It is Apollo 11, and the rocket is about to take off, and will land on the moon in a few days. This trip is special, because one of the three astronauts is Groucho Marx!
Please write a movie script.
Act 1:
We open on a shot of the Apollo 11 rocket on the launchpad, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The camera pans over to Groucho Marx, dressed in an astronaut suit and cracking jokes with the other two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "Well boys, I hope you're ready for the ride of your lives. I've been practicing my moonwalk all week, and let me tell you, it's out of this world."
The crowd laughs, and the three astronauts board the rocket. As they prepare for launch, Groucho's jokes keep the tension at bay.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "I hope they have a mirror on the moon, I'd like to see if this suit makes me look fat."
The countdown begins, and the rocket takes off, launching into space.
Act 2:
We see the astronauts in their capsule, floating in zero gravity. Groucho's jokes continue to lighten the mood, but there is also a sense of seriousness as they approach the moon.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "I wonder if there are any moon rocks that look like cigars. That would be out of this world."
As they land on the moon, Groucho is the first one to step out of the capsule, and takes a moment to look around at the barren lunar surface.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "Well, it's not the Copacabana, but it'll do. "
Act 3:
As the astronauts explore the moon, Groucho's jokes take on a different tone as he reflects on the enormity of what they are doing.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "You know, when I was a kid, I never thought I'd end up on the moon. I thought I'd be lucky to end up on the Borscht Belt."
As they plant the American flag, Groucho turns to Armstrong and Aldrin,
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "You know, this is one small step for man, one giant leap for Groucho-kind."
The three astronauts laugh and share a moment of triumph before re-entering the capsule and heading back to Earth.
Act 4:
As they return to Earth, Groucho continues to crack jokes, but there is a sense of sadness as they say goodbye to their incredible adventure.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "Well, I guess it's back to Earth for us. I hope they have good cigars back on terra firma."
As the capsule lands, the crowd erupts in cheers, and Groucho, Armstrong, and Aldrin are hailed as heroes.
Act 5:
In the aftermath of the mission, Groucho is interviewed by the press and becomes a national celebrity. He continues to make appearances and give speeches, but there is a sense of longing as he reflects on the experience.
Groucho: (in a Groucho Marx voice) "I may have left my heart on the moon, but at least I have my sense of humor."
The movie ends with a shot of Groucho on stage.
