A Prologue to Scene 2...Scene 1

Bloodcurdling screams are heard at rather regular intervals while the sizzle of fresh electricity on flesh (esp. around top of the head) is heard and enjoyed. This is the Institution for the Deranged. In a padded cell, in a corner of the huge white building that holds the insanities of a thousand patients, a doctor is speaking to Amithug, which is what they call treatment around here, not counting the electric shocks of course...

Doctor 1 said, "Well, Amithug, can I call you Amit for short? It means "Wind of the buffalo" in my native language, a very common name."
Amit keeps looking at the ceiling and singing "...The grass is green and the rose is red, remember me when I am..."
Amit stops and thinks for some time..."That can't be right..."
He starts singing again "..Remember me when you are dead...".
Amit jumps up from the couch and wraps his arms around the doctor's neck.
The doctor manages to choke out "but Wind of the buffalo isn't such a bad name!", before the orderlies in white clothes come and drag Amit off the doctor.
While the Doctor recovers from the shock, Amit says "How many C programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?". The orderlies realize the danger that is about to befall them, drop Amit on the couch and run for cover with their hands over their ears. The doctor wasn't fast enough. He stared with unseeing eyes.
"None, they forgot to declare it first!" said Amit, gurgling happily. The doctor sees his life flash through before his eyes, and then hears a pop. He now feels the urgent need to catch up with the early worm, runs to the nearest window and jumps off flapping his arms madly.

In the control room at the heart of the building.
Head Doctor(pun..) of the institution is standing in front of an array of monitors showing various inmates in various postitions of insanity, looking very worried.
"that's the fourth doctor we've lost this week sir, three are in this hospital now, as patients, while one is currently in an ambulance with broken bones."
The Chief Superintendent, the Head of this Head Hospital is pacing furiously
"Amit is very good from a financial viewpoint. Who are the customers of this Institution?? The patients..and Amit is bringing in more of them. We should not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs".
"But the doctor's are demanding pension and higher wages. Even the insurance companies now include a clause letting them off if Amit was involved."
"Hmmm..what about the other three grade A patients?"
"All of them together have added more patients to this hospitals rolls in 2 weeks than the last year, and the new patients are...were all doctors at this very Institute. Its a shame!"

Meanwhile in his cell, Amit was playing with his imaginary friend Roofus, who is but one among the many friends and assorted monsters that Amit is acquainted with. Roofus could take any shape he wanted, and currently, Amit and Roofus were playing "Frankenstein Monster, Frankenstein Monster".

A hurried conference is being held outside Amit's cell. A lot of doctors and orderlies are present.

"Its so terrifying! Look at him..." At this, a dozen terrified faces peer at Amit through the glass window on the door.
"he looks so innocent, but his words, they kill the mind!".
"What do we do?? I don't think any doctor's going to treat him again."

Back in the Control Room.
The Chief Sup ventured "How is the err, how is Project X coming along?"
The head doctor replied "Very well sir. Infact, we were planning to test the new device this week, but we don't have any subjects..."
"You are such a fool doctor, we have 4 subjects, Grade A all of them"
"But sir, that'll mean we'll have to put them all together in a single cell! The horrors that could be perpetuated, the horrible jokes that will escape, the biting sarcasm and irony would be too much for the physical fabric of reality to withstand sir!"
"But we will be killing two birds with one stone...4 birds infact..4 loons to be precise"
The Head Doctor began to protest again. One just did not take this kind of chance with the Universe. After all, there was only one universe they all lived in, and no one would want to loose it, would they?
The Chief Sup looked at the Head Doctor, his eyes sparkling.
"You may go doc, get the machine ready, tranquilize them, and get them together. Lets see how strong they are."

The grade A patients ended up lying on the floor of the room.
