: My dream?
Calavera: Yes Daisy. Your dream. The one you've always wanted but never dared to admit.
Daisy: I don't understand...
Calavera: You will Daisy. You will.
[He turns on the machine and a screen lights up behind them.]
Calavera: Watch Daisy. Watch and enjoy.
[The screen shows a scene of Daisy in a wedding dress walking down the aisle with Bo as her groom.]
Daisy (shocked): What? What is this?
Calavera (smiling): This is your dream Daisy. The one you've always wanted but never dared to admit.
Daisy (confused): But...but...
Calavera (whispering): Shh...shh...don't fight it Daisy. Just let it happen.
[He moves closer to her and puts his arm around her.]
Calavera (whispering): Just let me make your dream come true.
