So what you're saying is Hourglass doesn't pay its stars enough to afford new clothes for the ceremony?

Kendrick's dress was in 2017, which was Y1 in CAYOM, so technically it didn't happen.

"I’m never too far from you. Even far away, I still feel close to you."

 

* We cut to Odysseus jumping up awake to face… King Alcinous. The king jumps back startled by Odysseus’ sudden awakening. Both men breath heavily. *

 

* Montage cuts to black. *

 

Odysseus (VO): I’m ready to continue my story.

 

(0:19)

 

* Montage cuts to Joel, making his way through  Milky Way as the montage focuses on the sights behind him, parallel cut with Meg riding the subway into central Seattle and Alex Spark parkouring her way through Celestial Haven, Odysseus and his men sailing past the entrance to the land of the giants and the ducks flying towards the big storm Magica had created. *

 

(0:45)

 

Joel (VO): ...I got ten years left, maybe less. I’m a dead man walking.

 

* Joel rolls up his sleeves to show the Pallasyne strains to Tamara *

 

Tamara: What you did back there was… frightening. Are you and Kira gonna be okay?

Joel: ...No.

 

* Montage cuts to Alex seeing her thought-to-be-dead father *

 

Everett: I did something horrible to the galaxy. I want to do everything in my power to make things right.

Alex: How can I trust you?

 

* Montage cuts to Huey and Scrooge on the plane, Scrooge wondering if Huey's alright. *

 

Huey: ...Remember that promise you made?

Scrooge: ‘Ye, what about it?

Huey: Are you…

 

* Cut back to Odysseus, gazing over the seas as he dreams of home. *

 

Huey (VO): ...Still committed to that?

 

* We cut to Odysseus and Penelope in bed. *

 

Penelope: (voice choking a little) When are you coming home?

Odysseus: (smiling) Soon my dear. Soon.

 

(1:09)

 

* We see Meg, feeling the stress of being put on the spot, parallel cut with past Meg being talked to b her teacher. *

 

Teacher: We’re not mad at you, Meg... I just want to help you...

 

* We cut to Joel face to face with Valden. *

 

Joel: Things have changed since you left.

Valden: For the worse, I take it?

 

* Cut to several quick scenes of chaos: the H.F.F ships firing at each other, the giants throwing rocks at the sailor's ships, Duckburg in a state of panic over the collapse of gold, Gem and her goons attacking the beach, and Perthena's forces attacking the Lanchino.

 

* Cut to black. *

 

Valden (VO): ...Otherwise you wouldn’t be here.

 

(skip to 2:32)

 

* We get a further montage of action sequences: Telemachus in his futile fight against the suitors, the Ducks engaging in a car chase against the beagles in downtown Johannesburg, Alex fighting Venchell on top of a train, Meg in a dance off against Gem and Kira and Tamara being pursued through Milky Way *

 

Louie: Come on, Dewey, it’ll be fun!

Dewey: Louie… we will die a horrible death.

Louie: ...But we’ll die having fun?

 

(2:44)

 

* More montages of big sequences: The Celestial Alliance squad attacking Venchell's hideout, Joel in a brutal fight against Packer, Louie sliding down a mountain trying to avoid the dragon's jaws, Meg seeing the cartoons on the projector turn deformed so she runs up to destroy it, Odysseus watching his men be claimed one by one by Poseidon's sea creature, the burning wreckage of Seyfert speeding past Milky Way, Alex dueling more with Venchell, Meg in a swordfight against Gem, Magica attacking Scrooge with lightning bolts and Telemachus taking his last punches from Antonius before it all goes dark for him. *

 

(3:08)

 

Odysseus: I’m sorry. I’ve failed you. I’ve failed all of you.

 

Magica: Is this how you imagined your last adventure, Scroogie?

Scrooge: I could’ve never guessed. Life’s just been one hell of a hurricane.

 

Meg: Every day, I am fighting back. I love and care about this world. I am strong enough. I am good enough. I am valuable enough. And I will make sure that you never win.

 

Joel: In the end I think he got what he wanted. Closure.

Kira: Isn’t that what we all want, ultimately?

Joel: ...I guess. But there are a few things we still have to do.

 

Venchell: I wrote this letter believing that the days I sought would finally come, and I didn’t really have the time to give it another draft. In giving it to you, I feel at peace once more. I feel that I am finally home.

 

* Cut to black. *

Tom: Thanks for reminding me, announcer... You know, in the age of digital wizardry people tend to take the talented and wonderful people at the makeup department for granted.

For the 3rd CAYOM Academy Awards, we are pleased to share a hilarious new song from FREDDY ZAPPER AND THE MANIFESTO OF DOOM. Entitled, "Svetlana's Coming To Town", the song, performed by Kristen Bell, focuses on Svetlana (Bell) as she arrives in America from Russia. The staging and production of the number is largely inspired by the movie musicals of the 1960s, from Hello Dolly! to Fiddler on the Roof.

 

We open as an immigration officer asks Svetlana what she has come to America for.

 

Long ago, in the days of yore,

My people came for opportunity,

But now you ask, what I am here for,

Let me keep this, between you and me.

 

A predicament is coming soon,

The stress is enough to make me cry.

So by the end of May or June.

A lot of us...will probably die.

 

*The music picks up a lot here, playing like a Russian folk song with a moderate pace.*

 

I see not point in hiding the truth.

Oh, doing so would be most uncouth.

Believe me when I say I mean you no harm,

But all in all you may still lose you arm.

 

*Chop! Chop! Chop!*

 

The Red scare's giving you quite a fright,

But don't look at it all in black and white,

Communism ain't all that bad.

Some parts of it make me glad.

But here's where things get sad....

 

There's an omnicidal man infiltratin' the Kremlin,

A monstrous man, A bonafide gremlin,

So to save you all before it all goes down,

Svetlana's comin' to town!

 

*We cut to Svetlana moving through town, as she begins interacting with various townsfolk.*

 

Put that paper down, it's full of lies,

But the Russians are a threat more than you realize,

I mean some, not all, that'd be quite the heft,

But nothing wrong with going a bit further left!

 

The Red scare's giving you quite a fright,

But don't look at it all in black and white,

There's a man who's not very nice,

He'll have us scurrying like mice,

When he turns our world to ice!

 

There's an omnicidal man infiltratin' the Kremlin,

A monstrous man, A bonafide gremlin,

The worst Russian man we've seen by far,

More evil than our nation's cruelest Czar,

So to save you all before it all goes down,

Svetlana's comin' to town!

 

*Dance break - several New Yorkers dance in a Russian style, wearing Russian fur hats - it has a very goofy and humorous feel, but it's still shot in the style of one of those classic movie styles. At the end, Svetlanta stands at the center of Central Park. with a crowd.*

 

There's............

 

*Everyone sings, starting with a whisper, but getting louder*

 

An omnicidal man infiltratin' the Kremlin,

A monstrous man, A bonafide gremlin,

The worst Russian man we've seen by far,

More evil than our nation's cruelest Czar,

He's taking Moscow into his hands,

Pretty soon he's gonna go after your lands,

He lies and says he's communist,

But now's he's made this commie pissed!

So to save you all before it all goes down,

Svetlana's comin' to town!
