int.boratmuseum – night
The museum CURATOR opens the door for a VISITOR. We see that the museum exhibits “art” with Borat’s face on it; including the famous Borat Lisa.
The curator and the visitor greet with a kiss by rubbing their cheeks following with the famous Borat hand gesture.
curator/visitor
It’s nice... I like.
curator
What brought you here?
visitor
I learned that you know the secret of our master.The secret that made people kill. I am seeking his holy moustache.
curator
Wait a minute... Your line wasn’t offensive to any religious, racial, ethnic, gender, LGBT---which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender---political, national, animal-rights group. You didn’t even mention a moral taboo or uttered a profanity. You’re not part of our secret sect!
The visitor tries really hard to say something offensive.
visitor
F...faeces!
int. lecture room – night
It is a big lecture room with only one AUDIENCE MEMBER. A PRESENTER comes to stage.
presenter
Dr. Roberto Langdoni got his BA from Yale. His major was history, concentrating on Nazism Studies. He earned his MA and PhD from Harvard and his thesis was: “How to offend more people than Borat.” Tonight, he will discuss the sacred...
Censured sound. This makes the sole audience member and the presenter leave.
But LANGDONI goes up to talk anyways. But as he was about to start SOPHIE comes in.
Landogni is ecstatic that he has an audience member. But he is surprised that she approaches him on stage.
sophie
Docteur. Langdoni, someone ‘as robbed ze BoratMuseum and killed ze curateur!
Langdoni is in complete shock. He does the Borat hand gesture.
langdoni
But who could it be? Borat offended so many people!
sophie
Zunno. Everyone is under suspicione.
int. bathroom – night
The visitor has placed all the Borat memorabilia he stole from the museum and put it around a urinal. It looks like a shrine.
The visitor is kneeled in front of the “shrine” praying. He then turns on the sound of Borat (television or recorded sound). He takes out a fake moustache from a black box and waits. But nothing happens, he is in complete pain.
Suddenly, several activists (representing different groups) come into the bathroom and attack the visitor.
int. lecture room – night
Sophie on the phone and Roberto has his head next to it to listen.
sophie
Ms. Pamelá Anderson... My name is Sophie Neveu, a police agent... I’m calling because we’d like to know if you ’ave an alibi for tonight... As you may know ze BoratMuseum was robbed...I’m glad that you and your children are ‘appy, but...
langdoni
It must be her!
sophie
She ‘anged ze phone on my face!
Langdoni
Ms. Neveu.
sophie
Oui?
Langdoni
Why would you are so interested on this case.
sophie
Ze truth is that I’m not French at all.
Sophie loses her French accent and begins to talk with a Kazakhstani one.
sophie
My grandfather was Borat.
langdoni
Oh, so it is true that there are still descendents of the master! I thought his enemies had murdered all his children!
sophie
I was saved thanks to Jack Saunière, but my parents died in an accident. High five!
Sophie and Langdoni clap a high five.
sophiE
They died in the farm, when they were on plough. But I like Saunière,he good. He’s nice!
langdoni
May I ask a question?
sophie
Do you have to go totoilet? The way Borat used to interrupt the fancy mealsin order to do something gross?
langdoni
Yes, but it’s another question. Did your parents ever leave you anything?
Sophie
Langdoni, you are not talking about -
Langdoni
Yes... The holy moustache...
Sophie
The truth is that I have...
She hesitates and takes out a black box.
sophie
But I cannot open that.
Langdoni
I know! We can ask Lee Tabling, my trusted friend and expert in moustaches.
Sophie
Does that person happen to be a woman, disabled, Jewish, homosexual and intelligent? Because my grandpa offended all of these groups and a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot more.
langdoni
Yes, but we have to take the risk. Don’t you want to open this box? I’ve an idea, get back with your French accent and she won’t find out.
Sophie and Langdoni leave the lecture room.
int. tabling’s living room – night
Sophie and Langdoni come in. TABLING is waiting for them.She is sitting on a wheelchair.
tabling
Welcome Roberto.
Langdoni
Hi Lee, this is Sophie, a friend of mine.
tabling
Would you like something to drink? I can assure you that it doesn’t have any poison to kill you so I can stand up, stop pretending that I can’t walk, take the black box from Borat’s granddaughter,
Tabling makes a hateful face as she says the word “Borat,” the same that Borat makes when he mentions the Jewish.
tabling
and destroy the holy moustache.
sophie
I’m glad zat you mentioned ze box. Do you know ‘ow to open it? I tried it, but I can’t do it.
Tabling
Give it to me so I can show you.
Sophie takes out the box and looks at it hesitantly.
Langdoni
Do what she says!
Sophie
I will! But zere is a dirty spot ‘ere! Could you get somezing to clean zis?
Tabling stands up from her wheelchair and goes to get a rag.
Tabling
Here you go.
Sophie
Zanks.
Tabling
You’re welcome. But if you want I’ll do it.
Sophie
No.
Tabling
Okay.
Sophie cleans the spot slowly.
Sophie
Please.
Sophie hands the box.
Tabling
Thanks.
Sophie
You’re welcome.
Tabling easily opens the box and it is empty. Both Tabling and Sophie are shocked! Not Langdoni though, he is now dressed with the master’s unfashionable costume and has the holy moustache on.
Sophie
Grandfazer!
Tabling
(with her hateful face)
Borat!
Langdoni
Jagshemash!!! My name is Borat.
Langdoni pauses for a while.
Langdoni
NOT!
