Manos: The Hands of Fate: The Musical.
By Quamp.
Author's note: Man, you really get dumb ideas in your head at 3 a.m....
(Scene: Mike, Margaret and Debbie are driving their late 1960's car down a winding country road. Mike drives the car. Note: All lines except those by the narrator are sung out of tune..)
Debbie: Mommy I'm cold again, again, I feel so cold right now.
Margaret: Oh Debbie come and join us now/ up here the front seat is nice and warm...
Announcer: And now Broadways latest disaster: Manos, the Hands of Fate: The musical!
(Next we see the car stopped on the side of the road, with the policeman standing over them.)
Policeman: I notice you have a busted tail light back there. I'm afraid I'll going to have to give you a warning now.
Mike: Oh please forgive me officer, I didn't know it was busted.
Policeman: I'll forgive you this time if you have the tail light fixed. Now go about your business.
Chorus: Hooray!
Announcer: That's right, one of the worst movies of all time comes to life on Broadway as a great musical! Hey, if it worked for Little Shop of Horrors, it will work here too!
(Next we see Mike, Debbie and Margaret meeting Torgo for the first time.)
Torgo: mY nAmE is TorGO. I TaKe CaRe oF thE plACe wHilE thE MasTEr iS aWaY.

(Next we see the Master's wives talking to each other. The master is with them.)
Wife #1: Rejoice! Rejoice! A child has come! A child for the will of Manos!
Wife #2: No the child must die! Die! She is too young/ to bear children for Manos!
Wife #1: But she will grow up someday/ Be happy and gay/ Bearing children for Manos!
Master: Enough I say! Your tongue you must stay! The will of Manos be done! So what do you say?
