Plot Outline:

Begins with 60 minutes episode, a murder has taken place and a mime is interviewed about being accused of murder. The mime speaks through an interpreter. Interview occurs in sonnet and the mime is a pickpocket with Tourette's. He's been accused of killing cathy because he has her credit card. Interpreter, being a mediocre lounge singer, interprets everything in song.

segway via segue (aka, our scooter) to murder scene

coroner examining body, cop walks in (with milk stains at the sides of his lips). coroner: why are you late? cop: sorry, i blew a seal. coroner: well, get yourself cleaned up, we've got work to do.

cathy's apartment, cathy's dead and there's a bloody chainsaw next to her and a bust of elvis. cop 1: she seems to have been killed by a chainsaw. coroner: actually the cause of death was bludgeoning by a bust of elvis. cop (under his breath): just like those poor seals. p.s. cathy is wearing a girdle (which makes her unpickpocketable)

the mime is there, acting the way he does, and he is arrested and cathy's credit card is found on his person.

then, the cop sees the photos of the seal on the wall and decides that he, being somewhat fond of seals, wants to take it. on picking it up, there is a blank envelope hidden behind the photo which falls to the ground, he picks it up and finds...

a comic drawn by cathy as she was being killed (like the castle of aaaaarrrrggghhh) which shows that the killer was not the mime, but a stalker who ripped her heart out.

our scene begins...

interviewer

It's me your host and welcome to our show
in 60 minutes where we lay our scene
you join with us and now you wish to know
the reason that this man is very lean

he is a mime at least that's what they say
and need us an interpreter to hear
the thoughts that find his mind from day to day
and on our show, his reputation smear

and now to you our mime i turn to ask
why hide behind the make up and your mask?

(mime mimes the murder mystery)

interpreter
Our mime we see has such a violent bent
but that's not all, for soon we all shall see
in murder he's involved but was not meant
to be convicted, no with you we plea

for there's a mix up, yes the game's afoot
our man, it seems he likes to pick
the pockets of the ones who have the loot
'tis but a petty theft, not nasty trick

i say our man has been the subject of
wrongful accusation a nasty shove

interviewer

Now let me see right now what we will do
with this, such gastly scene a picture made
but cautious we must be in order to
ensure we don't befall the slayer's blade

so harmless does he look to us from here
that mime, but underneath that hardy skin
lies flesh who would instill in us such fear
and bold so with this killing jest he grins

to reenactment our scene goes to day
the day, the crime, but now for a segue...
