Chutes And Ladders(Transcript)

It is a nice day, the theatre kids were hanging out with the choir kids in the choir classroom. Blake and Reece were busy making a board game for a school project.

Zoe: Hey Blake, hey Reece.

George: You alright?

Brad: What are you making back there?

Reece: Making a twist to Chutes and Ladders.

Blake: Making it like a video game, you could be zapped in and out of this game.

Troy: I see.

Reece: This is supposed to be a school project because we are competing against Victoria and the mean girls.

Luke: Oh.

Reece: So in order to test this, we are going to-

Reece accidentally pressed the button that zaps people into the game. It had zapped Brad and Troy.

Brad: What happened?

Everyone: Woah.

Devan: What happened there?

Collins: Blake, Reece, what did you do?

Harvey: Brad and Troy were zapped into the game.

Brad: What are we going to do?

Troy: How are we going to beat the game?

Reece: You need to beat the game.

Troy: How?

Blake: Simple, the square you're standing on is both start and finish. You just go around the entire board and land on that square again and you're home free.

Troy: Oh.

Troy was about to move but he was blocked.

Troy: But I can't move from this square!

Reece: Yeah, it's a board game. You have to roll the dice to move.

Reece gave Troy and Brad the die.

Troy: Are you telling me that we have to play the entire game to get out? That's awesome!

Blake: Just make sure you lot finish before the timer runs out, so you don't get trapped there forever.

Troy and Brad: What?

Blake: I said. 'make sure you finish the board game before the timer runs out, so you don't get trapped in there forever.'

Brad: Blake, Reece, why on earth would you make a game that does that?

Reece: We had to make it challenging, Victoria's board game is not even that challenging.

Brad: I love challenges.

Troy: I don't.

Blake: You better get rolling.

Troy rolled his dice and it landed a 2 and a 1.

Troy: 1, 2, 3...

Troy moved to a square where there are mosquitoes.

Troy: Oi, why is there a mosquito on this square?

Reece: That's mosquito alley, you're not going to like it. They could bite and give you malaria.

Blake: Or dengue, depends on the species.

Mosquitoes started biting Troy.

Troy: I don't love it! Brad, roll! Quick!

Brad: Rolling.

Brad rolled his dice and it landed a 4 and a 4.

Brad: Okay, this die has 2 dots on one side and 2 dots on the other side, and I know that 2 plus 2 is 4. And this die looks just like the other die, so it's the same. 4, and 4 plus 4 equals 8...

Reece: That's bonus square, pick a card, any card. Just kidding, you have to take the one the gator gives you.

Brad: Gator? There's nothing British about it.

Then, a gator appeared and picked up a card for Brad.

Brad: Dance with the gator.

Then, dance music started playing and the gator started dancing.

Brad: Let's do it, hey guys, let's dance to this thing.

Everyone: Yeah!

Song: Rolling In The Deep by Adele

Zoe: #There's a fire #Starting in my heart #Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark#

George: #Finally #I can see you crystal clear #Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare#

Blake: #See how I'll leave #With every piece of you #Don't underestimate #The things that I will do #There's a fire #Starting in my heart #Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark

Reece: #The scars of your love #Remind me of us #They keep me thinking that we almost had it all #The scars of your love #They leave me breathless #I can't help feeling#

All: #We could have had it all, #Rolling in the deep, #You had my heart inside of your hand, #And you played it to the beat#

Theatre Troupe: #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep#

All: #We could have had it all, #Rolling in the deep, #You had my heart inside of your hand, #And you played it#

Theatre Troupe: #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep#

Theatre Troupe: #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep #You're gonna wish you never had met me #Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

All: #Yeah, we could have had it all #We could have had it all #Yeah, it all, it all, it all

Boys: #Eh!#

All: #We could have had it all, #Rolling in the deep #You had my heart inside of your hands, #And you played it to the beat, #You could have had it all, #Rolling in the deep, #You had my heart inside of your hands, #And you played and you played and you played #And you played it to the beat#

Then, Troy started rolling his die.

Brad: Look how the dots are laid out! It'll help you remember!

Troy: Hmm. 3 dots are on a diagonal line. That's easy to remember. And this die has one less dot, which is 2. 3 plus 2 is 5...

Troy moved to a square with the bonus card.

Troy: Wow, the music is really loud here!

Brad: I know! Awesome, huh?

Troy: Brad, you know we're trying to get out of this thing, right?

Brad: Right, see you later, alligator.

The music stopped and the gator disappeared.

Brad: Grab a bonus card, Troy.

Troy picked up a bonus card which is a plus 1.

Troy: Plus one.

Blake: That's a great card guys.

Troy: Blake, Reece, what does this 'plus one' card do?

Reece: You can use it to go an extra square at any time. Like, if you used it now, you could go to another mosquito alley!

Brad: My roll.

Brad started rolling his die. Scenes starting cutting to Brad and Troy's scenarios in the game.

Brad: Play badminton with the gator.

Troy: Tropical storm. Oh no!

Brad: Have tea with the gator.

Troy: Wrestle a gator.

They were almost finished with the game.

Brad: This game is awesome!

Troy started spitting out swamp water.

Troy: You're not the one that had to drink swamp water.

Brad: Look! That's the end square! We only need to move 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! We need to roll a 5!

Troy: C'mon five! C'mon!

Troy rolled his die.

Troy: 1 and 1! But that's only 2!

Troy moved to a square with vines.

Troy: Vines?!

Blake: That means you have to watch random vine videos.

Some vines started appearing on screen.

Troy: Man, they were so weird.

Brad: I love it.

Troy: Ugh, Brad, please roll so I can get out of this thing.

Brad: You bet, mate.

Brad got out his die and started rolling them.

Troy: Brad, the dots on that die are in a diagonal line, that's a 3.

Brad: You remembered, I'm impressed. 3 on that die and 2 on this one. 3 plus 2 is 5...

Troy: Brad?

Brad had managed to get out of the game.

Brad: I won the game!

Blake: Great job, little bro!

Zoe: Glad to have you back.

Troy: You lot! I'm still stuck in here!

Blake and Reece: Sorry.

Troy: I'm running out of time!

Brad: Troy, you can do it! You just need to roll a 1, 2, 3 to get out!

Troy: C'mon 3.

Troy started rolling his die.

Troy: 2 and 2! That equals 4!

But he went one square away from the finish line.

Troy: Oh no! I went too far! What do I do?

Blake: You definitely can't go backwards.

Devan: Are you saying that Troy has to play the entire game again to get out?

Ankit: Look at the timer!

Brad: Troy, now that I'm out of the game, you can just keep rolling. So, roll like you have never rolled before!

Troy started rolling his die.

George: Troy, just look at how they're laid out. This die has 4 dots and this die looks just like the 4 die, but with one more dot in the middle. And you know that 4 plus 1 is 5.

Troy: And 4 plus 5 is 9!

Brad: Nice one, Troy! Roll again!

Troy started rolling the die as it shows his scenarios in the game.

Troy: 2 plus 1 is 3!

Troy hit the square with swamp bees.

Troy: Swamp bees.

Brad: Oof, I'm afraid of bees.

Zoe: Me too.

Troy: 1 plus 3 is 4!

Troy hit the square with swamp butterflies.

Troy: Ah! Swamp butterflies?

Zoe: Butterflies are cool, just don't like it when the bother you.

Connor: Glad there's no 'swamp moths,' I'm afraid of moths.

Yuto: Oof.

Troy rolled his die.

Troy: 2 plus 3 is 5!

Then, he got a bonus card.

Troy: Go back 3 spaces.

But he got affected by swamp bees and butterflies.

Troy: Ah! Swamp bees and swamp butterflies!

Then, Troy is close to the end.

Brad: Troy! You're only four spaces away from the end! You need to roll a four!

Troy started rolling his die, but he didn't get a 4.

Brad: 2 plus 1!

Troy: It's 3! Aw, so close! I just need to roll a 1! But I can't roll a 1 because I have 2 dice.

Brad: Troy! The timer!

Troy didn't know what to do, until he realised something.

Troy: I have a 'plus 1' card!

Troy got the plus 1 card.

Troy: By the power of 1!

Reece: Just say 'plus 1' for it to work.

Troy: Oh, plus 1.

Troy managed to reach the finish line and now he can get out of the game.

Everyone: Yes!

Brad: We did it!

Blake: You want us to zap you in this next board game next?

Troy and Brad: No!

Jenny: Guys, can we have lunch? I've heard that they are giving away free ham and cheese sandwiches and we will perform.

Everyone: Yeah!

They went to the cafeteria, energised because they have just finished their lunch and they're excited to perform.

Reece: Is everyone ready?

Audience: Yeah.

Samuel: 1 2 3 4!
