Moral Orel

[fredsolo]

Dino just posted in his Myspace blog the script for the episode ''Raped'' which was one of the the seven episodes that got cut from Season 3. This episode reveals some information about Miss Sculptham and her baby and her rapist. It also features Clay's dad who would've moved in with the family in one of the episodes that were cut.

here's the script

(I was writing my reactions as I was reading it, sorry if it's kinda not very coherent.)

Holy crap. I didn't think that he would write an episode like this, but wow. So her abortion failed. That's...wow.

I laughed out loud at the "You'll scare the smaller prisioners" quip. I can hear her saying that in my head. 

Oh my god. This episode is breaking my heart just reading it. Although there are a lot of great funny lines, too, mixed in with the seriousness. 

BAWWWW. I love the grandpa. I wish that he had been in the episodes; I would have loved seeing grandpa Puppington and Orel team up against Clay. It would have been epic. 

Wait. What?!?! AELRIJEALREW Plotwist is a woman??? I should have guessed it with a name like that, but I wasn't expecting that Plot twist. 

Actually...even as a lesbian woman, that ending seemed a bit pedantic. It might not have had it actually been shot, and I realize it was only a rough, but yeah. 

However, goddamn I wish it had been shot.

Whoah!
I, too, am surprised by the... bizarreness of this episode. I can see why [adult swim] felt they had to cut it...
I sure wish we had gotten the episodes with the grandpa in them. He seems like a cool character. I wish I knew what he was dying of, too...
Man... Sculptham... what a freakish character that is...
And... I love the irony at the end, with the marriage license...
"This is America."
lulz. Indeed it is...

[oboefreak]

I thought it was more of what Dino had to pick and choose. In a lot of ways, it's around the same, offensiveness-wise, as Alone, but Sculptham became a much more intense character.

Dam this show and being full of people I know and love. alrijearwe I feel like I'm losing teeny tiny versions of them when I'm losing this show. 

[The_Printz]

OH MY FUNKING GAWD!

if that wasn't official, that might have been the most perfectly disturbing piece of fanfic ever!

gawd, this makes me want to spit in Lazzo's face for cancelling... THIS!

(i just cried, then smiled on the in and out)

**i cried a bit**

[HorseSteroids]

Why did they produce Trigger but not this??  This was great!  After Alone, we deserved a Sculptham episode.  We got Dumb, we got Nesting, we deserved Raped.  Also, I agree with those that enjoy Grandpa Puppington.  He would have been a strong addition to the show as opposed to a one time character in Passing.

If you are reading the comments instead of the script, click the goddamned link and read it for yourself! 

Dino, if you happen upon this, I want the other 6 scripts.  I'm sure I'm not alone.

[DrSesame]

YES! More scripts *slams fist down angrily*

Hmn, I didn't see the lesbian thing happening, the joke was cute though. If Ms.Sculptham was a lesbian why didn't she just seek out Stephanie?  Though the kind of 'man-hating' lesbian undertones kind of rub me the wrong way, Sculptham was raped so thusly her attempts to be with rapists or such fails and she turns to women instead? Hmn, find that a slight bit cliche, but it's still fun to read Moral Orel scripts none the less.

. Grampa seems like an interesting character, I can't imagine how Clay would have acted around him.

PUTTY (sotto: to Orel) Just keep that smile plastered on your face and it'll be okay.

OREL Okay, but my cheeks hurt...

LMAO That would so funny to see that on t.v.

[funky_branca]

This was amazing. I'd have loved to see all the interaction between Putty and Orel. And Grampa.

This would've been such a great episode, and it makes me sad that it won't be made. Dammit!

[moozeditty]

Somebody page CultofZoidberg with the good news!

Interesting that Sculptham would aspire to be such a rebel when she's one of the people pounding the same close-minded trash into the kids' heads.  But maybe this is why she always sounded so unenthusiastic about it--maybe this whole time, she hasn't really believed what she's been teaching.  She just carried on for the sake of appearances.  

I don't know if she really loves Mary or if she just wants to be one of the black sheep of the town.  At least now she would be out in the open about her disdain for the status quo.

It would have been fun to see Plotwhist being unsubtle about her attraction.

And man, rapists are jerks.

[oboefreak]

I just realized something, after ruiminating over this episode the past day.

None of the three women featured in "Alone" are truly alone any more. Bendy has Joe. Censordoll has Clay (ew). And now Sculptham has Plotwist and her unborn baby. 

This...actually gives me hope that the finale might be happier than we think it might be. Aside from Censordoll and her wtf-ness and Clay messing up people's lives, everybody seems to be finding some happiness in the distressing times in Moralton.

Am I right in thinking this? 

[swaggalicious]

This is obviously the better episode, but I think it has something to do with the appearance of Orel's grandpa.
Dino probably figured there wasn't enough time to fully develop his character AND give the series closure.

[IAmDamoSuzuki]

The Plottwist joke made me laugh.

[Sporkman_165]

Ah man, he took it down already, did anyone save a copy of it?

[funky_branca]

I'm seconding the question here. Did anyone save the script? Because I wanted to use it.

See, I was reading the script over and thinking, "this won't be made into an episode. I should make it into a comic". Now, I don't know if I'll really do it, but I did want to give it a try. When I get my tablet pen working again, I'm going to see if I can draw the characters well, work on it, and if I like it, make a comic out of at least part of the script.

Still mulling it over, I don't know if I will or not.

But to make it, I need the script! Help me out, guys.

[oboefreak]

Ha! Lucky me, I still have it opened in a tab. I'll pm it to you.

Edit: Dang, I can't. Is it legal to post it? I'd feel bad posting it if Dino took it down for a reason.

[funky_branca]

I dunno. I assume it would be legal if he posted it in the first place to be seen by the masses. Even if he did take it down.

[dinosta]

Well, I personally would rather it not be posted anymore obviously. But,  it's up to you at this point because I did put it out there in the world wide webness of it all. There's just a small chance that perhaps someday it would be produced in some way. I just wanted people to read it now for a limited time because of the story's timeliness.

The balls in your court. Those are my feelings. 

[oboefreak]

I appreciate your answer, Dino. I did have a hard time coming to the conclusion about what I wanted to do about this, because I think it's a great script and had the potential of being better with other drafts and it's a bummer that people didn't get to read it or didn't save it, but I'm going to respect your wishes and not post it.

Thank you, once again, for making such an amazing show. 

[funky_branca]

Sounds good, Dino. We'll leave it as is, then, and not have it posted.

Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks for Moral Orel as a whole. It's been wonderful.

Bah.  I'm glad I got a chance to read it now.  I am cautiously optimistic about [as] coming to their senses and doing the 7 "lost" episodes, meaning that those of you that didn't get a chance to peep the script are most likely **bleep!**ed out by the man.

Who am I kidding?  This is [adult swim]!  No one thinks!  Full fronal lobotomies and Robot Chicken for all!  I mean, no one actually watches Moral Orel, right?

[jzummak]

Apparently, Dino has taken it down before I got a chance to look at it. What exactly happened?

[oboefreak]

It was a Sculptham episode. Basically, she's still pregnant with one of Cecil Creepler's children from the rape (from Alone it was shown that she attempted an abortion, and apparently she had twins), so she takes the kids to the Freedom County Prison and talks to Creepler's cellmate, who is also a rapist. They then get engaged after he hits on her, much to the attractive, dashing prison guard's dismay who is obviously attracted to Sculptham. Orel is asked to be the ring bearer, and he feels weird about it, so he talks to his grampa about it and the grampa, who is dying, basically says "whatever, their loss" and Orel agrees. Eventually, when the wedding is supposed to happen, Creepler's cellmate backs out of the wedding and then the prison guard, named Plotwist, is revealed to be a lesbian and then Sculptham and she want to get married and can't.

Basically. 

[MetalMidLifeCrisis]

Wow.  I feel awful that I missed reading this script while Dino had it posted. 

The title is interesting. Sculptham was raped by Creepler earlier; was she 'raped' in this ep (script) by those who would not allow her to marry a woman? Is that what i'm reading between the lines?

Also, was there any revelation as to who killed Creepler in prison, and why?

He killed himself because he was miserable, I'm pretty sure.
