RONALD GOES MAD!
This is after his ’empire’ has fallen. Ronald feels conflicting emotions about what happened. This scene is demonstrating that no matter who is in charge, when one falls, another will take their place. The voices in a way are the voices of people who hate and love McDonalds.
(Ronald walks out on to the stage alone, then two voices start talking from behind the boards and slowly move towards him, increasing his insanity)
Hateful voice: What have you done? You’ve ruined yourself and the lives of everyone around you!
Good Voice: No, you gave them what they wanted, you helped them.
Hate: you enslaved them!
Good: you gave them freedom
Hate: you made them obese
Good: you gave them happiness
Hate: you’ve turned into something you’re not
Good: you had to make it this way
Hate: The world was good until you came along
Good: no one can make people happy like you can.
Hate: they hate you
Good: they love you
Hate: loath you
Good: adore you
(the voices moving closer and closer to Ronald while he crumples to the ground)
Ronald: (grabs hold of his head and yells) STOP IT!
Hamburgerler: Sir, is everything alright?
Ronald: can’t you hear them Hamburgerler? The voices? They never stop! They never go away!
Hamburgerler: it’s okay sir, don’t listen to the voices, they are wrong, I’ll go get your medicine and make them go away.
(Hamburgerler walks a little away, grabbing a gun)
(Meanwhile the two voices are continuing to talk in Ronald’s ear)
Hate: they never wanted you
Good: yes they did
Hate: you ruined them
Good: you made them better
(Hamburgerler walks up during this behind Ronald and shoots him in the back of the head – like the scene form Of Mice and Men when George kills Lenny – everything goes silent until Hamburgerler pulls out the phone and talks)
Hamburgerler: Colonel, it’s done, it’s your time now.

THE TAKE DOWN OF RONALD!
This is where the Revolutionaries have decided to take down Ronald. Ronald is in a panic, his McGuards are being over thrown as well as his ’empire’:
(Ronald in his office, looking at monitors on his desk, he is much panicked as his ‘empire’ is crumbling to the ground)
Ronald: (he throws his hands down on the monitor desk) what is going on down there?! Where is my security?!
McGuard 1: (McGuard 1 enters the room out of breath) Sir! We’ve got a break in!
Ronald: (Phone rings, Ronald answers) what’s going on down there?!
McGuard on phone: Sir! It’s the revolutionaries! We don’t know how they’ve done it……. we don’t… have….. gahhhh…….. (Cuts off)
McGuard 2: (Another McGuard enters the room, out of breath as well) Sir, we need to get you out of here! They are coming for you!
(Ronald leaves with the McGuards)

THE REVOLUTIONARIES #3
This scene shows the group of healthy fruits reuniting after running away form Ronald. They discover that it was Apple who sold them out and even after they were found out by Ronald, they still know they need to do something:
(After the 100 recipes the stage goes a little dark, potato walks out onto the stage.)
Potato: (crouching low, sneaking, whispers) Cucumber, where are you?
Cucumber: (Whispering) Potato, is that you?
Kiwi: (pretty much yells out really loud) Hey Brus I’m over here!
Potato and Cucumber: SHHHHHHH
(All three huddle together)
Potato: (grabs cucumber’s shoulders and shakes him) was it you that sold us out!?
Cucumber: No! What about him (points at Kiwi) the night you brought him was the night it all fell apart!
Kiwi: (throws his hands up in defence) it wasn’t me bru!
Cucumber: of course, what was I thinking? Does anyone know where apple got to?
Potato: oh, it must’ve been apple! He disappeared, must’ve tipped off Ronald!
Cucumber: of course! Potato, did you ever check to see if apple was and actual fruit and not the Steve jobs apple?
Potato: well, he did seem a little artificial…
Cucumber: and calculating… And wasn’t Apple bought out by Disney, who was bought out by McDonalds?
Potato: Aye
Cucumber: Damn! We’ve been had!
Kiwi: We still need to do something! What if, we hid in one of the empty office buildings that was directly across from McDonalds?
Cucumber: Allowing us to zip line down into the golden arched fortress
Potato: taking it down from the inside
Kiwi: yes, but how? We don’t have any rope.
Potato: don’t worry, I’ve got plenty
Cucumber: you and your rope.

INVENTION OF THE 100 RECIPIES!
This is after Ronald has spoilt the plans of the Revolutionaries and he then decides to announce early his plans of the 100 recipes. This also reveals the idea that where there is one, there will always be another in the form of the Colonel:
(After the revolutionary scene, Ronald decides to announce to the public earlier that he has created the 100 recipes)
Ronald: (Addressing the Audience) Well ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, your good pal Ronald has done it! I now have the 100 recipes that anyone will ever need!
Hamburgerler: (looks around worried and confused)
(There are two other McGuards doing the normal guard thing)
Ronald: to celebrate this, free cheeseburgers for all!
(Ronald goes silent, mouthing the words, Hamburgerler walks behind the board as well as one of the other guards, and they switch sides of the stage and go on the phone)
Hamburgerler: Colonel, Ronald’s lost it, hide the original recipe and destroy all traces.
Colonel: Alright now, I will do that right away.
Hamburgerler: Just play along with what Ronald says, I’ll keep you posted.

REVOLUTIONARY SCENE #2
We jump back to the revolutionary healthy foods. This is the scene where Ronald spoils their plan:
Kiwi: Ahh, I see.
Cucumber: So everything’s below then?
Potato: Aye
Cucumber: (opens trap door) after you apple.
(Apple goes down the ladder)
Cucumber: Kiwi, follow apple.
(Kiwi goes down the ladder)
Cucumber: potato
Potato: aye (goes down that ladder)
Cucumber: (goes down ladder a little, shuts trap door, joins the others, looks around stunned) You weren’t joking when you said your grandfather was in the IRA weren’t you?
Potato: Aye, for about 60 years.
Cucumber: well, my grandfather left me things too (pulls out artillery) 87 years in the Royal British Infantry. Righto, Apple, have you got the map.
Apple: yes (pulls out map)
Cucumber: (pointing at map) Now were are positioned here and the bastard in his golden arched fortress is here. All these service tunnels surrounding it are patrolled by the McGuards.
Potato: (pointing at map) but if we plant explosives here, here and here, we can distract them and take them from the inside.
Cucumber: make sure those are DISTRACTIVE and not DESTRUCTIVE.
Potato: aww, I never get to have any fun
Cucmber: Apple, could you go get me some tea?
(Apple leaves)
Cucumber: Now the question is, do we want Ronald alive or kill him where he stands in his palace of the golden arches?
Kiwi: you guys need to be more stealth.
Potato: Sure, Sure, hey… Apple should be back by now….
Cucumber: yes well, (looks behind him) Hello Ronald….. Ahhh….
Ronald: Don’t stop, I’m lovin’ it.
Potato: RUN!
(Everyone runs)

FLASH BACK TO THE 50s!
This is where we first see McDonalds opened in America and meet the character Ronald. This is where it is seen where Ronald started and has now ended up as the head of the biggest corporation in the world. That idea will also be explained further down the track.
(Everyone walking around stage, while Ronald addressing the audience and the people.)
Ronald: (Shouting very loud) Come one! Come all to the grand opening of McDonalds! You Sir! (Points to Tom who walks out in front of Ronald)
Tom: (points at himself) me?
Ronald: Yes you! Are you tired of eating the same thing day in and day out!
Tom: Why yes I am!
Ronald: Well come and try a Happy Meal! Yes a Happy Meal! (Says it kinda creepy)
(Tom walks behind the boards)
(Molly (Danny) and Quintin (Betty) walking along arm in arm, they are arguing when Ronald walks behind them and listens in)
Danny: Betty, I don’t want to go that restaurant again, that chicken schnitzel was awful.
Betty: Come on Danny, it’s good to try new things.
Ronald: (walks in front of them, stopping them in their tracks) Speaking of new things, why not come in and try our new happy meal, it’s different from anything you’ve ever had!
Betty: Come on Danny! This sounds great! (Drags Danny off stage behind the boards)
Danny: (behind the board) I’m lovin’ it!
Ronald: Hey, that’s not bad.

THE REVOLUTIONARY SCENE #1
This is where the only healthy foods left are revolting against McDonalds. The world has become a dystopia with McDonalds at the heart of it controlling everything and everyone:
(Stage is dark, Cucumber walks on with a lantern to light his way. While the other three are waiting at the hidden door with much excitement and anticipation of when Cucumber will arrive.)
(Cucumber knocks on the door)
Potato: (slides open peek thing) who be there?
Cucumber: Potato, it’s me for Pete sakes, let me in!
Potato: What’s that password!
Cucumber: We don’t need the password!
Potato: What’s the password!
Cucumber: The English did wrong by the Irish, now let me in!
Potato: (opens door)
Cucumber: Potato, always a pleasure (nods head towards potato), Apple, good to see you (shakes hands) And whos this? (looks at Kiwi)
Kiwi: Hey bru! (shakes hands)
Cucumber: fury one isn’t he, (looks at potato)
Potato: he found me a few days ago, wants to join the cause.
Kiwi: The McGuards took me family!
Cucumber: My condolences, (turns to potato) the McGuards are now taking the Kiwis?
Potato: Aye.
Kiwi: So how did you guys join the cause?
Potato: it all started long ago….
(Everyone looks off into the distance)
Cucumber: What are we looking at……

BACK TO THE RESTURANT!
This scene is back to the restaurant where the professor tells Bob and Janine what the world could be like in many years to come:
Professor: So you see Bob, if we hadn’t of tried new foods, we wouldn’t have continued forward.
Janine: Exactly! This is what I’ve been telling him all along Professor, haven’t I Bob?
Bob: Yeah… suppose so…
Professor: I can imagine…
Janine: so Bob, how about we try that new Tapes restaurant that opened last week?
Bob: Aww, can’t we just go to McDonalds? Please? For a normal meal?
Janine: By normal you mean chicken nuggets and chips? (Sounds very displeased)
Professor: I read a novel about what the world and McDonalds could be like in the future. (Stares off into the distance)
Janine: What are you looking at?
