| Sued By EVERYONE! Situation: After blowing up the White House, Siobhan & Sarah fled to Sid�s island in fear of arrest (politics, you know). The Beatles & Brian & Alva somehow shook off Justine & traveled back to their non-existent communal flat somewhere in Liverpool, England, that bears a striking resemblance to the one in HELP!. Without hope or girls on a Friday morning, & between gigs, things are obviously a bit slow. Until� (Paul & George are watching TV, Brian is still asleep, Alva, Ringo & John are eating breakfast & everyone�s fuckin� bored.) Ringo: I wonder who invented the spoon? John: A genius like me, an innovator. Shut yer butt anyway, I�m eating corn flakes. Alva: When can I meet other cats? Paul: When do I get to meet some girls? George: The door�s right there. Go get one then. Ringo: It�s not that easy George. Paul: Not fer you it�s not. Me? I could have any girl I want. Ringo: Except Siobhan. John: Or any girl with self-respect, for that matter. Paul: Wot? Take Troll McDrummer there out of the equation & I�ve got her, practically gift-wrapped for me! (Everyone suppresses their laughter except for Paul because he doesn�t know he�s the one being laughed at. Ringo throws his spoon at Paul�s knappy head & barely misses.) George: Don�t throw the greatest invention in the world at Paul! John: I once thought that about a girl. Except my competition was another girl� Paul: I once dated a girl who wasn�t a vegetarian, she just didn�t like meat. George: So no soft spot for animals, just was picky? Cor, what a bitch� (A metallic click comes from outside.) All: MAIL�S HERE!! (John, Paul, Ringo & Alva scramble for the mail & they begin to fight amongst themselves before they even get to the door.) Ringo: Me first! Paul: No, me! I called dibs! John: I�m the one with the most fan-mail! George: Gee, I wonder what would happen if I just walk around them? Oh, I can get to the mail that way, can�t I? Alva: Fucking bitch ass! (George gets the mail & runs back inside, �coz it�s fuckin� cold in England!) George: Bill, bill, junk mail, bill, more junk mail, crap from the government, bill, bill, bill, coupons, bill, citation, bill� (Brian comes yawning out of his bedroom & sees the fight still going on, then George.) Brian: What did we get in the mail today? George: Here, you look, I�m watching Cow & Chicken. (George dumps the pile of mail on Brian & turns back to the TV. Brian opens up the crap from the government envelope & turns white when he reads it.) George: Ha ha ha! The devil�s bouncing on his arse! Hee hee!...what�s wrong Brian? You look all like you seen a naked picture of Ringo or something. Brian: OH SONUVABUSDRIVINGGITFUCKINGBASTARD!!!!!!!! (The fighting stops.) Paul: Aah! You shit head! I�ve got a bloody bloody-nose now! George: HA HA HA-oh wait. John: �Oh wait� is right. Whenever Brian cusses something bad�s happened. Alva: Teach me those words Brian! Please? Brian: SHITPISSFUCKINGENGLISHCRAPMASTER NO NO NO!! (Brian slams his fist on the arm of the couch.) George: Okay�Brian, are you- Brian: WE�RE DONE FOR! WE�LL NEVER MAKE IT NOW! SEE FOR YOURSELF! GOD HAVE MERCY� (He throws the letter up in the air then stomps off to the liquor cabinet.) John: I�ll get that! Ah, here we are� Ringo: Wotsit say? John: �Dear John Lennon, Paul McArtrey, George Harrison, Richard Starkey & Brian Epstein; There is a lawsuit being filed against you, mainly for plagiarism. The people who are suing you & the amount of money they�re suing you for will be revealed when you come to court. You called there at 8:00 tomorrow morning, room 420, by Judge Fookead. Be there or be square.� Signed Judge Fookead. Hmm� (Everybody thinks for a moment while Brian searches for a razor blade & fills up the tub.) All: FUCK!!! Paul: I think they got my name wrong. Ringo: Well we could pretend it got lost in the mail & not go� George: I can write a song about being sued & then commit suicide as well, but I ain�t gonna! Paul: Oh, I have to start panicking now. Writers� orders you know. Alva: How very original. I�ll go over here to avoid that now. (Alva flies off, Paul starts panicking & it becomes contagious & everyone is sure they will be doomed. Brian ends up not committing suicide because everyone was trying to copy him. The next morning�) Brian: Wakethefuckupyoulotofinsanestupidassholes! We gotta go to court RIGHT NOW!!! John: Jus� five more minutes, Brian. Tired. (Brian kicks John, although kicking him out of bed is impossible as he�s in a pit.) Brian: WE DON�T HAVE 5 MINUTES! WE GOTTA BE THERE AT 8:00, & IT�S 7:47 NOW! George: Oh crap! Ringo: Well you can�t blame us. Our normal routine is to stay up until 4 AM, sleep until 5 PM, do our shit, then go back to sleep. God it�s early! (Everyone drags their asses out of bed, gets dressed & ready to go, except the cat, who can�t go anyhoo because she�s an animal.) Paul: I�ll drive us there. George: Hurry up, it�s a half hour drive & we have to make it in ten minutes! Ringo: But what about the speed limit?! We�ll never get there in time! John: Are you crazy, man? This is England, people drive as fast as they like! Brian: Shove over Paul & let me drive! We are NOT going to be late to this fucking court case! (Brian screeches out of the driveway, speeds around roundabouts, chirps the tires & the car smokes.) George: Yeah, �coz they might charge us extra or summat. Ringo: Hey, look, the arrow�s going around the speedometer again. Brian: Dammit, can�t this stupid car go any faster?! John: Now I know we aren�t going eight miles per hour. Paul: Wait just a minute, if we�re all so British, why miles per hour? Isn�t it kilometers? (Blank stares, scratching of heads & rubbing of chins circulate the car.) |
