The Narrator is in his armchair. He leans forward with some urgency.Narrator: And so it seemed that fortune had smiled on Brad and Janet and that they had found the assistance that their plight required or had they?Thunderclap.Brad rings the doorbell. It makes a strange sound.Janet: Oh, Brad. Let's go back. I'm cold and I'm frightened.Brad: Just a moment, Janet. They may have a telephone.The door opens. Throbbing music is heard in the background as if there is a party going on in the distance.The figure we have seen at the window emerges. He is a hunch-backed servant, Riff Raff.Riff Raff: Hello.Brad: Uh - oh - Hi! My name is Brad Majors. And this is my fiancee, Janet Weiss. I -ah - wondered if you could help us. Our car has broken down about two miles up the road. Do you have a phone we might use?Riff Raff: You're wet.Janet: Yes, the rain has been very heavy.Brad: Yes.Riff Raff: Yes.A bolt of lighting illuminates a row of vehicles parked by the castle.Brad sees them and reacts with surprise.Riff Raff realises Brad has seen them.Riff Raff: I think you had better both come inside.Janet: You're too kind.Riff Raff leads them down a stairway and beckons them to follow.The music has become louder.Janet: Oh Brad, I'm frightened. What kind of place is this?Brad: Oh, it's probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdos.They arrive at a hallway at the bottom of the stairs. Another servant, Magenta, who bears a striking physical resemblance to Riff Raff is vacuuming the stairs.Riff Raff: This way.Janet: Are you giving a party?Riff Raff: No. You've arrived on a rather special night. It's one of the master's affairs.Janet: Oh, lucky him.Magenta: He's lucky.Brad and Janet look at Magenta, surprised by her voice.Magenta: You're lucky, I'm lucky, we're all lucky.
