The Boys Of New York City, Mocumentary Script, The Field Trip

{Act I, Ponyboy is standing outside his house}

Ponyboy} Right, so rumor has it, that there is life on Mars, cause I can prove it, I got into contact with one of the aliens last night, he waved and I said hi and he told me to visit Mars, like he was just waving his arm around, giving me the indication to say that he wants me to go there, I seriously don’t know why though, like how the hell am I gonna get up there, fly there with a cooler box, that’s not gonna work, my neighbors are gonna think that I am nuts, but who gives a damn, I believe in what I believe in and that is that I have a high belief system in Aliens, convince me otherwise . I think the only aliens I know, are my neighbors, cause they speak, look and think exactly the same as aliens do, so I’ll just forget about this whole thing .

{Act II, everybody is in Reggie’s office}

Johnny} Dude, you really need to get rid of that thing, it is creeping me out, what is that ?, it looks like a, I don’t know what it looks like, all I know, is that you have to get rid of it, it’s scary .

Dallas} How is a tissue box, scary ?.

Johnny} No, that’s not a tissue box, tissue boxes don’t look like humans .

Reggie} It doesn’t look like a human, are you feeling alright ?.

Johnny} I don’t know, Reg, I think I had another one of my weird dreams last night .

Ponyboy} Right, let me guess, you had the one about the woman on a jockey with a whip .

Johnny} Yeah, but that was normal, this time it was a half human half bear.

Dallas} I don’t even know how you get these dreams, Johnny, I really don’t, you must have a phychological problem .

Johnny} No, I don’t have phychological problems, I’m perfectly fine, I don’t need a therapist either .

Ponyboy} Well, I don’t know anyone who dreams about a half man half bear, riding on a jockey, do you know what that might be, Reggie ?.

{Reggie turns around} ” Huh ?.

Ponyboy} Ok, so Johnny keeps getting these dreams that include some weird bear looking thing riding on a horse, do you know anybody who’s been having those sorts of dreams ?.

Reggie} Well, no, I don’t know any friends who had those sorts of dreams, but I guess it’s just a thing that our minds do, it’s because of the person’s imagination, which is kind of weird, but take a look on the bright side, you have quite a active imagination, which is a good quality, so I guess it isn’t really a big problem, you don’t need a therapist after all .

Johnny} Ok, well it’s good then .

Dallas} But seriously, who dreams about a half bear half human riding on a jockey, it’s crazy, I mean, what do you have to do to have those sorts of dreams ?.

Johnny} Well, I don’t do anything unusual, I do what every normal person would do, I watch tv and then I go to bed, what, have those compulsory activities unusual now ?.

Dallas} Well, surely, there’s more to it, you don’t just watch tv and go to bed, those sorts of things won’t make you have those dreams .

Ponyboy} Yeah, like what happened earlier, when you were creeped out by the tissue box, did something trigger you ?.

Johnny} Well, once, when I was four, my mum put a tissue box near me, like, full on, close and my dad thought it was good to open the top bit, like you know that part, where the tissues come out of ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, go on .

Johnny} Well, he started making it talk and the thing looked creepy as hell, I honestly don’t know what it was, I couldn’t get my head around whether it was a tissue box dispenser or some man eating monster .

Dallas} Look, if it’s a tissue box, it’s a tissue box, it’s not a pollywog or some shit, like are you sure that it was a tissue box or something else ?, like how do you know that it’s not just a tissue box ?.

Johnny} What, how do I know that it’s not just a tissue box ?.

Dallas} Yeah, how do you know that it’s not just a tissue box ?.

Johnny} It’s because it’s face opened up and it ate my cat .

{Then they stare at each other} { Silence}

Dallas} You had a cat ?.

Johnny} Yes, I used to, but I’d rather not talk about it .

Dallas} Oh ok then, don’t worry about it .

Ponyboy} Look, tissue dispensers don’t talk and eat people, you must be forever scarred .

Johnny} Well yeah I know, my life is so interesting, there should be a test for freshmans to study in .

Dallas} No, that would be dumb, they don’t need to know about your personal life, I mean, who would want to study in your dreams and weird fantasies about bears riding on horses and tissue dispensers talking .

Steve} Reggie, why are we in your office, do you have news to share, did you bring us in here just to hypnotize us, cause I swear that you are .

Reggie} No absolutely not, I’m not going to hypnotize you, I’m just taking care of a few errands in the office and whilst I have been doing that, you have been waiting patiently, doing whatever you are doing now .

Steve} Well yeah, those guys are talking about talking tissue dispensers, I am glad that I am not involved in the conversation, I’ll look like a complete tool .

Ponyboy} Well, apparently, the science of the brain is quite facinating, but I do appreciate that your right to have an opinion, because it’s not for everyone .

Steve} Is that why you dropped out of school ?.

Ponyboy} You stupid, don’t mention that, I dropped out for a good reason .

Steve} What, is it because your teacher looked like a 60 year old version of Ted Bundy ?, is that why you dropped out ?.

Ponyboy} What, where the hell did you get that from, I dropped out because I sweared at the teacher .

Johnny} Why would you swear at your teacher ?.

Ponyboy} Because he was imitating me, he was pretending to be a horse and that gave me the indication to say that he was making fun of me and my name, but look at me now, I’m slap bang in the middle of New York, trying to find rocks in the mud .

Reggie} Surely you can do so much here, it’s not just about digging for rocks .

Ponyboy} Well, no that’s the only thing that happens here .

Johnny} What about the horse racing ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah the horse racing, well it’s not that special, you just watch the horses boot the shit out of their asses, I can’t believe that that is entertainment .

Two Bit} You know what, I have a friend who used to do horse racing and they were doing like training and tricks and so, he said that once, the people that training the horses, they would train the horses to fly .

Dallas} What the hell ?, what ?.

Ponyboy} Why can’t anything be normal anymore, why do horses have to fly, is a horse a pegasus now ?.

Two Bit} Yeah I know right, he used to always say how weird it was, they set em up one by one, then when they start running, they attach them onto some string then they watch them float, seriously, I’m glad that I wasn’t there to witness it, it was such bullshit, honestly, I can’t believe it’s still a thing, they should of got rid of it in the Victorian times, missed that opportunity, didn’t they ?.

Dallas} I don’t even know why people go to watch horse racing, just to watch a horse run the shit out of itself, I mean, what is the point of that, you’re only gonna get shit all over the floor .

Johnny} Oh well, at least it’s better then the race walk .

Ponyboy} What is the race walk, what the hell is that ?.

Johnny} Oh, it’s basically this sport that they have in the Olympics, where people run really fast but they walk instead, that’s how I can explain it, you wouldn’t want to know the rest of it .

Dallas} Why, what happens in that sport ?.

Johnny} So, the athletes walk really fast and sometimes, they need a shit and they can’t go to the wash room, cause they are in the Olympics stadium and they can’t hold it in any longer, so they just shit on a sponge and then they throw it at the people in the crowd, trust me, I saw a news report of it, when it happened in a different country and it was sick .

Dallas} Oh my gosh, what the frick ?.

Ponyboy} Man, that’s gross, why do people do that ?.

Johnny} That’s what I wanna know, the sport was banned but then it made a come back, so it might happen in the next Olympic games that will take place in Tokyo in Japan, I don’t even call it The Olympics anymore, I call it Olympic cause it has the race walk in it, there are millions of other sports that can be featured in the Olympic, then they choose the race walk .

Dallas} Oh Jesus Christ, I hope not, let’s hope not, otherwise I’ll just pass on this year’s one .

Reggie} That sounds vile, I feel sick now . { While he shuffles through some of his files and forms}

Ponyboy} But yeah, why are we here, Reg, I swear that you were going to tell us, but you never got round to doing it .

Dallas} Just don’t worry, this is what he does, he brings us here and then he forgets the purpose on why he did .

Reggie} Dallas, please, show some respect .

Dallas} I am showing respect, I am though .

Reggie} Oh ok, where are you showing respect, oh I know, on your ass ?.

Ponyboy} You know what, just tell us, we’re not getting anywhere with this .

Reggie} Ok, so do you guys like exploring places ?.

Dallas} Well yeah, it just depends on where the place is, cause if you are sending us in a field, I’m going to hate you forever, no apologies intended .

Reggie} But I’m not sending you to a field.

Dallas} Ok, where are you talking us then ?, cause if it’s not that, then what ?.

Reggie} Well, let’s just say that we are going on an adventure .

Ponyboy} Woooo hooo, I guess .

Johnny} Where are you talking us ?.

Reggie} We are going to plan a field trip, it’s gonna be fun .

Dallas} Jesus Christ, are you a robot, why do you say the same things all the time, you had the opportunity to say something cool and then you chose to say ” We are going to plan a field trip, it’s gonna be fun ” like oh my god, you’re like a parrot .

Reggie} Well, what else am I gonna say, ” Pack your bags and get a move on ”, Jesus Christ, Dallas, you had one job .

Ponyboy} Can you just like tell us the reason, get to the point .

Reggie} Ok well, we’re going to go on a field trip and we are going to stay at a hotel in the village, it’s a nice little place, not too big as well .

Johnny} Aw sweet, are we gonna get like one of those sweet RVs that have like massive windows and curtains ?.

Reggie} Yeah, we’re renting out a RV but we can only keep it for two days, but it’s cool anyway, cause we are going to be away for two days, so it’s perfectly fine .

Johnny} Right, so that’s sorted then .

Dallas} Wait, what do you mean by village ?, what do you mean by village ?.

Reggie} We’re gonna be in a small village type place, we can explore there, there is so much to see .

Dallas} Hm, yeah right, the only things that you will see will be people snorting coke and trees .

Reggie} Um no, you’re not going there, are you ?.

Dallas} Yes I am going there .

Johnny} Oh come on, Dallas, stop over exaggerating, it’s gonna be fun .

Reggie} Yeah, that’s right, Johnny, it is going to be fun, actually, it’s going to be really fun, it’s going to be a blast .

Dallas} Hm, is it though, is it ?.

Reggie} Yes it is and we are going to be doing so much .

Dallas} What are we going to do, are we going to make friends with a dancing bear, are we going to make another commercial, are we going to dance on the rooftop of a RV ?, cause if you are going to make us do those things, you need professional help .

Reggie} We are not going to do any of those things, we’ll do something better, I assure you, we’ll have a good adventure .

Dallas} Ok well, listen to this, yeah, I don’t give a shit, you’re not taking us on an adventure, all you are going to do is get us lost in a field, where’s the adventure in that ?, you tell me .

Reggie} I’m not going to get you lost in a field, who on earth would have the audacity to do that, certainly not me, I am going to take you on the ride of your lives, you’ll thank me later, I am going to take you to the disco, we’re gonna have a sweet ride, it’s going to be awesome .

Dallas} Oh for god sake, Reggie, you have the most dumbest ideas ever, why do you want to go dancing ?, oh, we’re gonna party, we’re gonna get loaded, we’re gonna take part in a disco, we’re gonna hook up with chicks, we’re gonna get fucked, then we are gonna go rollerblading with Jesus, then we’re all gonna be doing the fandago with Rupert Pupkin, then we’re gonna get smashed, then we’re gonna get married in Las Vegas and then we’re gonna wake up the next day and wonder why we got married in the first place . Does that sound like the ideal day out to you ?, cause if so, I’m out .

Johnny} Wait, sorry to interrupt, but um, who is Rupert Pumpkin ?.

{They all stare at him}

Ponyboy} Seriously ?, you don’t know who Pumpkin is ?.

Dallas} Oh my god, you need Jesus . { Then he walks out}

Johnny} What the hell ?.

Two Bit} Pfffffffff . { Starts laughing}

{They just stand there in silence}

{Dallas just walks around in the hallway}

{Dally’s read}

” Pfffff, I don’t even know why Reggie is taking us on a field trip, it’s not like I’m not happy with how everything is, I don’t need to drive around in a caravan, taking a stroll round the trees, I swear, Reg is on crack, like serious amount of crack and when he says stuff like this, he sounds like a crazy phychopath, no one who is high, acts with so much enthusiasm, it’s creepy, it’s like someone bonked him on the head with a brick and suddenly, he has become the road runner, like I’d rather stay where I am, doing my own thing, he can run after the other guys to do the jobs, but not me, he should just stay clear of me, cause I am a ticking bomb, if something starts me off, I can blow up and when that happens, you don’t wanna know the rest ” .

Act III, everybody is standing by the door}

Reggie} Alright, has everyone packed their bags, got all their stuff sorted ?.

Ponyboy} How many bags are we gonna need ?.

Reggie} Not much, just some ecxess luggage, normal supplies and products, the stuff you need for two days stay .

Dallas} Reg, honestly, if you are going to make me carry those all the way up to the caravan, I’m not doing it .

Reggie} Why though, it’s not even that much, there’s just a tub of hair gel and some clothes, it’s not even that much luggage .

Ponyboy} Wow Reg, I never knew you used hair gel, you don’t look like the sort of guy who would use that .

Reggie} Why, is it because I look like a tramp, of course I use hair gel, it keeps my hair all smooth and it stays in one place .

Ponyboy} Oh well, I do the same but with grease, the hair gel just makes my hair all wet .

{Act four, they’re getting their luggage ready}

Johnny} Yeah, I think you put too much in your hair .

Ponyboy} No I don’t, I only put a little bit, I don’t go crazy, how do you know I put too much, you don’t live in the same house as me .

Johnny} Yeah well, I can see it, plus, when you walk too fast, you end up tripping over and when that happens, you end up sliding on the floor, trust me, I’ve seen it with my own two eyes .

{Then Pony stares at the camera} ” I don’t put too much grease in my hair, don’t listen to him, it’s my hair, my rules, anyway, he puts a lot as well, he looks like a donkey, no offense, but it’s true ” .

Johnny} Hey, how dare you ?, anyway, how do I look like a donkey, donkeys don’t have greased hair, do they ?.

Ponyboy} Well, the ones in Miami do .

Johnny} But they don’t have donkeys in Miami though, what country are you talking about ?.

Ponyboy} What do you think I’m talking about Papa Nu Ginea, why would I go there ?.

Steve} Uh, are we gonna go or what ?.

Reggie} Yeah, that’s a good idea, the roads are going to get busy, we better leave now .

{Next scene, they all walk outside and see the RV}

Johnny} Yeah heh heh heh, you see, now this, is what I’m talking about .

Ponyboy} Nice RV, man . Pimp my ride, you know what I’m saying ?.

Reggie} Yeah thanks, I have a good friend of mine who works in the RV and vehicle manifacturers, he’s called Todd, he let me borrow it for a few days I used this when I was about 21, still in good condition, pretty cool, huh ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah it’s cool .

Johnny} Oh screw Todd, Johnny’s your daddy now . { Then he sits down in the RV}

Reggie} Johnny, you’re not driving, forget it .

Ponyboy} Did he just call himself Daddy ?.

Steve} Apparently, yes .

Dallas} Are you sure you wanna use this, it looks like it was around in the 70s, did you use this pick up chicks or something ?.

Reggie} No, what, this, you must be out of your goddamn mind, why would I use this to hang out with babes, I drove around in a Ford Consul . { Then the rest of the group got in the RV}

Ponyboy} Do you still know how to drive ?.

Reggie} Of course I do, I got my license at the age of twenty, I haven’t changed since then .

Ponyboy} I know but, that was long ago, a lot has changed .

Reggie} What, you think I can’t drive cause I’m old ?, how dare you ?, I can still drive, I still have it with me .

Ponyboy} Ok then, whatever, drive then .

{Then Reggie switches on the engine and starts the van}

Reggie} Hm there you go, the engine started, now let’s see what this baby could do . { Then he starts driving the vehicle}

Johnny} Ok so, where we heading ?.

Reggie} Um, I have no idea, but it just says to follow this address . { Then he pulls out the paper that has the address on it} ” Um, Chhhhhhhhh, The Rotterdam Motel n15, Manhattan, what the hell is this ?.

Ponyboy} You don’t where to go, do you ?.

{Reggie just looks at him} No not exactly .

Ponyboy} Right so, it’s fine, let’s just ask someone about where the location is, surely someone’s gotta know . Oh hey look, someone’s there . Just hang on, I’ll ask for the directions . { Then he walks up to the person} . Uh excuse me, I wonder if you can help me out here ?.

{The person turns around} What can I do you for you, sir ?.

Ponyboy} Um, sorry to bother you, I was wondering if you could show me the location for the motel that is the closest to us, we’re having a little trouble in finding it .

Person} Sure, no problem, what motel is it ?.

Ponyboy} It’s called The Rotterdam Motel, it should be somewhere around here, me and my friends are on this little field trip and we seemed to have got lost .

Person} No sweat, the motel is just a few miles away, you just cross the road, take a left and turn on your right, you’ll find it in no time .

Ponyboy} Thanks man, you’re a life saver, oh well, we better get going before the traffic starts building up, ok bye man, take care of yourself .

Person} See ya . { Waves} { Then Pony walks back to the van and gets in}

Reggie} Did he tell you where the motel is ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, easy as pie, the Rotterdam motel is just a few yards away, it’ll be easy, let’s just keep driving .

Johnny} Cool, we are making head way, Rotterdam motel, here we come .

{A few minutes of them driving, they suddenly spot Pony’s brother, Pork Chop, he has finished his afternoon shift at the gas station}

Reggie} Oh hold on, who’s that ?.

Ponyboy} Oh it’s just Pork Chop, he’s finished his afternoon shift at his work, he’s on his way back home .

Dallas} But what the hell is he doing down here in Manhattan ?.

Ponyboy} I told you, didn’t I, this is his route coming back from work . { Then he gets out of the car and shouts}

Dallas} Jesus Christ, Reg, I told you to carry on driving .

Ponyboy} Pork Chop, Porkie, it’s me, Pony, what are you doing, man, how was work ?.

Pork Chop} Yeah it was alright, it was busy, that’s for sure, what are you doing out here at nine pm ?.

Ponyboy} Well, I’m just out on an adventure, we’re gonna party, we’re gonna get loaded, we’re gonna go to the disco, we’re gonna hook up with  chicks, we’re gonna get fucked, then we’re gonna go roller blading with Jesus, then we’re gonna get smashed, then we’re gonna get married in Las Vegas, then we’re gonna wake up the next day, when we are recovering from our hang overs, then we’re gonna wonder why we got married in the first place. Wanna come ?.

Pork Chop} Um no, that sounds like so much fun, but um, I’m afraid I can’t come, I have to go back and catch the last episode of American Pickers, they say it’s gonna be an interesting one, so I don’t wanna miss it, but you guys can go, you can tell me about it when you come back from your holiday .

Ponyboy} Oh ok cool, well, say hi from Darry and Soda then, just tell them that I’ll come back on Wednesday in the afternoon, alright man, see ya .

Pork Chop} See ya .

{Then Pony walks back and gets back in the RV}

Reggie} Ok so, where about is the Rotterdam Motel, is it around here ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah it’s just on the left side of the road, the guy told me to take a turn and we’ll pass it .

Reggie} Oh ok .

Two Bit} Hey guys, do we have any food with us, I’m starving .

Reggie} No, we didn’t bring anything with us, there should be food in the hotel .

Dallas} No, Reggie, you silly Billy, they don’t have food in the hotels, you have to pack some yourself, why would they have it there for you, what, you expect for them to put a massive fridge with popcorn and vinegered figs, you free loader .

Reggie} Well, I didn’t bring any, because I was afraid that it would add on weight to the luggage, you don’t wanna come back, lifting a suitcase that weighs a 100 kilograms of luggage on your shoulders, do you ?, no, you’ll get a bad back and if anything, it will be me who has to carry the luggage, not of you guys .

Dallas} But you made me carry your suitcase all the way up to the RV, what does that say, then ?.

Reggie} Why do you act like my suitcase is full of shit, my suitcase has nothing compared to yours, my suitcase has fuck all in it, I only have hair gel and some clothes, if I don’t have them, then I’ll come home, looking like a tramp and nobody wants that, so I’ll just bring some clothes .

Steve} Anyway, sorry to interrupt, but do any of you want beer ?.

Reggie} No, we can’t drink alcohol, I’m driving, do you want me to crash into the lam post, you want that ?, don’t think so .

Dallas} I’ll have one, but if it’s the Corona brand, I’m gonna pass on this one .

Steve} No, it’s not Corona, anyway, I just looked and there’s just one bottle, so I’m gonna drink it if no one’s gonna speak up, so what’s it gonna be, does anyone want it or not ?.

Ponyboy} No, Steve, we came on this field trip to explore, not to get smashed whilst Reggie drives an RV, do you want to get arrested for GBH or something ?.

Johnny} Hey guys, settle down, we’re gonna have a nice field trip, let’s not get at each other’s throats, otherwise, Reggie’s gonna crash the RV and Pony’s gonna sing Hazel Atkins as we collide, so just act cool .

{Silence}

Dallas} Look, if we are gonna survive this verge, we have to turn on the radio, cause it’s gonna be dry as shit in here .

Two Bit} Yes Reg, play some sick tunes whilst we are heading through the verge of sheer terror .

Reggie} No I’m not letting Dallas put his fingers on my radio, he’s gonna play shit .

Dallas} What, you think I don’t know my music, I know my music, I listen to some real shit, not the stuff what you guys listen to, you all listen to that brain wash sort of shit, the sort of stuff without any power, the stuff that you are about to hear, will be so much better .

Ponyboy} When have you ever played a good song though, tell me, you haven’t played a good song, you just play dry shit, like Wicker Man sort of shit, like why would we want to hear that crap ?.

Dallas} Ok well, first of all, you have no taste, second of all, you are missing out on so much, whu listen to modern day pop, when you can listen to Jazz, just swings on roundabouts, you need to open your mind, this stuff will really change your view on music . { Then he presses the button and a song plays} { Pink Fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows starts playing, everybody just sits there, staring at the window}

Dallas} Pffff yessss, the oomph, yeah, pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows, da da da da . { Whilst he is silently singing, everybody just makes a face and sits there looking at each other}

{Ponyboy’s read}

” Jesus Christ, I told you, didn’t I, if I went on a field trip, I wouldn’t spend one day without hearing Dallas play the shit music on the radio and have like the shit evolving around us, he told us that he will put on some Jazz music and what did he end putting on in the end ?, Pink Fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows, I just hope that we will get to the motel in one piece ” .

{A few minutes later, Dallas stopped singing and he turned the radio off, the boys are fast asleep in the RV, but Ponyboy isn’t, he made his way up to the top of the RV and stood on the roof with a boom box and he is playing loud music on full volume. The song that is playing on the radio, is a song that Pony made, in the song, Pony sang about having to go along with a field trip, it’s basically a rant that he filmed, but he sings it instead, he stands there, looking angry as he lifts the boom box over his head}

{ The song playing on the boom box, he’s also playing the guitar whilst he recorded the song, so you’ll hear a few notes}

Going on a field trip with my friends, this is gonna be a ever lasting ride, now I’m sitting here, thinking that it’s all gonna be crap . I’m thinking about life as we watch the sunset, this is what it is, this is life as we know it . I just want this field trip to come to an end, before I have a fight with my best best friend .

Watching cars passing by, if I have to do this again, I think I’m gonna cry, we do this all the time .whilst we stare out of the windows, we lose our sanity, Dallas singing shit songs, we’re getting the locations wrong, hopefully this adventure won’t be too long .

Why do we have to go on this field trip, it’s driving me nuts. Reggie keeps saying, no ifs or no buts . We’re going on this stupid field trip, it’s gonna be shit, I need help, Reggie thinks that he is Roberto Blanco, why did we sign up for this, I don’t freaking know, I guess we’ll ride it out until the end . Why did we do this, he better get us to the Motel and get us through this stupid field trip . I’m losing my shit, he always makes me lose my shit, he’ll never quit . He thinks that can make us do stuff to improve our mental health, but really it’s all stress, stress, stress . Now I have to face the dread, I’m not helping Reggie with his shed . Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yiiiiiiyiiiiiiiiii .

{ Then it shows everybody just rolling around and plucking their ears and trying to block out the sound whilst trying to sleep}

{The song carries on playing it}

We’re going on this shit trip, not going on this shit trip, I’m getting out of the shit trip, not going with the boys, it’s doing my freaking head in, somebody get me out of here, before we go through the verge of sheer terror . { Then suddenly, it shows Darryl’s { Pony’s brother}  voice on the boom box, cause he walked in on Pony making the song and recorded his voice}

{ On the boom box}

Darryl} Dude, what the hell are you doing in my room, you need to get out of here, give me the boom box, I need it for work .

Ponyboy} Yeah yeah, understood .

Darryl} Gimme gimme gimme, the boom box now now now now Now !!! .

{Then Soda enters the room}

Soda} Ohhhhhh, it’s about to go down . Punch him the stomach, punch him in the stomach, punch him in the stomach .

Darryl} get out !!!! . Pony, I need the boom box.

Ponyboy} Just a minute . { Carries on} Not doing this again, not doing this again, not doing this again, never ” .

{A few minutes later, They start driving, then they come across a gas station}

Reggie} Right guys, I need to stop by at the Dx gas station, we need to get some stuff for the trip, do any of you want anything ?.

Johnny} Uh yeah, can you get like the massive bottle of coca cola, and no, don’t get the Pepsi, cause I won’t drink it and can you also get like a bag of gummy bears and also, while you’re at it, can you stop at Dunkin Donuts and get a jelly donut ?.

Reggie} No, I’ll get you the gummy bears and the coca cola, but I’m not stopping by at Dunkin Donuts, we just need to buy a few things and get out of here .

Johnny} Right ok, don’t worry about then, just get the other stuff, it’ll do .

Reggie} Ok, Dallas, do you want anything from the gas station ?.

Dallas} Uh yes, can you get like a Bush wan D ?.

Reggie} A bush, wan what D ?.

Dallas} A Bush wan D, it’s like a chocolate bar, they have like noughat in them, it’s really nice .

Reggie} What the hell, have any of you heard of that before, I swear I haven’t, are you on crack or something ?.

Ponyboy} Nah, no idea .

Dallas} All of you are crazy, man, you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s a nice candy bar, it has like marsh mellows in it, um, crispy, crunchy, sweet, noughaty Bush wan D candy bar . { Starts laughing}

{Everybody just looks like he’s mad and Pony is trying so hard not to laugh}

Johnny} Ew man, you’re sick, now I don’t feel like eating anything, don’t even bother going back, I’d rather starve .

Reggie} Look, Dallas, this is your time to act like a sensible young man, use a normal answer, otherwise I won’t buy you anything, we’ve leave the car park in a bad state .

Dallas} Oh ok, fine, just get a can of Pepsi, I don’t really want anything at the moment, don’t have an appetite now .

Johnny} Oh my god, you’re the one who lost your appetite, I’m the one who lost my appetite, watching you turn into Jeffery Epstein’s twin brother .

Reggie} Ok, Pony, do you want anything from the gas station ?.

Ponyboy} Um, can you get a scrunty nut pea funch from the candy section ?.

Reggie} What the hell is that ?.

Ponyboy} It’s like a candy bar with nuts in it, they cost like three dollars .

Dallas} Hah see, you thought mine was bad, check out this guy . { Points at Pony} ” Wants a scrunty nut he funch ” .

Reggie} I can’t buy that, it doesn’t even exist, are you making all of this up or something ?.

Ponyboy} What, you think I’m a fantasist, you think I don’t know shit, of course it’s real, why would I make up something like that ?.

Reggie} You do this all the time, you make everything up, I haven’t heard of that candy bar before, so you gotta be making this shit up, cause if you’re not, I haven’t a clue, honestly, I’m confused .

Steve} Look, just go and get the stuff and come back, you’re just dragging this shit out, I swear, the seats in this RV are uncomfortable as fuck, it’s not even real leather, made in the fake, medioka manafactuarar, that’s how you know it’s made in China .

Reggie} Look, I better get going, Steve, do you want anything before I go in there ?.

Steve} Uh, can you get a blue ray edition of Carrie ?, they have it in the DVD and video game section ?.

Reggie} No, when have they ever had a DVD and video game section ?.

Steve} They got it fitted in the other day, all of the gas stations have them now .

Reggie} No they don’t, that’s just weird .

Ponyboy} Look, Reg, don’t let this be another one of your, ” I’m old ” moments, because this generation is completely different to yours, well it’s shitty, but it’s different, gas stations have new aisles now, it’s changed a lot, it’s more advanced .

Reggie} I honestly don’t know what you are talking about, they didn’t have those sorts of things when I was around in the 60s, why would anybody walk into a gas station and ask the employee for a copy of Carrie, I’m not going there, I’ll look like a total fool .

Dallas} Well, if you’re not gonna go in there, I will, I’ll just go and ask for the blue ray copy, it’s easy peasy lemon squeasy, I’ll be out in a sec . { Then he gets out of the van and walks into the gas station}

Ponyboy} Does he even know what Carrie is ?, I have a feeling that he doesn’t ?.

Reggie} He’ll figure it out himself .

{Meanwhile, Dallas is in the gas station and he walks up to a member of staff}

Dallas} Uh excuse me, please ?.

{Member of staff}

Member of staff} How can I help you, sir ?.

Dallas} Um, I was wondering if you had a blue ray DVD edition of Carrie .

{The member of staff looks at him like he’s crazy} ” Uh yeah, we don’t have those here, sorry sir, but you have to understand ” .

Dallas} What, understand what ?, how the hell am I supposed to understand that you don’t have Carrie ?, you’re supposed to have it, I don’t know why you don’t, my friends are waiting in an RV in the parking lot, pointlessly waiting for me to go in here and get the DVD and you are telling me that you don’t have it, can I speak to your manager, I would like to speak to the owner of this gas station .

Staff member} What do you mean, I am the manager, who are you looking for, former Karen, it isn’t your job to waste your time, you need to go, I need to deal with another customer, thank you, come again .

{Dallas pulls out a flip flop}

Dallas} Now listen here, smart ass, do you have the DVD or not, if you don’t, I will kindly leave the store, but if you don’t talk to me and give me an answer, I will slap you with my flip flop . So what’s it gonna be, you gonna lend me the DVD or what ?.

Member of staff} But we don’t have the DVD though, that’s the thing, this is a gas station, not a DVD store, so you can leave your movie and game shit outside, alright ?.

Dallas} Look, I will beat you, I will beat you, beat you . { Holds the flip flop in his face}

Member of staff} Excuse me, I’m gonna kindly ask you to leave my store now or I will call the security on you, you want that ?.

Dallas} Hah hah, yeah right, like you’d do such a thing .

Member of staff} Oh yes I will, it’s my gas station, I make up the rules and I am the boss and I’m asking you to leave now .

Dallas} Ok fine, I’ll leave, but you will see me again, I’ll be back, I know who you are, Abdi, that is your real name, by the way, it says on your name badge, don’t give a shit .

Member of staff} Yeah that’s right, get out of my store, get out, get out get out . { Then Dallas leaves the gas station and walks back to the RV to join the rest of the group}

Dallas} Jesus Christ, what a waste of time, see, this is why I hate people, just wanna smash his face in . I’ll just go up like that { Imitates a punch} Bam, he’s on the floor, all tired and dizzy, you know what I mean, like, karma will make it’s come back and that’ll be a punch in the face, you don’t mess with Dallas .

{Then he goes and sits in the RV with the rest of the group}

Ponyboy} Did you get it ?.

Dallas} No I didn’t, the stupid manager wouldn’t give me the DVD, he was being a right old jerk, he’s lucky I didn’t fight him, cause I would of done it with no hesitation but I’m saving it up just in case I come across some other fool who wants to put up a fight .

Stevie} Oh that’s a shame .

Reggie} Well I told you, didn’t I, they don’t sell DVDs in gas stations, who the hell is gonna have the blue ray edition of Carrie in their gas station, you must be crazy somehow, anyway, I’m gonna go into there, pick up the supplies, won’t keep you waiting . { Then he gets out of the van and walks into the gas station}

{ Whilst Reggie is in the gas station, buying snacks for the boys, the gang is having a chat about the neighbors}

Ponyboy} Hey guys, guess who I saw, walking outside the office, yesterday morning ?.

Johnny} Who was it ?.

Ponyboy} I saw Ms Vallance walking outside the office, she was wearing this dress, I swear to god, she looked like a burrito .

Dallas} Hahahaha, really, what was she doing walking outside the office ?.

Ponyboy} No idea, she just was, she was like a hawk, she’s everywhere, I have to like close my curtains sometimes, cause she’s always peeking through her windows, day and night, the rest of our neighbors are fine, Mr Oakey don’t do that, Misses Watson doesn’t do that either, those are the normal ones, Ms Vallance is crazy .

Johnny} She’s nice though, she sends us a Christmas card every year, what’s to hate about her, I mean, she can be a bit scary sometimes, but she’s probably much more then we give her credit for, like don’t you agree ?.

Ponyboy} Hm, I don’t know, she looks like the bird chick in Home Alone 2, how is she normal ?.

Johnny} Yeah, but the bird chick was nice to Kevin though, she turned out to be friends with him, I mean, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, you gotta get to know the person first, before jumping to conclusion, you don’t even know who she is, you haven’t even had a conversation with her .

Ponyboy} I had a conversation with her, once, she started talking shit about builders not building houses properly, after that, I didn’t bother, otherwise, I’ll end up in a garbage disposal, I mean, that’s how far it’ll get .

Dallas} I remember having a conversation with Mr Oakey, he’s a nice guy in all, but he talks so much shit, he started telling me that he used to be a back up dancer on Top Of The Pops, that man can’t even hold a tune .

Ponyboy} Yeah, he sings like Nashville and shit, it sounds like he’s gonna die or something, luckily, I’m not there when he sings, it’s like he’s gonna blow the doors off .

Johnny} Yeah, he can’t even hold a tune, I mean, have you heard him, it sounds rusty . { Starts singing in a high voice} ” And I need you now tonight, And I need you more then ever .

Ponyboy} You sound like a muppet .

Johnny} He sounds like a muppet, he sounds like a muppet giving birth . { starts laughing} { Starts singing again, but this time, he sings it in a deeper voice} And if you only hold me tight .

{ Then Pony joins in} We’ll be holding on forever . { Lifts his arms up}

{ Then they all start laughing} { Then suddenly, Reggie turns up, opening the door and comes inside and sees them laughing their heads off}

Reggie} Ok, what the hell ?. { In an angry way}

{ Few minutes later, Reggie is in the gas station, he accidently bumps into Pony’s brother, Soda, who is having his afternoon shift, Reggie walks up to him and does small talk} { Soda walks around}

Soda} Hiya . { Then he trips and falls over}  ” Woah ” .

{Reggie stands there as she’s shocked}

Reggie} Oh my gosh, are you alright ?.

Soda} Yes I’m perfectly fine, see, this is why you need to have space in gas stations, cause then, you fall down .

Reggie} Yeah I’m getting that . Anyway, how’s it going, man ?.

Soda} Yeah good man, just getting some work done, doing my shift, same as usual, how about you, what are you doing down here ?.

Reggie} Oh um, I just had to quickly pop by at the gas station, just had to pick up a few things for the boys, we’re going on a little field trip, we didn’t really seem to remember to bring a few snacks with us so I’m just getting it covered now .

Soda} Oh cool, is Pony enjoying the trip ?.

Reggie} Pff, you know what, I actually have no idea, he just keeps going back and forth, but I can assure him that he will change his view point on this and he’ll be able to make up for lost time .

Soda} Aww bless him, oh well, say hi to the boys from me, tell Pony that I stopped by for a chat, but yeah, woah, have you seen these coke bottles that they have here, they are well big .

Reggie} Yeah it’s good . { Makes faces} .

Soda} Look man, look, it’s sick, I can drink it all in one go .

Reggie} Ho I bet you can . { Sarcastically then starts giggling}

{Soda starts chugging the coca cola down} ” Look, Coca Colllllaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!! . { Lifts the bottle in the air} ” Haha, it’s jokes, it’s banter ” .

Reggie} Yep, alright man, take care, yeah . { Tries to leave but he gets stopped}

Soda} Hey Red, come and check this out, I can do Indian Rope Trick .

Reggie} Oh can you, ok then, I bet you can . { Then Soda finds a plank of wood with string attached to it}

Soda} Here look, this is sick, I learned it yesterday . { Stands on it and tries to balance}

Reggie} Oh I bet you did .

Soda} Yeah look . I was thinking of joining the circus, what do you think ?, do you think I have a chance ?.

Reggie} Yeah right, like you’re gonna give up your time in New York and go to work in a circus .

Soda} Well no I think it’s a winner . See look, can I get a woah wowowowowoah . { Then he jumps off}

{Reggie walks out the gas station}

Reggie} Alright well, have a nice time in the emergency room, yeah ?.

Soda} Whatever .

{Soda’s read}

” So yeah, there’s probably something that you don’t know about me, and that is that I’m really good at Kung Fu fighting, I can do many kinds of Kung Fu, I can do Karate, I can do Judo, I can do Taekwondo, I can go on forever. I can also use num chucks, fun fact actually, I once knocked out one of Steve’s teeth, that’s why you can see a gap in between his bottom teeth, but it’s not severe, it could of been worse . Look, I’ll show you, I will demonstrate the art of Taekwondo, you don’t get back to Sodapop Curtis, Sodapop gets back to you, here comes the king, here comes to king, you don’t mess with the zorba . Right ok, one two three. { Makes an attempt to do a straight front kick, but he falls over} ” Ahhhhhhhh, oh shit, ah ” { Does a fumbs up} ” I’m ok, I’m ok, wow, woah there, not doing that again in a hurry, I think I’ll just stick to watching Kung Fu movies, I’ll just leave the martial arts to the professionals ” .

{Meanwhile, Soda carries on trying to balance on the wooden plank with string on it, Reggie just has enough}

Reggie} Alright, I think I better start heading off, I’m not watching you doing Indian rope trick .

{ Then Soda starts laughing} ” Hahaha, weirdo ” .

{ Then when Reggie goes outside, he has the idea of bringing the boys in the gas station to get the stuff that they wanted, so he walks up to the RV and tells the boys on what he thinks}

Johnny} Oh look, Reggie’s back, oh he hasn’t got our snacks, that’s a disappointment . { As he looks through the window}

Reggie} Hey guys, you know what, do you guys wanna go in the gas station and pick out the stuff you want ? .

Ponyboy gasps} Oh my god, are you serious, are we allowed to buy anything we want ?. Anything ?.

Reggie} Anything .

Ponyboy} Sick .

Dallas} Oh this is gonna be great .

{ So they walk into the gas station as a group}

{Johnny picks up a bag of candy}

Johnny} Aw sick, chocolate buttons, sweet and chocolaty .

{ Then Dallas walks in the chips section}

Dallas} Kasava chips, who the hell wants Kasava Chips ?, honestly like .

{Then Pony walks into beverage section}

Pony} Aw sick, they have a coffee machine, guys, come and check this out, they have a coffee machine, is that cool or what ?.

{ Then the rest of the group walks up to the coffee vending machine to give it a try}

Dallas} oh wow, a coffee machine, I’m gonna try it, even though I hate coffee, but I’m just gonna try it cause it looks sick . { Then they try out the coffee machine} ” Nicely done, that’s how you do it, they ain’t mucking about, they know what they’re doing ” .

{ Then the boys literally hover out the whole store, buying one of everything, carrying it all in their hands, when they were done with their business, they started walking back to the RV and to carry on with their field trip}

{Then Dallas tries out the coffee and takes one sip}

Dallas} Aw god, this coffee is gross, it tastes like piss, it’s like somebody urinated in this cup .

Johnny} Ew man, that’s gross . { Then Johnny eats a sweet} Err, you know what, I swear that these candies might be vitamins, it tastes like medicine .

Ponyboy} Didn’t you read what it said on the bag before you bought it ?.

Johnny} Well no, cause they’re supposed to be candies, this was in the candy section, Jesus Christ, the Victorians called, they want their health system back .

Ponyboy} What does it say on the packet ?.

Johnny} It just says Chocolate buttons, yeah it’s fine, oh wait, what does it say on the bottom, oh shit, it says one of your five a day, oh for crying out loud .

Dallas} Oh god, that’s a drag . Should of gone to Spec Savers . { Starts laughing}

{Two Bit starts laughing as well}

Ponyboy} Ok, where are we off to next ?.

Reggie} I’m still trying to reach the motel, it’s no where to be seen, where could it be ?.

Johnny} Look, Reggie, why don’t you just ask someone, there are millions of people around here, just going about their day, we’re not gonna get anywhere, you might as well just ask someone for directions .

Reggie} No, Johnny, I’m not asking anyone for directions, look at where we ended up, it didn’t get us anywhere the first time, I don’t even know where this motel is, is it such a crime to get there .

Ponyboy} Look, just listen to Johnny and ask someone, otherwise, we won’t get anywhere, do you wanna stay here all night ?.

Reggie} Ok fine, I’ll just go and ask someone, oh look, there’s someone there, he’s just doing a few things to his car, I’ll just go and ask him, hopefully, his directions send us to the right place, won’t be long . { He gets out of the RV and walks up to the person} ” Uh excuse me, we seem to be lost, we’re supposed to be heading to The Rotterdam Hotel, do you know the way ?.

Stranger} No sorry, where do you wanna go ?, I don’t understand .

Reggie} The Rotterdam Motel, it’s like a accomodation that we are supposed to be staying at, we spoke to some other guy, but he just sent us in the middle of the road, absolute disgrace, so do you know the way to the Rotterdam Motel ?. { Then suddenly, the boys get out of the RV and start walking behind Reggie and join in with the talking}

Ponyboy} Do you know the way ?.

Johnny} Dude, he doesn’t know the way, let’s just leave him alone, we’ll ask someone else, let’s go .

Dallas} Do you know the way, I wanna know the way, you don’t know the way, do you ?.

Person} No sorry, I don’t know the way to the Rotterdam Motel, what do you guys think this is, Freak Show ?.

Reggie} Look, man, we really need to find this address, can you show us where the hotel is ?, please .

Person} Do me a favor please, get out of here, get out of here, man, shit, you know what I’m saying, no man, get outta here, you know what I’m saying, get outta here for real, you know saying ?. { The boys look at the person and starts slowly walking away, not getting involved in him}

{Reggie puts his fist in the air}

Reggie} Thanks a lot man, thanks for nothing, fuck you . { Then he gets in the RV with the rest of the boys} { holds his middle finger up}

{Then they start driving again}

Johnny} Well that was helpful, I’m speechless, how are we gonna get there now ?.

Reggie} I don’t know, probably take a right .

Dallas} Where even is this Motel, I swear, if we end up in a place where it stinks of shit and the cleaners don’t clean the rooms, cause I stayed at a Motel once, I arranged for a stay and when I turned up to check myself in, the guy behind the counter, just gave me a stare, I had to explain why I was there in the first place, after some consideration, I got it all sorted out and I headed up to my hotel room, the place stunk, it smelt like someone did an OD in there, are you positive that the Rotterdam Motel is fine, cause if I find out one small thing about it, I’m gonna get the heck outta there, I’m not gonna have any association with that place . Are you sure it’s gonna be a nice place ?.

Reggie} Yes it’ll be fine, the Motel has a five star rating, no negative comments so it should be fine, they said the staff were nice and welcoming, the hotel rooms were clean and the set up was perfect, so it should be fine, I guess, it better be, cause I payed 5 grand for it all in total, supposed to be spending it on bills and taxes, but we need a break, this is a once in a lifetime experience, so we’ll take this opportunity while it’s still there, but it’s gonna be a lot of fun, I assure you, we’re gonna have a lot of fun .

Johnny} What are we gonna do in the following days, because we’re only gonna be here for two days, surely we can’t fit in a lot in two days .

Reggie} Yeah, but we’ll try and fit in many activities in two days, but it depends on what you guys want to do, like what do you wanna do ?.

Ponyboy} Well I think, it would be cool to a night club, that would be fun, I think that it’ll be a good start of the field trip, like do you guys agree ?.

Dallas} I don’t really agree, cause like, when it starts, you don’t want your first memory to be of Steve busting a few moves on the dance floor, you’ll come back to your hotel room all feeling sick and queasy, we can’t do that, can we ?.

Steve} Oh shut up, it’s not like I can’t dance, I think I’m alright, don’t do me like that .

Reggie} Oh come on, you guys are just exaggerating, going to the night clubs are fun, have any of you guys ever been to a night club before ?.

Dallas} Uh yeah, I did, I went there for a prom night once, I got drunk and I found myself in the wash room in the night club, bunch of people just looked clueless, not like I hated my experience of going there but you know ?, it was pretty bad .

Reggie} Well surely, first impressions can’t really ruin experiences, you have to find the good through those sorts of things, even if the experiences are bad, but you should still be able to enjoy it, but going to the disco will be fun, you know, a little dance and a bit of fun .

Ponyboy} Yeah and like you can hook up with chicks, well, if they wanna talk to you, that is, you know, they don’t want nothing to do with you most of the time, they just look at you like you’re crazy .

Dallas} Look, I actually like going to discos and night clubs, but wouldn’t it be weird if we went there as a group, you know, we look like hipsters or like, the white shoe gang or some sort of shit, people have the right to look at us and think ” What the fuck ?” but I don’t give a shit, they can do whatever they want, they can smash us left right and center and I won’t even budge .

Ponyboy} Well yeah cause, we look mad, that’s why .

Dallas} Well yeah cause you look like Ringo Starney, with your white spats and everything, why do you have white spats anyway, you look like Roberto Blanco’s son .

Johnny} Does he even have a son ?.

Dallas} Well no, but it’s an expression I use, he won’t have a son and I’d still compare him to you .

Two Bit} Wait Reggie, what else are we gonna do, we can’t just go to the night club, we have to do other stuff as well, like what’s gonna come up in between that ?.

Reggie} Well I think that we can probably explore a small village, there is so much to see, we are missing out ?.

Dallas} What are we missing out on, what are we gonna rent out a small boat and ride along the river, where the hell are we gonna get a boat, where are we gonna ride a boat in New York ?.

Ponyboy} Oh my god, a boat ?, this guy better be kidding, this guy’s on Hasheesh .

Dallas} No but is it though, are we gonna buy a boat or something, cause where you’re heading at the moment, is giving me the indication to say that we are gonna go sailing, what, where are we gonna go, Aintree, there’s no river down in Aintree .

Steve} What, we’re gonna go down Aintree, oh boy, that’s crazy .

Reggie} No, we’re not going there, I didn’t say that, I said that we will explore a village, like a holiday spot, a village, we’re gonna go to a village .

Ponyboy} Ok one sec, but where are you gonna find a village in New York, you’ll have to travel out of town to get to a village, but we’re not going to a village, you better not take us to one .

Reggie} But why not, exploring is fun, why don’t you like exploring villages, why are you so against it, there must be a reason .

Ponyboy} Nothing made me like this, it’s just, don’t you think that you are going too over the top, why can’t we just do normal stuff on a field trip and we just have to do this shit instead, like what the ?, why ?.

Steve} Pony, shut up or Roberto Blanco is gonna turn up at your house and perform for you, he’s gonna sing, ” In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight, in the village ” . { But pronounces with a w}

Ponyboy} No, shut up, there’s no way he’s coming to my house, my brother Darry is gonna stand by the door with a frying pan, tell him not to come, if he does, I’m never gonna forgive you .

Johnny} But why would Steve tell him to come, he already said that he doesn’t have his phone number, why would he suddenly have it now ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, you better stay clear of him, otherwise there’s gonna some serious negotiation at my house between my two brothers .

Dallas} Do your brothers know about Roberto Blanco ?.

Ponyboy} Oh I don’t know, Darry’s always playing that guy’s music on his boom box, I have to get out of the house, go and see you guys, I’ve had enough of his music, I don’t wanna hear anymore, I swear, if I hear that he has made a new song under his name, I don’t wanna know, I’m Just gonna stop listening to music all together, if that’s how it’s gonna be, which I don’t want to do, because I love listening to music, it’s what keeps my cool mentality, I just listen to music so I can block out the world, because there’s so much shit out there, stupidity is the new pandemic and if they don’t get rid of it sooner, then it’s gonna blow up .

Dallas} That’s very true, I couldn’t of said it any other way, you face all sorts of stupidity, you face stupidity on the streets, when you’re face to face with other people, the other day, I went to the grocery store and there was this lady in front of me, buying a pack of bananas and she couldn’t tell the difference between Bananas and Egg plants . I mean, seriously, you choose a banana and call in it an egg plant, like, come on, this is what the world has come to, people thinking that Bananas are called Egg plants, it’s yellow, it’s not purple, when have you ever seen a Banana that was dark purple, Jesus Christ, it’s so sickening, in the early 1960s, kids would say, ” In 2021, we will have flying cars ” and now it’s 2021 and what do we have, people in the grocery stores, assuming that Bananas are the same as egg plants, like seriously, it goes right through me .

Johnny} But wait, why would people confuse themselves with a banana and an egg plant, surely, they’ll know the difference, a banana is yellow and an egg plant is dark purple, how would people say that bananas are egg plants, it’s beyond me .

Steve} Yeah that’s so dumb, I honestly can’t tell you how I feel .

Dallas} And that’s what you gotta do, don’t make yourself look stupid, otherwise you’ll turn into one of them and you don’t want that, no one wants to be a stupid boy, so do yourself a good deed, before you turn into one .

Reggie} Look guys, I need to carry on driving, stop talking bullshit and sit patiently in the back, we’ll get the motel very soon, so occupy yourselves for the time being .

Ponyboy} What, what do you want us to do, make a rap about trees, I don’t wanna do that, that’s some weird shit .

Reggie} No, I didn’t say that, I said that you guys should do something whilst we try to find the motel, I mean, we’re not even there yet, it’ll give you some time to yourselves until we arrive at the motel, like I don’t know, play a game or two, it’s up to you, you can do whatever, doesn’t bother me .

Ponyboy} Ok well, let’s play The Name Game .

Johnny} I don’t know that game, I never played it before, how do you play it ?.

Ponyboy} Ok so if you haven’t played this game before, I’ll explain the rules, ok so we have to make up these weirdest names and who ever has the most silliest name will win the most points, the one with the most silliest names, win, and no, if anyone comes up with one of our names, including mine, then you’ll get disqualified and you’ll no longer play the game, so you ready ?.

Johnny} Yeah, you bet I am, I’m ready, sounds fun .

Dallas} Yeah, I’ll play as well, there’s nothing to do but sit here, staring at the window, so I guess I’ll join in, it’s the least I can do .

Ponyboy} Sweet, Two Bit, Steve, do you want to join us ?.

Steve} Uh yeah, I’ll just watch you guys, I don’t really like playing games, it’s not really my thing, so .

Two Bit} Yeah same with me, I’ll just watch from here .

Ponyboy} Hey Reggie, do you wanna play ?.

Reggie} Uh no, you guys can go ahead, I’ll just keep my eyes on the road .

Johnny} Oh yay yuh, this is gonna be sweet, ok, who wants to go first, shall I go first or ?.

Dallas} Yeah you can go first, I need time to come up with mine, they are gonna blow your mind to shreds .

Ponyboy} Ok right, so Johnny will go first, Johnny, whenever you’re ready, find a name that will make us laugh our heads off, you got anything ?.

Johnny} Uh yeah, ok so, four words, Spunch ponk square bonk .

{ They all start laughing}

Ponyboy} Oh that was really good, ok my turn, two words, Bushwan D .

{Johnny starts laughing} ” Hahahaha, really, Bushwan D ?, wow, oh god .

Dallas} Ok my turn, Deedpack, Girth daddy, Bancroft D . { Puts his fingers up in the air}

Steve} Hahaha, oh shit, oh wait, that’s Reggie’s name, isn’t it ?.

Dallas} Oh yeah, Bancroft is Reggie’s middle to last name, I totally forgot, his name is Deedpack Girth daddy, Bancroft D, how could I forget that, so stupid of me .

Reggie} No no no no no, that’s not my name .

Ponyboy} Oh wow, awkward much .

Johnny} Dude, I thought you said that neither of us could mention any real names, failed that one, didn’t you ?, wow .

Ponyboy} Whatever, let’s just carry on, just keep that rule in mind, who ever does it again, you’ll get disqualified, but not just the game, but from life as well, so don’t jump the gun .

Two Bit} Ok, so who’s gonna have their go ?, I’ll be the referee, sort of thing, so every move you make Every step you take, I’ll be watching you .

Ponyboy} Right ok, well I guess I’ll go next, um ok, five words, all aboard the cantar .

Two Bit} What the frick ?.

Johnny} Hahaha, wow ok, I guess I’ll go next, um, two words, Bunch Yolo .

Dallas} Bahahaha, that’s just weird, man, hey you know what we should play next, we should play like a riddle game .

Ponyboy} Yeah that’s a good idea, the name game is getting a little boring now, I’m running out of names, ok so, how do we play this new game then, would you care to explain the premise ?.

Dallas} Uh yeah, so I’ll go through the rules, ok so, this is a riddle game, a game full of riddles, it’s basically a quiz, if we put it into that way, that’s how I’ll explain it, we have to ask each other a bunch of questions, most of them will be random and one person will ask the question and the other person is standing by the person who asking the question, will answer it, but everyone else can answer it as well, so it doesn’t really matter, ok so, does it make sense to everybody, are you ready to play ?.

Johnny} Yeah, it makes sense to me, sounds great, so who’s gonna ask the first question ?.

Ponyboy} Um, I’ll do the following question and you guys will have to try your best to answer it, ok, ok, so let’s start . Ok so, you have a wad of five million dollars, what do you do with it ?.

Steve} Easy, I spend it on a sweet new thick leather jacket .

Johnny} Sweet, ok I’ll go next. So, you are stuck in an elevator, it stinks of barf, you can’t go anywhere else, cause the buttons aren’t working, what do you do ?.

Dallas} I punch the door open with my iron fist and demolish the elevator, even though it’s already broken, but it’s better that way . Then I walk out of the elevator in on peace, laughing my head off .

Steve} Yeah and there’s like a bunch of people, looking at you like you turned into Pennywise, but you stare at them to make it look like you are not scared of them, but deep down, you’re not afraid because you have balls of steel .

Ponyboy} Right ok, I have one, so this one is for Johnny, so, you’re walking in the street, you see a group of people dancing, you stand in the corner and think for a while, it could either be a parade or some sort of satanic cult, you see them in white cloaks, they start getting close to you, you act cool whilst you are sweating bullets, afraid that they will rope you in but you do everything you can to keep you grounded, what is your next move ?.

Johnny} Man, how do you dream up this sort of shit, how do I answer to that ?.

Ponyboy} Just say something, then it’s done, it’s only one question, then I’ll move on until it’s someone else’s go .

Johnny} Ok fine, so I see the cult happening right in front of me, I run after them a shoe, until they leave the area, cause cults creep me out, man, that’s all I can do if something like that happens, I’m so glad that this is just a silly game and it’s not real life . But thinking about it, stuff like satanic cults do still happen, so I can’t win, can’t I ?.

Dallas} Ok, I have one for Steve, ok so, you are in a gas station, somewhere in the middle of town and you’re there to buy some bits and pieces for a friend who’s having weird food cravings, he’s telling you to pick up coconuts from the gas station, you have no choice but to go and do it, you turn up and you’re in the food aisle, then suddenly, this creepy guy keeps lerking around in between the aisles, you just mind your own business cause it’s nothing to get involved in, plus you think he’s a vampire, he keeps staring at you, you try not to look and carry on with your business, then suddenly, it starts getting out of hand . He starts walking towards you and grabs you, then he takes you away, you have no where to go, what happens next ?.

Steve} I karate chop him in the stomach, he falls on the floor, I start laughing my head off, I run away so he doesn’t get up and find me once again, then I get garlic and throw it at him, then I run out of the gas station, without any food, then I go home for a nap. When I woke up from my long nap, I find myself attacking my dad with garlic . It was all a dream, I have a sigh of relief .

Ponyboy} Woah, I swear, if that is a real story, you must be going through some shit right now .

Steve} No, why would it be real, vampires are fake, anyway, why the hell would they be in a gas station, god knows why people don’t go in gas stations anymore, they have the high rate of that shit, I told you it was fake anyway cause I awoke and I found myself attacking my dad with bare garlic, but why would I be going to the gas station for coconuts anyway, that’s the one I want to know, you can’t get a whole ass coconut in a gas station, the gas station isn’t a desert island, you know, you only go there for food and gas for your slashed tires, you don’t do anything else though .

Dallas} Yeah, says the guy who ordered me to go in the gas station to fetch a copy of Carrie and now you’re telling me now, wow, Steve, the irony .

Steve} Yeah well, where else was I supposed to find it, there were no DVD and game stops close to us, we only had the gas station, so you’re not gonna leave the parking lot with nothing, are you ?, at least you went there and asked the manager .

Johnny} Do you read books, Steve ?.

Steve} Yeah um, well you see, I don’t read much, the last book I ever read was a thing called a dictionary, the rest of the books I don’t even bother to read .

Johnny} Oh I see .

Ponyboy} Yeah I read books too, I actually write my own stories as well .

Steve} Really ?, that’s sick .

Dallas} Dude, you don’t look like the sort of person who would read books, you look like the sort of person who would write shit on a piece of paper then make it float in the air, that isn’t writing stories, isn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Oh shut up, of course I write and read books, you just don’t see it, wanna come to my house and watch me use a pen ?.

Dallas} Oh god no, I decline your offer, anything to keep me away from Darry, he gives me the creeps .

Ponyboy} Well then .

{Pony’s read}

” Talking about books, I actually wrote my very own story, it was a story called Fifty Shades Of Dread, I actually thought of the name, I’m quite proud of that. But yeah, the plot was about Johnny and Dally’s midnight motorcycle trips, cause they go out together pretty much every Monday night, and what they do is ride on a motorcycle and Johnny points out every time he spots an exotic dog breed, god knows how many times they have done that, probably a countless amount of times . I actually wrote a few other stories as well, there was a fan fiction story that I wrote including Leonardo Dicaprio and Rick Flair and it’s called The Two Casanovas and The Killing Tunnel. And it’s basically about Leonardo Decaprio and Rick Flair and they find this under ground tunnel and it’s weird because, they don’t play any characters, it’s just under their real names, but yeah it’s about them fighting each other so they can get to the other end of the tunnel, then later on, you find out that they get sectioned because there was no tunnel, it just turned out to be a massive hole . I don’t even know how I dreamt up that idea, it just came to me when I was going for an evening stroll in the park, but that’s the wonder of art, I guess, most well known artists go through weird situations, like most of them weren’t well in the head and they were all like smoking bare weed and stuff while they were dreaming up ideas, like for an example, the front man of The Killers, like Brandon Flowers, he was going to the bank to cash out some money from his account and he started mumbling a few words to himself, like he was singing ” I got money in the bank ” and like he got an idea for his new song, and look at where he is now, the song called, The Man was born, so it just goes to show on how you can do anything if you put your mind to it ” . I mean, I actually tried getting my stories published, but none of the agents wanted to get involved, but I still write them and then I harass the boys with them. I think that the tunnel plot line was really interesting, cause I’m not gonna do a really shit story including a group of guys who have different lives, there’s one who works in a hamburger truck, the other one is marrying an older woman and the other one just exists, I don’t deal in that shit, I’m happy with the one I chose .

{Next scene, Pony is harassing everyone with his story and he’s just casually reading it to him, even though everyone is clearly not enjoying it but he just carries on}

Ponyboy} Here look, so this is Fifty Shades Of Dread, by far, this is probably the best one I ever wrote, so, I’ll read the first paragraph, cause this part really details the subject of the story .

Johnny} What’s the story about ?.

Ponyboy} You’ll find out once I read it, you’ll get it straight away, it’s such a bold message, but yeah, I’ll start reading it, let me just get my shit together and find the first page .

{Johnny’s read}

” You know what, my hat goes off to Pony for really getting creative, cause not many people his age can write proper stories, like I had a friend in 6th grade in high school, who really liked studying in literature, like he thouroughly enjoyed reading books, there wouldn’t be a day where he wouldn’t have a book in his hand, he’d always be doing something with his time, he was a book worm. But the teachers would always try and manipulate him, saying that reading wouldn’t get you anywhere in life, but he really proved them wrong, cause now, he’s a writer, and his most published books are vanishing off the shelf . So I really have faith in Pony for doing what he’s doing . Cause you never know, it happened to my old close friend, so it could also happen to him as well . It’s a weird world we’re living in, who knows, he could get a phone call from the agents, saying that they want to use the idea for his books when he wakes up from his nap . See, that’s why you must not give up, cause there’s always something waiting for you, but whatever it is, you have to grab that opportunity, cause you’ll never know, it might really take you somewhere .

{Next scene, it shows Pony, reading his story to the group and everyone is just sitting there, dazing into the sky, not enjoying it}

Ponyboy} On a very cold Monday afternoon, in Manhattan, New York, were two boys, named Johnny and Dallas . { While he says that, Dallas makes a face}

The story that Pony reads

Ponyboy} On a very cold Monday Afternoon in Manhattan, New York, were two boys named Johnny and Dallas, Johnny went on a trip on Dally’s motorcycle, the motorcycle moves as the wind blows in their faces . ”  Oh look, a tree, that’s well big ” Johnny said, whilst casually gripping onto the back part of the motorcycle . ” Yeah it’s a tree, what do you expect ?” Dallas says, as he looks at him like he’s out of his goddamn mind . ” Oh my god, look, there’s a dog, it’s so cute, can we stroke it ?” Johnny asks, as he casually points at the dog he sees, standing on the concrete pavement . ” Yeah, but how the hell are we gonna stroke it if we are here, what do you want to fly, we’re not in ET ” Dally says as stares at Johnny with a angry look . Johnny had no idea why Dallas was so angry, he didn’t do anything but point out that there was a dog nearby . ” Dally, if you don’t let me see the dog, I will smash your dodgem in pieces with a sledge hammer ” Johnny started getting angry, Dallas was having none of it, so he flew off his motorcycle, dragging Johnny along with him . They flew up to thirty feet into the air, Johnny’s shoe fell off and it knocked Dally’s front tooth out . ” Oooooooooohhhh, my teeth ” Dallas shouted from the top of his lungs . Johnny started laughing his head off and then Dallas punched him in the face . But after that incident, they didn’t talk to each other all morning, except for when Reggie invited us into his office, he started talking bullshit about how we should all be nice to each other, then he started talking about god and how he doesn’t tolerate violence otherwise we’ll all go to hell for different reasons . Plus Steve kept telling us to shut up and he had to put a bucket on his head because he couldn’t handle the noise that we were making . But after some consideration, Johnny and Dallas had a chat and they both apologized to one another and now they’re friends again . The End .

Ponyboy} But yeah, that’s the end of part one, there are two other chapters but I’ll just stop it there . It was good, wasn’t it ?.

Johnny} Yeah sure, um, why did you choose me and Dally as the characters, I’m not hating or anything, but like, why did you choose us two when you could of used another duo, like who on earth wants to read about our motorcycle journeys ?.

Ponyboy} Well, who else was I supposed to choose, what like, Roberto Blanco and Rick flair, no thanks, you two weren’t the problem here .

Reggie} What was all that bullshit about me talking about god, like what the heck, when have I ever talked about god or any religion ?.

Ponyboy} You talk about it all the time, what are you talking about, don’t try and forget, cause you can’t go back and erase the shit you’ve been talking about, the past is the past, you know what I mean ?. The story was good though, it’s probably the best one I ever wrote, I’m surprised that no company wanted to do it . This idea could of made me a hundred bucks, if it got published .

Dallas} Are you kidding me, that was like one of the worst stories I ever heard, first of all, who would write a story on that, you must be sick in the head .

Ponyboy} Yeah well, you two are the ones who go out on motorcycle trips at night, it’s not my fault, you do that shit . You do that sort of thing about once a week, not even that, probably about ten times, it’s countless .

{Steve’s read}

” Oh my god, what the actual hell was that, right so, he wrote this story about Johnny going on a ride on Dally’s motorcycle, which actually started off quite good, it had a proper opening and everything, then he started talking about seeing this dog or some shit, then Dallas turned into some character from Friday The 13th, don’t know who though, he can turn into millions of characters on different days, he’ll always have it with him, you can count on that, it’ll fade . But yeah, I mean, if Pony is satisfied in what he’s doing then it’s ok, but to me, it’s just not it, I feel like if someone published his book, then the whole percentage of the people will be scarred and they’ll never pick up a book again, but let’s just hope that that doesn’t happen .

{A few minutes later, the group is still trying to reach the motel, there’s no sign of the motel, but instead, they end up in a field}

Reggie} Oh, for god sake . { Shouts and hits the steering wheel in anger}

Johnny} Oh my god, we seemed to have gotten lost in a field, hm, jungle .

Reggie} Yeah Johnny, I can clearly see that, how are we gonna get out of here ?, just stay here in this stupid jungle .

Dallas} I did tell you, didn’t I, I said that you would get us lost in a field, I wasn’t wrong about that, was I ?.

Reggie} Well apparently, life takes you where ever, you don’t choose to do this shit yourself, life does it for you, it’s an absolute pain in the ass .

{Reggie’s read}

” Life can be strange sometimes, like you can wish for something and when it finally happens, it’s not what you expected, hm, that reminds me, I used to be a huge Tom Cruise fan, always wanted to meet him, then suddenly, one day, I find myself sitting on a bus, on the way to an American football stadium to watch a match in Kentucky, then I see him sitting opposite me on the bus, then I heard him whisper very loudly . ”  The Boiled Potato in the dog collar keeps smiling at me, this is why we should of gone first class, Harrison ” . { Gets aggressive}

Ponyboy} Yo, what the hell are we supposed to do now, how are we gonna get outta here ?.

Reggie} I don’t know ok ?, I haven’t a clue, we’re stuck here now, we can’t get out .

Johnny} You know what, Reggie, if you have positive energy, then we can get out of here .

Reggie} No that’s not gonna work, usually I’m all about positive energy, but I don’t think I can master enough .

Ponyboy} You shouldn’t doubt yourself, why you doubting yourself, you’re a good youth worker, you try your best in every situation, which is good, but you’re being too harsh on yourself, I know that you just want to do the right thing and I accept that, because we all try to do the right thing sometimes . But really, you’re a good person, you do your job and you get stuck in, doing what you can for young residents here in New York, but you try too hard to impress everyone, sometimes, you just gotta let your hair down .

{Reggie looks at him} ” You know what, that’s actually true, I am trying too hard, but it’s just so hard to be the person I am, just imagine, waking up every morning, stepping foot in your office and being told what to do by other staff who work in the indestury, it’s hard, it’s really hard. But I love my job, I love helping people and just seeing the look on their faces just makes me feel like everything’s worth while and it just puts a smile on my face, so it’s very difficult for me to walk away from everything all together .

Ponyboy} But listen to me, you’re doing the right thing, you’re definetely down the right path, I can definetely say that .

Reggie sighs} You know, I wasn’t the same guy you know today, I came from a very dysfunctional family, it was just hard to look at the good sides of things, I just saw everything like black and grey, there was no you know, gold or anything, it was just black and grey . And once, I used to have this padded orange jacket, I saved up all of my savings for that jacket, I had my heart set on it, so I bought it . And when I came home, I walked through the door and my father stood there, looking at me, thinking ” What do you think you like in that jacket of yours ?” and the jacket was oversized, but when I was about ten, I didn’t know the differences between sizes but I liked the coat because it felt like me . But my cold blooded father held me by the arm and dragged me along the floor and I looked him in the eye and he felt nothing, I just saw hate and more hate, he didn’t give a shit that I was his son, he just couldn’t wait for me to leave and guide myself through life with no help .

Dallas} Oh god, that’s some heavy stuff, bro, your father sounds like a total scumbag .

Ponyboy} Yeah, but look at you now, you’re a youth worker, you made five great friends, well we get on your nerves quite a lot .

Reggie} No, you don’t, I really don’t mind it, it takes my mind off of other shit that’s going on in the world, you guys don’t bother me at all .

Johnny} Awww, but we can be very annoying sometimes, so just bare that in mind .

{Reggie starts laughing} ‘Hahahaha yeah . { Then they hug each other, then they sit back down}

Ponyboy} So yeah, you know you can do this, you know what to do, you better than this, you can show this field who’s boss .

Reggie} Yes I can do this, that’s right, I can do this, I can find this motel, I can do this, they wouldn’t stand a chance against me .

Ponyboy} Yeah that’s it, you tell them .

{Reggie starts driving} ” Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, look at me, I can do this, look at me now, sucker . { Waves his arms in the air}

{Dally’s read}

” But yeah, I guess, Reggie needs to stop trying to impress everyone, cause like you can’t impress everyone, you can’t impress man nor beast, he just has to do what feels like him, cause when there’s this crazy world with about a hundred crazy things happening, you still have you and if you are ok then that’s all what matters, you know, can you change the stuff in the world ?, no, but can you change the stuff what’s going on in your life ?, yes . But I guess, Reggie just needs to let his hair down, cause he’s thinking too much, you know, he’s got a good thing going here, he just needs take it day by day, see how it goes . But yeah, can’t wait to get to the motel, just wanna go to a fast food place, hm, a nice cheese burger with a strawberry milkshake, hm, happy days .

{Next scene, they finally get to the hotel, they are relieved}

Reggie} Oh my god, I think we are here, we finally found it, yessss.

Ponyboy} It’s about time, that took ten hours and a half .

Dallas} Wow, Jesus Christ, this is the place, it looks like a church .

Reggie} No don’t be silly, it’s the Rotterdam Motel, it looks good, looks like a nice place, just hope that it would be just as nice inside then it is outside .

Johnny} But yeah, it feels like the hotel is trying to talk to me, it’s like it’s trying to tell me something .

Reggie} It’s saying ” hello ” ” Hello Johnny ” .

Ponyboy} I’m so relieved that we found the place, I thought that we would be in the field for hours, the plot thickens, the plot thickens, Reg .

Steve} But yeah, it’s very well maintained, isn’t it ?, it’s got like glass stained windows, it’s got two curtains, that’s the best amount of curtains .

Ponyboy} You gotta have curtains .

Steve} Yeah and there’s like bright lights on, turned on, same as usual . I feel like I’m on some sort of house letting reality show, like this is almost my job in a way . ” Hello, right here, we have a house, a five bed room apartment with three washrooms, perfect for a family of four. And also, the windows are glass stained, perfect for whatever the weather, come on down to Rotterdam Motel, where humans are most comfortable and home is where the heart is .

Dallas} Steve, no ok, you are not Drew Scott and this isn’t The Property Brothers .

Steve} Oh please, I can be who ever I want, this is America, there’s freedom of choice .

Ponyboy} What are you guys waiting for ?, let’s go inside, it’s getting cold out .

Dallas} Dude, I swear, if you’re gonna make us stay here for two days, I won’t let you have it .

Reggie} Yeah well, you have to, you’re staying here and that’s all there is to it, no questions .

Dallas} Why though, why do we have to stay here ?.

Reggie} Cause I am your boss, I am your boss . { Jabs his fingers}

Dallas} No you’re not, stop talking shit, just get us out, get us out .

Reggie} I am your boss . { Jabbing his fingers in Dally’s face}

{Dally’s read}

” I swear to god, if I have to spend two days with this parasite, I will eventually lose my shit and it won’t end in one peace, it will end with me trying to steal Reggie’s RV and try to drive away, then I will have utter chaos going on in the back of the car, I will have Johnny sitting on the roof top, singing Hazel Atkins and then, Pony will hang out of the back of the RV, pretending to be a Gasoline, I honestly can’t wait for this to happen, so I can just see the look on Reggie’s face when it all happens ”.

{ Next scene, they step into the motel, there’s a guy at the reception, he looks ignorant}

Reggie} Hi sir, how are you, it’s a nice day today, isn’t it ?.

{Person just stares at him} ” What ?.

Reggie} Um, you know what, never mind, um, I would like to check in, I did a reservation for me and my friends, a two day stay, a room for six, how much would that cost ?.

Person} Uh sorry, how many are gonna need rooms ?.

Reggie} There’s six of us in total .

Person} Oh ok, that would cost you three grand in total, so if you could hand in the money now, that would be great .

Reggie} Of course, of course, one sec . { Then he goes into his wallet and pulls out a wad of three thousand dollars} ” Ah, he we are, three grand, here you go .

{Person stares at him and takes the money}

Person} Alright sir, your payment’s sorted, I guess that’s about it, have a nice stay .

Reggie} Ah superb, thanks a lot, ok guys, come with me, we’ll find our hotel and start unpacking .

{ The boys follow Reggie into their hotel}

Johnny} Dude, that guy is ignorant . is he always like this, I feel bad for the other staff, the other staff that work upstairs, if there is an upstairs, I have a feeling that there’s only one floor, well then I guess we’re all dead .

Reggie} Johnny, shush, don’t say anything, the guy’s right there in front of us .

Johnny} Right well, that’s a drag .

Reggie} Yes it is a drag, yes it is, come on, let’s go .

{Next scene, Reggie and Johnny are having a look at a plaque that was hanging on a wall in front of them, that seemed to have caught their eye}

{Reggie starts reading what it says on the plaque}

Reggie} A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it and passer by only see a wisp of smoke. Vincent Van Gogh  . This is the stupidest shit, it must be I’m old .

Johnny} I don’t know, who’s Wan Gok ?.

{Whilst they are doing that, Steve and Two Bit are unpacking their bags}

Two Bit} What even is that, is that cologne, I’ve never seen anything like this before, looks like a soda can .

Steve} No it’s Calvin Klein, how does that look like a soda can, tell me how, I must be blind cause surely, this doesn’t look like a soda can .

Two Bit} I don’t know, but from what I do know is that you shouldn’t put that on your skin, is it good though ?, does it make you smell nice ?, cause I can’t help but ask you .

Steve} Yeah, it makes you smell like a man, it attracts all the ladies, just spray this on you and watch the ladies come running in . { Then he sprays it, it accidently sprays it in his face and he starts coughing} ” Por, that’s some strong shit, I’m telling you .

{Two Bit starts laughing}

Steve} Yeah just don’t do what I did, use it with care, otherwise you get curse .

{ Meanwhile, Johnny and Pony are in their room, Pony is jumping on his bed and goofing around}

{ Pony jumps on his bed} Whoooooo, wow, this feels super comfy, I was expecting for it to be hard and dense .

Johnny} Wait, jump on it again, jump on it again .

{Pony jumps on the bed once more} Ahhhhhhhhhhhh .

Johnny} Hahahaha, that’s so cool, but yeah, don’t do it again cause you might break the bed frame .

{Next scene, Dallas is in his room, lying on his bed, watching a film on his tv, there’s a scene with this woman who is pointing a gun at two men who are lying on a bed and the woman is going ape shit, but the real question is why are there two guys lying on a bed and why does the woman have a gun ?.}

Dallas} Aw sick, they even have a tv, this is everything I could ever wish for, if you have a tv then you’re all sorted and it’s a proper one as well, it’s a ten inch Plasma . { Starts talking to the directors} Alright well, I’m gonna just chill out for a little bit, if that’s fine with you, you guys can shoot off now, yeah ?. { Shuts the door}

{It’s about 10 pm and everyone is asleep, completely out of it . Then suddenly, out of no where, Reggie is still awake and he is in angry mood because no one keeps the hotel tidy}

{Reggie touches the house phone as to him, it’s all sticky and apparently, he’s not happy about it}

Reggie} Look at the phone, look at it, it’s so nasty in this house . { Then he puts his hand on his face} ” how can I make this house so sticky, this house has, this shit has so much syrup all over it, look look . Then he knocks over the Mountain Dew can and gets up and storms around the house in a bad mood} ” Who did that to the phone ?, you know what, here . { Picks up frying pan and starts marching around the house} I’m tired of ya’ll morons in this house, you’re gonna make me lose my mind, ya’ll, where’s the freaking pots, where’s the freaking pots . { picks up two pots in the cupboard and bangs them together} I’m tired of ya’ll, wake up, get the hell up, get up, get up, wake the frick up, clean the freaking house, get the frick up, get the frick up . { Starts walking around, banging the pots together} I’ll wipe it, I’ll wipe it, I’ll wipe, get up, tired of ya’ll, you think I’m done, I’m not done, it’s not over til a youth worker  sings, let me hear you sing . { Then suddenly, Johnny walks into the kitchen and sees Reggie going crazy with the pots} ” Wamp wamp wamp . { Steve wakes up from nap, laughing his head off} { Then Reggie finds another room to go mad in}

Reggie} I ain’t gonna sleep cause of you, ya’ll never gonna sleep cause of me . { Carries banging the pots} ” Wapppppp wappppp ” . Alright, I’ll get something louder, I’ll get something louder . { Goes to find something else, Ponyboy gets up from his bed}

Ponyboy} This is ridiculous .

Dallas} Just call the cops, call the cops on this mad man, going mad all over the house .

Reggie} You know who I’m gonna call, you know who I’m gonna call, cause this what’s gonna go on on, motherfuckers .

Ponyboy} What, what did we do ?.

Reggie} You kept me awake with all that noise . { Then he bangs the pot in his face} It’s gonna go down .

{Then Dallas comes to try and calm it down}

Dallas} Woah look, Reggie, it’s fine, it’s cool, we’re cool, we got no problems here, you’re waking everyone up . { Puts his hands on his shoulders}

Reggie} No get off me, man, you’re sticky hands on my shirt, go away, man, ew .

{ Everybody just stares at the camera all confused}

 

{ A few minutes later, it’s all calmed down, everyone is eating breakfast in the kitchen}

Johnny} Yo, what the hell happened earlier, you were going full phycho, was everything alright ?.

Reggie} Yeah um, I think it’s just better that we forget about it, I just don’t wanna talk about it, we’re just gonna have breakfast and have a quiet morning to ourselves .

Johnny} Ok then .

Ponyboy} Right so, what are we gonna do today ?, do you have any plans ?.

Reggie} Yeah, today, I’m gonna take you guys to a night club, how about that ?.

Ponyboy} Um, yeah that sounds fun .

Dallas} What, we’re going to a nightclub, why are we going to a night club ?.

Reggie} Well I just think that it’s a lot of fun, you’ll enjoy it .

Johnny} Yeah, it’ll be really fun, what night club are we gonna go to ?.

Reggie} Well, I don’t know yet, but there’s a small night club bar sort of place round the corner, it’s called The Hype House, it looks quite flash, think we’ll go there .

Ponyboy} Wait, but I think that you need to be a member, cause you need to be a member if you wanna join .

Reggie} Nah, I don’t think so, it should be fine, if somebody tries to stop us, then I’ll have to explain to the security .

Ponyboy} Yeah but, relatively speaking, if you wanted to go there, you’d have to be a member, otherwise they won’t let you in .

Steve} True dat .

Reggie} Ok well, that’s about it, I think, I think it’s time to go to the night club, what do you say ?.

Steve} Yeah let’s go .

{Then they all stand in a row, getting ready to go to the night club}

Johnny} Yeah heh heh hehhh, let’s go party !!!!! . { He says as he puts his arm in the air}

{Next scene, they are at the Hype House Night club and it’s slightly dark outside}

Ponyboy} Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, in all her glory, Hype House . { Talks to the camera}

Reggie} Ah, looks like we’re here, this is the place, right ?.

Johnny} Well yeah, it’s Hype House, it says it on the wall, so .

Dallas} No I think what Reggie is trying to say, is that this might not actually be a night club, this might be something else, like I don’t know, um, a falafel factory .

Johnny} Nah, nonsense, why would they call a falafel factory, Hype House, like you go in there to see on how falafel is made, what hype do you get out of it, I am 100 % positive that this is the place .

Ponyboy} Yeah Dallas, see, Johnny’s right, this is a night club, not a falafel factory, if this was a falafel factory, you would see chick peas and falafel grinding out of the machines instead of people dancing and drinking alcohol .

Dallas} Well yeah, but it’s not though, cause like .

Ponyboy} Yeah but it is though . { Shakes his head}

{Dallas just stares at the camera in a awkward way}

{Next scene, they are walking in the night club venue, there are people dancing, mingling and having fun, Badala Zamana{ Habibi Funk 015 by Zohra starts playing in the back round}

Johnny} Woah man, this is crazy .

Dallas} This is shit .

{Johnny’s read}

” Yeah, I really enjoy going to night clubs, like I sort of got it from my dad, because he used to go clubbing at the age of 20, my mother, not so much, cause she just do other stuff like shopping and rushing to the mall with her friends and shit like that. Obviously, this is a little bit different cause er, I’m partying with a bunch of morons . As long as they just stick to the dancing and stuff like that then it’ll be fine . Dally is a little bit of a party owl, if you know what I mean, cause like, he loves being silly and messing around and hooking up with chicks and shit like that, and like, once when he went to a country club with me, he had a bit too much to drink and he ended up carrying a girl home. Now, that’s where it gets quite weird cause, when he recovered from his hang over the next morning, he realized that there was a girl sitting on his couch and he was like ” What the hell ?” but he had no memory of the night before, he only just realized what he did . But that was like two years ago, a lot has changed and I hope that he has learned from his mistake . Cause if he didn’t, then there’s gonna be a serious negotiation between me and him and I’m hoping that it’s not gonna happen the second time tonight, fingers crossed ” .

{Next scene, Dallas starts dancing like mad, like he’s off of his head}

Ponyboy} Yo, what the hell, is Dallas alright, like ?, he seems to be going crazy .

Johnny} Yeah he’s alright, he’s having a great time, look at him, off his nut .

{Dally’s read}

” Whooo, this is the best thing ever, I feel alive, but the music is shit, I hope that someone steps in and does a good song request, but yeah, I feel alive and I really do hope that everyone knows that this is all natural and not that I am just high on Ectasy ” .

Johnny} Jesus Christ, this shit is so depressing, man, we need a little bit of oomph in here, every little helps .

Ponyboy} Yeah you’re right, you know what, I’m gonna go and suggest a song to the dj, he’s right there, I’ll be back in a jiff . { Then goes to have a chat with the dj about suggesting a song of choice}

{ Pony finds the dj and starts talking to him}

Ponyboy} Hey man, how’s it going, this place is wild .

The dj} Oh tell me about it, this place is very busy on Thursdays, but they come here to have a good time, some of them party too hard as well, but other then that, it’s all good, all good .

Ponyboy} Yep, that’s cool, that’s cool, Oh hey, I almost forgot, um, I was wondering if you could do me a favor .

The dj} Of course, man, what can I do for you ?.

Ponyboy} Well, you see, me and my friends are out on this small field trip and we’re only here for two days, so we wanna make up for lost time, but the music here is a little bit bland, no offense, so can you put on like something else, please ?.

The dj} Uh yeah sure, no problem .

Ponyboy} Oh ok cool, are you taking any requests at the moment, or ?.

The dj} Uh, I’m still taking song requests, I’ll be doing this for pretty much the whole entire night, but we’re closing at 10 45 on the dot, so I’m sure you understand .

Ponyboy} Uh yeah of course, so let’s see, um, can you play a bit of Gabba, like are you familiar with that ?.

The dj} Yeah I am familiar with Gabba, I play it sometimes, but it just depends on the listeners, cause with some of them, it’s not really their thing, but yeah, I can play it for you, thanks for the request and have a great night .

Ponyboy} Cool, thanks man, keep it up with all great tracks, man . { Then he walks up to Johnny}

Johnny} Did you talk to the dj ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, nice guy .

Johnny} So, what song did you request ?.

Ponyboy} Gabba .

{Next scene, the boys are dancing like mad on the dance floor whilst the gabba is playing}

Dallas} Man, you know some real shit, man .

Ponyboy} Yeah I know man . { Starts doing a weird dance where he bends over and he waves his arms around} ” What, da da da da da, heyyyyyyyyy .

{A few minutes later, the Gabba stopped playing, a different song came on, Dallas is sitting in the corner of the room, having his drink, Pony walks up to him}

Ponyboy} Hey Dallas, there’s some great shit playing, me and Johnny are gonna sheet faced at the bar, maybe a play a game, have a beer or two, wanna go and dance ?.

Dallas} Nah man, this song is too poppy for my liking, I’m gonna sit around, waiting for a different song to come on. What, did you request this song ?.

Ponyboy} Duh, yes of course I did, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of Bruce Springsteen, gets the blood pumping . Well ok then, do whatever you want . Me and Johnny are gonna have a little bit of fun . Man, have you seen the strobes here, they are mental, I just thought that they would have a little bit more entertainment, no one’s doing anything, they’re just drinking alcohol, welcome to my world of fun house .

Dallas} Yeah well, I tell you what, if you’re looking for some more entertainment, I got a van in my back yard, I got a van with a group of five grown men with banjos .

Ponyboy} Yeah, I think I’ll pass on that . Wow, this song is great . { Starts dancing} Wooo, feel the warmph, Dallas .

Dallas} No no no no no . { Trying to get away}

{Dally’s read}

” Nah, rock, nah I don’t, I don’t deal in that shit, I’m, I’m hip hop ” .

{Next scene, Pony left Dallas and now, Dallas is still sitting in the corner, he’s sitting next to a random stranger, starts talking to him}

 

Dallas} You enjoying the party, so many people here, this place is wild .

Person} Yeah, so what are you doing here, you here to snort cocaine, I got a few friends who have a shit load of it, I can fetch some out for you, if you want ?.

Dallas} Uh no, I’m not here for drugs, I’m just here with my friends, my youth worker said that he was gonna take us to a night club in the middle of a village, then my mind just went straight into like Deliverance .

{Person starts laughing}

Dallas} Oh well, it was great knowing you, but er, I gotta go and find my friend, take care, man . { Then he leaves and he goes to find Pony}

{Then he finds Steve and asks on where Pony is}

Dallas} Hey Steve, do you know where Pony is, he was here a while ago, do you know where he is ?.

Steve} No man, he said that we was going to the washroom, you should probably go and look for him there, man .

Dallas} Alright man, catch you later .

{ Meanwhile, Johnny is playing a drinking game, he has set up these plastic cups in five rows and you have to drink them and you try not to fall and slip and fall onto the table} { Johnny drinks the first bunch and then he goes mad, he knocks over the row of cups and then he accidently falls onto the table, the beer makes his clothes all soaking wet}

Johnny} Hahaha, I’m the winner, yayeet .

Dallas} Johnny, come on, man, we gotta find Pony . { Then he drags Johnny along with him}

{Next scene, Dallas walks into the washroom, looking for Pony}

Dallas} Pony, Pony, are you alright, man ?.

{Pony shouts Dally’s name at the top of his lungs} ” Ahhhhhhh fuck me, ahhhhhhh Christ, you’re not coming after me, oh no nah, forget it ” . { Dallas sees Pony leaning against the wall, sitting on the floor}

Dallas} Oh my giddiyant, what are you doing here, man, are you alright ?.

Ponyboy} Oh hi doc, can you nurse me back to health ?, oh my god, it’s hoju, why the hell were you dancing with a coctail generator .

Dallas} What, who the hell is Hoju, why would I be dancing with a coctail generator ?, are you ok ?.

Ponyboy} Nah, nah, you are hoju, you were like ” Na na na hayyy ” with the coctail generator in your hand, why were you doing that ?.

Dallas} Oh, don’t tell me that you had another dream .

Ponyboy} Why the hell would I be having a dream, what are you, nuts ?. I met Hoju and he started talking to me and he was like ” Hi, come to the coctail bar, I have peanut dust ” and I was like ” No, I don’t want no peanut dust ” I’m not buying anything that guy would sell . Then suddenly, he had a parrot on his shoulder, the parrot spoke French .

Dallas} Hm, is it, wow, it’s obvious you’re going mad .

Ponyboy} No I’m not going mad . I spoke to him face to face, I told him to stop jiving, he almost pissed himself, I told him to go and meet you, he wants to speak to you, he’s been looking all over for you .

Dallas} I’m not meeting Hoju, forget about it, you’re drunk, you’re going mad .

Ponyboy} Nah, He is real, he sang this song, he was like ” Hi, I’m Hoju, where is your friend, I’m gonna go and get a coctail, I’m walking away ” .

Dallas} Pony, stop it, that doesn’t help, are you alright, how are you feeling ?, the other guys are worried about you .

Ponyboy} Yeah, just had too much to drink, I’m ok . { Slurs his speech}

Dallas} Come on, man, we gotta help you up, we gotta get you outta here .

Ponyboy} No, I’m not letting you help me up, your fingers are gonna go up my ass, don’t trust you .

Dallas} No, it won’t happen, you can’t get up anyway, you’re too dizzy . How many fingers am I holding up ?. { Holds up two fingers}

Ponyboy} What do you mean, you’re not holding up any fingers .

Dallas} Oh come on, just guess, it’s a test of your focus, how many am I holding up ?.

Ponyboy} Five .

Dallas} Ok you know what, forget it, that’s not working .

Ponyboy} Oh man, the, man in the mirror, he keeps staring at me . { Puts his hand up to block the light of the cameras}

Dallas} The man in the mirror, what man in the mirror ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, but you just, you just, talk, say, say your name three times and then the man appears , it’s like ” Poy poy poy ”, It’s creeping me out, man, I’m scared shitless . Ahhhhhhhhhhh, get away, hell no beast . { Slurs his words and is delirious}

Dallas} Shhhhhh shh, It’s alright, man, it’s cool, you’re gonna be alright, don’t shout, you’re gonna deafen me . { Starts singing} ” Twinkle Twinkle little star ” .

Ponyboy} Oh piss off, this isn’t Glee, just stop slacking off and help me up .

Dallas} Right ok, sorry . { He lifts him up, accidently hits his head up in Dally’s crotch whilst Dallas drags him}

Ponyboy} Ahhhhhhhhhh. Oh come on, man, not the crotch, are you crazy or something ?, you crazy man .

Dallas} Yeah well, accidents happen, mistakes get made, life goes on . { He lifts him up} ” There we go, does that feel better ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, that does feel so much better, man . But just don’t drag me, next time, that is not how you help people .

Dallas} Whatever, that’s how I’m gonna have to do it, I can’t pull you around in a wheel barrow, that would be stupid of me, wouldn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Ahhhhhhh god, Dallas, I feel nautious, just help me up, there are people looking at me, looking like I just shat myself .

Dallas} What, what are you talking about, there’s no one there, ok, there’s probably one or two, but it’s a washroom, what do you expect ?.

Dallas} Look man, I’m gonna help you up, just relax, yeah, it’s gonna be alright, I was thinking, after this, we can do parkour, me and you are gonna be friends, we’re gonna be friends .

Ponyboy} Dally, please, stop talking shit and help me up, otherwise I’ll throw up on you .

Dallas} Ok ok, I’ll help you up, just give me a sec .

. { Then he tries to carry him on his shoulder}

Ponyboy} Ahhhhh, Jesus Christ, put me down, put me down, na banchots . { Freaks out}

Dallas} Bare with me, bare with me . { He carries him on his shoulder, then suddenly, Pony throws up all over him}

{Ponyboy gags}

Ponyboy} Eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oh fuck, Jesus tap dancing Christ . { There are people staring at them, like they are crazy, Dallas looks at them and smiles}

Dallas} Hi, hello, you alright ?, yeah, mind us, trust me, it’s not what it looks like, he just met posiden in the washroom, he’s feeling a little shook .

Guy} Are you sure he’s ok, is there anything I can do ?, do you want me to get help ?.

Dallas} Noooooooo, no no no no, we are absolutely fine, thank you very much, heh, get help, haha . { Mumbles} { The person walks off}

Dallas} Haha, sike .

Ponyboy} Who the hell is Posiden ?.

Dallas} I have no clue .

Ponyboy} Look man, can you just cut the horse shit and help me up, you talking about posiden, by the time, the gang finds us, we’ll look like two clowns having sex, you know, sometimes, I wonder if you are ok, why the hell would I meet Posiden in the washroom ?, god knows . { Throws up again}

 

Dallas} Oh god, ahhhh, ok this is an absolute nightmare, yep, it’s alright, it’s alright, see, you just needed a good clear out, sometimes you just a good release. What the hell did you eat for breakfast this morning ?.

Ponyboy} How the hell am I suppose to know, I was sick just now, you know what I’m saying like ?. Arghhh, that feels so much better, the curse has been lifted, I’m Batman . { Does a weird move and lifts himself of the floor, Dallas just looks at him like he’s mad}

 

{Pony gets up and starts walking back, leaving Dallas behind, but it’s ok cause Dallas makes his way back himself}

Pony shouts} Johnny, groovy gang, ayyyyy, Woah, that’s a nice mirror. { Then carries on walking to find the boys} { Then he walks back into the night club}

Dallas} Hey, Pony, wait up . { Following after him}

{ Then it shows, Dallas carrying Pony on his shoulders}

Ponyboy} Ahhhhhhh shit shit shit shit, woah woah woah, ok, put me down, put me down . { Says it in a weird voice as he tells Dallas to put him down}

Dallas} Jesus Christ, you weigh a ton .

Ponyboy} Oh get out of here .

{Dally’s read}

” Friends are there for each other no matter what, me and Pony are good friends, it may not seem like it, but we are. I’m not sure if Pony told you all about our little meet up, I don’t think he did, but I think that he just doesn’t say much about our friendship story, but it’s really funny cause we all met each other in different ways and most of them are bizarre. So basically, I met Steve at high school, he was that sort of geeky kid, but also the sort of boy who would rob you clean because he had that charm in him, it’s like you can’t say no to him . Then also, I met Two Bit at a gas station a couple years back, he was starting his first job, but then he got sacked straight after cause he got caught drinking a bottle of soda that was on sale for the customers, it’s a shame . But um, then I remember how I met Johnny, I met him at a bus stop, then he shouted a few words out to me, I had no idea why, but then he thought that I was Art Garfunkel . Just turns out he was a fan of Simon and Garfunkel, but I had to explain who I really was and he apologized, then from that day on, we were good friends . Then how I met Pony, I think I just had a friend who knew him, so there was this party, I saw a guy who wore this black suit with an ovary tie . And I was like ” Who the f is that ?” then I had a little chat with him and boom, we’re buddies still to this day ” . I wouldn’t trade it with anything else, I just think that friendships form in very different ways and it’s very sudden ” .

{A few minutes later, he’s back in the night club, talking to Johnny}

Johnny} Hey man, what happened, we were worried about you .

Ponyboy} Yeah man, I was sick, like, I think somebody spiked my coctail or something .

Johnny} Shit, really ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, but it’s fine, I’m ok now, so, but yeah, this is nuts, man, these people are loving it .

{Then it shows Dallas in the bathroom, trying to clean his coat cause it sick all over it}

Dallas} Wait sorry, does anyone have any tissues ?. { But there’s no response} { Then, Two Bit enters the washroom and sees Dallas and starts laughing at him}

Two Bit} Hahahahahaha . { Points at him}

Dallas} What, it’s not funny, I am covered in barf and there are no tissues anywhere .

Two Bit} You could just use the kitchen towls, there’s about five of them, why don’t use them ?.

Dallas} What, you gotta to be kidding me, I’m not using the kitchen towls to wipe the sick off of me, the owners are gonna find out on who did this, then they’re gonna ban me from night clubs .

Two Bit} Whatever man, just get it off your jacket, it looks weird, sort of leaves a weird pattern on it .

Dallas} Oh well, that’s very helpful, way to go . { Dallas talks to the directors} ” You know what, guys, let’s just wrap this up, yeah ?, I just have a lot on my mind at the moment, need to clean this shit off ” .

{Pony’s read}

” Man, honestly, it’s been so long that I’ve been to a night club, I used to go all the time, I’m just not to keen on the drinking part, cause I can’t really handle it, but apart from that, it’s all good ” .

{ Director starts asking him questions}

Director} What happened earlier ?.

Pony} I’m sorry what ?.

Director} I said, what happened earlier, like with you, throwing up and stuff ?.

Ponyboy} Oh yeah yeah, it was um, I can’t actually remember, I just had a few shots of Jack Daniels whiskey and then I felt nauseated, then the next thing I know, I see Dallas running into the washroom, I honestly had no clue, I’ll have to ask him about it later, not, hahaha, are you kidding me, why would I ask him about my episode, I’m not interested, let’s just keep this between you and me, yeah ?.

{Act six, everybody is still in the night club, Reggie came back and he was having a chat with the boys}

Reggie} Oh shit, were you alright ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah I was sick like, off of my head, I was like, Boom, like, on the floor, it was crazy .

Reggie} Ah, well I’m glad you’re ok now, you had me worried for a second .

Ponyboy} Hey Reggie, do you know Gabba ?.

Reggie} Do I know what ?.

Ponyboy} Gabba, it’s like a genre of music, I suggested this song to the dj and this place went wild, the walls were booming, completely out of control, but some of them didn’t like it, that just shows that different people like different things .

Reggie} That’s true, that’s very true, good observation .

{A few minutes later, Johnny was in the staff toilets}

{One of the managers in the night club knocks on the door and shouts}

Staff member} Excuse me, is there anyone in the staff toilet ?.

{Johnny hears him and freezes}

Johnny} Yes, I’m staff . { Then he comes out}

Staff member} Were you slacking off in there ?, go and get changed . { Then Johnny follows after the staff member, get’s mistaken for a staff member}

{ Whilst all of that was happening, there were two guys standing in the corner, making sly comments about Pony}

Person} Dude, I swear right, there was this guy in the washroom, looking like somebody had a go with him, honestly, he looked like he was gonna cry .

Other guy} Hahaha, oh my god, degenerate .

Person} I know right, people these days, but whatever it is, I hope he gets the help he needs, cause he’s not gonna stay in this night club if he’s gonna carry on being like that .

{Whilst that’s going on, Dallas is in the corner, hearing every word what those guys said, he had something up his sleeve}

Dallas} Look man, I gotta go, talk to you later . { Then he leaves}

Two Bit} Wait, you’re not gonna have another round of drinks ?.

{ Then Dallas goes outside to find one of the guys who was talking trash about his friend, cause he’s not having it} { The guy is found outside, taking a piss, he starts talking to him}

Person} Alright, there’s room for one more . { Turns around}

Dallas} Hey man, I heard what you said about my friend, if you’re gonna do that, just tell me what you said and I’ll let you walk out of here alive .

Person} One minute, you’re the fella who is friends with that degenerate, what, you like him, mate ?, how you manage being with him, it’s beyond me, I don’t know how you do it, but thanks for the advice, I’ve got advice for you, bugger off .

{Then Dallas beats him up by strangling him and head butting him into the wall, then starts tackling and kicking him in the chest, the guy falls on the floor and then, Dallas picks up the lid of the trash can and whacks him on the head with it, the guy begs him to stop hurting him, but Dallas was having none of it}

Dallas} You’re lucky I’m showing mercy .

Person} This is mercy ?, you almost killed me .

Dallas} Never talk shit about my friend again, you understand ?.

Person} Whatever you say .

{Dallas hangs him by the neck} ” What did you say ?” .

Person} I’ll leave him alone, I won’t talk about him again, I’ll, I’ll disappear . { With an afraid look on his face}

Dallas} Damn right you will . { Lets go of him} { Then walks away} ” mate ” . { A few minutes later, Dallas walks back into the night club, once more and he is ordering drinks}

Dallas} Hey hey hey, bartender, how’s it going, man ?.

Bartender} Yeah it’s alright man, this place is crazy, hey you know what, there’s a guy a few tables down, who looks like Kenny Rogers, he’s hovering out the whole bar, everyone’s asking him for autographs, it’s sick, man, sick .

Dallas} Oh really, that’s nuts . Oh hey um, hook me up with the good stuff, will ya ?.

Bartender} Sure man, what can I get ya, Jack Daniels, Gin and Tonic, Whisky, Ale ?.

Dallas} Uh no actually um, I need something with a bit of a kick, I’m going all out tonight, we’re only staying here for two days, going home on Wednesday, let’s go crazy .

Bartender} Sure man, just give me a sec, I’ll fetch it out for you in a minute . { Pours moon shine in a beer glass then it gives it Dallas} Ah, here we are, a nice glass on moon shine, top of the range .

Dallas} Ah thanks man, how much should I pay you in return ?.

Bartender} Uh don’t worry about that, I’m doing it for free, one night only, can’t go wrong .

Dallas} Nah man, I can’t let you go home, empty handed, here, take fifty dollars, it’s on me, spend it well.

Bartender} Ah man, are you sure you wanna do this, I’m alright with money, here look, take it, I can’t do it .

Dallas} Nah nah nah, I don’t want it, you need it for this nice little business you have here, you need a few bucks to survive on, anyway, take it, every little helps .

Bartender} Ah good one, thanks a lot, man, I appreciate it .

Dallas} Hey don’t mention it, ok well, I’m afraid I gotta get going, my friends are waiting for me, we gotta get back before the curfew, all of that late late traffic drama, don’t wanna get in the middle of it .

Bartender} Oh tell me about it, oh well, it was nice seeing you, I hope you have a good one .

Dallas} Yeah same to you, see ya, Kenny Rogers, pfffff, maniac { Mumbles} . { Walks off, picks up four glasses of alcohol that belong to random strangers and takes it with him} { Then he walks outside, where the guy who was talking trash about Dally’s friend was, after Dallas beated him up, he walks towards him, splashes his glass of moon shine all over him}

Dallas} Hahahaha, here you go, have some lovely moon shine, nice and fresh, here we are, a nice glass for you, hahaha, what is this shower ?.

{Person doesn’t talk, cause he is concussed}

{Dallas finds some more glasses of alcohol and splashes it all over him}

Dallas} Here we go, have some whisky, have some Gin and Tonic, oh and here you go, have some lovely Vodka, fresh from the bar, hahaha, idiot . { Walks away, laughing his head off} { Walks up to the door of the night club and does a fist bump in the air} ” Yeah heh heh alright ” . { Next scene, Reggie hangs around near the bar, asks for a drink, but there’s a surprise in store}

Reggie} Hiya .

{Johnny turns around}

Johnny} Hello sir .

{Reggie is in shock, makes a facial expression}

{Johnny has an uncomfortable look on his face, Reggie is absolutely speechless}

Johnny} Can I get you anything sir ?.

Reggie} Uh yes, can I have one glass of wine, please ?.

Johnny} What do you prefer, white or red ?.

Reggie} White please .

Johnny} Of course, one glass of white wine, coming up . { Walks up to the set of champagne glasses and aims to pick one up, but knocks all of them over. He stands there, he picks one up that is not smashed to smitherines}

{Reggie tries to wipe his eyes, cause he thinks that he’s just seeing things, but he’s not, Johnny is actually the bartender} { Then he leaves the bar}

{Next scene, Steve is dancing on the dance floor, the dj was supposed to be there but he has disappeared and he is no where to be seen, Steve carries on dancing, then suddenly, he thinks that he can be a silly fool and to have a laugh, so he stands behind the speakers and the sound system and has a go}

Steve} Oh yeah, now we’re talking. Now, let’s see what this baby can do . { Then he puts the pair of wired ear phones on and fiddles around with the sound system, he presses buttons and turns the volume up} { Then suddenly, some stranger walks up to him and asks him to play a certain tune}

Stranger} Hi .

Steve} Oh hello, hello hello hello, what can I do for you, sir ?.

Stranger} Well, do you know what, I want to suggest a certain song, are you still taking song requests ?.

Steve} Uh yes, I’m still taking song requests, so, what song would you like me to play ?.

Stranger} Can you play a bit of Simon And Garfunkel ?.

Steve} Wait, is that the band or the song ?, I’m sorry it’s just, I haven’t heard this sort of music before, I’m sort of new to it, you see ?.

Stranger}  But you’re the dj, you’re supposed to know your stuff, you get hired and they you a hundred bucks for you to come to wedding venues and night clubs, how comes you don’t know Simon And Garfunkel ?.

Steve} I don’t know, that’s like country folk music, isn’t it, yeah, I don’t know it, does it look like I live in the countryside, what, you think I live in a farm and there’s this boy who plays the banjo every few minutes, you must be crazy .

Stranger} Ok, it’s not country folk music, you donkey .

Steve} Look, do you wanna go stand outside ?, you think you can hustle me, hustler, well I’m gonna hustle you now, yeah ?.

{A few minutes later, after Steve calmed down a little bit, he carries on playing music} { Dallas walks up to girl and starts talking to her whilst dancing, the girl is with one of her friends}

Dallas} Hello . { Says it in a weird voice} ” Hahaha, this place is wild, isn’t it ?, but do you know what’s more wild, my bladder, haha, I really really really need a piss. Let’s get out of here, me and you, what do you say, let’s just get outta here .

The girl} No sorry, can we, can we just dance, like on our own ?.

Dallas} Yeah sure, sure, but maybe we can meet up, sometime next week, what do you reckon ?, like would you, if you could, I’m sure you would .

{The girl looks at him like he’s mad}

The girl} I’m sorry, I’m sorry, who are you ?.

Dallas} Starsky, name of the tomb stones, baby . Oh, I see that there’s someone with you, who is that ?.

The girl} Oh this is one of my friends .

The other girl} Hi . { Waves awkwardly}

Dallas} Hm, , she looks drop dead gorgeous, um hello, haha, you want a new boyfriend ?, hahaha . Oh well, I better head off, it was nice talking to you, man . { Turns around and talks to the camera} ” I didn’t think it was a lady ” . { Then next scene, he walks up to Steve and talks to him}

Dallas} Hey Steve, you alright, man, how’s it going ?.

Steve} Yeah it’s good, man, por, have you seen this sound system ?, the music is through the roof .

Dallas} Why are you the dj ?.

Steve} I have no idea, honestly, but this is actually sick, bro, have you heard some of the songs that the dj has, man, they are proper sick tunes, man .

Dallas} Yeah, well, you wanna hear some real old school music, play a bit of the good old hip hop, make sure that the people here leave the night club with great interests and goose bumps .

Steve} Oh alright, what song would you like to request ?.

Dallas} Look, I tell you what, let me find it, cause it’s so rare, that you won’t even find it . { Then he goes and finds the song} { The He Man Heyeyeyey meme song plays}

Steve} What in the fu .

{Next scene, Reggie has  gone outside for fresh air cause he thinks that he has lost his mind}

{Reggie talks to himself}

Reggie} Jesus Christ, how much wine did I drink ?.

{Reggie’s read}

” I don’t even know what the hell is going on, I don’t even know if I have drank too much alchohol or if it’s all real life, but god, do I wish that it was all a dream, yes, I turn around, I see Johnny behind the bar, taking orders for drinks and coctails,  how the hell did he do that ?, Jesus Christ, I think I’m going mad ” . { Then he runs around in the street, trying to get wifi so that he could get in touch with Steve, cause he just has no idea what’s going on} { Tries to call him but the answering machine is saying other stuff and he’s getting fustrated}

Reggie} Yes hello, yes, is this Steve ?, is it, oh for god sake, no I don’t want to speak to a guy named Amjad, I wanna speak to Steve, Steve is his name, get me Steve, let me talk to him, please . Oh for god sake, see, this is what I hate about modern day technology, you get these stupid robots in these cellphones. Right I’m gonna try it again . Hello, is this Steve

{ A scammer joins the phone call}

Indian Scammer} Yes this is Steve, hello .

Reggie} No it’s not, you’re not Steve, don’t play games .

Indian scammer} Yes I am Steve, I am though .

Reggie} No you’re fucking not, get off the line .

Indian scammer} Oh bloody hell !!! . { The Indian scammer ends the conversation and Indian music start playing in the phoneline { The song plays} ” Owa owa owa, owa owa owa owa, Koi yahan aha nache nache, koi yahan aha nache nache, owa owa owa owa, buia jaman yehi, buiaa jaman hehi, buiaa jaman bang bang, buiaaa jama yehi, buiaa jama yehi, buia jama bang bang, do do do do do do do do do, do do do do . harghhh, these fucking things, man . { Then he tries again} ” Yeah hello, Steve, are you there ?, over .

{Steve picks up the phone}

Steve} Reggie, you don’t need to say over, this is a cellphone, just say hello .

Reggie} Oh thank god, you picked up the phone, I was calling you hundreds of times, no one picked up. I was just wondering if you knew what was going on, cause everything has gone slightly cuckoo and I don’t know why , so I thought that you might know .

Steve} Oh well um, Johnny has applied to be a bartender, he is now serving people drinks, it’s crazy if you think about it, they’re paying him about fifty dollars an hour, it’s mental .

Reggie} Oh is it, hm. But um, Steve, Steve, I’m not calling you because I wanna know the amount of cash they pay their members of staff, I have run around for about five hours, trying to get signal cause there’s no Wifi in the club, everyone is in their own world, dancing and drinking alchohol, drifting along like tumbling tumbleweeds, this isn’t The Breakfast Club / Hanky Panky meal time, alright, I’m out here, I think I’m hellucinating, where are the boys ?.

Steve} Well, Johnny’s still serving drinks, I have no idea where Pony is, Dallas is on the dance floor, doing Motown or something, oh wait no, it’s Northern Soul, it’s Northern Soul, and I am just having my drink, Two Bit is just laughing weirdly, I don’t know why, but earlier, the boys were  sitting in the corner of the room, smoking cigarettes, showing each other their best Don Draper impression, yes, that’s what they were doing, I honestly have no clue why they were doing that .

{Two Bit in the back round}

Two Bit} It’s because it’s fun, that’s why .

Steve} Yeah right . So yeah um, where are you now ?.

Reggie} I’m in the middle of the freezing cold, there’s mist, there’s mist in the air, I am hellucinating, you need to tell them to get their asses down here, immediatly, otherwise, I will kick you so hard that you will end up getting booted in my office cabinet, understood, all of you are fucking mental, I’m gonna lock you in pultation tank and pump you full of sewage until you fucking drown .

Steve} Reg, Reg, would you like me to tell you the way of the world ?.

Reggie} I’m sorry ?.

Steve} I said, I said, would you like me to tell you the way of the world .

Reggie} What way of the world, honestly, you talk so much shit sometimes .

Steve} Look I’m just saying that everything’s fine, everyone is doing their own thing, you have nothing to worry about, honestly, Reggie.

Reggie} Oh ok, are you playing games, we’re playing a game now, ok so this is what it is, isn’t it, oh ok, I get it, fucking hoity toity .

{Some stranger walks up to Reggie and tells him to be quiet}

Stranger} Excuse me, sir, it’s not up to you to use this sort of language, you need to calm down, have a bit of inner peace, God loves you, Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for us .

Reggie} Kiss my sweaty balls, you fat fuck . { Walks off} ” I’m coming back in, I’m coming back in, I’m gonna find you guys myself, hahaha, you better watch out, you better watch out, you better watch out ” . { Sings}

{When he’s done with getting fresh air, he goes back into the night club, he turns around and sees Steve with head phones on and playing music, Reggie looks at him like he’s about to faint because he’s so shocked, but Steve just looks at him and smiles, it’s funny because Steve lied to him, he said that he was having his drink, but he’s not, he is taking over on the dj’s set}

{ Next scene, Pony and Two Bit are sitting in a room, smoking a cigarette and they don’t know where they are}

Ponyboy} Man, this is crazy, do you know what, we should do more stuff like this, like, one day, when we leave New York and we all get jobs, we should go and get like a massive tent in Cyprus and like there’s gonna be hundreds of Greeks in there and we’re just gonna be making Koupes all day .

Two Bit} Yeah and like, that is an amazing idea, you are a genius . We should also get a van and like smoke bare weed and like shit in a bucket and drink our own piss .

Ponyboy} Yeah, that is sick . Por, Jesus Christ, what cigarettes are these ?.

Two Bit} There’s some guy selling drugs in the bar, you can get like three different kinds for forty dollars, well cheap, it’s crazy .

Ponyboy} Hm, you know what, we’re like brothers, we are living the vida loca, we’re living the dream, look at us, we’re sitting here, blazing and dazing, this is the dream .

Two Bit} Yeah. Wait, did you just say that we’re gonna get a shit in a bucket and drink our own piss ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, that’s what you do, don’t ya ?.

Two Bit} Hah no you don’t .

Ponyboy} Shhhh, don’t say anything, I don’t want the people to know that we just said that . Just pretend that nothing happened .

{Pony’s read}

” Where do I see myself in five years . Basically, I just see us all getting jobs and moving to a desert place in Cyprus and find this tent and there’s like a bunch of Greek people in there and we’ll be like making and eating Koupes all day long, that’s where I see myself in five years, it may sound weird and not very straight forward, but I don’t give a damn ” .

{Meanwhile, Johnny and Dallas are sitting down in the night club, having their drinks, Steve is playing some music on the DJ’s set, he is playing some slow paced classical music, there are couples doing some slow romantic dancing, Pony is dancing with someone as well, Johnny has had enough with the classic music, he gets up from his chair}

Johnny} Booo, you boring Turds, hold on, I’ll be back in a sec, get a load of this .

Dallas} Yo Johnny, what are you doing, man ?.

Johnny} You’ll see . { Then he goes over to the dj set, picks up a microphone and starts singing into it} ” would you like to have fun ?, fun fun fun, would you want to have fun ?, laugh laugh .

{The person sitting next to Dallas, being just speechless and confused, including all the couples who are dancing, they just stopped and froze, once they saw the sight of Johnny}

Dallas} See, that’s my friend, that is, he’s a world wide famous, professional singer, people go bat shit crazy for him, if you need someone who can get a professional musician at your wedding party, I’m your man .

Person} Hm, no thank you, I don’t think I would want to get married any time sooner, I don’t think he would be good for the event, definetely not at my cousin’s wedding, with him looking like that, he looks like a wedding singer on crack .

{Johnny starts jumping everywhere} ” Everybody clap your hands, everybody, everybody clap your hands, everybody clap your hands, everybody, everybody clap your hands, everybody dancing now, huhhhhhhh ” .

{Dallas starts dancing whilst sitting on his chair, tries to support him, looks at him and just face palms, cause he just knows that it’s terrible but he doesn’t want to hurt his feelings}

Dallas} Oh god . { Face palms}

 

{ Meanwhile, Reggie goes to the washroom, when he’s finished, he walks back into the main room and sees Steve and Dallas going crazy, they jump everywhere {and doing break dancing}

Reggie} What is thish ?.

{Meanwhile, the girl is standing in the room with Pony}

{Pony offers a pack of peanuts}

Ponyboy} here, do you want some ?.

The girl} No I’m ok .

Ponyboy} No here look, take some, lovely peanut dust, it’s gourmet, fresh from the bar . { Pushes it in her face}

The girl} No I don’t want fucking peanut dust, peanut dust, hahaha, you knob . { throws it at him, the peanuts are all over his top}

Ponyboy} What the hell ?.

The girl} It was going so well, what were you thinking ?, honestly ?. { She leaves the room, shuts the door behind her in a right mood}

{Pony is confused, he stands there, feeling hurt}

Ponyboy} Val !!!, Val !!!, Noooooooooooo, why ?. { Kneels on the floor with his arms up}

{A few minutes later, Valerie is sitting down on a step and she is upset, then Pony comes and sees her, he stands there}

Ponyboy} What happened, Valerie, we were doing so well, I thought we had something, what, I don’t know what happened, Valerie, we said that we were gonna be together forever, I don’t understand, Valerie, what did I do, what, did I say something, what, I don’t know why you are like this . I don’t understand { Tip toes and starts gearing up}, I don’t understand . { Starts dancing, does like a shimmy with her arms stretched out} ” I don’t understand, I don’t understand, bitch, don’t understand . { He carries on, clearly, Valerie isn’t answering back, she’s just looking the other way} { She walks off, leaving him behind}

Valerie} Right, enjoy your dance, yeah, I’m gonna head off . { She just walks off}

Ponyboy} What, where the hell are you going ?, this is just shit . Turn off the cameras, if you put this on tv, I will kill you guys . { Tries to snatch the cameras off of the directors}

{Valerie’s read}

” I’m so confused, I don’t even know who this guy is, who is he, all I know is that he just walked up to me and started dancing, but I still don’t know who he is, I asked for his name, he said that his name was Roberto Blanco, that’s probably not even his real name, who the hell even is that, I’m confused, heh, I need help. honestly, if he’s still with me after this, I don’t know what I would do, the man is crazy, he’s cute in all but, he’s fucking crazy, there’s only one thing I need to say, I dump his ass. That may seem harsh, but that’s how things are . I swear to god, if we become boyfriend and girlfriend, a couple, then I’m gonna lose my shit . He’s always gonna dressing up, making me look like a wizard . Jesus Christ, seriously, just thinking about it makes me feel physically sick. I’m just trying not to think about it, I’m gonna try and think about happy thoughts, I’m in my happy place, I’m just gonna think of cute puppies, thinking about ice cream, hm, I’m thinking of adopting a dog, next week, I think I’m gonna get a pomeranian, oh it’s no use, I just keep thinking of that guy, another one bites the dust ” .

{Next scene, Pony is sitting down, sulking because Valerie dumped him, Dallas comes to see him and sits next to him}

 

Dallas} Hey man, are you alright ?, you were doing so well, what happened ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, man, she, she just left me, like she always would with any man, then she will waddle off to the sea with the rest of the fish .

Dallas} hey man, let me tell you something. alright, relationships are a two way street, you can end up having it good but also, you can end up having it not so good, but if the girl leaves you, don’t take it out on yourself, don’t be too harsh on yourself, cause you did nothing wrong .

Ponyboy} It is what it is, I’m never gonna be good with relationships, I’m never gonna get married, I’m never gonna be able to have kids, no girl is gonna like me, because surprise surprise, there’s a David Hasselhoff in the room .

Dallas} Look man, I’m sure that she liked you, why did she make the effort to be with you, then ?, if she didn’t like you, then she would of just wandered off to find someone else, they don’t see the potential in you, you are a smart, handsome guy, girls don’t deserve a man like you, cause they will be wallowing in self pity and misery, being like ” Oh, I can’t have him, he’s too perfect ” right, so don’t take it out on yourself, you just gotta show them that you don’t care and they’ll all just come running to you, just you wait until they find out that you are single, por, they’ll be like whirlwind . You’re not in love with this girl, are you ?.

Ponyboy} No no no, absolutely not, I mean, yeah I am, but it’s nothing physical .

Dallas} Oh good good, cause she’s only gonna break your heart and you’re too young for that shit .

{Ponyboy looks at him and smiles}

Dallas} Yeah, but there’s plenty of fish in the sea, life doesn’t just revolve around one girl, look man, how do you think I did it, then ?, I went through thousands of tough, close nit relationships, none of then went the way I thought it would, you know, once, I met a girl called Nancy, she was beautiful and very kind but it was a massive poison arrow to the heart cause, once I met her I thought to myself ” Ah great, she’s mine, no other guy can worm his way into our life ” but I was wrong, cause the moment we got engaged, she left me, robbed me clean and went to go find another man, I was heartbroken but, I learned that experience is the best teacher . Cause you know when you’re making toast, and you accidently burn your hand on the hob, you know not to do it again, and now I don’t do that anymore, but it’s the same with women, I don’t go out dating women anymore cause some of them are crazy, not all of them but some, so I just say single, I just have guy nights with the boys, at least they don’t go off, chasing after people, at least, I think they don’t .

Ponyboy} Where is Nancy now ?, is she still married to another man ?.

Dallas} Yeah, god knows what she’s doing now, she’s like the first wallow of spring, she’s always chasing after those fucking men, just like how cats run after mice, they run once, then you don’t know where the hell she’s gone, but I don’t care anymore, I don’t have time, waiting for little miss Juliet to come running back and give me a kiss, man’s busy, man’s got his own life to live, I can’t just go running after chicks, I’ve got bigger fish to fry .

Ponyboy} Do you think I have another chance with someone ?.

Dallas} Of course you do, a 100 %, you never know on what might happen, you know, you might meet some girl at a drive in or something, they’re all waiting to get picked up by a guy like you . Anyway, don’t be upset that she left you, it’s her fault that she didn’t see your real potential, anyway, what do you see in that Valerie Weekmans, what you guys see in her, I’ll never know . But, everything’s be fine, you know why, cause we’re gonna have some fun, tomorrow is another day, I wonder what’s next on the horizon for you . Yeah of course, come on, let’s go . { Dallas puts his arm on his shoulder and walks with him}

{Next scene, Pony is inside the night club with Steve}

Ponyboy} So yeah, she just left me, went to go find some other guy, it was like, stab hm the heart, poke the heart, ruin my life .

Steve} Oh that’s terrible, what a crooked thing to do .

{Reggie walks up to him and talks}

Reggie} Oh my god, I heard about what happened to you, it was terrible, aw, poor thing . { Hugs him}

Johnny} He’s not a thing .

Reggie} Don’t worry, Pony, there’s lots more to come, there’s plenty of fish in the sea .

Two Bit} Yeah, there’s plenty of sea in the fish, wait no, you’re getting me confused now, it’s there’s plenty of fish in the sea, plenty of sea in fish, gyghhgyguhggu, aff forget it .

Ponyboy} Yeah it’s fine anyway, it’s not she said goodbye or anything, so, look, I’m gonna go and get some fresh air, see you guys later .

 

 

{Meanwhile, Pony is sitting on a brick wall, talking absolute nonsense, cause he’s still drunk, plus, he is heartbroken}

Ponyboy} Roses are red, violets are blue, why did you leave me Karen, what, what did I do ? Oh wait no, her name isn’t Karen, her name is Valerie, hah hah, I am a giddy goat, Karen, hah hah, arghhh god. Hello, whatchu looking at ?, hahaha, don’t mind me, just sitting here, man, is that George Clooney, oh wait, no that’s a tree, hahaha, should of gone to Specsavers, hahaha, man, oh wait, that’s the owner of the bakery across the road, hellooooo, you still selling those things that look like balloons, what the hell am I talking about . Oh heyyyyy, it’s Mr Henderson, hiiiiiiiiii, what are you doing here at nine PM, why are you wearing that coat, you look like a snickers bar, Dallas says you’re an absolute bozo, he says you can’t even drive, you end up in the emergency vehicle lane . { Starts waving} Hiiiiiii, who am I waving too ?. I don’t know anyone here. { Starts singing} Celebrate good times, come on, yeahhhhh , Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to you . { Then suddenly, Johnny finds Pony}

Johnny} What are you doing singing Kool And The Gang, all of these people are looking at you like you’re crazy, why are you singing happy birthday, no one’s celebrating their birthday today, who are you talking to ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, man, I’m going through a phase, where are the boys, are they still in the night club ?.

Johnny} Yeah, they’re still in the night club, Reggie’s looking for you, we need to go back to the hotel, it’s getting dark outside .

Ponyboy} Oh alright, I’ll come now, but if Reggie asks where I was, just tell him that I was getting some air .

Johnny} Ok . { Then he walks off}

{Few minutes later, everyone’s sitting down, including the boys, just minding their own business. Then suddenly, some guy breaks in, he is crazy and possibly a meth head, but he’s looking for trouble}

Person} Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, who’s ready to fucking get wasted ?. { He puts his arms up}

Johnny} Aw shit, here we go again .

{Some manager walks up to the guy and tries to kick him out}

Manager} Excuse me, sir, I will not tolerate this kind of attitude in my night club .

{Person blows a rasberry}

Person} Kiss my sweaty ass, you fat turd .

Manager} Excuse me ?, what did you say to me ?.

Person} Listen, old man, you can’t be bossing me around, I can do what I want around here, go back home and look after your grand kids, grandfather .

{Manager starts getting angry}

Manager} Get out of the night club, man . { Points at the door}

Person} Me ?, get out of the night club, why don’t you get out ?.

Manager} It’s my night club, I won’t tolerate this kind of attitude in here, you’re just gonna have to get out, before I call the cops .

Person} Ohhhh, ok old man, if you want me to get outta here, you’re gonna have to try me . { He splashes alchohol all over the manager}

{Everyone hollows}

Dallas} Ohhhhhh, it’s going down, is it just me or is it getting spicy in here ?.

Johnny} What the hell is going on ?.

Reggie} I don’t know, but just stay with me, things can get a little messy .

Manager} Didn’t you hear me, sir, I said ” Get out of my night club ” at this instant .

{Person pulls out a gun and points it against the manager’s head}

Manager} Sir, may I ask you to put the gun away, otherwise no one get’s hurt .

Person} Make me .

Dallas} holy shit, he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun .

Manager} Wait, one minute, you’re not gonna actually shoot me, are you ?.

{Person pulls the trigger and shoots the manager, the manager collapses on the floor}

{ Everyone in the night club is shocked, there is a girl crying, everyone is uncomfortable} { Steve leans behind a wall}

Steve} Ohhhhhh, I smell a rumble . { Shouts}

Dallas} It’s my time to shine . { Everyone lets loose, starts running everywhere}

{It all goes haywire, a fight breaks out, everyone is punching each other, people are getting kicked and pushed over tables, tables are getting smashed and knocked over, there is a person who hits someone over the head with a wine bottle, all hell breaks loose, everyone is getting involved, including the boys}

{Meanwhile, Dally is having a fight with a person, Dallas is punching him, the guy makes an attempt to punch him but Dallas ends up punching him and the guy falls unconcious}

Dallas} Yeah heh heh yeh, everybody Wang Chung tonight, whooooooo . { Puts his hand up and does a fist bump}

{The bar fight carries on, the place is all smashed up, chairs are broken, tables are demolished, everyone is thirsty for a fight, the fight carries on going for another few minutes}

{Meanwhile, Two Bit is beating someone up as well, he is holding an accordian, he plays a few notes whilst having the fight, he suddenly makes a hole in it and uses it to punch the guy in the face, the guy flies backwards}

Two Bit} Hahaha, funny, arghhhhhhh . { Walks off}

{Meanwhile, Pony is hanging around in another part of the night club, talking to some girl, unaware of the fight}

Ponyboy} Yeah, I liked the first album . { Then suddenly, the mad person breaks into the room and shouts}

Person} Yeahhhhhhhhhhh . { Has his arms up in the air}

{Scares Pony}

Ponyboy} Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh . Go go go go, get out of the way, get out of the way . { Runs out} ” Here look, take this, fifty bucks, spend it well, see ya ” { Gives the girl some money, then he just runs off}

Girl} Um, are you sure you want me to have it ?. Um, Pony ? . { Realizes that he already left}

{Pony turns around}

Ponyboy} Just use it for whatever reason you like, now I have to go, this place is a hazard . { Then he runs outside}

{A few minutes later, the bar fight stopped, The security guards are taking the guy away and arresting him}

Person} Oh man, you got me, you win .

Cheif Security guard} Yeah alright, let’s just get in the van, will you, that’s it, let’s just keep going . { Pulling him away}

Other security guard} Alright cheif, what’s next on the agenda ?, are we done for today ?.

Cheif Security guard} Yeah, I suppose so, let’s just get this fella in the vehicle . { Opens the door of the van and makes the suspect get in} ” There we go, that’s it, get in the van .

Person} Oh not the van, oh noooo, not again .

Cheif security guard} Yeah that’s right, the van again, we’ll take you to the station, lock you in a cell and keep you in there until you can get out, but for the time being, we’ve got you, safe and sound . You know what they say, ” You do the crime, you do the time ” . And guess what, you’ve done the crime, now you gotta do the time, that’s just how things are around here, you just gotta respect policy .

{Meanwhile, the night club owner is pulled away by medics and is getting admitted to a hospital, is now in an emergency ambulance}

{Then it shows the boys standing there, doing high fives}

Dallas} Ladies and gentlemen, we got em .

Ponyboy} Yeah heh, that’s how we do it around here, you don’t mess around .

Two Bit} That was some crazy shit .

Reggie} Right, is everyone ok, none of you got seriously injured, did you ?.

Johnny} Yeah no, we’re ok, just a few bruises and black eyes, could of been worse .

Reggie} Oh right, well I’m glad about that . But if anyone needs a bandaid or a bandage, the first aid’s in the RV .

Ponyboy} Yeah no, we should be fine, there’s no time for that bullshit . The only person you should be worrying about, is the owner, he’s the one who had the most damage . That went 0 to 100 real quick .

Steve} Oh, tell me about it, that went serious very quickly .

Reggie} You know what, guys, I think we should start packing up outside, they’re planning on closing this place in half an hour, everyone’s pretty much gone home, I can’t say I ain’t surprised, that place was a nut house .

{Next scene, they start packing up all their belongings and making sure that they are all ready to head back}

Dallas} Wow, Jesus Christ, that was something else, that made my day, that did, that was literally the cherry on the top .

Johnny} Yeah, but whatever that was, I did not like it. I’m not going back to that night club ever again, not in a million years, nah .

Steve} Good thing we didn’t get killed in there . At least they caught that guy, I mean, have you seen him, man, let me tell you something, that guy was crazy, I don’t know what he was on, Marijuana, canabis, hasheesh, no clue .

Two Bit} Yeah, well thank god we don’t have to go in that place anymore, I swear to god, that place was not a night club, I’m telling you .

 

Reggie} Alright everybody, have you got all your stuff, I’m asking you this now, cause I don’t want you leaving anything behind, Pony, don’t even get me started on you, you were drunk so there’s a possibility that you will forget one of your belongings at the night club, like it will probably be something small, like your mobile phone or something .

Ponyboy} Yeah, don’t worry about it, I have my phone right here, I’m not gonna leave it here, I am very responsible with my belongings, I learned my lesson when I was ten, now I know what to do .

Johnny} Right ok, I think we should start heading back, I’m exausted, I wanna get an early start .

Reggie} Yeah, we all need an early start, cause tomorrow, we’re going to the drive in .

Dallas} Oooohhh, what movie are we gonna watch, Top Gun, Grease, Star Wars, The Wonderers, The Warriors, what are we gonna watch ?.

Reggie} Well, it’s none of the following, but um, we’re gonna see Blood  sport .

Dallas gasps} Oh my god, yess, I love Blood Sport, this is gonna be great .

Johnny} Wait, what is that, what is Blood Sport ?.

Reggie} Oh do you know what, never mind, I’ll tell you about tomorrow morning before we go to the drive in, it’s gonna be great, you guys will love it .

Dallas} Alrighty then, ok, can we go back to the hotel now, I think they’re planning on closing the night club now, we better go before it shuts, let’s go guys .

{A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the hotel} { The next morning, everybody was awake and they were getting ready to go to the drive in}

{ Johnny and Pony were having a chat about movies}

Johnny} Yo, I love movies, actually, talking about movies, the night before last night, I saw Dallas watching this weird movie in his room, I had no idea what the movie was, there was no story or plotline, but there was this woman just going crazy whilst holding a gun in her hand, she was like pointing it at these two guys who were lying on this bed, god knows what it was, it’s like on of those movies where it just goes straight onto a DVD and not in theatres .

Ponyboy} Yeah, he’s always watching weird shit, like chick flicks and stuff like that, but like none of them make sense, I wish I had the audacity to understand what’s going on in them, cause all you see is a weird ass dude running in a field without no explanation what so ever, just wish I could understand, you know, you have the normal and great movies out there, you have all the classics, you have Grease, you have Back To The Future, you have The Karate Kid, then you have that one with the phycho chick with the gun, like, what the hell ?. I’m so glad that you can’t get it here in America, otherwise, I’d run a mile, I just wouldn’t be going on movie websites .

Johnny} Oh yeah, those things, yeah, they actually said something about that on the news, they said that there’s a big problem with the piracy, they have all these like piracy warning commercials before you watch a movie, that’s the problem with those sorts of websites . Renting movies on those websites is a pain in the ass to the government, apparently, I don’t know why, but it just is, why does everything have to be so hard nowadays, you know, back in the day, if you wanted to watch a movie, you go to the movie theatre, or you can get the DVD and put it in a VHS or a VCR type of thing, you know, now it’s just complicated with all of these internet hackers and they all know how to hack into someone’s electronic device, it’s mental . But yeah, today will be good, cause we’re gonna watch a movie together as a group, so yeah, what can go wrong, you can’t go wrong, can you ?.

Ponyboy} No yeah, you definetely can’t go wrong, that’s for sure, it’ll be good anyway, cause like, it will just be like the good old days, watching a movie with good friends, getting goosebumps cause of the sound of the movie, the roar of the speakers, the smell of popcorn and soda, hm, happy days .

{Johnny’s read}

” So yeah, today, we’re gonna go to to the drive in to watch a movie, so apparently, Reggie booked six tickets to go and see Blood Sport, which will be sick, I have no idea what the movie is, I’ve never seen it before, I just don’t watch movies that much, so I’ve got a lot to catch up on, but from the sound of it, it sounds sick. Reggie is old school, he loves everything old, he barely watches any new movies or shows, it’s always stuff from the past, but I can’t blame him, you know, I like old stuff more, just because it was more simple, now it’s just political correctness, they’re just shoving agenda down our throats, but you know, I don’t really care, if Reggie likes it, then that’s cool, it’s nothing to do with me ” .

{Meanwhile, Steve is sitting down, reading a newspaper}

Steve} Hey Dally, have you heard of this woman in the newspaper, her name is Jolene .

Dallas} Who the hell is Jolene ?.

Steve} Oh it’s this woman in the newspaper, there’s this article about her, so basically, she faked her own death to hide from her husband, who appeared to be a hit man, so she did her makeup to make it look like she was dead, like oh my god, this is unreal .

Dallas} Wow ok, that’s kind of stupid though, how do you find these articles, where do you look to find them ?.

Steve} I don’t know, man, there are hundreds of these news stories in here, there’s also another one where this guy invented this potion where it can turn into a dog .

Dallas} But that’s impossible, how can you turn into a dog, all of these people are definetely on something, that’s for sure, these people are sick . But the thing I wanna know, is how do these things make their way into the newspapers, they’re not even real important news stories, how about we get some proper news for once, like the media getting sued for non appropriate actions, cause they’re biased as hell, I’d like to watch them get thrashed, they’ve been at it for too long, they need to get the justice they deserve, not a high pay check . What a load of garbage, honestly, I’ve had enough, I’m gonna go and do my hair, see you in a jiff . { Then he leaves the room}

{Meanwhile, Reggie is getting ready and so is the rest of the group}

{Reggie’s read}

” So yeah, today I’m taking the boys to the drive in, which I hope that they will love it, hopefully today will be more chilled, since we sort of went a  little crazy last night, but not really with me but with the boys, And of course with what happened to Pony, I basically found out that he insulted Mr Henderson, which was quite bad but I had a conversation with him and he apologized and hopefully, he learned from his mistakes, but I’ll give him a chance because he was drunk and he didn’t know where he was, so I’ll let him off on this one. But yeah, today will be good, it will definetely bring me back, going to the drive in was basically my childhood, I always used to go with a bunch friends and we used to have a blast, so I had my time, now it’s their time to experience this and I really hope they enjoy it, and if they don’t, I’m fuming, no just kidding, but um, it’s up to them if they enjoy it or not, but we’ll definetely make this a field trip to remember ” .

{Act 7, they are at the drive in, there were quite a few cars and vehicles, and right in front of them, was a large screen, they sit down on a set of chairs}

Ponyboy} Oh wow, this place is huge, I wasn’t expecting for it to be this crowded .

Reggie} Yeah, it’s very busy, but you know what they say ” The more people, the better ” that’s how you know that the owners aren’t getting out of business, which is good, cause they need to put food on the table .

Two Bit} Wow, this is sick, I just wanna jump through the screen, like ” Rahhhhhh ” you know what I’m saying like ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah no, don’t do that .

Dallas} Yeah, like you’d actually be a crazy person and jump through the tv screen, Are you sure about that ?.

Two Bit} Well no, but I can if I want to .

{Pony’s read}

” I like going to drive inns, who doesn’t love watching movies for free, you can just come with your car and you don’t have to pay, it’s amazing, it’s so advanced now, it’s crazy how things have changed. But yeah, I love going to the drive in, I used to go with Two Bit, see this is the thing that pisses me off slightly, right so, every time I go to the drive in, I end up watching the movie on my own, cause meanwhile, Two is in another bit of the drive in, watching something completely different . Like for an example, one time, me and Two Bit went to go and see Big Wednesday in the drive in, then it was a hassle, because then I find out that Two Bit is in another part of the drive in, watching Lady and The Tramp, and I had to watch the film on my own, I was furious that day, I just didn’t want to bring him with me, cause the same thing always happens, but fingers crossed that it doesn’t happen this time ” .

Two Bit} I swear, this place is like a alien space craft, I can feel myself getting sucked into it, it’s phenominal .

Ponyboy} Well, that’s just creepy .

Reggie} It’s quite good actually, cause um, the drive inn’s not actually that far from where the hotel is, so we can find our way back easily, But oh wow, this brings me back .

Johnny} What, you used to come here ?.

Reggie} You’re damn right I did, I used to come here in the 80s, I was about twenty two, but wow, this place has changed, it’s not like how I imagined it, it just looked like a dump, now it’s all flash and new .

Johnny} But it’s probably better like this, though, cause like, it’ll just be depressing, you want the place to be comfy and have a nice atmosphere whilst you’re watching the movie .

Reggie} Yeah that’s true, it definetely has a big impact .

Ponyboy} Man, this will be sick, I wonder what the movie will be about, remember, you were gonna tell us in the morning, but you never really got round to doing it .

Reggie} Oh yeah, I forgot, but you might as well just watch and see, cause I’m just gonna spoil it for you .

Ponyboy} Yeah I know, but what if the movie was about a person that works in the sewers, then I’m not gonna sit here for two hours .

Reggie} But it’s not about a person who works in the sewers, it’s something completely different .  Jesus Christ, your brain is still fried .

Dallas} Oh for god sake, let’s just watch the movie and shut up .

{ In front of the boys, sitting there, were two girls, one named Cherry and the other was called Ophelia}

Ophelia} Are you sure you wanna do this ?.

Cherry} I came here to see a movie and I’m gonna see a movie, simple as that, you know, why else would it be called a drive in ?, you come to watch a movie, don’t you .

Dallas} Oh look, who’s that ?, do my eyes decieve me or is that a girl I’m sitting behind, who is this girl ?.

Ponyboy} I have no idea .

Steve} Wait a minute, is that Cherry ?.

Johnny} Who the hell is Cherry ?.

Steve} Oh what, you don’t know her, ok well, she used to live down Harlem, she had a house down there, I had a friend who used to be with her, but sadily, they broke up, they looked good together though, it’s a shame, really, but, that’s life, a relationship ends, another one starts, my friend was so heartbroken about the breakup, he hasn’t been the same ever since . Her real name is Sherri though, just putting that out there . I don’t want the grammar police coming after me .

Johnny} Why did they break up ?.

Steve} Oh it was because, he took her to a diner, the waiter got the order wrong and she ended beating him up, of course you know, I never got to hear the rest of it, it’s better that it stays that way, to be honest .

Johnny} Oh ok, wow, that’s some heavy shit, man .

Dallas} Right, well where’s Meg and she’s hot .

Johnny} Meg ?, heh .

Reggie} Oh for god sake . { Makes a fed up face}

{Ponyboy starts getting nervous, cause Cherry is looking at him} Heh heh heh hoh hoh, oh god, she’s looking at me, she’s looking at me, heh . { Covers his face and looks the other way}

{Johnny hovers behind him and tries to get comfortable on his chair} { Scares Pony whilst doing it}

Ponyboy screams} Ahhhhhhhhhh, oh shit, sorry Johnny, I totally forgot you were sitting here .

{Johnny looks confused}

{Two Bit silently giggles in the back}

{ Dallas puts his feet up on her chair}

Ponyboy} Doh, what are you doing, Dallas, for god sake .

Reggie} God knows .

Cherry} What the hell are you doing, get your feet off my chair or I make you fly off the chair myself .

Dallas} Ohhhh, you’re a fiesty one, aren’t ya ?, but I like that, I like that .

Cherry} Shuttttttttttttttt . { Turns around} Jesus Christ, you take me to this place to see this idiot ?.

Ophelia} Well I didn’t know he was gonna be here, did I ?.

Cherry} Well let’s just speed this shit up, this guy’s breathing on my neck, his breath stinks of gas .

Dallas} Yeah, no shit, Ms Ariel .

{Dallas tries to put his feet up on her chair again}

{ The movie starts, they realized that they are watching the wrong movie, they came to see Blood Sport, but instead, they came to see something else, they came to see America America instead} {The movie plays in the back round} ” Da da da da, Amerigue Amerigui ” .

Dallas} What is this shit ?.

Johnny} How the hell do I know ?.

Reggie} What is this, this isn’t Blood sport, something fishy is going on .

Ponyboy} Why the hell are we watching a movie about people on a ship, talking no one what’s so ever, is that what Blood Sport is, is it a movie about people on a ship ?.

Dallas} No it’s not, oh my god, you are so dumb, you are really dumb, for real .

Steve} What, were you drunk when you booked the tickets ?.

Reggie} No I wasn’t, I booked tickets to go and see Blood sport, not this freaking movie with people on a ship, shouting their lungs out, I want a refund, I really do and I want it now .

Two Bit} I don’t really care cause I like these sorts of movies, so to you it might be strange, but to me it isn’t .

Ponyboy} Good to know .

Johnny} You know what, I’m gonna go and get a coke, see you guys in a bit . { Then he leaves}

Ponyboy} Hey Johnny, get me one as well, yeah ?.

{ Dallas still acts silly, he doesn’t give up with anything, even though Cherry clearly shows the body language, saying that she’s not comfortable but he carries on}

Cherry} Oh for crying out, can you just pull this guy away, we’re just going round in circles here, Ophelia, do something ?.

Ophelia} What the hell am I supposed to do, kidnap him in the boot of my car, hah, you wish .

{Dallas starts touching her}

Two Bit} Hahaha, so you have chosen death .

Dallas} What ?.

Two Bit} Oh nothing, you wouldn’t get it .

Dallas} Um no, maybe I would get it, just tell me before this crazy chick busts my lip open .

Two Bit} Right ok, so it results in you assaulting the girl, cause when you touch her, she touches you . You don’t get it, do you ?.

Dallas} Right, ” So You have chosen death ”. Are you kidding me, that’s like the most oldest, shittiest joke in the book, you couldn’t think of anything better ?.

Two Bit} Well no, I could choose something that is quite controversial, I don’t think you’d wanna hear that .

Johnny} Look man, just leave her alone, what the hell are you doing, winking at her ?.

Ponyboy} No it was just a blink wink. What’s wrong with that ?, I’m not allowed to blink, bang out of order .

Steve} What, that’s a girl ?, I thought that was a mannequin doll .

Johnny} Get up, get up, get up, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise rise, you better not lay a hand on her, otherwise, it’s ending up in the garbage .

Ponyboy} Imma just go . See ya on Monday. { Tries to leave but Johnny stops him}

Johnny} Where the hell do you think you’re going ?, you’re dragging the whole place down, what do you think you’re doing, this isn’t the yellow brick road, idiot, sit back down .

Cherry} Look, just call the cops or something, I haven’t got time for this .

Dallas} Oh ok, you’re gonna call the feds, ohhhhh, I’m scared, what am I gonna do, Pony, huh, I’m gonna shit myself .

Cherry} Look, if you just shut up, we won’t cause any harm, cause obviously you’re asking for it, acting like this . You’re acting like an imposter .

Dallas} What, how am I supposed to act, what, am I supposed to be a lemon and not talk to anyone, well ok, you’re telling me to stop, thanks for the advice, you’re a real lady, that’s for sure .

Cherry} Oh ok, well look, I’ve got more advice for you, ” Get lost ” .

Dallas} Owwww, oh ok cool, what so all men are rapists now, oh ok, I could see that this crazy chick is a feminazi, cause that’s what it is these days, you just want to kill all men, don’t you ?.

Cherry} No I don’t, I believe in a future for equal rights between men and women, there’s nothing wrong with that .

Dallas} Yeah well, you think you believe in that but you don’t, it’s all emotion not logic .

Ponyboy} Look, man, we don’t have to go down this path, not today anyway, just give her a chance, we’re all entitled to our own opinions, that’s what free speech is for, isn’t it ?.

Dallas} Yeah free speech, but that’s being taken away from us, soon, we won’t even be allowed to say anything about the president, just give us a few more years and we’ll see change, slowly slowly, America is turning into North Korea, with the new laws and the systems, and hah, we do not want that, do we ?.

Cherry} Yeah well, I’m just saying that I believe in equality, that’s all .

Dallas} Yeah well, you want equality, you want real equality, why don’t you see what they are doing, they are splitting up different genders cause they assume that women and young girls are not safe enough to walk by themselves at night, I mean wow, that’s some real equality. I don’t even know what equality is anymore, back in the day, feminism meant equal rights for everyone, no matter what gender and race and now it’s completely changed, now it just means women hating on men, yeah of course domestic violence happened back and the day and it still does and it’s bad, but what if the tables turned, what if it shows a woman abusing a man, then in that case, huh, when it happens to a woman, everyone preaches and slams the situation, but when a man gets attacked by a woman, then the real victim is the man and no one bats an eye, so you want equality, you have it .

Cherry} Yeah well, I’m sorry but, I’m not saying all men but you did it to me, you were doing something and I don’t feel comfortable so I have to speak up, you’re a really sweet young man, but if a guy is gonna treat me like that and smash me left right and center, then I’m sorry but, I won’t tolerate this behavior, me and my friend came here to see a movie and we’re gonna see a movie, if you don’t leave us alone, I’m afraid that we’re gonna have to have a negotiation, do you understand me ?.

Dallas} Yes of course I understand, I can’t believe that I’m even telling you this, I feel like some mad drama teacher but if we’re gonna go down that route, then you’re in trouble.  Hey and before I go, I got a few words for you, the witch doesn’t come in a cloak and a witch’s hat, she wears a white plaid dress and drives a corvette . Now mind you, I gotta go cause I know when I’m wanted . { Then he leaves} A few minutes later, he comes back with some coca cola}

{ Then Johnny comes back with a coke for himself but didn’t get one for Pony}

{ Dallas sits down on his chair}

Dallas} Oh sorry, do you want some ?.

Cherry} No .

Dallas} Ok fair enough, I got a joke for you, I made this joke up, a minute ago, it’s so funny . Ok so, ” Don’t drink the coca cola, yayeeet ” . { Says in a deep voice}

{Everyone stares at him}

Ponyboy} Dallas, what the hell ?.

Dallas} Don’t you get it, ok don’t worry I’ll try again .

Johnny} Oh please don’t .

Dallas} You can drink the coke if you want to sweeten up your life a little bit, cause get it, it’s got sugar in it, hahaha, Coca Colaaaaaaaaaaaaa, whoooo, whoooo . { As he waves the coke in the air, then he falls off the chair}

{ Everyone starts laughing, including Cherry and Ophelia}

Dallas} And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you do it . ah shit, my T shirt is soaking wet . Not doing that again in a hurry .

Ponyboy} Hahaha, sweeter, bolder, better . { this part is from the coca cola commercial, he also starts singing} ” Taste the feeling ” .

Dallas} Jesus Christ .

Cherry} Yeah alright, don’t get too carried away, otherwise I’ll cut you .

Dallas} Oh ok, try me .

Cherry} Ok I will . { Ophelia gets Cherry a coke and Cherry throws it at him}

{ Everyone looks shocked}

Two Bit} Hahaha, what is this, shower ?.

Ponyboy} Hahaha, ge ge get us out, get us, get me out . { Starts laughing}

Steve} Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause he’s raping everyone out here . { Reference to the meme or the news report}

Johnny} Oh god, I think I just died inside, is this what it feels like to be awkward ?.

Ponyboy} Yes it is, Johnny, yes it is .

{Pony’s read}

” Jesus Christ, what a down grade, right, so if you are not sure on what’s going on, I can explain, right so, basically, Reggie booked tickets to come on see Blood sport at the drive in and somehow, we came to watch this movie about pirates or some shit, I can’t remember the name of the movie, I think it was Gasboat, but why’s it called that though, what the hell has Gasboat have to do with America, I have no clue, the movie indistury has completely lost it, but I guess it was an old movie and I definetely can’t compare it to movie industry that we have now, cause you just get shit like The Suicide Squad and stuff, but if you make a movie about people on a ship, then I guess people have lost their mind, they’ve completely lost touch with reality, yeah, but watching a movie that includes a boat with people on it, waving at the wind is fun for most people so . So the movie is not so good, but there’s only one thing keeping me occupied and that is, Dally and Cherry’s cat fight, keep telling him to stop but he just carries on, like, god help him, honestly like ” .

Ponyboy} Yeah, I’m so sorry about him, he just keeps doing stuff like this, you can never put him next to a girl cause then he’ll always end up in this situation, I apologize .

Cherry} Yeah no, it’s cool, don’t worry about it, good thing I learned karate, thank god for that, am I right ?. I am an ameteur figter, I have a black belt in taikwondo, I know all the basics .

Ponyboy} No, shut up ?, you’re a black belt in Taikwondo ?, you’re joking ?.

Cherry} No no, I ain’t joking, I am a black belt, I used to take classes, that’s where I met Ophelia, we all know some form of Martial Arts, I can show you if you’d like ?, if so,  I’ll go ahead and demonstrate .

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, are you kidding me, of course I wanna see it, I love this sort of shit, I have a brother who is obsessed with kung fu, he practices day and night, but he keeps failing . You need to teach me a few things, I beg you .

Cherry} You betcha, ok so, I’ll demonstate a move and you just stand there and watch me, just stand back, just in case I might accidently kick you in the face .

Ponyboy} Oh god ok, I’m kind of scared now, after this, my friend won’t lay a hand on you, he would be shaking in his boots .

Cherry} Right ok so, I’ll show you, on the count of ten, I may lift up my leg and make an attempt to do a high kick, it takes quite a long time to get it right, but that’s what lessons are for, you need practice . Ok here we go, 1 3587 . { Does a high kick}

{Pony is shocked}

Ponyboy} Woah, wow that was something else, what, how did your foot go up that high ?.

Cherry} I told you, didn’t I, practice .

Ponyboy} I think I love you .

Cherry} Don’t we all .

Ponyboy} That is so cool, I think you’re gonna have to teach me, you can be like my master, you can be like Mr Miyagi .

Cherry} Of course, why not ?, I’ll teach you when we see each other on Monday, we’ll have more time to ourselves . But that was good though, wasn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Jesus, I think I might of shat myself .

Cherry} That’s nice . I’m really good though, I don’t classify myself as a professional, I think I’m alright, to be honest .

Ponyboy} Yeah, you’re more then alright, you almost knocked me out cold .

Cherry} Oh did I, I apologize, you see, that’s why you have to be careful . You must bow to your master, Master, whooo, you see, don’t worry, I got my rage, you know, sometimes, when you’re in a street fight, you have to pretend to have a laugh with your opponent, like this, see, hahaha haha, rahhhhhh, don’t worry, it’s fine, I’ve got you, I’ve got you .

{Ponyboy is looking a bit scared of her}

Cherry} When I say get out, you get out .

Ponyboy} God, Make it stop, make it stop, please, make it stop .

Cherry} And that is the end, I hope you learned a few things, I guess I need to brush up on my Martial Arts skills, it’s been a long time since I was taking Taikwondo classes, I’m a little rusty, but yeah, I guess I’m picking it up again .

Ponyboy} Yeah no shit .

Cherry} I guess I’m keeping it for when I really need to use it .

 

 

 

Ponyboy}  Yeah, best thing, isn’t it ? . Oh, I totally forgot to ask you what your name was, what’s your name ?.

Cherry} My name is Cherry, Cherry Valance and this is my friend, Ophelia .

Ponyboy} Oh hey nice to meet you .

Cherry} Nice to meet you too, so um, what’s your name ?.

Ponyboy} My name is Jeff, I am Jeff .

Johnny looks at him weird} No you’re not .

Ponyboy} Shush .

Johnny} Yeah sorry about that, he clearly doesn’t remember his name, he had too much to drink last night, he’s just finding random names in magazines, excuse him, his name is Ponyboy .

Ponyboy} The hell ?.

Johnny} You’re welcome .

Cherry} Ah, that’s not an original name .

Ponyboy} Oh for god sake, yes it’s in an original name, I was born with it, the nurse in the hospital gave it to me, call it original, that’s the most original as it can get, I’m just happy that I didn’t call myself an Orange or apple or some shit .

Johnny} Pony, calm down, this doesn’t give you a reason to be defensive .

Ponyboy} Oh it doesn’t give me a reason to be defensive, I’ll show you defensive .

{Cherry’s read}

” So yeah, my name is Cherry and my friend is called Ophelia, we came to the drive in to watch a movie, then in the back, there’s this stupid boy who keeps putting his feet up on my chair, now usually, I’m not a very violent person, I tend to control my anger, but when things like this come along, I had no choice but to tell him straight . Then he sat around for a while, I told him that if he didn’t stop, I would call the cops, then he started getting aggressive, I told him to get lost, he told me all of this bullshit about witches, saying that they come in white plaid dresses and drive corvettes, then he moved away, I thought, ” Oh great, he disappeared, way to go ” then suddenly, he freaking comes back with a coke, and I was like, ” God help me, please ” then the next thing I know, he says this joke then he falls off his chair, I had the right to laugh cause I’m not a lunatic. But apart from all of that, I made a new friend, who is soon to be my boyfriend and maybe everything won’t be so bad after all ” .

{Ophelia’s read}

” Hi, my name is Ophelia, I am good friends with Cherry. We do a lot of fun girly things together, like we have sleepovers at each other’s house and we watch movies together as well . We came to the drive in to watch Blood Sport, Cherry said that she wanted to watch it but she never got to, so here we are, doing it now, but the only problem is that we’re not watching Blood Sport, we’re watching this movie about these weird pirates sailing the seven seas, yeah, I have absolutely no clue on what’s going on, but apart from all of that, it’s all good. We met these guys, they seem really cool, one of them looks like Mr Blobby, the other looks like Rick Flair, the other one looks like he just woke up in a cave and I don’t know about the other ones, but there’s more to them then meets the eye ” .

{A few minutes later, Pony and Cherry are walking back together}

Cherry} Who are your friends, they seem really sweet .

Ponyboy} Oh, those guys, oh no, they’re just um, strangers, oh wait, you’re talking about those guys ?.

Cherry} Well yeah, who else would I be talking about ?.

Ponyboy} Oh yeah no sorry, they are my friends, I thought you were talking about those guys who were passing by .

Cherry} No, why would I be talking about them, I’m talking about your friends, you silly Billy .

Ponyboy} Oh yeah sorry, I just got a bit mixed up, they are too many people here .

Cherry} So, what are you doing tonight ?, you got any plans ?.

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, I actually um, I gotta go back to my hotel with my friends, we’re leaving tomorrow morning, so, we better get going .

Cherry} Oh cool, so, wanna go on a date, sometime ?, I mean, you don’t have to, it’s your choice .

Ponyboy} Yeah no, of course, I’d love to go on a date, obviously, I can’t tomorrow, but maybe on Friday, if that’s ok with you, cause you probably have plans, I know you’re a busy girl, you have a life and so do I .

Cherry} No no no, I’m not that busy, I’ll think about it .

Ponyboy} Cool . Ok well, I better get going, just gotta sort out a few things, my friends are waiting for me .

Cherry} Cool .

Ponyboy} Um, you know what, do you want a lift, we can walk together, if you want . G, this place is quite far from the hotel, isn’t it, I just didn’t realize until now .

Cherry} Oh come on, I’m sure it’s not that far away, you’ll find it in no time, you just gotta have patience .

Ponyboy} Yeah I guess you’re right .

Cherry} Oh hey, can I tell you about this audition that I got, I got this acting audition for this movie, it’s quite mainstream .

Ponyboy} Oh did you, nice one, whatever it is, I’m positive that you will ace it, just go for it, embody that role, what is it called, anyway ?.

Cherry} Oh it’s this movie called, First Time, it’s about this couple, their names are Gladys and Michael, and they’re in a long distance relationship and they haven’t seen each other in five years and they are meeting each other for the very first time, it’s quite dramatic and emotional, sort of like a soap opera. I am sort of the director’s Gladys from the get go, so I have to let it all sink in, pick the right emotions, hopefully it turns out perfect, if it doesn’t, then I tried, you know what I mean ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, don’t knock until you try it, you will do it perfectly, I know that you will do it perfectly .

Cherry} Do you think so ?.

Ponyboy} Oh I know so .

{ They smile and hold each other’s hands}

{ Whilst that’s happening, The boys are standing together, secretly watching them make out} { Dallas makes a funny hand gesture, sort of like a fist bump in the air but he also attached another hand onto his other hand to wind Pony up}

Dallas} Hey look, it’s the Lesbian of love, get in on the action, come quick, guys, come quick, get a load of these freaks .

Johnny} No, it’s Lexican of love, get it right .

Dallas} Whatever, hey Steve, come and check this out .

Steve} Ah finally, some proper live action romance, this has been the best thing since About Last Night, ever since that came out in the 80s .

Johnny} No, no one can top About Last Night, but they can top, I think I Love You, I Want You To Be My Wife, that movie was crusty as hell, the woman really thought that she could ask the tree out on a date, I mean, she even purposed to it and she also confessed her love to it, to a tree, man, what is wrong with this world, honestly . But she got offended because the tree spoke to her, apparently .

Steve} Wow, she sounds really deluded, and, what did the tree say that made her feel offended ?.

Johnny} Well, it just gave her a splinter and said ” I don’t want to be your husband, you silly bitch ”, so she just had a mental breakdown in the park, in the park, you know ?.

Steve} Wow ok, I am definetely not going to see that movie .

Dallas} Hey Romeo, give her a kiss, stop being stale .

 

Ponyboy} Can you please just like leave, I’m having a serious moment with my soul mate, this is supposed to be in private .

Dallas} Hey, what are you waiting for, kiss her already, that is the go to move for dating someone, always worked for me .

Steve} Oh come on, even I could do better then that, what is that, two blue jays giving each other a peck on the lips . You’re like Mordacai and Cherry is like Margret, you can do better then that, excuse me, hello .

{ Pony turns around}

Ponyboy} Hey, go away, there’s nothing to see here .

{Two Bit starts laughing, they walk away, letting Pony finish his business with Cherry} { They carry on making out}

{Cherry gives Pony her phone number and then she walks off}

Cherry} Here, here is my number, cause this is definetely not over between you and me, I’d like to see you again sometime, how about Friday ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah sure . Oh shoot, I remember, I have to go to my grandma’s house on Friday, but how about Monday, is that ok ?.

Cherry} Sure, sounds great, where are we gonna go ?.

Ponyboy} Hey you know what, I know a real nice place, down in Harlem, nice little resteraunt, quite flash, doesn’t require to much cash . Oh shit, now I sound a little cliche, don’t I ?.

{Cherry starts laughing}

Cherry} A little, just a little bit, I’ll have to admit .

{Ponyboy smiles}

Ponyboy} Hey, I don’t know, am I cliche, I have no idea, am I cliche ?.

Cherry} Yeah right, you couldn’t be cliche if you tried .

Ponyboy} No, I think I can be cliche, I definetely can .

Steve} Heyy Pony, take the damn girl to Messijoes, the best resteraunt around, they need more people like you .

Two Bit} Yeah, take her to Messijoes, their nachos are fire .

Dallas} Yeah, don’t try and act posh, we know what really suits you, just take her to Taco Bell, for god sake .

Ponyboy} Go away . { Shouts} { Then the boys just walk off}

Ponyboy} Yeah sorry about that, you see my friends, they can be maniacs sometimes, I have to chase after them with a broom stick when things get a bit too much .

Cherry} I understand, I understand, I think it’s great that you guys get along .

Ponyboy} Oh really, heh heh heh, get along, I’m not sure about that .

Cherry} Listen to me, Pony, your friends are the most important thing you have right now, they come hell or high water, make sure you cherish them, your friends really look up to you, you gotta do the same for them, ok ?.

Ponyboy} Ok, you’re right, I’ll, I’ll try, thanks .

Cherry} You can do it, ok, I know you can . { she puts her hands on Pony’s shoulders}

Ponyboy} Ok yeah yeah yeah ok .

Cherry} Just by the looks of things, it seems like you have a pretty meaningful friendship,  it seems like your friends love having you around, they rely on you, don’t take anything from granted, just because I have a really good, trustworthy friend, it doesn’t mean that I am perfect, I had problems too, I just don’t show it much, but I was definetely like you once, but you just gotta be youself and be caring and hopefully, your friends stick with you .

Ponyboy} Oh well, I think we better going, Reggie’s gonna be looking for us, if we don’t go back and return any time soon, he’s gonna assume that we got deported to Canada, hahaha .

Cherry} Hahaha yeah ok cool, are you going anywhere near my house, by any chance ?.

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, the hotel is a few doors down, what street do you live on ?, Deedpack grove, Nora road ?.

Cherry} Uh no, I actually live on Vincent grove, is that closer to where you’re staying ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, come to think of it, it’s on the same street.

Cherry} Oh is it, oh ok good, cause I just, I just really really need a lift, my house is fifty five miles away from the drive in, and I just prefer it if someone was with me .

Ponyboy} Yeah that’s absolutely fine, I guess I’ll just drop you off before we get there .

Cherry} Oh thank you so much, you’re a real life saver, you know that ?.

Ponyboy} Hey don’t mention it . Is your friend walking back with you ?.

Cherry} No, she’s um, she’s taking an uber, she has to get back early, she has to go to her friend’s house for a sleepover tomorrow, so she’s gonna have an early start .

Ponyboy} Oh ok cool cool, so um, I think we better get going . Come on, let’s go . { They start walking back}

{Next scene, Dallas is still sitting down, he gets up cause he needs to go to the washroom}

Dallas} Poof, I need to go to the washroom, I’ll be back in a sec . { Then he goes into the toilets, he spots Cherry in there}

Dallas} Oh hey, princess Ariel, what are you doing out of the water ?.

Cherry} Why do you follow me everywhere I go ?.

Dallas} What do you mean, I come here cause I need to go for a piss, what do you think I’m doing, the tango ?.

Cherry} Whatever .

Dallas} Come on, I know that you’re playing hard to get, you ladies all want the bad boys, then you complain that you get abused everyday .

Cherry} Listen, ok, if you’re gonna carry on treating me like this, why don’t you just leave me alone ?.

Dallas} Oh yeah, that’s a great idea, let’s all wazz off, let’s all hold hands and stand together, what a load of bullshit, honestly . You don’t talk to me like that, you hear me ?. { He lays his hands on her and accidently hits her}

{Cherry is speechless}

Cherry} I don’t believe it, I really don’t.

Dallas} I know, it was an accident, it’s all jokes, we’re all good here, we’re full of laughter .

Cherry} Oh you wish it was a joke .

Dallas} You have thrust upon the world of rainbows and laughter and delusion, welcome to the club, Meg .

Cherry} Meg ?, who the hell is Meg ?.

Dallas} It’s you, you are Meg.

Cherry} Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you, get out of this washroom, get out, get out, get out now, when I say get out, you get out !! .

Dallas} Ok ok ok, I’ll get out of here, just make sure you don’t drown in the toilet, ok Ariel .

Cherry} Call me Ariel one more time and see what happens .

Dallas} Hm my guess, your appears in the mirror and starts terrorizing everyone, good luck trying to clean that shit up .

Cherry} Ok well can you please get out of here, I need the washroom for some serious shit .

Dallas} Ok ok fine, your wish is my command, young child from outer space .

{ Cherry looks like she’s about to punch him}

{A few minutes later, Dallas walks out of the bathroom, on the phone to someone}

Dallas} I did not hit her, it’s true, it’s bullshit, I did not hit her, I did not .  I’m telling you now, it wasn’t a slap, but I just, give me, ah ah, hold on, how do you even know about this, mom, ughhhh, mom, stop calling me, oh for goodness sake, you’re driving me crazy. { Looks up and sees Pony} ” Oh hey Pony, how’s things ?” .

Ponyboy} congratulations, you are now a registered sex offender, hooray, how does it feel to finally be related to Harvey Weinsteen ?  . { sprinkles a few flower petals on Dallas}

Dallas} Listen man, I didn’t hit her, my hand slipped and it accidently touched her skin, it wasn’t even a full blown slap, it was far from that, anyway, she’s a crazy bitch, she kept telling me that I followed her into the powder room, it just appeared to be a coincidence, I mean, how the hell did I slap her ?, how, it’s impossible, it’s impossible .

Ponyboy} What the hell, man, you’re ruining my chance with Cherry, what the hell are you doing ?.

Dallas} I don’t know, man, I’m being a normal person, or in the words of Cherry Valance, ” I came here to see a movie and I’m gonna see a movie ” . I mean, did I really hit her, did I, I don’t think I did, I better not have, did I though ?, there’s no way I did, my hand was up to here . { Puts his hand up to his chest}

Ponyboy} Whatever man, just hurry up, will ya, the gang’s waiting for us .

Dallas} There’s no way I slipped her, I didn’t, I didn’t, oh wait, maybe I did . Oh this is the most stupidest shit, what am I doing ?.

Ponyboy} Come on .

Dallas} ” Hehhhh, I hit her, I did not, I did hit her, this shit is going right through me, somebody, please take me away, take me away .

{Next scene, the boys are walking together, including Cherry}

Two Bit} Dude I swear, that movie is gold, no matter how many times you watch it, you still get the same reaction from it, it’s one hell of a movie, I’m telling ya .

Johnny} Literally one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched, what the hell was the movie even about, just pirates sailing on ships, you know, at one point, I thought that we watched Blood sport, hahaha, silly me .

Dallas} Well no, cause anyone who wanted to watch that movie, needs a reality check, I can’t believe we watched America America instead of Blood sport, I wanted to watch it, then we came and watched that boat movie instead, that’s a drag, that’s a drag .

Ponyboy} Oh well, I’m not complaining .

Dallas} Of course you ain’t complaining, you had it easy, you didn’t even do much, you just sat there, dazing into space, whilst I tried to gather all of my brain cells whilst I watch these people on a boat, shouting their heads off, I mean, who even thought of that ?, they must be brain dead .

Reggie} Oh well, it’s over now, the movie ended, we had our time here, now it’s time to leave .

Dallas} Oh god, I’m so happy that we’re leaving, I couldn’t even last five minutes in that place, the put the people so close to us, it’s almost like you can feel them, breathing on your neck, their breath stinks of the Home depot .

Johnny} Oh ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one, there was some dude a few blocks away, chewing a packet of chips, like full on, eating it, like my god, what has happened to people, have they suddenly become the new aliens of society, they don’t sound any different, I’m not surprised if they are, to be honest, they’re everywhere now, everywhere you go, there’s always someone . Why can’t I just live on the planet which supposably has jelly fish and floating rainbow cats on it ?, where I could of been staying a long time ago, shit, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time, another one bites the dust .

Steve} I don’t know, you probably go there when you die, or something. But why can’t we just leave this stupid society whilst we are still alive, so you shouldn’t have to experience it, you’re only gonna stay in this society and see some stupid guy wearing a baseball cap that says ” I survived the purge ” like, who wants to live for that .

Reggie} But surely there’s some good in the world, it’s not all doom and gloom, you have to look for the good stuff . Like, for an example, the field trip. At least we had a bit of fun together, we went to the night club, we had a good dance and we had a good laugh, we’re all good here, also, our time at the drive in, we had fun, having said that we came to watch the wrong movie, but we still had a good time, like, Pony, you had a nice time, did you ?, you met a girl, you guys started mingling, you see, it just goes to show on how you can find the good, even though we had a bad day with the whole movie / ticket bonanza .

Ponyboy} Yeah you’re right .

Johnny} Right, I think we should go back to the hotel now, it’s getting late .

Reggie} Yeah good idea, let’s do that .

{ They start walking back to the car}

Two Bit} Hey guys, was anyone surprised to find out that the movie turned out to be America America . Cause I was, and I actually liked it .

Reggie} No, not now .

{Act 7, they are still walking}

Steve} Honestly, I had it up to here with the movie, what was all that about, they had like people throwing spoons at the screen, I had no idea what was going on .

Cherry} How the hell did they think of that film, they must have been high on drugs or something .

Two Bit} I think that the movie directors that are high on drugs, come up with the best movies, the guy who directed Dodgeball was on Hasheesh .

{ They suddenly come across these two guys who drove their car quite close to the boys}

Two Bit} Oh look, here comes the Lefty Casanova . Look who’s back again, it’s Jackass .

Johnny} Who the hell is that, he looks like that guy from The Goombay Dance Band, hello . { Waves}

Dallas} Where did he find those trousers, he looks like he got sucked into a vacumm cleaner, where is Laurence Llewelyn Bowen when you need him ?.

Ponyboy} Look, just pretend that nothing happened, just carry on walking . { They carry on walking}

{ The two guys get out of the car and walk up to the boys}

The guy} Ay yoit . { Grabs their attention}

Ponyboy} Oh Jesus Christ, look, he’s gonna follow us now, way to go .

Cherry} Oh look, I think that’s my brother, what is he doing here ?.

Ponyboy} Bitch, that’s your brother, is you blind ?.

Cherry} Well no, that is my brother, have you ever met him before ?.

Ponyboy} No .

Cherry} Well then .

Johnny} Who are you, and what do you want from us ?.

Bob} Heh ?.

Ponyboy} This is pointless, what are we even doing ?.

Cherry} I didn’t know he was gonna be here, did I ?.

Ponyboy} Whatever .

Two Bit} Hello Bob the Builder, what are you doing round here ?.

Bob} I came here to look for Cherry, she went to the drive in without me . I spoke to one of her friends on facebook, she said that you were in the garden shed .

Cherry} Oh, piss off, you idiot .

{Bob’s read}

” Hi, my name is Bob Sheldon, AKA, the Lefty Casanova, AKA, MR Steal your girl, but you can just call me Bob, living in New York City is quite bizarre, all you see is trees and maybe a few stores but apart from that, there’s nothing here, I have been off my nut with the boys, I’m always this close to actually punching one of them in the face, but I’m trying to put my guard down and trying to keep calm. Randy is very good friend of mine,  he’ll come and introduce himself to you guys later, but in the meantime, I will talk to you about ouselves and the history behind us, it was weird actually, because um, when we first met, he thought that I was Art Garfunkel, yeah, that didn’t go too well, it resulted with me punching him and then he said ” no offense, it was a compliment ” and I was like ” What the hell, that is a compliment ?, you must be out of your goddam mind ” like why should I take that as a compliment, banchot ” .

{The other guy runs out and walks towards Bob}

The other guy} Bobby !!, Bobby !! . What the hell are we doing in this place ?, I thought you said that we’ll go to the night club, you said nine thirty pm on the dot .

Bob} I didn’t say anything about a night club, you idiot .

Randy} Yeah, well I was gonna go and see The Hustler in the movie theatre, I better get moving, time is ticking, not standing here, watching these bozos talking about wine tasting, waste of time .

{The other guy sees the gang}

The other guy} Oh well well well well, look at what we have here .

Steve} Oh Jesus . { crosses his arms and sighs and just stares at the wall}

Ponyboy} Oh my god, you’re Randy Hellman.

Randy} I know who I am, and you must be Pony, am I correct, please correct me if I’m wrong .

Ponyboy} Yeah no, you got my name right . Oh my god, I remember you in high school, remember me, we used to go to wood work class together .

Randy} Oh yeah, I remember, well it was nice seeing you, after you left school, I totally kept thinking about you, I was like ” I wonder what Pony is up to, I bet he’s up to something special ” cause it was a long long time ago and we were about ten at the time and we probably already forgot about each other, but we didn’t, we saw each other again, which is good .

Ponyboy} Yeah, the world works in mysterious ways . So, what are you up to, are you still doing the same things you were doing five years ago or have you changed ?, how’s it going, long time no see, what’s happening with you these days ?, have you been settling in ?.

Randy} Well, it’s been, it’s been crazy, I moved house and rented out a small apartment here in Manhattan, nice little place, not too much required for mortgage and taxes so that’s fine and then I got a job .

Ponyboy} You got a job ?, that’s amazing, well done. What job do you have ?, are you a lawyer, are you a dentist, do you work in a falafel factory ?.

Randy} No no, none of the following, I actually got a job in a job center.

Ponyboy} And what exactly does that job entail ?.

Randy} Well, I give people jobs, I lend people jobs for a living. They sign these applications and then you see if you get in, it’s quite an interesting job .

Ponyboy} Wow, that’s cool, I guess . { Sarcastically}

{Then Johnny butts in, convincing him to take a photo graph because he thinks that Randy is a famous celebrity}

Johnny} Oh god, this is absolutely fantastic, oh my god, John Wayne, what a great surprise, meeting you here, this is just amazing, you know what, I have a personal friend of mine who is a big fan of you, so can I have an autograph ?.

Randy} Er sure, where do you want me to put my signiture ?.

Johnny} Just write it here on my shirt . This is the best day ever, oh my gosh . { Randy signs his name on Johnny’s shirt, he is clueless on why Johnny wants his signiture, but he does it anyways, cause he doesn’t want to hurt his feelings}

Randy} Right there you go, I signed it .

Johnny} Yayyyyy .

{Everyone is confused}

Ponyboy} Wait, One minute, why did you get Randy to sign your T shirt ?.

Johnny} Um, because he’s a celebrity, duh .

Randy} Um no, I’m not a celebrity, who told you that ?.

Johnny} Me, I know my stuff, I know my celebrities quite well . Yeah, he is a famous celebrity, he was on that Japanese game show, you know the one where these contestants fall into this swimming pool ?, remember that .

Randy} A Japanese game show, why the hell would I be on a Japanese game show, someone better answer to this, otherwise, my head’s gonna explode .

Dallas} No you don’t, he is not a celebrity, he wasn’t on a Japanese game show, you just took a signiture from a complete stranger, that’s what you did, he is no celebrity, he looks like he just woke up in a skip, I mean, have you seen him, have you seen the man ?, huh, my god .

Randy} Oh, you want some, you fucking want some ?. { Walks up to him with his fists out}

Dallas} The hell I do . { Nods}

{A fight breaks out, Steve breaks the gang up}

Steve} Woah woah woah guys, calm down, save some for later, will you ?, this is absolutely pointless .

Ponyboy} Jesus Christ, the whole time we’re standing here, finding out who this guy is, then we haven’t found out who the other guy is, who the hell is he ?.

 

Steve} Yeah that’s a good idea, I’m clueless about everything, Hey, you right there. Do you even know this guy, who the hell is he ?.

The other guy} No, I barely even know this guy . I don’t even know what the hell this crazy chick is talking about, he is not her brother, this is a mad coincidence, it’s a sick world we’re living in, sick world .

{Randy’s Hellman’s read}

” Hello, I am Randy Hellman, AKA, the Lefty Cluesy Casanova, AKA, John Wayne’s cousin, um nah, I’m not John Wayne’s cousin, but I can relate to him in a way, like I have the same hair as him, not really the same with the style, but it’s very close . Um, Bob is my good friend but I call him Bobby, sometimes he can go off the rails, like once, he kept stalking Cherry, yeah, that was heavy shit bro, but um, it resulted as assault, so Cherry picked up a cucumber and whacked him on the head with it, but he’s alright now, he just suffered a bit of brain damage, just some memory loss and stuff, but no it’s all good, all good. I think I’m ok with the boys, they don’t bother me as much as they used too, but when it comes to Bobby, oh god, you back the flip off, if he sees any of their faces, he’ll go crazy and when I say crazy, I  mean like, mental bat shit fucking crazy, man ” .

{ Pony starts having a punch up with Bob}

Ponyboy} You go to Hill and go down . { Puts on a different accent}

Bob} You stupid, why you salting me, no good, man . { It’s meant to be shouting but he pronounces it that way}

Johnny} Pony, what the hell are you doing ?.

Ponyboy} Hahhhhhhh . { Stares at Johnny with his fist}

Bob} You blunder . You think that you can steal my girl, she wasn’t yours, she was mine, she was mine .

Ponyboy} No she wasn’t, what do you think this is, Love Is Blind ?.

Bob} Love is Blind ?, hahahaha, no, that is the most shittiest thing I have ever heard .

Cherry} Well no, you are the most shittiest thing I ever heard .

{Two Bit starts holowing}

Two Bit} Oohhhhhhhhhh, ouch, it’s about to get real . This by itself is like a blockbuster movie, I would pay to see it in a heartbeat .

Ponyboy} No you wouldn’t .

Bob} Hm, why did you leave me, Cherry, why did you leave me, I thought we had something, I seriously thought we did .

Cherry} Had something, haha, we, who’s we, no no, there’s no we, it’s just you and your lazy ass friend . I’ve moved on, I’m with someone else now. I like him very much, he may be weird but let’s be honest, we’re all weird sometimes, but at least he’s not like you, he has a brain and he doesn’t listen to crass music like, you listen to Hazel Atkins on repeat, it makes me lose my mind .

Bob} What, when have you heard me playing Hazel Atkins, you must be out of your tiny little mind, I told you I don’t listen to that shit, I listen to folk .

Cherry} Yeah well, whatever I heard was not folk, it sounded like some bird taking a shit and it came out the wrong way, that wasn’t folk, hm hm .

Bob} Yeah well, you listen to shit as well, well I guess that we’re even, you and your idiotic friend talk and look like shit in those outfits of yours, you look like a fridge .

Cherry} Oh shut up . { She slaps him}

Dallas} Oohhhhh, go on, Cherry, smack the shit out of him, you go girl .

Two Bit} Oh geez, ouch, that went down like a hurricane .

Cherry} You keep my friend out of this, she doesn’t look like a fridge, neither do I .

Bob} Yeah well, I don’t care about your beloved opinions of yours, my friend agrees with me, so it will stay like that, you guys understand ?, standing here like you are clever, you guys look like the white shoe gang or something, where did you guys those spats ?.

Ponyboy} Your mom’s closet .

Bob} What did you just say ?.

Ponyboy} What, did I stutter ?.

Bob} Yeah well, you guys look like Cousin Eddy in National Lampoons Vacation, you know those shoes that the other guy receives for a present, yeah, you like that, a spitting image of him .

Johnny} Yeah, and you look like Beetlejuice .

Bob} I look like what ?. { walks up to Johnny and gives him a hard stare}

Johnny} Yeah that’s it, you heard me, you look like Beetlejuice, you’re so ugly that you’ll have to say your name three times, and my god, would you want to have that shit in your house ?, not likely .

Bob} Right well, you look like a male version of Benny and the ink machine .

Johnny} Oh ok well, at least it’s better then having to look like Beetlejuice .

Bob} Hm, not likely, you look like that and even worse, there are clones, all of you look like that ?, that’s even worse then one person .

Johnny} hey guys, some backup here, please, help me out .

Steve} Can I tell you who you really what I think of you, you know what, this may seem like a surprise to you, but you remind me of a fat Rambo .

Bob} What did you just say to me ?.

 

{Pony goes crazy and pushes Bob}

Ponyboy} Ahhhhhhhhhhh. { Pushes him on the floor}

Bob} What the hell, man .

Two Bit} Ohhhhhhhh, burn .

Ponyboy} You had it coming, you had it coming, asshole .

Bob} My god, if I had a chance to push you as well, I would, has anyone ever told you that you look like that guy from Tight Fit ?.

Ponyboy} You what ?.

{Dallas waves his arms everywhere}

Dallas} Ahhhhhh god .

{Two Bit’s read}

” Whooooo, that was amazing, that shit went down like a hurricane, with everyone following after it as the espienarge intensifies, but Jesus Christ, did you see Johnny, oh wow, he’s got game, way to go calling Bob Beetlejuice, he knows proper gang bang, I’m properly proud of him, see, that’s what happens when you spend enough time with the big boys.

{Meanwhile, Pony drops Cherry off at home, he stands there, saying goodbye and making sure that Cherry returns back at home safely}

Ponyboy} Well, I guess this is goodnight .

Cherry} Yeah, thanks for the lift, I really appreciate it .

Ponyboy} Hey, don’t mention it. Oh hey, let me get the door for you, hold on a sec .

Cherry} No it’s ok, there’s no need, I got it, I got it . { She opens the door} ” Ok, I guess it’s time to go inside, would you like to come in ?.

Ponyboy} Uh, no it’s ok, I gotta head back to the hotel, but thanks for the offer .

Cherry} Of course, of course, my pleasure . Ok well, I gotta go now, but I’ll see you on Monday, I guess .

Ponyboy} Yeah, see you on Monday .

{Cherry starts leaving and stepping inside her house}

Ponyboy} Wait !! .

{Cherry turns around}

Ponyboy} I love you .

Cherry} I love you too . { She steps back in her house once again}

{Ponyboy stops her again}

Ponyboy} Wait !!! .

{Cherry turns around once again}

Ponyboy} Good luck with the audition.

Cherry} Thanks .

Ponyboy} Ms Cherry Valance is gonna go and she’s gonna bring back victory, she’s going to get the role, you’re gonna do great, we love you, don’t forget us when you’re famous . { Cheers her on}

Cherry} Yeah, I’m gonna bring back victory . { Smiles}

{Ponyboy smiles as well}

Cherry} Have a nice night .

Ponyboy} You too . { Then she goes inside and shuts the door}

{Ponyboy does a freeze frame as he jumps, he nailed it, Cherry finally loves him back, he is over the moon}

Ponyboy} Yeah heh .

 

 

 

{Act 8, everyone is back at the hotel, the boys are sitting in the living room}

Reggie} Ohhhh, guess who had his first kiss .

Johnny} Was it Pony ?, oh my god, it can’t have been, oh my god, it was, yeah heh heh, that is amazing .

Reggie} So, how was it ?.

Ponyboy} Oh, it was terrible, she dumped me .

Reggie} She what, no, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know .

Ponyboy} Yeah well, I guess I just have to deal with it, a girl comes, a girl goes .

Reggie} Oh that’s a shame, you guys looked so good together, what happened ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, I guess she got together with Bob, I knew I wasn’t right one, I just had it in me, I had it right here in my pocket, right here in my pocket . { He got up and pulled out her number}

Ponyboy} I got her number !!! .

Reggie} What, did you, you didn’t, did you just ?.

Ponyboy} I sure did.

Johnny} Oh my god, you had us in for the first half .

Steve} So what did she say ?.

Ponyboy} Nothing much, she just said that she loved me and she wants to take me out on a date .

Reggie} What day is the date gonna fall on ?.

Ponyboy} Well, we promised to go out together on Monday afternoon, it’s the only day that she is free on, but I guess it’s alright, I’m free on Mondays as well, I guess that’s a win win .

Dallas} Well come on then, what are you waiting for, show us your number, show us your number .

Ponyboy} Right ok. { opens up the paper with the number on it} ” Ok so, here it is, just be fragile with it, cause it might have some fingerprints on it .

Reggie} Wow, great stuff, it only has nine numbers as well, it makes it easier to remember .

Dallas} Yeah, don’t do what I did, I once got a girl’s phone number, and I had to write her one in return, so I did and I wrote about ten numbers on the same bit, without any spaces, can you believe that shit ?.

Johnny} Wait, seriously ?.

Dallas} I swear to god, even the girl wasn’t fine with it, she just stared at me, she just bat an eye, I thought that she would call me, but as soon as she took my number, she was never to be seen again .

Reggie} Oh dear, well luckily, it’s not the same with Pony, he’s gonna be extra careful, won’t you, Pony ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, I’ll be extra careful, it’s not like anything’s gonna happen though .

Steve} I think a similiar thing happened with me once, the number came out in a weird way, it ended up all shrivilled and the paper just fell apart .

Dallas} Wow, I guess great minds think alike, don’t they ?.

Steve} Yeah, for sure . Hey Pony, how are you feeling about your first date ?.

Ponyboy} I feel great, it really feels good to know that a girl likes you back, I think I can see our future, yeah, this is the one, this is the one .

Two Bit} Can I see the number, can I see it?.

Ponyboy} Yeah sure, one sec .

Reggie} I guess you really found yourself, didn’t you ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, I think it made me realize that life can be beautiful, and just small moments like this, can make you feel good and they make you look forward to your future, or what it has in store for you, I guess that experience is the best teacher, I learnt that, I learned that from a certain Mr Dallas Winston .

Dallas} Yeah, a word of advise from yours truly, I hope it gets into use .

Ponyboy} Yeah definetely, I will still be using that as my motto, when I am about 80 years of age, even though I’ll probably be quite forgetful, you get forgetful, don’t you ?, like when you’re an elder ?.

Reggie} Yeah, it’s quite common, but if it’s something that makes you happy, it will live on forever, it will never fade away, but you just gotta make the most of it whilst you are still a youngster, teenage years are the best years, but the time doesn’t last forever, that’s why you have to cherish every minute of it, because history repeats itself, so you just gotta open your hand and catch it, just like a butterfly in the first wallow of spring, cause eventually, it will fly away and head out into the dark mist .

Dallas} Wow, that’s some depressing shit .

Reggie} Yeah well, you’re gonna hear that saying a lot, when you’re an adult and you make your way through this world .

Dallas} Hm, I can’t wait to thrust myself upon a pile of white shit .

Reggie} Dallas, can we have a little positive energy here, please ?.

Dallas} Hm, maybe, maybe not, we’ll find out after the break .

Steve} Oh for goodness sake, Dallas, We’re not on a talk show, this is real life, turn around, this is why we’re alive . { Gathers his hand around}

Dallas} Hm, yeah right, I ain’t turning around, I’m better then that, all you’re gonna do is show me something like the lights or some shit .

Two Bit} This is a piece of history, right here, but Pony’s not the only one who fell in love today .

{Johnny gasps}

Johnny} Was it Reggie ?, oh my god, you ready to get married ?.

Reggie} No, it’s not me, I’m already married, remember ?. I have a kid and everything .

Johnny} I don’t remember you telling us anything about your wife .

Reggie} Yeah well, do, but she just keep a low profile.

Johnny} Oh I see .

Steve} It’s me, I was the one who fell in love today.

Johnny} Say what !!!! .

Steve} Yeah yeah, that’s right, I fell in love with someone, and guess who it was .

Dallas} Was it Eugene ?.

Steve} No it wasn’t, who the hell is Eugene, it was Ophelia, I got her number as well, she really likes me, I really like her, sounds like a fairytale if I’m honest .

Dallas} Yeah, until you get shot in the heart, she breaks up with you, you end up crying your heart out on your doorstep of your apartment, you run in the street with a bouquet of red roses, and then we will be standing there, by a brick wall singing ” All by yourself, don’t wanna be all by youself, any more, ehhhhhhh ehhhh ” .

Reggie} Ok, that’s a bit harsh now, Dallas, that’s not what you say to friend when they’re falling in love .

Dallas} I know I know, but that’s how it is, you know she’s gonna end up breaking his heart, if you end up with a long term relationship, then you are the luckiest person in the world .

Steve} But yeah, I got her to like me, and turns out, I’m treating her to a fancy dinner on Wednesday .

Reggie} That’s amazing, well done, Steve .

Steve} I feel like a whole new man, now that I have Ophelia, I feel like I can conquer anything .

Dallas} Yeah well, I’m not surprised, I always knew that she had a crush on you since from day one, she couldn’t take her eyes off you at the drive in, I had to keep telling her ” Look at the boat, look at the boat ” but she just kept on staring at you . It has been a rumor that’s been going around in the friend group .

Steve} Was there a rumor though, was there ?.

Dallas} Well, of course there is, it’s quite a small hidden thing, you’d have to be bright as a button to agnoledge it .

Ponyboy} Well no, there was a rumor that there was a rumor, but that was just bullshit . Love is a last minute thing, you don’t have feelings for people for months and months, it’s just a feeling .

Reggie} Right well, that settles it .

Two Bit} Guys, stop talking about love and check this out, have a look at the number .

 

 

Johnny} I really like how she wrote the numbers down, it’s quite neat .

Two Bit} Yeah, it doesn’t look like an Armadillo wrote them down, if it did, it would be a nightmare .

Ponyboy} Ah yeah, that’s how you do it, hm, it smells fresh . { Smells it} ” Feel free to have a peek, don’t take it though, cause it’s mine, but check it out, bam, 25643 1276 .

Dallas} That is absolutely brilliant, that is, see that’s how you do it, you gather up the confidence and when it’s your time, you make a move . My boy is finally getting somewhere in life, found his match . But whether she stays, that’s another story . Cause break ups are a pain in the ass. I had a girlfriend once, she ended up robbing me clean and ran away with my credit card, but yeah I’m doing alright, I’ll always be fine, now I got you guys, I’m tight as shit .

Reggie} Yeah, I guess it’s just a hit or miss situation, you either have it good, or you go the other way, but that’s life, some people have it good, some people have it bad, but that’s just how it is . But better days to come . You know what I mean ?.

Ponyboy} But yeah, I’m happy that it worked out between me and Cherry, she was beautiful inside and out . She’s just as beautiful as the sunset, but at that moment, when you see her for the first time, you know, you’re like ” Yeah, she’s the one ” but you know deep down that you can’t have her, but I was wrong, cause I was there with her, gazing into her eyes, I felt infinite . Have you ever dated someone before ?.

Johnny} Er no, you kidding me, I don’t have the balls to do that, anyway, how are girls gonna be attracted to me, I look like a burnt chicken nugget in an empty happy meal box .

Ponyboy} No you don’t, anyway, dating isn’t for everyone, you have to build up your confidence to ask someone out on a date . When you set a woman up for a date, you gotta give her your charm, you gotta ensure her that you are the right man for her . I call it the lexican of love, look it up .

Johnny} Nice .

Steve} So, did she like the movie or not ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah she was alright about it, like she didn’t end up throwing her popcorn at the screen, so I’m guessing that she liked it . That just goes to show that we both have different interests . But that’s cool I guess, the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing .

Dallas} Yeah but who would want to watch a movie about people on a boat though, I mean, I get that some people like that stuff, but shit like that just goes over my head .

Two Bit} Well I liked it, but I think that’s just because I grew up watching old school movies, including some of the old cartooned Disney movies, Mickey Mouse got me through some serious shit . But now I just watch it for fun, probably because I’ve got too much time on my hands . But I’m alright with that, cause I’d rather spend my time watching weird Disney cartoons instead of trying to find work . But life is for living, and I’d rather live my life watching old Disney movies then doing other activities .

Reggie} Yeah, just keep this secret between you and I, yeah ?, so basically, um, when I’m on duty, working in the office, I sometimes watch movies and tv shows on my laptop .

Ponyboy} Oh do you, oh ok, what stuff do you watch ?. Stranger Things, Entourage, No Retreat No Surrender, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, what do you watch ?.

Reggie} Uh yeah, I watch stuff like that, cause I get a bit bored of working in the office, so it’s nice to have a small break, watch a movie or two and I’ll be a happy man .

Johnny gasps} Oh my god, that’s savage, do the staff know that you do this ?.

Reggie} No hopefully not, cause if they find out, then I’ll get fired .

{Reggie’s read}

” Yeah, the truth is out, I do sometimes slack off, I’m not that perfect, you know, everybody does this sometimes, but if anybody is watching this, then I’m not sorry, they can stick their nose out of my business . Anyway, doesn’t everybody do that, I’m sure that everybody does sneaky stuff like this, I’m not the only one around here, give me a break ” .

Johnny} Wait, what the heck is Strange Things ?.

{Next scene, it shows Pony showing Johnny what Stranger Things is}

Ponyboy} Right, so this is what it is, it’s a teen horror Netflix series, it’s about these kids who experience weird and supernatural things in their town . And there’s this girl who has magical powers, then this boy goes missing then they have to try and find him . It’s really cool,  it’s also set in the 80s in Hawkins Indiana,, it’s sick, I actually watched all three seasons .

Johnny} Yeah, it sounds really good, can I watch an episode now, cause like I can’t wait .

Ponyboy} Yeah sure, I’ll put on the first episode of season one, see how you go . I really think you’ll like it, I watched it about a million times now, it’s binge worthy, once you watch the first two, you won’t stop .

Johnny} Oh ok cool, this looks sick, we’ll watch it together, do we have any popcorn ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah we got some right here, it’s the Salty kind, you’re favorite .

Johnny} Yeah, cause I don’t like the sweet one, it makes me feel sick . Ok here we go, it’s about to start . { Few minutes later, Pony and Johnny are lying on their bed, crying cause they have been binging both seasons in one go and they can’t stop}

Johnny} Oh my god, how can Netflix do this too us, it’s like one of the best things I ever watched .

Ponyboy} Yeah I know right . It’s sick, it’s the shit .

{ Meanwhile, Reggie is in his room, getting ready for bed, he’s angry because Pony and Johnny are supposed to be in bed, but instead, they are watching Netflix}

Reggie} Oh for god sake, I can’t believe this, honestly, where are the boys, they’re supposed to be in bed, not slacking off and staying up all night, it’s a disgrace, disgrace .

{Then, Reggie goes up stairs and checks in with the boys, seeing what they are doing, Johnny hears him walking up the staircase}

Johnny} Oh shit shit shit shit shit, it’s Reggie, if he sees us doing this, he’s gonna kill us .

Ponyboy} Shit, it’s fine, just pretend that nothing happened . { They hide under the blankets}

{ Reggie enters their room}

Reggie} Pony, Johnny, what the hell are you doing staying up at night ?.

Ponyboy whispers} Oh shittttt, here he is, I told you to to keep quiet .

Johnny whispers} I freaking was, what are you talking about, what was I supposed to do, count silently up to ten, no thanks .

{Reggie doesn’t hear them, so he walks away, the boys are relieved}

Ponyboy} Phew . { Sighs of relief}

Johnny} That was a close call .

{Then suddenly, he comes back in takes the blanket off and finds Johnny and Pony}

Reggie} Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .

{Johnny and Pony scream their heads off}

Johnny} What the hell, man ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, what’s the deal ?.

Reggie} What are you guys doing staying up late ?, you’re supposed to be asleep, the other boys are asleep, why isn’t it the same with you ?, come on guys, what the hell are you doing ?, you’re supposed to be responsible, what the hell is actually happening ?.

Ponyboy} First of all, I thought you were downstairs, why did you come up here ?.

Reggie} Cause I heard you guys making noise, you’re supposed to be asleep, what the hell are you guys doing staying up until 10 PM ?.

Ponyboy} I was just watching Stranger Things with Johnny, he hasn’t watched it yet, so I thought that I should show it to him .

Reggie} What is that shit ?.

Johnny} Hey, listen to me, MR, you can have an opinion how many times you like, but don’t you dare call Strange Things shit .

Ponyboy} It’s called Stranger Things, not Strange Things, Jesus Christ, do you speak English ?.

Johnny} Shut up, bitch . Anyway, you have no right to call Stranger Things shit, you are a fifty two year old man who has stayed in the seventies, you haven’t properly settled in in this new modern generation, nothing lasts forever. ” It’s shit, it’s shit, it’s shit ” hah, yeah right, how dare you ?.

 

Reggie} No, I didn’t mean that, I meant like, what is it, it’s probably a lot of junk, you know the sort of shit they make nowadays, it’s all PC and just shoving agenda down your throats .

Johnny} Ok boomer, bring us back to the 80s then, use your time machine and bring us back to the olden days, so you can meet the first astronaut who landed on the moon, why not take us to go and see the first tree to ever exist .

Reggie} Oh for goodness sake, Johnny, why don’t you just go to sleep ?, you’re making me lose my shit . Most of the stuff they have nowadays, is a load of old shit, convince me otherwise, just like John Carpenter said that the originals are the classics, no question about it, but the remake, on a different level of shite .

Ponyboy} But wait it’s actually really good . Sit down, I’ll show you .

Reggie} Ohhhh, I love a good Netflix and chill night .

{Few minutes later, Reggie is glued to the screen, he is hooked on it, just like the other boys}

Reggie} Ok you know what, what I said may be wrong after all, but I think, I’m hooked .

Ponyboy} Yeah see, don’t say it’s shit if you haven’t watched it, don’t judge a book by it’s cover .

Reggie} Yeah it’s amazing, oh for god sake, what am I doing, obsessing over a show, I’m fifty, errrrr, move it away from me .

{After a few minutes went past, Pony and Johnny went to bed}

{Next morning, the boys were packing their stuff back in their suitcases and bags, because they were getting ready to leave the hotel and there field trip was coming to an end}

Reggie} Guys, grab your shit, we’re leaving .

Ponyboy} We are grabbing our shit, thank you very much, geez, what’s the rush ?.

Reggie} There’s no rush, no rush at all, but um, we just need to pack our suitcase, make sure we don’t leave anything behind, cause hotels are the worst of them all, cause if you leave anything behind, we won’t be able to come back and get it, like your shirt or whatever it is you leave behind .

Ponyboy} Oh ok .

Reggie} Here we are, getting ready to leave the hotel, I don’t know about you but I’m really gonna miss this place .

Ponyboy} Yeah me too, but we can’t stay here forever, at some point, we’ll have to go back to where we belong . Like you need to go back to your office, you still have to go to work, cause there are millions of residents who need your help .

Reggie} Yeah that’s true, I need to get back to work, I had my break, it was well needed, we had it, now things have to go back to how they were . Which is alright, cause, eventually, things have to go back to normal, but what’s good is that, if we need another break, the door’s wide open .

Johnny} Yeah, we also took some photos together, so the memories never fade away .

Ponyboy} What, you took photos, don’t tell me that you took a photo of me, throwing up in the washroom, otherwise I’ll make you delete it off .

Dallas} Yeah, you better not taken a photo of me with sick all over my jacket, that jacket costs me a two thousand bucks . The color of the barf changed the color of the jacket, now it’s got a stained pattern sort of thing going on .

Johnny} Yeah yeah yeah yeah, we didn’t take photos of that, but I actually took a photo of Reggie in the shower .

Reggie} You freaking what ?.

Two Bit} Bahahaha . { Starts laughing}

Johnny} Yeah, it was hilarious, I walked into the washroom and took a picture, you were like singing or something .

Reggie} Oh my god, I can’t believe you did that, I am slowly losing faith in you, honestly, I am .

Johnny} Anyway, what were you singing in the shower, like Nashville or something ?.

Reggie} No, when have I ever sung Nashville in the shower .

Johnny} Oh ok well apparently, it wasn’t Nashville, it was like House Of The Rising Sun or something, I have no clue, it was either one of them .

{Reggie starts getting angry}

Ponyboy} Um Johnny, I think you need to stop talking .

Johnny} Ok that’s a good idea, I’ll stop talking .

{Next scene, they are back in the car, driving back home, the boys are talking about the photos that they took}

Two Bit} Well yeah, I took a few photos, I got the picture where Cherry splashes coke all over Dallas .

Dallas} Dude no, what the hell was that, that was terrible, I had to change shirts, that took long to clean, oh hell no .

Ponyboy} Yeah, that was some funny shit, I almost fell off my chair, but Dallas fell off his chair so I didn’t have to .

Dallas} Yeah and I ate his chocolate bar, you’re welcome .

Ponyboy} What ?. { Gets furious}

Johnny} Oh god, Dallas, why you do that ?.

Dallas} What ?, it was tasty and it was more tasty because it was someone else’s .

Johnny} Oh hell no, eh eh .

Ponyboy} Dude, you can’t do that, just don’t take shit from me, don’t try and pave the way, it’s not gonna work, it never will, no matter how hard you try .

{ They drive past a DVD store}

Steve} Aw sick, do I see a DVD a store, or is it just me, I’m not getting double visions, aren’t I ?.

Ponyboy} No I think it is, you know, there is a DVD store there, aw sick, Reg, can we go to the DVD store ?.

Steve} Yeah, can we, can we, please ?.

Dallas} Oh my god, you guys are a bunch of children .

Steve} Can we go to the DVD store, Reggie ?.

Reggie} Yes ok sure, but only for a few minutes, we’re supposed to be leaving early cause the roads are gonna get busy, do you wanna drive back in the traffic or what ?.

Steve} No of course not, but we’ll just go quickly in and out, before you know it, we’ll be out of here .

Reggie} Alright then, let’s go, I wouldn’t mind going in there myself, actually .

{The boys walk up to the DVD store} { Johnny starts talking to the camera}

Johnny} Here it is, in all it’s glory, Complete Theatre Crack Heads, this is where me and Dallas go to get our weekly set of DVDs .

Dallas} Yeah, this is where I purchased the movie, Taxi Driver, they have the real shit here, you always have luck in finding the one you’re after .

Ponyboy} Yeah and once Johnny bought this movie from this store, I can’t remember what it was called, but um, the whole movie just entailed a guy playing crocket . It just went on for about ten hours, just the same thing going round and round in circles, going on in about a ten hour loop, so that was pretty shit, after a few days of owning it, Johnny had to throw it away, cause he thought that he was having early signs of OCD .

Johnny} Yeah I had to, that was my only choice, cause all you could see, was a guy swinging a hockey stick back and forth, like, how is that entertainment, you tell me, I’d rather play around with a ball in a cup, at least it keeps you entertained throughout the millions of times you’ve used it .

{Then they stare at the camera}

{Next scene, they walk into the DVD store} { The owner jumps out of no where and starts singing}

Owner} Hey hey hey hey, welcome to my DVD store , take a look around you, not sure on what DVD you want ?, no problem, when your day is ruined, you don’t know what you’re doing, who you gonna call ?, Complete Theatre Crack Heads . Hello .

{Johnny pretends to be excited}

Dallas} What the hell ?.

{Dally’s read}

” As we walk into the DVD store, with no expections what so ever, man jumps out of curtains, singing the Ghostbusters theme tune, nah that wasn’t Ghostbusters, that sounded like a cat giving birth with reverb, but yeah he was like ” Heh heh da da da ” and I was like fucking hell ” . { Starts laughing}

Owner} Hoh, welcome to my DVD store, guys, what can I do for you ?.

Ponyboy} Well you see . { Tries to talk but the person talks over him}

Owner} You wanna buy DVD ?, you wanna buy DVD ?. { Holds out three DVDs in his hands}

Ponyboy} Well no um .

Owner} What do you want, I got five for three for ten dollars ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t want DVD .

{Dallas tries to challenge the owner}

Dallas} Don’t worry, I got this, I got this . Hello sir, you got a message from Chal Pantoon.

Owner} Do I have a message of who, pan loom, what ?.

Dallas} Did you get into contact with Chal Pantoon, he’s a very good friend of mine, he said that you guys had a chat, he said  to me ” talk to my guy, he good ” .

Owner} I have no idea what you’re talking about, I really don’t .

Dallas} Pantoon, man .

Ponyboy} Dallas, calm down .

Dallas} Shut up, Dufrais . Look, Chal Pantoon sent me down here because he wants to buy DVD and sell legal copies to people .

Owner} Look, I don’t know any Charles Pantoon, I think you got the wrong guy .

Dallas} Oh stop lying, of course you know him, da . { Tries to speak but the owner doesn’t let him}

Owner} Wanna buy DVD ?. { Holds out DVDs again}

{A few minutes later, the boys take a look around}

 

 

Dallas} Aw, this is sick, there’s so much to see, you could probably like spend time living here, you’d have all day to look .

Ponyboy} Oh wow look, a photo of Clint Eastwood, this is the original movie poster for The Good, The Bad And The Ugly . { Points at the photo that was pinned onto the wall}

Johnny} Aw sick, that’s that guy from The Wicker Man, isn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} No, what are you talking about, Clint Eastwood isn’t in The Wicker Man, are you alright ?.

Johnny} No I’m not, I swear, that is the guy from The Wicker Man, looks like him as well, it’s rad .

Dallas} Jesus Christ, this guy is on Hasheesh, doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he’s never even seen this movie before .

Johnny} Uh yes I have, I can tell even without having to watch it, it’s called logic, you should have some, it’s nice .

Ponyboy} How does that remind you of The Wicker Man, they are two complete different things, how does one remind you of The Wicker Man ?.

Johnny} Well no cause it’s like, filmed in the middle of nowhere, like in a desert in America, you don’t see anything but sand, anyway, let’s go and have a look at the DVDs, I wanna see if they have The Karate Kid 1, 2 and 3, I’m gonna get the whole trilogy, cause why not . { Then he goes to have a look through the selection of DVDs}

{Then Steve shuffles through the box of DVDs and finds the blue ray edition of Carrie}

Steve} See, just what I thought, I’m gonna buy this, it’s only twenty dollars, Reggie can pay for it on his debit card . { Then he goes somewhere else}

{Then Two Bit has a look through all the DVDs and finds a blue ray edition of America America}

Two Bit} Oh my god, look what I found, America America, without a doubt, one of the best animated Disney movies ever, wait till everyone hears about this .

{Meanwhile, Reggie is having a look in the comedy / crime section}

{Reggie’s read}

” DVD stores are the best, nostalgia is the best, when ever you walk into a DVD store, you enter DVD heaven, there are DVDs and discs everywhere, it used to be really hard to find the one that you are after, you’d have to look in all stores, but now you can just walk into a DVD store and find whatever you are looking for, unless if there’s a panic buying problem, then you might not have a chance of finding anything, but hopefully we won’t come to that ” .

Reggie} Right so, I’m planning on buying Pony a little gift, cause two days ago, he hit rock bottom and he couldn’t handle the drinking at the night club, but thankfully, he is feeling a lot better, he just had to have a clear out in his system, but yeah, I’m gonna find him a various DVD and give it to him as a present, hopefully, he will appreciate it, but I think he’ll really like it. I have four choices, I have picked out three movies of different genres . So my four options are, Bonnie And Clyde, which is an Italian crime movie, then we have Coming To America, then we have The Outsiders and lastly, we have Big Wednesday . Which one should I choose ?, actually do you know what, I think I might buy him all four, there’s just so much to choose from, I am mesmerized .

{Meanwhile, Pony is having a look in the sci Fi section}

Ponyboy} Woah, there’s just so much to choose from, I just wanna buy everything, but I know that that is not the case and Reggie would have to pay for all of it and that would lead him to selling his car and living on the streets, and we don’t want that to happen, do we ?. Right ok, so sci fi is one of my favorite genres, I’m just facinated in stuff like monsters, goblins and strobe effects and stuff . But yeah, I’m currently in between three choices, I have The Terminator, then I also have Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure, then I also have They Live, I honestly can’t choose, all of them are great movies, the only movie I didn’t watch was They Live, I have watched the rest of them, but this is so tempting . Hm do you know, I think I’ll get They Live, cause I’ve never seen it before and it looks sick, don’t judge me, it’s money, I get to spend it how I desire . Whoo, I think I’m done, now I just gotta see how the other guys are getting on with their’s .

{Meanwhile, Johnny is asking a member of staff if they have all three of The Karate Kids movies}

Johnny} Hm, why don’t they have The Karate Kid trilogy, it’s like one of the best film trilogies ever, how can they not have it, I need to ask someone, ok just give me a sec cause I’m just gonna go ask a member of staff . { Then he goes to grab someone’s attention} ” Uh excuse me, excuse me, please, yeah hellooooooooo, is anyone there, I don’t think he can hear me properly, one sec, I’ll try again. ” Hello, oh for god sake, oh that’s it, not doing it now ” .

{Johnny’s read}

” Ok look, let me just get this straight, I’m trying to make it clear that I don’t hate people, I think that some people can be amazing, but it’s just a small amount of people that me so angry, like for an example, one of the members of staff that is working in the DVD store, if you’re not willing to listen to the customers, then what’s the point of working then, honestly, it just pisses me off, honestly, I’ll just lose a few brain cells whilst trying to get him to talk to me, and I still need my brain cells for when we head back to the office, cause that by itself, is enough for me ” .

{ Johnny is still trying to grab the person’s attention, but he’s not listening, he is stacking a few DVDs and putting them on the shelf}

Johnny} Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, no no no no .

{The person finally turns around and hears Johnny}

Person} Excuse me, sir, have some patience, you can see that I am busy with stacking stuff on the shelves .

Johnny} Oh, you can talk, it’s a miracle, it’s amazing, I’m mind blown .

Person} Excuse me, what are you here for, what can I do for you ?.

Johnny} Um yeah, I’m wondering if you had all three of The Karate Kid movies, cause there is no sign of them, trust me, I had a look by shuffling through all of the Martial Arts DVDs, there is nothing else but The Big Boss and The Shaolin Temple .

Person} Right, well I’m afraid that you’ll have to double check, cause you of missed something .

Johnny} What, you think I don’t know shit, what, you think I don’t have a brain, of course I checked, you don’t need to do it the second time .

Person} Yeah well, I’m afraid that you have to, cause I can’t even find it myself .

Johnny} Jesus Christ, how can you not find The Karate Kid, it’s a classic, right well, you don’t have that, you have everything else but not The Karate Kid, right, so you have all the shit movies such as Tenetemba and The Suicide Squad and you don’t even consider having The Karate Kid trilogy, absolute disgrace, disgrace . { Kisses his teeth}

Person} I’m sorry sir, but I can’t help you with this, you’re gonna have to ask another member of staff, cause I have no clue what you want me to do .

Johnny} What the hell, I just told you, I told you a million times or more, I have officially lost count, I think your middle name is disgrace, cause it is .

Person} Well no, my name is Jeff Willis, but you were pretty close .

Johnny} Yeah I thought so, but um, I’m not here to have a conversation with you, cause you were the person who pissed me off, I came here to ask you if you had The Karate Kid 1 2 and 3 and you’re standing here, looking like one of ladies from Three Non Blondes, what is your problem, man ?.

Person} I’m sorry, what did you just say ?.

Johnny} I said that you looked like one of the ladies from Three Non Blondes, actually no, scratch that, you look like a dismembered lemon and, just a disclaimer, lemons are not attractive, they look like they were bathing in bright yellow paint .

Person} Sir, sir, enough, we don’t have The Karate Kid here, ok, you’re gonna have to look somewhere else, I’m afraid, but thanks for asking for assistance .

Johnny} Well the assistance that I recieved, wasn’t very good, I’ll leave you a one star review when the rest of my friends will give you guys a five star rating, such a shame .

Person} Oh really, yeah, what will your friends say about me ?.

Johnny} Um let’s see, my good friend Dallas will punch you in the face, if you give him the same help that you gave me, he will be fuming, if you tried that on him, he, he won’t let you have it, he won’t let you ha .

Person} Ok well, I’m sorry that I can’t help you guys .

Johnny} Ok well, that is a disgrace,  now mind you, I’m gonna go and have a look myself,  I will physically bash you to shreads with my brain, once I find the specific set of DVDs, I will be laughing whilst you will be crying and I’ll be loving it .

{Person mutters to himself}

Person} Pffff, people . { Then carries on with his job}

{Meanwhile, Johnny is standing by the book shelf of DVDs and tries to climb onto it}

Johnny} Right well, here goes nothing, that employee asked for it so, here it is, I’ll find the DVD, the employee will be quaking . { Climbs onto the shelf} Ahhhhhhhhh, oh shitttttttttt !!!!!, { spots a No Retreat No Surrender DVD} Oh wait, is that No Retreat No Surrender, no, it can’t be, it looks like some sort of Bollywood movie, it looks like Bebo ” .  { Then he finds a letter, that was pinned to the wall}

Johnny} Oh wait, hang on, what’s this ?. { Starts reading the letter} ” According all DVD customers, you can now get discount on all of your DVDs, three for twenty five dollars, go to cashier, to reveal your coupon ” { The book shelf starts wobbling} ” Ay Chuiawawa, woah woah woah ” { waves his arms around, Then he falls off}

{A few minutes later, Jeff, the employee pulled Johnny up and started shouting at him after he trashed the DVD shelf}

Employee} What the hell are you doing, trashing my DVD shelf, are you insane ?.

Johnny} Yeah well, that’s your fault, because you didn’t bother helping me find the specific DVD that I’m after, you have questions to answer, my friend .

Employee} You ruined the shelf, now I have to buy a new one .

Johnny} Yeah good, cause I didn’t like it anyway, it looks like a wild boar took a massive shit all over it, I’m sorry but if you want people to come here and buy your DVDs, then you’re gonna have to up your game .

Employee} I do have game, I have game though .

Johnny} Oh ok, where do you have game, oh I know, on your ass ?, that’s where you have game, it’s everywhere else, but it’s not in your brain, you might wanna change that, to be honest .

Employee} Right, well I think that you’re being a bit misconstrude now .

Johnny} Right well, I’m not the one with the wild boar shit printed book shelf, so .

Employee} Look, I’m not helping you, ok, we don’t have the DVD and that’s that, you don’t have a right to come to this DVD store and throw all your bullshit around, you have to leave .

Johnny} Right well, you’re absolute disgrace, I’m gonna bring my friends along, surely they will have some strong first impressions on you and I’m hoping that they will age like fine wine, actually no, they will age like spoiled milk, cause this is what’s gonna go down . { Leaves}

{A few minutes later, Johnny is standing there with the boys, their arms are crossed, Steve has a horror mask on, nobody knows why}

Ponyboy} What do you mean, you don’t know ?.

Person} I don’t know ok, I have no idea where the DVD is, I told your friend a million times, he ain’t listening .

Dallas} Hoh, I’ll make you listen in a minute .

Johnny} Man, this man’s so dense, light has to bend around him .

Person} I’m sorry ?.

Johnny} Shutttttttttt . Steve, tell him .

Steve} What, tell him what, I don’t know what I’m supposed to say .

Johnny} Just tell him, do it .

{Steve takes a deep breath and walks closer to the employee}

Steve} Gonna eat your face, gonna eat your face . { Shouts in a deep voice}

{Person stares at him, he looks frightened, the boys are trying to keep a straight face}

Person} Ok well, look, I just had a look through the Martial Arts DVDs shelf and I found The Karate Kid Trilogy, all yours .

Johnny} Yeah heh heh heh, that’s what I’m talking about, ahh sick, it’s in good condition as well, it’s good as new, oh well, thanks man, take it easy, yeah . { Then he waves and leaves, as well as everyone else}

Dallas} See, it’s the principle, we get it fair and square, that guy had nothing against us, it was between us six and him, we won by default, he was scared shitless, he couldn’t even flinch, couldn’t he ?.

Ponyboy} Nah, he was pretty much shitting himself on the inside .

Steve} Yeah, ah, my throat’s gone sore though, probably from shouting too much .

Johnny} Yeah it was worth it though .

Reggie} Yeah, I still feel like you should of been a bit nicer to the employee, don’t you think ?.

Johnny} Well no, why be nice ?, he was an ignorant old soul, you go to the workplace to work, not to slack off and act like a complete jackass, nowadays, they just hire the people who have no experience . Now, I get that people have to make money to put food on the table for their families and stuff, but come on, might as well just work in a public washroom, you get payed two dollars an hour, can’t go wrong, can you ?.

{Johnny’s read}

” Customers come first before anything else, now there’s a saying, yeah, which is, one that I like to use a lot, it’s called ” The customer is always right ” now, when you’re in a store, it doesn’t matter what one it is, but a store, right, and a customer walks in and asks the employee to get something for them, the employee listens to the customer, cause the customers are the ones who make them prophet . They are the ones who land them five million dollars in their bank account, but when the employees don’t listen to them, then chaos happens and the customer leaves the store in a aggrivated mood cause they didn’t get what they wanted . So when I asked the employee in the DVD store to fetch me a DVD copy of The Karate Kid trilogy, he thought that I was out of my goddam mind, like, what the hell is that, The Karate Kid is an 80s classic, how can they not have it in the store, right, so they have all of the shitty movies like Tenetemba and other shit, I was almost about to lose my mind, then the boys came to my rescue and Steve scared him with his Friday 13th Jason Voorhees mask .

{The boys are walking in the street}

Dallas} But yeah, they had some rad movies in there, just wanted to buy everything and just rent out the whole store, like if I could get a chance to do that, I would, without a doubt .

{Pony suddenly remembers to go back in the DVD store, cause he forgot to get something in there, he tells the boys, including Reggie, then they had to stop in the middle of the street}

Ponyboy} Oh shit shit shit shit .

Johnny} What, what’s wrong ?.

Ponyboy} Uh nothing, I just um, forgot to ask the employee about something, it’s just, I’ve been trying to find this movie for a long time and now it’s my only chance to do it while we are still here, ok guys, see you in a bit . { Then he leaves and walks into the DVD store once again, hoping to find the DVD he’s looking for}

{ He finds a member of staff, it wasn’t the same employee that Johnny had a go at, it was someone completely different}

{Ponyboy clicks his fingers and grabs the person’s attention}

Ponyboy} Excuse me, excuse me, can I have some service, please ?.

Employee} Of course man, what can I do for you ?.

Ponyboy} Um, I was just wondering if you guys had Tenetemba on Blue ray ?.

Employee} If we had what on blue ray ? .

Ponyboy} What, you don’t know what it is, Tenetemba .

Employee} What the fuck is Tenetemba, I have no idea what that is .

Ponyboy} Oh for god sake, how you can you not know what Tenetemba is, it’s this movie where this guy runs around in circles with pigeons going ape shit and he’s standing there shouting ” Oh my god, no ”, and in another scene, this guy walked into a grocery store and said to the man behind the counter ” Hello, that’s a nice tenetemba ” it’s rad,that is an American cult classic, how can you not have it ?.

Employee} Are you sure it’s not called something else, like does have a different title, cause it’s probably not how you imagined it in your head .

Ponyboy} No dude, why would I be making this shit up, I don’t think of the titles myself, of course it’s Tenetemba, I am positive that it’s called Tenetemba, cause a movie is not gonna be called ” Running round and round in circles in New York City ” isn’t it ?, Jesus Christ, I’m losing my goddam mind .

Employee} Do you want help, sir ?.

Ponyboy} No, why the hell would I want help, I feel perfectly fine, but maybe you can seek help, because you don’t know what I’m talking about . I’m explaining countlessly on what DVD I’m after and you’re standing here, thinking that I’m mentally ill, I’m going to go mad . I am going to go mental .

Employee} Right ok, how about this then, I will have a look on the shelf, to see if we have the DVD, I’m sure we have something very similar in our collection, won’t keep you waiting .

Ponyboy} Oh ok cool, man .

{ The employee shuffles through his collection of DVDs on the shelf, a few minutes later, he comes back with nothing}

Employee} Right ok so, I’m afraid I have some awful news, we don’t seem to have a movie called Tenetemba, but all we have is Trainspotting and To Kill A Mockingbird .

Ponyboy} Oh for, are they the only ones that begin with a T ?.

Employee} Well yeah, we have a bunch of other ones, but these are the ones that begin with the letter T, are you sure you’re not talking about Trainspotting ?.

Ponyboy} Trainspotting ?, no, what the f is Trainspotting, never heard of it in my life, I’m talking about Tenetemba, not Trainspotting, they are two completely different things .

Employee} Well, we don’t have Tenetemba, so you could either have to leave the store or you can buy one of these, cause you’re coming into my store and you’re starting a storm . Do you wanna purchase Trainspotting today ?.

Ponyboy} No, I’m not purchasing that thing, you’re damn right I’m not, I’m not buying it, it’s a big fat no . Wait sorry, what’s your name ?.

Employee} It’s John .

Ponyboy} John who ?.

Employee} Just John .

Ponyboy} Oh ok,it’s a big fat fucking no, John !!!!! . { Storms out of the DVD store, he goes to find the boys} { Shouts at the guy in the window}

Ponyboy} What you looking at ?, yeah, you’re lucky the cameras are rolling cause then I would of dealt with you . Stupid new world order sort of shit, they’re all members of The status quo at the end of the day, the society’s changing by the minute .

{Pony’s read}

” What an asshole, honestly like, living here just reminds me on how many people are idiots and even worse, that guy works in a store, just when you think that you can rely on him to help you out with finding a certain DVD, he isn’t clued up, I bet you right now, yeah ?, that that guy probably doesn’t even know what a DVD is and they just hired him because of his pair of shoes instead of testing him on his common knowledge, it’s a disgrace . How can they not know on what Tenetemba is, it’s a critically acclaimed cult classic, you know, who doesn’t want that DVD in their collection, why buy the other ones, when you can buy Tenetemba ?, just swings and roundabouts ” .

{Next scene, Pony goes back to find the boys}

Ponyboy} Such a waste of precious time, honestly .

Johnny} Did you get the DVD that you were after ?.

Ponyboy} Well um, no because that stupid degenerate didn’t even know what I was talking about, it wouldn’t even make it better if I used some sort of sign language .

Steve} Wait, but why can’t you just go and get it yourself, why do you need to ask someone to get it for you .

Ponyboy} Oh my god, get it myself ?, my word, why would I get it myself, what like, climb the shelves, almost dead whilst trying to find Tenetemba, Jesus Christ, Believe it or not, this is the guy who thinks the role of Borat is played by Freddie Mercury .

Steve} Well, how the hell am I supposed to know the actor who plays him, I barely watch Tv .

Reggie} Anyway, let’s just get in the RV, we’ll discuss it later .

{A few minutes later, the boys are in the RV, Pony is rambling on about the guy in the DVD store, Johnny is fast asleep}

Ponyboy} Jesus Christ, what a jackass, that guy shouldn’t be working in a DVD store, he shouldn’t even have a job, let alone working in a store with DVDs .

Reggie} What even happened in there ?.

Ponyboy} Right so basically, I went in there, grabbed that employee’s attention, probably wasted three brain cells whilst doing so, he came up to me, he said ” What can I do for you ?” and I said, ” Have you guys got Tenetemba on blue ray ?” And the guy just looked confused and away with the fairies .

Reggie} Right, well, that’s the part I don’t get, what is Tenetemba, does it even exist, cause if it doesn’t, there will be a 100 % chance that he’ll have no clue .

Ponyboy} No, Tenetemba freaking exists, why would it not exist, there are millions of movies out there and in every pile, there is Tenetemba, if you don’t believe me, search it up yourself, all will be revealed .

Reggie} Oh hell nah, I’m not searching it up on Google, my account is gonna get blocked and there’s gonna be millions of notifications in my search history which just has the word Tenetemba on it, that’s the last thing I’d want .

Steve} Freaking chaotic, those are my words for that .

Ponyboy} Jesus Christ, this guy is doing my head in, just want to go up like that, boom, his on the floor, all dizzy, do you know what I mean like, just smash this, smash that, smash everything, because of hate .

{A few minutes later, Johnny is still asleep, Pony is still having an endless rant, the boys are not getting involved in it}

Ponyboy} I mean, who does that guy think he is, thinking that he can just slack off and make me look silly, well, that guy’s got a thing coming his way, hahaha, you better watch out . { Looks behind him, notices that Johnny is asleep, still tries to talk to him} Hey Johnny, Johnny Cakes, I think it’s great that we are on this field trip, we’re like twins in a way, aren’t we ?, very much like twins .

{ Johnny still carries on sleeping}

Ponyboy} Hey you know what, we should hang, we should chill . Hey you know what, we should get matching Rotterdam T shirts, they have these ones with these like snakes on it. Hey Johnny Cake, are you still asleep ?. { Leans forward onto the chair to talk to Johnny} I’m gonna get one my size, probably about extra large . Johnny Cake,  Johnny Cake.

{Johnny wakes up and sees Pony sitting very close to him, he is thinking ” WTF”}

Ponyboy} Goodnight, my brother from down under .

Johnny} Down under ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, it’s Ohio, isn’t it ?. Hahhhhhhhhh { inhales} { Johnny carries on sleeping} ” Goodnight, my Ohion prince ” .

{A few minutes later, the boys are awake, Reggie is driving the RV}

Reggie} Jesus Christ, look at the freaking traffic, why ?, why ?, why does it have to be like this on our last day ?, that’s a drag .

Johnny} I don’t know, maybe it’s good luck or something .

Reggie} What, are you freaking kidding me ?, this is good luck, what so, almost getting killed in a road traffic accident is good luck, are you insane ?.

Johnny} Well no not really, cause like, it all works in mysterious ways, even some of the bad things that you deal with in your day to day lives can produce good luck, like for an example, if you smash a Coctail glass when it falls on the floor, yeah, it may be horrible but also, good vibes will come out of it .

Ponyboy} Well no, the only thing that comes out of it, is that you get shards of broken glass all over your marble print floor, or hard wood floor, what ever it is that you wanna call it, then somebody can step on it by accident, then they end up in hospital, no, it’s not good luck, all of it is actual bullshit, I don’t know where you’re getting all this information from .

Johnny} I’m getting the information from a proper website, I’m not getting my research from Wikipedia, cause there is some dodgy shit on there, let me tell you that, the other day I searched ” Big Chungus ” then guess what came up ?, a freaking fat dancing cat, now, how the hell did it get those results, I haven’t a clue, the world wide web can do some weird shit sometimes, no doubt about it .

Reggie} Oh hey, you know what, guys, who wants to do a little show and tell with all the DVDs that you guys purchased today ?.

Steve} Oh yeah we should, that’s a good idea, Reggie, I made some interesting choices, let me tell you that .

Reggie} Oh ok, who wants to go first ?.

Ponyboy} Um, I’ll go first, if that’s fine with everyone else .

Johnny} Yeah, that’s absolutely fine, I need some time to organize mine, so while I get my shit together, I can watch Pony tell us about his movie / DVD choices .

Ponyboy} Right ok so, I bought one DVD, I would of just bought the whole store, but I know that that wasn’t the case and we’ll all be in debt .

Reggie} Pony, yes yes, you don’t have to keep saying that, it’s cool, it’s cool, just carry on showing us the DVD that you bought .

Ponyboy} Ok so the DVD I chose was called They Live and it’s about this guy who finds these shades and when he puts them on, he sees zombies, but it’s weird because they are people, but he gets to see on who they really are, which is cool but also terrifying . { does a fumbs up}

Reggie} Thank you, Pony, for a great description, um, did you watch it yet or did you just search it up online ?.

Ponyboy} Well no um, I read the blurb on the back of the DVD case, just makes it easier, doesn’t it ?.

{Awkward silence}

Reggie} Okey dokey, ok so, who wants to go next ?, Johnny, do you want to go next ?.

Johnny} Um yeah, I’ll go next, ok so, I don’t need to do this though, you already saw on what I purchased, you was there . You was there when I had that fight with the work employee .

Reggie} Oh yeah that thing, well alright then, but you can still show and tell us about what you bought, cause we can learn about different movies and topics, can we ?.

Johnny} Yeah, but who wants to learn about this shit, you’re only gonna sit down and end up in deep thoughts . Might as well just do both, you’ll learn about that, that’s for sure . But anyways, I bought the whole entire Karate Kid trilogy, I have already seen all three movies but I just wanted to buy it and watch it again, cause when your name is Johnny, you just can’t resist it, so here I am .

Steve} Wait, but what is the Iluminati Kid, what the hell is that, I’m so confused, someone please guide me through the process .

Ponyboy} Oh for god sake, Stevie, it’s called The Karate Kid, not The Iluminati Kid, what the hell is that ?.

Reggie} Pony, just let Johnny explain it .

Johnny} Right so basically, it’s about a boy called Daniel Larusso and he moves from New Jersey to California and he gets bullied a lot by a group of boys who appear to be students from a karate dojo called Cobra Kai which is hosted by a sensei called John Kreese, then he just deals with issues like bullying, but then he meets a guy called Mr Miyagi, he teaches him karate and Daniel learns to defend himself against the bullies . It’s an amazing movie, it’s a phenominal masterpiece .

Steve} Ah ok, I get it now, I get it .

Dallas} Ok so, the DVD that I have chosen, was called CaddyShack, and I have no idea what it’s about, but I bought it anyway .

Steve} So why did you buy it if you have no idea what it is ?.

Dallas} Uh, because it looked interesting, that’s why, I know that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but you’re gonna choose something that looks cool, you’re not gonna choose something that looks like a depressing serial killer documentary, aren’t you ?.

Steve} Wow ok, that’s a great way to put it, bravo to you . { Starts clapping}

Ponyboy} Woah, what the hell is going on ?.

Reggie} Nothing, ok, does anybody else want to show each other on what they got ?, Steve, do you want to go next ?.

Steve} Yessss ok, I guess I’ll go next, ok so, I picked out a blue ray DVD of Carrie .

Ponyboy} Oh wow, what a surprise ?, I thought you forgot this since it happened, two days ago .

Steve} Uh no, why would I forget about that, once I have my heart set on something, I don’t forget about it, simple as that .

Reggie} Ok well, I’m glad that you found what you were after, cause clearly it didn’t get off to a great start, you wanted me to go to the gas station to get it for you, what was that about ?.

Steve} Well apparently, I had a phase that they sell DVDs in places like gas stations, they don’t just sell food and snacks, they also do other stuff .

Dallas} Nah I don’t think so, cause I went in there myself, I didn’t see one DVD, surely the manager wasn’t crazy, no of course it he wasn’t, because the only person who is crazy here, is you Steve, yeah that’s right, let it sink in .

Steve} Oh shut up, I’m not crazy, if I was to show you crazy, I would, without a doubt . You have seen some crazy people in this world, forget about me, I’m absolutely fine . Like for an example, this dude right here, walked into the DVD store and asked the employee for a blue ray DVD of Tenetemba, like, what the hell is that ?.

Ponyboy} Yo, what are you talking about, Tenetemba is real, I did my research on Google, they say it’s a real movie that has a proper beginning, middle and ending, you may think that it’s nothing . But what is Tenetemba, it’s everything but it’s also nothing, think about it .

Johnny} I don’t understand a word what this dude is saying, can someone use like a Google translator on their phone, it just makes it easier to understand, cause apparently, I don’t understand Greek .

Two Bit} Well I understand him, cause I searched it up and turns out, it’s a movie that was made in 2020, it’s called Tenet .

Dallas} Wow, what a down grade .

Johnny} Right well, now it makes sense, it’s not called Tenetemba, I thought that I was going mad for a minute there .

Ponyboy} How is it called Tenet, what, what, how ?. Cause I swear it said Tenetemba on the website . It had like twenty five rotten tomatoes, Tenet and Tenetemba are two completely different things, how did it think of that ?. I swear, social media is a mystery sometimes, Jesus Christ . Talk about a stitch up .

Reggie} Hoh, never mind that, never mind that shit, what about you making me pay for all your DVDs, what, you think I can afford anything ?.

Steve} Yeah well, you can, you can though, you get paid about thirty dollars for your job, why you struggling ?.

Reggie} They don’t pay me thirty dollars, what world are you in, they pay me about five dollars an hour, how is that thirty ?.

Ponyboy} That’s a drag, that is seriously a drag, nuh uh, hm hm .

Reggie} Yeah well, that Carrie DVD costs me twenty dollars, anyway, what even happens throughout the movie, the chick turns pycho and then she causes chaos, then the next thing we know, there’s sheens of blood everywhere, now, where the hell did Stephen King go wrong ?.

Steve} Well I think it’s a great movie, but you have a right to have an opinion, not everyone likes it, probably because it creeps the movie critics out, sends them flying and their Tv flies along with them, their asses turn inside out, next thing you know, you are scarred for life, por, but it’s a great movie though, great movie, it’s definetely up there with my top five favorite movies with different genres .

Reggie} Oh yeah, I totally forgot, Pony, I bought you a little something, well it’s not really something, it’s things, but like, whilst I was in the DVD store, I couldn’t help but pick something out for you .

Ponyboy} Ooohhh, I love a surprise, what did you get for me, it’s not my birthday, what did you do, you shouldn’t of done anything, you should of kept some money for yourself, you’re always talking about how you are struggling with money and paying the bills .

Reggie} I know but, I make do, it wasn’t even that much, I just payed for three DVDs, along with everyone else’s, but I payed for yours seperate, it was difficult, but you know what they say, ”a little things mean a lot” .

Ponyboy} Oh that’s nice, thanks, ok well, I’m gonna have a look . { Takes the bag and opens it, takes out all four of the DVDs, he is surprised and shocked} ” Holy mother of god, you got me four DVDs ?.

Reggie} Yeah I just couldn’t choose which one, I had like four options, my options were, Bonnie And Clyde, Coming To America, The Outsiders and Big Wednesday, I hope you like them .

Ponyboy} Yeah are you kidding, ” Hope I like them ” I don’t like them, I love them, how did you know that I wanted to have a DVD of Coming To America, it appears to me that you can read minds, we have telepathy . Ah thanks, these are rad, I’m gonna watch it tonight, with a bottle of Soda pop and chips . { Then he finds these package peanuts on the bottom of the bag} ” Oh god, look at this, what the hell, why do they put these in here, they look like marsh mellows made from aspestos .

Johnny} No, those are package peanuts, dummy .

Ponyboy} Yeah but this is not a package though, it’s a plastic grocery bag, looks like they got the wrong end of the stick, nothing new, nothing’s changed, the society at it’s finest .

Reggie} Well maybe, it’s because they are not package peanuts, they are like some sort of materials that they have at the bottom of a plastic bag, it’s nothing special really, you see the same things every day . Oh yeah, I totally forgot, Dallas, whilst I was in the DVD store, I got you a little gift, cause I just wanted to get you something to make it up to you .

Dallas} Oh did you, oh ok, I hope it’s something good, last time, when you got me a gift, you gave me a garden hose, such a waste of a gift, honestly, I don’t even do gardening .

Johnny} Dally, that doesn’t matter, it’s the thought that counts .

Dallas} I know that, but what the hell am I gonna do with a garden hose, it’s just a waste of space, I’m not a gardener, I never will do gardening, never have, never did, never will .

Ponyboy} Just open the bag and shut up, come on, we’re all sitting here, waiting for you to buckle down and open the bag, we’re all getting bored, lord have mercy .

Dallas} Ok fine . { Opens the bag and sees the DVD of Blood sport, has a surprised look on his face, he is starstruck} ” Oh my god, holy crap, you got me a DVD of Blood sport, you didn’t .

Reggie} Yeah I did, I did, cause you know, what happened on the day when we went to the drive in, we watched the wrong movie, which was a total shame .

Johnny} Oh yeah, that was disappointing, we watched that movie about pirates .

Two Bit} It wasn’t about pirates . { Getting fustrated}

Ponyboy} Jesus Christ, Johnny, if you had the job of doing reviews on movies and upload them onto a website, you would nail it. Nobody would want to go and see that movie, they would pass on it, what a great way to destroy the movie industry, it would be like . { puts hand in the air to imitate a graph} All of the great movies, the movies that are well known, then here comes the movie with pirates, { Drops his hand} cullllloooo, flop, massive flop, those sorts of actions will shoot the movie industry down . Not like I agree with you though, it did look like it had something to do with pirates, it had like a massive ship, it’s all in black and white .

Two Bit} Well yeah it’s in black and white, cause it was made in the 60s, the movie was a real life event, this actually did happen back in the day, it was about the first Greek people who came to New York .

Ponyboy} Oh wow, you actually knew what it was about, you actually used your brain for once, god am I proud ?.

Two Bit} Oh shut up .

Johnny} Look, I don’t even know why they had a screening in the drive in, it didn’t look like an actual movie, it looked like a documentary, they had people talking every few minutes .

Steve} Well no, maybe they showed it here, because it was about people coming to New York, that’s why they were shouting ” Amerigue Amerigue ” that’s Greek for America .

Dallas} Oh wow, this guy knows Greek now, that’s impressive, can you teach me the language ?. { Sarcastically speaking}

Steve} Oh shut up, when have I ever spoken the Greek language ?.

Dallas} You just did, you were talking Greek a minute ago, that was definetely Greek, don’t tell me that it’s the secret New York language, oh shit, I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time, why do I speak English when I could of used The New York lanuage instead, hoh, another one bites the dust .

Reggie} Guys, please, please, enough alright, stop talking shit, talking about DVDs, Two Bit, why don’t you show us the one that you chose ?,  cause ,we’re just drifting along like tumbling tumbleweeds, god help us .

Two Bit} Yeah good idea, um so I chose one DVD because I am normal, I didn’t rent out the whole store, that is not the way to go, ok so, the DVD that I chose, drum roll please . { Everybody does the drum roll}

Johnny} Ohhhh, what’s it gonna be, I’m excited .

Ponyboy} Yeah this is so exciting, I can’t wait any longer, just tell us now, tell us .

Two Bit} Ok so, I got a blue ray edition of America America . { Pulls it out of the bag}

{Silence, everybody face palms, Pony kisses his teeth, everybody dreads the moment}

Dallas} Oh god !!!!!!!! . { Everybody freaks out} { It gets cut off}

{ A few minutes on stand by} { with music playing}

{A few minutes later, they start driving again}

Two Bit} Hey you know what, oh look what’s that ?.

Reggie} No .

Two Bit} Can we just .

Reggie} No .

Two Bit} Gimme .

Reggie} No .

Two Bit} Are we taking the short cut ?.

Reggie} No .

Two Bit} Oh look, ohhh, a bird .

Reggie} No .

Two Bit} Look, why aren’t you listening to me ?.

Reggie} Oh I’m listening, alright .

Two Bit} No you’re not, you’re making yourselves look like clowns, you and the whole group . Ok Reggie, I think there’s a conversion . Let’s turn back .

Reggie} No, don’t say anything, don’t say anything .

Two Bit} Ohhh, ok, warden .

Reggie} Shhhhhhh shuttup . You and your ” What’s that, what’s this, what’s that ?” . You’re gonna drive me crazy .

Two Bit} Wow ok, I’m very sorry, I apologize that I was born with a mouth, might as well just chop it off and use some duck tape to replace my tongue, and you would like that, would you ?.

Ponyboy} Look, let’s just turn on the radio, if we’re not gonna talk for the rest of the day, let’s just play some tunes instead, you can’t beat music, the music will do the talking for us .

Reggie} No, don’t turn on the radio, don’t you dare, just make our way back to the office, the more I look at the traffic lights, the more I’m about to go mad .

Two Bit} Hey Reggie, what did you think of that movie that I bought from the DVD store ?, did you have any opinions on it, like what did you think ?.

Reggie} Hoh, you already know on how I feel about it, this face can say a million words, you don’t need context for this situation .

Ponyboy} well, what is your face saying ?, like right now ?, anything in paticuliar ?.

Reggie} Right ok well, I’ll tell you on what it’s saying, it talks a lot, it is saying that it was shit and I would never pay to see it again, that’s what it’s saying, I hope that’s enough .

Two Bit} But why did you hate it though, it was gold, what’s to hate about it ?.

Reggie} Cause it shows the same thing throughout the whole movie, you just see people on a ship, heading to god knows where, it’s pretty much the same thing, it’s about two hours, nothing changes . I already lost all three of my brain cells, in fact, I’ve lost too many brain cells that I got a migraine straight after .

Two Bit} Well I enjoyed it, I enjoyed every minute of it, whatever the movie had to offer, I loved it, by far, one of the best movies ever made in the 1960s, Cape Fear couldn’t even come close .

{ They suddenly spot a camera crew, who appeared to be filming a tv show or a film in the local area, however, the boys suspect that it could be some sort of bizarre activity}

Reggie} Oh god, one minute, someone’s there, but one minute, who’s that with the camera, that’s a camera man, why is he here, that’s weird, man .

Ponyboy} I don’t know, he’s probably going for a stroll in the woods .

Johnny} What the hell, what, but why would he carry a fifty inch camera with him, that isn’t normal, you don’t see this sort of activity in your day to day life, how do you know something bad is gonna go down ?.

Dallas} Jesus Christ, all of you are parasites, when you see a guy with a camera, it means that they are involved in photography, it’s nothing to do with Ghostbusters or some shit .

Steve} How do you know, stuff like this happens every once in a while, once, when I was on my way back from Haggle The Price, I saw some dude with a massive camera looking thing, but it didn’t look like a camera, it looked like a massive kitchen scales, yeah I know right, definetely not normal, I can’t help but get creeped out every once in a while, you think that Manhattan is a normal part of New York, hm hm, think again, this will make you rethink your life choices, why did I have to move here, when I could of moved to San Francisco, just swings and roundabouts .

Johnny} When have you ever seen a camera that looked like a kitchen scale, your imagination must be born free, I’m afraid it’s going in the wrong places .

Reggie} Guys please, just mind your own business, it’s just a camera crew, they’re not harming anyone,  just leave them be .

Ponyboy} Oh you know what, I think I know what they might be filming, I read this post on Instagram and it said that there’s this new tv show coming out in early December, I think it was called The Birds In The Matrix . Yeah I know, I wasn’t quite familiar with the premise of the show but this is what they are recording .

Reggie} The Birds In The Matrix ?, that sounds like a movie though, doesn’t sound like a Tv show, but then again, I don’t see any cast members, usually there’s like a group of actors and actresses, but there seems to be none .

Two Bit} There probably are, but they’re probably in Macdonalds ordering a big mac and an extra large coke .

Steve} Hah, you wanna bet ?.

Two Bit} Yes, I bet you a million bucks that they are in Macdonalds, cause where else would they be .

Ponyboy} You know what guys, I’m starting to think that there are no cast members and they are just filming the birds in the trees instead .

Johnny} Heh ?.

Steve} Birds ?, ah hell nah .

Ponyboy} Well yeah cause, that’s why it’s called The Birds In The Matrix, it’s a tv show about different birds of prey, they wouldn’t have humans standing there, wouldn’t they ?.

Reggie} Well yeah but it’s a tv show though, of course they’ll have actors and actresses starring in the show, who else would they pick ?.

Steve} Well no, they would pick a few actresses and actors, yeah yeah .

{Two Bit talking in a deep voice} ” The Birds In The Matrix, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Drew Barrymore, Burt Kwouk and Roberto Blanco ” .

Dallas} Yeah, I ain’t watching that show, I’m gonna stay clear of it, it’s not worth my time, I’m not gonna watch a Tv show about birds, ain’t nobody got time for that .

Ponyboy} Oh my, everything was going fine until you added on Roberto Blanco onto the list, he is the one I despise, I pity the fool .

Two Bit} Guys, all of you are just wasting time, you see a camera crew and you don’t just sit in your car and watch the world go by .

Reggie} You what ?.

Two Bit} I’m gonna go and check it out, see ya in a little while, I will come back with camera .

Reggie} No mister, you’re not going anywhere, you’re gonna sit in the RV just like everybody else, don’t even think about interrupting the camera crew, you will face the consequences, young man .

Two Bit} Don’t call me young man, I’m not that young, don’t say that, actually yeah I am young, I’m more young then you’ll ever be, you, you sir, you are old enough to be my dad .

Johnny} Oh god, here we go again .

Reggie} Don’t you dare call me old, I am still twenty two, I’m still a teenager .

Two Bit} No you’re not, yeah, you are twenty two years of age, mentally, you haven’t fully grown up yet, you’re still in your toddler years .

Dallas} Twoeeee, just go and do whatever you wanna do, go and do your thing .

Two Bit} Alright will do, I’m gonna head off, I’ll be back, baby . { Then he goes to interrupt the camera crew}

Johnny} Hahaha, Two Bit’s gonna bring us the moneys, the couple a hundred dollars . But yeah, you’re definetely not old .

Reggie} Johnny please .

Johnny} Ok sorry .

{Pony’s read}

” But yeah, we don’t really see a lot of camera crews where we live, and if we do, it’s never really in the streets, it’s mainly in a studio or office ”

{Meanwhile, Two Bit is  goofing around, interrupting the camera crew, just being an all year round joker}

Two Bit} Oh look it’s a camera man, hi camera man, can I have a look at the camera ?.

Camera man 1} Excuse me, are you a cast member, is your name Anxious Akbar ?.

Two Bit freezes} Uh um, yes that’s me, here I am, I am Anxious Akbar .

Camera} Ah great, ok so what I would like you to do is to stand there, in front of the camera and start talking about different birds of prey, we wanna give the viewers a memorable experience, make them say ” Wow ” you know, they’re gonna watch this documentary and they are gonna learn lots about different species and overall just give them a great experience, so are you up for it ?.

Two Bit} Yes yes I am, I’m ready for whatever it is that you want me to do .

Camera man} Aw fantastic, ok well, you’re gonna be on air in about five minutes, we’re just taking a break, doing the makeup and making sure look flawless before the filming starts . Um, do you know your lines, do you have a script ?.

Two Bit} A script ?, um no er, I don’t really know what to do, what, what am I gonna say ?.

Camera man} Oh ok, didn’t you read the email that we sent you ? .

Two Bit} An email ?, huh ?.

Camera man} Yeah, remember I sent you an email, saying that we’re gonna get you to talk in the documentary, I should of sent it you, it probably didn’t go through .

Two Bit} Nah mate, you’re talking shit, I have no idea what you’re talking about, what email, you idiot ?.

Camera man} Look, I don’t know, ok, you probably didn’t get the email and that’s fine, but we can sort something out, but now that you are here, I think we better get started .

Two Bit} Oh ok . { Starts getting uncomfortable as he stands there, looking nervous}

{Two Bit’s read}

” Right so, apparently, I have to star in this documentary, which may sound amazing to some, but not to me, I am not documentary material, I don’t look like an experienced person, I don’t look like a model, as far as I’m concerned, I look like a homeless version of Dean Gaffney, I’m don’t suit Hollywood, I can work in Trader Joe’s, as far as I know ” . How the hell has this occurred ?. All I was doing, was wandering around the set which appeared to have cameras everywhere, then I go and walk up to them, cause that’s the first thing you do, you can’t just sit in the car and mind your own business, so I did so, then guess what happened, some weird camera dude grabs my attention, tells me stand in front of the camera, starts making up bullshit about emails and scripts, and I’m like ” What ?” the whole time, he thought I was Anxious Akbar, Jesus Christ ” .

{Next scene, the boys are waiting in the RV, still hearing nothing about Two Bit, they’re losing their cool but they are trying to keep sane, however, it’s not working for Reggie}

Reggie} Oh for god sake, you know what, where has this lunatic gotten off too, Jesus Christ, I should of just kept him in the car, I should of known .

Ponyboy} Where has even ended up ?, surely he can’t be too far away .

Reggie} Not far away ?, not far away ?, haha, you bet .

Johnny} You know what, I think he might of stopped by at the um, what’s it called, the er, dollar store, that’s it, the dollar store, do you think he might have ended up there ?.

Reggie} Why the hell would he have ended up at the dollar store, why is he there, is he mad or something ?.

Johnny} I don’t know, he always goes there, he says he goes there because he needs to find tools .

Dallas} He’s got tools, oh shit, he’s got tools . { Turns around}

Johnny} Yeah, he only goes there sometimes though, I wouldn’t blame him though, this is really really really boring, there are people out there, getting on with life, buying paint and planning to re decorate the house, then we out here, staring at trees and seeing if the sky changes color, such a drag, and believe you me, if I stare at the sky just one more time, I swear I’m going to go mad .

{Silence}

Steve} Hey guys, who wants to play a game ?, how about we play a game of .

Everyone} Nooooooooooo .

Steve} G, ok, wow, the atmosphere in this car has really changed .

{Reggie’s read}

” We’re waiting in this van, I’m losing my cool, I feel like I’m about to explode, if I have to stay in this van any longer, I am going to summon a vampire and steal it’s genes, then next thing I’m gonna do is, bite the hell out of each other. But whilst I try to keep myself sane, I’ve just got one question and that is . ” Where is Two Bit ?, god knows, he can be in, he could be in a garbage disposal, as far as I know and my question is ” How the hell has he ended up there ?” And if he has ended up there ” How long is left until he makes it back to the van ?, Jesus Christ, arghhhhhh ” .

{Next scene, Two Bit is talking in front of a camera}

{Two Bit’s read}

” Right so apparently, I know a lot about birds, in fact, I know so much, that I received a roll in a nature documentary, that is something in a half, I don’t know why I’m doing this, I should be in the car, with everyone else, another one bites the dust, now I gotta do this, there’s no way of escaping ” .

Two Bit} Are you sure I’m standing the correct way, am I even in shot ?, please tell me .

Camera man} Yeah you’re fine, you’re a little out of focus but it’s should be fine, when ever you’re ready, you can start saying your lines, you seem to be fine with the other stuff .

Two Bit} Ah alright then . So what do I talk about ?.

Camera man} Just start talking about birds, it can be about anything, anything that is related to mother nature, this documentary is gonna be a hit, I’m telling ya that .

Two Bit} Yeah .

Camera man} Well go on then, talk, I haven’t got all day, this is what you wanna do, isn’t it ?, you signed up for this, what, you wanna quit ?, is that what you wanna do ?.

Two Bit} Um no, no no of course not, this is my dream, I’ll do whatever I’m told, that’s the whole point .

Camera man} Good ok, well, you have thirty seconds to make up a good speech, don’t mess this up .

Two Bit} Ok cool. Birds are cool, birds are very interesting, birds are very intelligent, I can go on forever . Sometimes, we forget that birds are not just creatures, they can also be a man’s best friend . I once got attacked by one on a roller coaster, that moment will haunt me forever .

Camera} Cut cut cut !!!!!, stop right there .

Two Bit} What, how did I do, how did I do ?.

Camera} You were absolutely spot on until you started talking bullshit about a bird on a roller coaster, no one wants to hear about that, what person would have the audacity to watch this ?.

Two Bit} I don’t know, I have a very good friend of mine who loves this sort of stuff, my youth worker, peh, he can watch this shit all day, he goes bat shit crazy every time a nature documentary is on, trust me, he’ll be invested in this .

Camera man} Cool . Ok so, this friend of yours, would he want to come and replace me ?.

Two Bit} Wow ok um, we’re going there now .

Camera man} Well yeah, if that’s ok, I hope I’m not bothering him at the moment, is he at work ?.

Two Bit} Uh no, he’s not at work, he retired a long time ago.

Camera man} Ok well, I suppose that you’ll send him over for me .

Two Bit} Yeah alright, but just a warning, um, he can be a bit hard to work with .

Camera} Hard to work with, oh no, is he ?.

Two Bit} Yeah, but there’s no worry at all, he’s just very ambitious and power hungry, it can often to lead to fights and a lot of violence .

Camera man} Oh dear .

Two Bit} Yeah, so do you still want him or ?.

Camera man} Well no, of course you have to bring him here, you don’t want to do it, so .

Two Bit} Right ok well I’ll just go and get him for you, I’ll be right back, I won’t keep you waiting .

{A few minutes later, Reggie is standing next to the camera man}

Reggie} What the hell, why am I here ?.

Camera man} Hello sir, your friend sent you down here, you’re gonna be involved in a small project .

Reggie} Oooo a project, what project ?.

Camera man} We’re gonna get you to talk in our documentary, how’s that ?.

Reggie} That is amazing, what is the documentary about, gardening, music composing, cooking, councilling ?.

Camera man} Uh no no no, none of the following, I’m afraid it’s gonna be based on something much better . We’re gonna be making a documentary about nature .

Reggie face palms} Oh my god . First of all, why did Two Bit send me down here, I know nothing about nature .

Camera man} Your friend has been saying that you are a big fan of nature documentaries .

Reggie} Oh, you believe him, especially if it’s coming out of his mouth, it’s garanteed to be a lot of shit .

Camera man} Do you have any knowlege on birds and nature ?.

Reggie} Do I look like I know anything about nature ?, I don’t even know why blue jays are blue, good luck with getting me to do a nature documentary, you won’t get anything out of me .

{Reggie’s read}

” Jesus Christ, I can’t wait to see Two Bit, cause when I see him, I’m gonna kill him, he just sent me to the camera crew, now they found me, now I gotta do this nature documentary, I don’t know a thing about nature, ok right, I do know a few things but I’m not clued up, I don’t know all the different types of birds, the only ones I know is a pigeon and a duck, that’s it, I just know that I’m gonna get thrashed when they make this documentary, the indisury will go out of business, people are gonna be face palming and they’re gonna wish that they bleached their eyes, when my segment comes on. First of all, I don’t even know why he chose me, he should of chose Johnny or Steve to take my place, but what’s done is done, now I gotta go on air and try not to piss the camera crew off ” .

{Next scene, it shows Reggie talking in front of a camera, he is trying to keep calm but inside, he is raging}

Reggie} I know so much about birds, I know so much, all of the birds are gonna be dead meat, because I have no idea what I’m doing . Are you sure this is fine, I don’t want it to look like those videos where the guy is filming himself the whole entire time . Why can’t you just film me, then record the birds straight after .

Camera crew} Be quiet, you’re scaring the birds, we need them to stay here, cause if they fly away, then there’s no point, isn’t it ?, the birds and creatures are the stars of the show, it’s not just you .

Reggie} That’s charming, what a great way to boss everyone around . { Sarcastically}

Camera man} Right, I think that you are ready to film the next scene, are you ready ?, do you know what your next scene will entail ?.

Reggie} My next scene ?, that was awfully quick, that didn’t last long. I have no idea what my next scene will involve, it’s obviously gonna be about birds again, my next scene won’t involve a thing or two about music .

Camera man} Yeah, you pretty much know everything, so I think we should get started. So if you could just stand there, get into position, don’t keep looking away cause that’s a distraction .

Reggie} Oh for god sake . { Then he gets into position, looking at the camera}

Camera man} Ok and, action !! .

Reggie} Hi, my name is Reggie Mustafa Bancroft and I am a bird watcher, I am the first person to ever pet a duck . My job is very interesting because I just get bonoculers and watch birds flying in the air and sometimes in trees .

Camera man} Go on, good, now tell the viewers about different aspects of nature, tell them about how nature makes you feel . Like say stuff like ” Ohh I love nature, I love weather, I love birds, nature’s my friend ”, what would I do if none of them came back to me ? ”, stuff like that . This documentary piece will look better with enthusiam, let’s like glamourize it, let’s glamourize everything .

Reggie} Ok fine, I got it, I got it, ok . Where is Humpfrey, I can’t find him anywhere .  I’m dying of sadness, god help me .

Camera man} Great, now say something else .

Reggie} I lost my parrot in the war . Hhhhhhh, Don’t you dare, tilt the camera upwards . You’re a snake in the grass, man .

Camera man} Ok now tell them that you are willing to find him .

Reggie} Oh my god, what am I, a pirate ?, ay ay, timble da be, da ne ne da na de de, do what you want as a pirate or free, you are a shilver, you are a shilver . { With a very thick accent}

Camera man} Great now, smile, tilt your shoulders back, look confident, that’s it . Now you are properly prepared .

Reggie} Oh shut up, this isn’t a yoga session, and you are not my teacher . What do you want me to do next, do you want me to put my right hand in and my left hand out, then just shake it all about, then do the hokey pokey and turn around .

Camera man} Enough, enough, I will not tolerate any negitivity, I only tolerate positivy here, we get the job done and we move on . We’re not here to get shat on by new commers .

Reggie} Yeah sure, sure you don’t . If you wanna look for positivity, go hunting in a forest, you’ll find the right amount, but don’t come to me if you want some .

Camera man} Excuse me, sir, can you just do your thing, start talking in the documentary, I haven’t got all day, you know ?, this isn’t tea time . I need you to do just one more thing . I want to be expressive, I want you to be enthusiastic about this subject . Overall, no one is going to watch this documentary if you are standing there, mumbling a few words and being grumpy about everything . They’ll want to have someone who they can look up to .

Reggie} Well no, no one’s gonna watch this anyway.

Camera man} Look sir, can you please just start now, and also, I want you to stand upright .

 

Reggie} Oh my god, how much do you want ?.

Camera man} Shhhhhh, carry on talking about nature, I’m gonna get my pay check tonight, sixty seven grand in the bank .

Reggie} Well, from my prospective, I think that nature is good because it can improve our mental health, a few minutes outside can do you the world of good, especially if you are locked in all day . The economic studies coming from the university of Harvard, are saying that nature is a good cause, Scientists are saying that a few minutes in a garden or just outside in general will do the world of good for millions of young people across the globe . So, this is coming from a fifty five year old man, mark my words, if we need to improve the mental health of many young and old people across the globe, we need to have more outdoor activities for kids, to learn about the aspects of nature and as a youth worker myself, I know the long term affects of mental health, so take my word for it .

Camera man} Wait wait, cut cut !! .

Reggie} Oh for god sake, is there anything wrong, did I go off the rail again ?, cause if I did, I won’t do it again, I promise, never again .

Camera man} No no, it’s nothing like that, you see, it’s just, you keep getting the dialogue wrong. You had a great start, talking about the mental health in young people, which was quite a good thing since you wanted to get your message across, which is fine, but you see .

Reggie} Oh, you think my script is no good, oh so you are a script writer, you write scripts, welcome to Bollywood, if you wanna get a job in Hollywood, this isn’t a great start, this isn’t the right place .

Camera man} But in the beginning, you said that you were a bird watcher, then you said that you were youth worker, what was that ?, you have one job, you can’t be a bird watcher and a youth worker, you can only be one thing .

Reggie} Yeah, and you can’t be a camera man and a director at the same time, you ain’t any different, don’t try and undermine me, cause I always win .

Camera man} Whatever, just do that scene again, this time, just say that you are a youth worker, ok, action !! .

Reggie} Hi, my name is Reggie Mustafa Bancroft, I am a local youth worker, I deal in the mental health of young people in the city, as an avocate of mental health, I have been thinking ” would it be easier if I got people to ingage with the outdoors more ?” then I said ” Yes ” cause mental health is very important and as a youth worker myself, I advise more young people to spend more time outside, whether it’s a garden or a public park, it doesn’t matter, but if you get any form of activity, you have done your bit and it will do you the world of good . Creatures are important, nature is important and we need nature now more then ever . Now, most people I know will just dodge the idea of spending time outdoors and they’ll just say ” Affff, forget it, I don’t need it, I’m fit and healthy ” but what they don’t know is that there are millions of young and old people who might benefit off of it . Exercise doesn’t just mean losing weight and gaining strength but also, it plays a big part in your mental health, a few hours outside saves millions of lives across the capital and that is excellent, so it’s all about what you can do to keep people fit and keeps them in a state of mind . So, what can we do, we have to do something, what we could do is persuade more people to get active during these trying times and make sure that more people get active this year . This is Reggie Mustafa Bancroft signing off, goodbye .

{Camera man clapping}

Camera man} Wow, now that is so much better .

Reggie} Aw great, is this the finishing scene, am I done now ?.

Camera} Um yeah, just one more thing .

Reggie} Oh god .

Camera man} No no, bare with me, so I just wanna say that you did great, I think that you definetely made progress in your speech, but um, my only problem was, that it sounded like a commercial .

Reggie} Heh ?.

Camera man} Yeah, it sounded like one of those things on the tv where it’s like a charity, begging for people to step forward and give money to them, that wasn’t exactly what I asked for, but fair enough, fair enough .

Reggie} Well, I’m not dumb, ok, I work in councilling and I watch those things all the time, it sounded nothing like those charity commercials, been there done that, oh my god, what am I doing, talking to you, you’re like a muppet .

Camera man} Heh, what did you just say ?.

Reggie} I said that you are a muppet, you are hilariously dumb, you’re the sort of person who would believe that you exist then the next day, you don’t believe it . Listen, man, just because you hold a camera for a living, doesn’t mean that you are smart . Trust me, I work in the frontlines, I help people for a living, of course we need people like you in this world . We need theatre and tv during these trying times in this helter skelter society, but if we are talking about people like you, it is utter disgraceful . Man comes in all shapes and sizes, if you wanna be in this position, you do you, but you are gonna be trouble when you make your way through this world .

Camera man} Well, that is charming .

Reggie} Mmmm hmmm, yes it is charming .

{Reggie’s read}

” I’m sorry but, I had to, I couldn’t control my anger any longer, this is what happens when you put me with a man who thinks differently, man comes in all shapes and sizes and he is one of them. Honestly, what the hell was he thinking . If you are gonna get me to talk in a documentary, this is what you have to deal with, I’m sorry but, what you see is what you get, he is a person who doesn’t deserve extra, whatever I give you, you take it and work with it, I can see how that might be misconstrude cause normally, I am a nice person, I’m a nice guy, but sometimes, if you take a look around you, you will see that there are millions of stupid people out there and if you can’t change them, at least you know yourself really well, cause you have to do everything you can to keep yourself sane in these chaotic times ” .

{A few minutes later, the boys are still waiting in the RV, they are confused on where Reggie is and why he’s taking so long}

Ponyboy} Oh my gosh, Two, why did you send Reggie to work with the camera crew ?.

Two Bit} Cause, what else was I supposed to do, the camera crew, they chose me to do the documentary, I couldn’t stand there and do it, so I did what every normal person would do, I sent Reggie to take my place . I thought that he would be fit for the job, he knows an awful amount of stuff about nature, including facts and other stuff, I could never do that in a heartbeat .

Johnny} Jesus Christ, we are totally in the thick of it, why did you choose him to do it, there are like millions of other people who could of done it, including scientists and tv presenters, there are so many people in this world, why did it have to be him, tis confusion .

Two Bit} I don’t know, the camera man was talking literal bullshit, kept telling me to talk about how nature made me feel, honestly, people are unbelievably stale .

Steve} Actually, I feel like Reggie would be good for the documentary, to be honest, he is clued up, he knows a lot, he can control his anger, he would get on with the camera crew, I don’t see anything wrong here .

Johnny} No, I disagree, cause he can kick off, I don’t think you have been in the room when he starts . Remember, a few weeks ago, before we went on holiday, he started fuming because one of us stole his lanyard, it had his ID and his bank statements in it, when he found out that it went missing, hoh, he lost his shit and when I say lost his shit, he lost his shit .

Ponyboy} I know, but he’s probably more sane then all of us, I mean, he knows how to stay calm, he knows how to have conversations with people, he knows how to handle most situations, I think he would be great for the job .

Two Bit} Oh shit, you know what, oh my god, I can’t believe it .

Ponyboy} What, what happened ?.

Two Bit} I totally told the camera man that he retired from his job long ago, oh, why did I say that ?.

Johnny} Oh geez, why you say that ?.

Dallas} Jesus Christ, out of all the things that you could of said and you chose that . Hoh god, he’s gonna get thrashed .

Ponyboy} Do you know what, I’m getting bored in here, the more time I spend in this car, the more I’m gonna go crazy .

Steve} What, what are you gonna do, where are you gonna go ?.

Ponyboy} I’m gonna go to Macdonalds, who’s coming with me, anyone ?.

Johnny} But wait, but what if Reggie finds out that we have left, he’s gonna kill us.

Ponyboy} Look, I’ve been in this shithole for four hours, I’m not gonna stay here for the minimum . { Then he gets out of the RV} ” Well, do you wanna come or not ?.

Johnny} Ok fine, I’ll come but, if Reggie comes back and sees the RV all empty and no one’s in there, then I’m not gonna say a word, just tell him that it wasn’t my idea . { Then he leaves the RV with Pony and Dallas} ” Do you guys wanna come, you’ll get bored very easily, you can get out for a little bit, we’ve been in the car for too long .

Steve} Um no, I think I’ll just stay here, but you guys can do your business and come back when you’re ready, me and Two will be waiting here, doing an update on our vlog channel .

Two Bit} Vlog channel, what vlog channel, I don’t remember making a vlog channel together, what are you talking about ?.

Steve} You know what I’m talking about, remember when we made a vlog channel the other day, we did it in the office .

Two Bit} Are you taking the piss ?.

Steve} No, we made the vlog channel together, but we didn’t actually make it ourselves, PRS did it for us, we didn’t have to do any work .

{Two Bit looks at Pony, Johnny and Dallas}

Two Bit} What the hell is this dude talking about ?, I didn’t understand one word what this guy just said .

Ponyboy} I absolutely have no idea, look, we better get going, Reggie’s gonna come back any minute now, and if he finds out about what we did, then our ass is grass, come on, let’s go . { Then he leaves with Johnny and Dallas}

{Two Bit hovers his head above the window to try and grab their attention, but they have already left}

Two Bit} Pick me up a fillet are fish, will ya ?. Arghh, damn it .

{Whilst, Dallas, Ponyboy and Johnny are in Macdonalds, Steve and Two Bit are talking on a camera, doing an update on their vlog, they take turns in holding the camera}

Two Bit} Hello and welcome back to The Downtown Rats vlog, how are all of you doing ?, that’s great, we’re fine too . Right now, I’m with my good friend, Bick .

Steve} You what ?.

Two Bit} Shush, ok so yeah, I’m with my good friend and we are stuck in my youth worker’s van, the other guys have just popped by at Mac donalds and we are in here, losing our shit .

Steve} Yeah and the youth worker is still not here, he’s still doing a documentary, so basically, the camera crew roped Two Bit in and he had to star in the documentary, but he thought that he wasn’t fit for the job, so after some consideration, he went back and roped in the youth worker instead, now that is some mad shit .

Two Bit} Oh tell me about it, it’s a sick world we’re living in, sick world .

Steve} Yeah, and on a different note, let me show you our bizarre neighborhood, the people living here are out of their goddam minds, you know, at one point, we thought that we were the normal people here, but history repeats itself .

Two Bit} Definetely definetely yes .

Steve} Yeah, and you see that couple over there, the woman and the man, basically, they were roommates .

Two Bit} Oh my gosh, they were roomates . { Makes a face quite close to the camera}

Steve} Yeah. The neighborhood is changing by the minute, the more people we get moving down here in these areas, the more this place turns into a shithole . God knows what New York will look like in about ten years time, only the future knows .

Two Bit} Are we getting any people who are tuning in to this vlog ?.

Steve} Well, we have about ten people tuning in, it’s half the minimum, so many people coming to listen world wide, it’s mental .

Two Bit} Ten, that’s not enough, we should be getting about a million listeners, there must be something that we are doing wrong here .

Steve} Yeah but, who the hell wants to hear about our neighborhood, the people here are crack pot, people want to hear about better topics then that, if you wanna more views, then you’ll have to talk about interesting topics for a start .

Two Bit} Who even named our vlogging channel, The Downtown Rats anyway ?, did you do it ?.

{Silence, they just look at each other and say nothing, Steve slaps Two Bit}

{Steve’s read}

” So yeah, me and Two Bit created our very own vlogging channel, we don’t really post that much, it’s mainly topics about comedy stand up, internet service providings and many more . We called it The Downtown Rats, I honestly have no idea why we called it that when there’s like millions of other names out there . We didn’t actually make it by ourselves, we just had a little help from PRS cause um, they mainly did all the work, cause the government works for PRS so they play a big part in it as well . Actually, talking about vlogging channels and websites, Pony’s brother, Sodapop also has a website / vlog channel . He mainly posts stuff about dating and he also responds to scammers . He once starting dating on Tinder, on his status, he put confusing, for god knows what reason and then his dating profile said ” I’m going to murder you, you bloody woman ” and he also got a reply that said ” You’ll have to hook up with me first ” I mean like, what the hell is that exactly, I think that they were just flirting but what the hell, that’s not flirting, I’m not surprised if he took advice from Dallas, Now we all know why Dallas had problems with relationships between girls, he told him to play hard to get, I’m surprised he still had a girlfriend right after he sent that message out, but yeah no, he is a charming, handsome guy, I’ll give him that . He also has a internet service website called Internet Service Providings . He basically disguises himself as a crazy zumba teacher called MR Gorhan and he scams people without them knowing who he is . Once, when he started an operation on his website, convincing people into buying a faster broad band  from a company, then suddenly he picks up a broadcast from Uganda, he was confused, all you could hear in the broadcast was ” Say hello, MR Gorhaarrrrr ” as soon as that message leaked, he was traumatized and he hung up, he couldn’t sleep for weeks, but oh wow, did I have a good laugh ?, hahaha haha, I basically almost died laughing . Darry had to call a therapist to come and have a session with him, even the therapist had no idea . He tried talking to him and tried to get answers out of him but all Soda said was ” The man on the phone, Mark Datwengae ” Honestly, what the hell was he on about ?. After some consideration, he finally recovered from his trauma, then suddenly, he gets a call from the bank of Uganda, from a guy called Kwango, he was after his bank account details, he just blocked his phone straight after, but yeah, it was hilarious, poor guy though, my condolences go to him, it’s nice to know that he grew a pair of balls but it’s not like I don’t believe him though, there’s some weird shit out there, also fun fact, he also once made an appearance on Fone Jacker, if you don’t know what it is, it’s this show where this guy, he is called Kayvan Novak and he just jacks phone calls, if that isn’t simple enough, then I don’t know what is. But yeah like, he made an appearance on the show and some guy called him on his cell phone and he was having a conversation with a guy named Terry Tibbs, he appeared to be calling him because he wanted to purchase a Rolls Royce, Soda works in the gas station but he doesn’t sell cars or vehicles, so that was strange, but looking back at it now, it was weird to see a good personal friend of mine on a famous tv show, but it doesn’t surprise me cause he wasn’t smart enough to hang up, but Pony watches the programme quite a lot so, it was strange for him too cause he can be proud and say ” Look, that is my brother, that right there, is my brother ” but um, he had it quite hard cause the guy kept stalking him every few minutes, he actually flew all the way to America and knew where he lived, Terry also kept trying to sell him a new toilet, but Soda was like ” No, I don’t want a new Bidet though, I don’t want it ”  and sales person was like ” A brand spanking new bidet for the next man ” and Soda was like ” Noo, go away ” and he was like so annoyed, but yeah, next time you see him, ask him about it because he’s got many stories, but I highly doubt that he would want to mention anything about it, the man’s traumatized  . { Starts cracking up} ” I’m sorry, it’s, it’s terrible, but it’s hilarious, arghhhh . { Stops laughing}

{Next scene, the boys are in Mac donalds, seeing what they are ordering and what they are not} { Pony walks up to an ordering food machine}

Ponyboy} See, see this, double burger, I garantee you yeah, if you eat this, hah, you will, you will drop an epic shit, trust me, you will fly upwards from the toilet seat . { Then he walks off}

{Meanwhile, Dallas is ordering his food, the person behind the camera is a little bit ignorant}

Dallas} Excuse me, excuse me, can I have some service over here, please ?.

Person} Yes, what can I do for you, sir, are you ready to order ?.

Dallas} Uh yes, can I have one cheese burger, one coca cola, a medium fry and one big Desler .

Person} A what ?, what do we have ?.

Dallas} A Desler .

Person} I’m sorry, I don’t understand what Desler is, what is it ?.

Dallas} Right so basically, a Desler is a beef burger, do you have one of those ?.

Person} No sorry, I hate to break it you but, we don’t have them, I’m sure you understand, sir .

Dallas} What, you don’t have beef burger ?.

Person} No, no we don’t, do you want to order anything else to replace that ?.

Dallas} Nooooooooo . { Holds up his fist in front of the member of staff} . Excuse me, do you know who I am ?, do you, do you know who I am ?.

Person} Who are you, sir ?.

Dallas} I’m Starsky .

Person} No you’re not, stop playing games, you’re not Christofsky .

Dallas} Affffffff, that’s it, not doing it now .

Person} Excuse me, sir, do you want to order anything or not ?.

Dallas} Yes, I want Desler .

Person} Affff, forget it, see ya later .

{Dally’s read}

” What the hell was all that about ?, Macdonalds workers at their finest, it is absolutely diabolical, they’re telling me that they don’t have Desler, all the other places have it, the one in California has them, the one is San Fransico has them, why can’t they ?, absolute carnage ” .

{Meanwhile, Reggie is still working with the camera crew, losing his cool because it’s not over yet}

Reggie} Jesus Christ, how long is left ?, if I spend any more hours here, I am going to go mental, what more do you want ?.

Camera man} I’m just saying that we need you to do another segment, cause your recent one wasn’t very good, I’m not saying that it was bad, I’m just saying that you messed it up a little bit, started off alright, then you suddenly just went off the rails .

Reggie} Yeah well, I don’t know what you are looking for, you will never pass the standards, my friend, never, you will never pass the standards, no matter how hard you try. I’m not filming another nature segment .

Camera man} Yes you will, yes you will, that’s what you’re here for, this is what you put yourself up for, if you wanna star in documentaries, you will have to go through the whole process, you’re not here to slack off .

Reggie} Don’t you dare tell me what to do, you’re not the boss around here. I work for the environment in New York City, trust me, you are just a man with a camera, what does that tell you then ?.

{Camera man talks to himself}

Camera man} Arghhhh, I hate my job .

{Reggie’s read}

” Right so, according to the camera man, my segment in the documentary is too commercial like and it sounds like a foundation for a charity. is this just a reason for him to keep me by the set, cause if so, I’m not having it ” .

{ Reggie just stands there}

Reggie} Hoh, hahaha, what are we gonna do, huh, this is very sad, isn’t it, hah, waste of time .

Camera man} Excuse me, did you just say, did you just say that this is very sad ?, right ok, alright .

Reggie} Yes, yes I did, it’s an absolute waste of time . Usually, if it’s coming from a guy like me, I would be generous, regardless of what happens, but I’m afraid I can’t do that, cause you’re making me do stupid stuff .

Camera man} What, how, how in the almighty world is talking about nature on a documentary, stupid ?. Haven’t you ever talked about nature with your friends, have you ever shared a conversation with those who are close to you ?, anyone in paticular ?.

Reggie} You bet I have, I do it about ten times a day, I have meetings with various youth workers who work in the council centers . I barely talk about nature topics, but I talk about other stuff . So if you think that I’m not clued up, you are truly wrong .

Camera man} Oh do you ?, oh ok then, well, what other stuff do you have conversations about ?.

Reggie} Well ok, let’s see, um, I have conversations about the environment, mental health, cause that’s pretty much what I specialize in, cause if it’s not, then what am I ?. But um yeah, I have various conversations with friends, they aren’t really bothered and they don’t want to get involved . The only conversations and activities that the boys will get involved in, would have to include gaming, theatre, Deliverance and god knows what else, so yeah, so really, you see where I’m coming from, you see the experiences and the terrors that I have been through .

Camera man} Yeah well, I think that’s fine . I still think that you will be good for another segment in the documentary, you seem to know your stuff, what are you gonna be talking about this time, satanic cults being on the rise ?.

Reggie} No what, shut up, there’s no way I’m gonna do another scene, I’ve just about had it with you, there’s no way .

Camera man} Yes, there is way, now go and stand in the corner, start saying your lines .

Reggie} Pshhhh, Jesus Christ . Alright fine, but this is the last time I’m ever gonna get involved in a Hollywood project . Nature is great, nature shapes me, nature shapes you, yeah, this doesn’t sound like me at all .

Camera man} No no no, you’re on the right track, just carry on, you’re getting better and better each time, but maybe just, stay on topic, you getting this part correctly, will be your first step .

Reggie} Oh Jesus Christ, forget about this . I’m just gonna go round and round in circles, nothing good’s gonna come out of this .

Camera man} Yes, of course something good is coming out of this, we haven’t even started yet, we have to go through the whole process .

Reggie} Oh what, nothing good’s gonna come out of this, as far as I’m concerned, the only good thing that will come out of this, is your pay check, a pay rise and a pat on the back from your boss, that’s the only thing that will come out of this . But what about me, huh, what do I get ?, no achievements, no appreciation, the only thing that I will get is a stare from my friends saying ” Oh, look who made an appearence on tv ” and what am I gonna say, I know what I’m gonna say, I’m gonna look down on myself and mumble ” what are you doing, Reggie, what are you doing ?” . So I’m not gonna do that, cause I’m smart enough to walk out of this opportunity and give it to someone else who needs it the most . So thank you, fellow camera man, thanks for the opportunity to take part in sprewing information in a nature documentary, I did everything I could do, now it’s time for me head off and go back to the job that I was given .

Camera man} Wait, you still have a job ?.

Reggie} Well yes, of course I do, didn’t anyone tell you this ?.

Camera man} Well no, someone told me that you retired long ago ?.

Reggie} What, that is total bullshit, who told you this, a passer by ?, who told you that I retired ?.

Camera man} It was a young man, he appeared to be wearing a vest that had a photo of a cartooned mouse on it, does he ring any bells ?, does anyone come to mind ?.

Reggie} Well yes, come to think of it, he sounds very familliar, yeah, I think I know what you mean.

Camera man} Yeah yeah, a young man, goes by the name of Anxious Akbar .

Reggie} Goes by the name of who Ahar, I’m sorry, this must be a huge misunderstanding, I don’t know anyone named Anxious Akbar, looks like you got the wrong guy here.

Camera man} No I’m afraid that this is no misunderstanding, I talked to the guy myself .

Reggie} This is total bullshit, this is a proper masculine coppout .

Camera man} Yeah well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re gonna have to find this man, you’re gonna have to get into contact with him .

Reggie} Oh hell no, I’m not getting into contact with anyone, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to leave you to it .

Camera man} No sir, you’re going to do it, you’re supposed to do as you are told .

Reggie} Ok listen, butt man, I hate to break it you, but if you keep me here for more then two hours, then I’m afraid I’m gonna have to tell your manager, or even worse, a punch in the face .

Camera man} Look sir, please ok, the more time we’re wasting, me and you are gonna age, we’ll probably be about seventy if you don’t make a move .

Reggie} Oh ok well, there’s just one thing I need to tell you . So, it’s been on my mind for these last few hours . Right so, pshh, how can I break it to you ?.

Camera man} What is it, sir ?, if it’s not important, I’m not interested, is it important ?.

Reggie} Yes, of course it’s important, you dumb ass . Ok so, the person that walked up to you, it wasn’t a guy called Anxious Akeltar .

Camera man} What, then, who was it ?.

Reggie} It was a guy named Keith, he’s one of my friends, I work with him . Who the hell told you that his name was Anxious Akbar ?.

Camera man} I honestly have no idea . There was some other guy was supposed to be talking in the documentary, god knows where he is, but Jesus Christ, when I see him, huuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh . But yeah, would it be ok if you got into contact with him, he was supposed to make his way down here, but there’s no sign of him, do you think you could do that for me ?.

Reggie} Uh uh, I ain’t getting into contact with no man, I’ll be an absolute tool if I go along with this .

Camera man} Oh come on, man, it’s a quick job, you just have to go and talk him, it will be sorted .

Reggie} Where even is this Anxious Akbar ?, is he in the dry cleaners, is he in some cave ?.

Camera man} No nothing like that, he should be in Mac donalds, taking his lunch break, I had a phone call with him earlier this morning, he said he was there, having his lunch .

Reggie} Mac donalds ?, oh hell no, I’m not going there, this is just garbage .

Camera man} No, can you just do it, it’ll take the weight off my shoulders, he needs to get his ass down here, if he doesn’t, he’s in real trouble .

{Reggie sighs}

Reggie} Ok fine, I’ll go and find him, but just remember, you pissed me off quite a lot, you made me talk shit, you kept doing the takes, it all lead to absolute nothing . Camera man, I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again, you’ll never work in Hollywood again . { Then he walks off}

{Next scene, Reggie is in Mac donalds, trying to search for the wanted person who’s supposed to be taking part in the documentary}

{Reggie’s read}

” Right, so according to the camera man, Anxious Akbar is in Mac donalds, eating big mac and sipping on soda pop, I don’t even know what this guy looks like, he’s probably gonna be some guy with a massive monobrow and like flairs that like go down to your knees and I’m gonna have to talk to him, why the hell did I agree with this, this is not like me at all ” .

{Then he walks around and tries to find the person, walks five steps and sees a guy sitting down in the corner of the room, the person had a perm and massive eye brows}

Reggie} Oh Jesus Christ, that’s him, hoh my god, now that is a perm, it’s mental . { Walks up to him and sits down on a nearby chair} ” Hi, are you, are you, um, er, pshhhh .

{Person looks at him like he’s mad}

Reggie} Um oh my god  !!!, hah, er, are those chinos, wow, they look cool, almost like flares, isn’t it ?.

Person} I’m sorry, can I help you ?.

Reggie} Uh yes, I’m just looking for a guy called Anxious Akeltar .

Person} It’s Anxious Akbar, yes yes, I’m right here, you’ve come to the right place, so, what do you want from me ?.

Reggie} Well um, you see, your camera man who is doing the operation in making a nature documentary and they casted you to talk in it, so he’s concerned because you’re not there at the set and he sort of needs you there to start filming your scenes .

Person} Oh right ok well, I’m just gonna be here for five more minutes and when I’m ready, I will make my way down there, but if he asks you, just tell him that I am on my way, is that alright, sir ?, I hope I’m not interrupting you in any way, if I am, I sincerily apologize .

Reggie} Yeah no it’s fine, it’s absolutely fine, I’ll just go down there and tell him the news, ok well, I better get going, it was nice knowing you, take it easy, yeah ?.

Person} Cool, it was nice knowing you too, thanks for gathering up your courage to come up here and tell me, I understand the craziness, I worked in the indistury for two years, I understand on what a tricky man he can be sometimes, he’s only interested in getting his pay check and going home, that’s the only thing he’s interested in, but it made it so much easier in coming up to tell me what’s going on, cause there’s just too much, too much going on .

Reggie} Yeah no, he was just getting on my nerves, but here you go, I done it, now surely, he can’t make me do anything else other then that . But anyway, I gotta go, see ya later . { Then he gets up and leaves the table}

Person} See ya .

{Reggie walks out}

” Uhhhhh Jesus, Anxious Akbar, bloody Anxious Akbar, bloody camera man ” .

{The director starts asking him questions during Reggie’s read}

The director} So, are you angry, how are you feeling about this situation ?.

Reggie} Of course I’m angry, I’m furious, I’m gonna go mad, that’s all I can say . I just feel like killing someone but I won’t do that, cause I don’t want to get arrested, so I’ll just keep calm and carry on . That son of a bitch wanted me to go and get a man who looks like the terminator and wanted me to send him to the camera crew, that is absolutely ridiculous, I have nothing to say to that, I have no words, the only word I have is a good punch in the camera man’s face, making me do stupid stuff, who does he think he is ?.

The director} So, what are you gonna do now ?.

Reggie} ” What am I gonna do now ?, what am I gonna do now ?” I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do now, I’m gonna go and get the heck outta here, I’m gonna go find the boys, cause I have no idea where they are, tried calling them hundreds of times, no response from any of them, let alone a text to keep me posted on where they are, they have to be in the car, cause if they’re not there, then I don’t know where else . But you hear that, you hear that sound ?, yeah, that’s the sound of freedom, that’s the sound of escaping from a film set that messed me up massively, I’m glad to be out of there, I’m born free, whooooo . But just a reminder, if you don’t see any sign of me in these next upcoming days, I want you to call the police . I don’t know where I am, I feel like this is Riverdale road, cause I’ve been here before, but at the same time, I probably haven’t, all I just see is trees and a road sign, it just says Riverdale road, that’s all it says, I don’t know, maybe I’ll hire a cab or something .

Director} Have you ever travelled by Uber before ?, if you have, what’s the hottest uber driver you’ve ever had ?.

Reggie} Um, I never went to Uber Java . { It’s supposed to be uber driver, but we pronounced it as Uber Java} ” I don’t know what that is, can you even call a cab down here ?.

Director} No I don’t think you can, you know, you’ll have to find another way to get out of this place .

Reggie} Wow, oh for god sake, see this is what I really needed on a day like this, there’s no cab, there’s no car because it’s stuck in some wasteland, also, you guys don’t have a truck or a car or any form of transport . Way to go, Reggie, you dumb, thick, piss wizzard . { Stands there with his fist on his forehead}

{Next scene, the boys are in an arcade, playing some games and having a go at the gambling machines, Two Bit is on a rodeo horse, Dallas is betting on a motorcycle race, Steve is having a go on one of the claw machines, Pony and Johnny are having a go at playing on one of those dance games, where you have to step on the colored tiles on the floor and there are flashing lights and music playing, they are having a ball}

{ Shows Two Bit on a rodeo horse and he is having fun}

Two Bit} Whoooo hoooo, yeahhhhhhhh, giddy up, whooooooo . { While he is wobbling and spinning around everywhere}

{ Then it shows Johnny and Pony playing an arcade dancing game together, they are jumping}

Johnny} Jesus Christ, don’t step on my foot, you have plenty of space to jump, stay over there .

Ponyboy} Shut up, don’t tell me what to do, you have plenty of space as well, don’t try and undermine me . { it shows their high score, it says 300}

Johnny} Woah, high score, we got three hundred, yay yuh, good game, dude, good game .

Ponyboy} Yeah, I still feel like we could do better though, I reckon that we can get 1000 next time, what do you say ?.

Johnny} Yeah totally, I bet you five hundred dollars that we can get even higher, what about 1. million .

Ponyboy} Deal .

Johnny} Deal .

Ponyboy} Ok so, let’s just try again . Oh shoot, it says we need more money to carry on, have you got ?.

{Johnny checks his pockets for any cash}

Johnny} No, nothing, man .

Ponyboy} Oh darn it. Oh one second, I know where I can find quarters . { Looks behind him}

{A few minutes later, they walk out of the arcade, Steve is fuming}

Steve} You used all my money ?.

Ponyboy} Well yeah, where else was I supposed to find cash, there’s no ATM machines in this area .

Steve} Yes, they are ATM machines here, we just walked past one on our way to Mac donalds.

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, come to think of it, there was, oh damn it .

Steve} How much did you even take ?.

Ponyboy} Oh, it wasn’t that much, don’t worry about it .

Steve} Oh phew, thank god for that .

Ponyboy} I spent about five hundred dollars .

Steve gets angry} You what ?.

Ponyboy} Well yeah, I spent five hundred because I had a reason .

Steve} Huh, what, what was the reason ?, what was the reason ?, what was the reason ?.

Ponyboy} I just explained the reason .

Steve} What was the reason, bitch, what was the reason ?.

Ponyboy} Ok fine, Shall I tell you the reason ?, do you wanna hear it, are you sure ?.

Steve} Yeah, I wanna hear the reason, you made a hole in my wallet all for a pointless arcade game .

Ponyboy} It wasn’t pointless, it was really fun .

Steve} Yeah well you just jumped around for two hours, trying to get a high score, that is truly pointless, you know I have to keep some money for food to survive on .

Dallas} Oh, come off it, it’s done now, anyway, do you know where Reggie is ?.

Johnny} I have no idea, he should be back by now, he’s been away for about five hours now, I’ve lost count, do you think I should go and find him ?.

Ponyboy} No don’t, the camera man might rope you in, thinking that you are Luther Vandross .

Johnny} The hell, why would he think that ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, it’s a weird out there, once, someone thought that I was Leo Sayer .

Johnny} Who the hell is that ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t know, just don’t chance it, anything can happen, it could happen to you, you or you . { Points at everyone} So just don’t take the risk .

Dallas} Uh Pony, don’t you think that you are being too harsh on him ?.

Ponyboy} No not at all, if anything, I’m warning him, if he ever gets jumped or ends up in some deep shit, he’ll know what to do, you never know, it might save your life one day .

Steve} What, somebody mistaking him for Luther Vandross, you are out of your goddam mind, you are talking a lot of bullshitty shit, now shut your trap, before I get a migraine .

Johnny} Well, I have to find him, cause god forbid, he did an application to go work at Mac donalds, he’s like the damsel in destress .

Ponyboy} Nah, does he look like the sort of man who would serve a customer, some French fries, that is toxic masculinity, I mean, the man works in an office for god sake .

Johnny} Yeah well, do you really think that Reggie is suddenly turn up out of no where like, ” Can I get a woah wowowowowwwooo ?” . No, a hunded to one, that is impossible, I’m gonna have to go and find him, cause otherwise, one of us will get our head kicked in, I did not come to Manhattan for this .

Dallas} You came to Manhattan anyway, there’s no reason for it . Anyway, Pony, you’re talking a lot of bologne, of course Johnny won’t end up getting roped in by the camera crew, they have already taken two of us, we are the only ones who are left, if the camera crew finds one of us as well, then we’re screwed .

{Silence}

{Johnny mumbles}

Johnny} Hey Pony, why did you say that I look like Luther Vandross ?.

Ponyboy} Because you do, you are a spitting image of him, I can’t even tell the difference between the two .

Steve} But wait a second, Luther Vandross is black, isn’t he ?.

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, my mistake, can I tell you who you really look like ?.

Johnny} Oh please, I, don’t talk shit .

Ponyboy} Shut up, you don’t even know what I’m gonna say yet, hold your horses .

Johnny} Yes I do, you’re gonna say something shit, because anything that comes out of your mouth, is a hundred % shit !!, Ok, I don’t want to hear it, if you say that I look like Luther Vandross one more time, I’m gonna kick your ass so badily that you will be able to see out of your butt hole .

Ponyboy} Yeah, but it’s a compliment, it’s a compliment though, he makes rad music, why are you so offended ?, it’s nothing to get offended by .

Johnny} Yeah but that’s not the thing though, the thing is, is that I’m not him, I’m Johnny, who the hell is Luther ?.

Steve} Oh I know, I know who Luther is, it’s his biological son .

Johnny} Oh shut up, Roberto Blanco is your biological son, how about that then, ay ?.

Dallas} What so, we’re gonna call each other names now ?, is this what we’re doing ?, ok then, I love a good fight, just show a bit of tension next time, this isn’t enough .

Ponyboy} Look, can we just behave ourselves, Reggie’s gonna come back any minute now and when he sees us fighting, then we’re all gonna be in his office having a negotiation over who did what, let’s just be quiet for the next few minutes . Hey Steve, do you still have those chicken nuggets ?, I’m starving, man .

Steve} Oh yeah, they’re right here, they’re getting cold, you’re supposed to eat them while they’re still hot .

Ponyboy} What so like, burn my mouth, wow ok, I can see that you have become a mum, have you ever considered on applying to be a nanny or a child minder ?, cause if so, get on the ladder .

Steve} Oh please, just eat the damn food, otherwise I’ll let you starve the whole day, do you want that ?.

Ponyboy} Um no of course not, that will be terrible .

Steve} Well then, I’m glad you think that .

{A few minutes later, everyone is in the car, still waiting for Reggie to turn up, but there’s still no sign of him}

Ponyboy} Hey guys, you know what, I watched this crazy documentary, last night, when I tell you about it, you’re not gonna believe me .

Johnny} What movie was it ?.

Ponyboy} Right so, it was about this man who can beat box, but instead of using his mouth, he used his voice box.

Dallas} What the hell, how is that even possible ?.

Steve} Are you sure that documentary was real ?, it doesn’t sound legit.

Ponyboy} No, listen to me, Stevie, that documentary was about as real as a pegesas, it was on at about ten pm at midnight .

Steve} Wow, that’s mad, that is, did it have like a title and like those um, credits, what, like a real documentary ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, it did, it actually show cased all the names of the people who were involved in the production, it was mad, I’ve never seen someone move their mouth like that, honestly, it was por, it was something else .  Like, that guy could play Africa by Toto using his voice box, it sounds like a kazoo, but watching it, made me think that I could do the same .

Two Bit} No you can’t, there’s no way you can beat box, convince me otherwise .

Ponyboy} That is so stupid, of course I can, if he can do it, then so can I, you know, anything is possible if you put your mind to it .

Two Bit} Yeah but perhaps, he was made differently, maybe he was built for it, he probably practised for that skill, just because you watched something, doesn’t mean that you can do it aswell .

Ponyboy} Yeah, says the man who does stand up comedy in his basement, someone who is also a Dave Chapelle wannabe, don’t try and pave the way, you’re no different .

Two Bit} Oh hell nah, how do you even know that I do stand up comedy in the basement of my own home, do you secretly peek through my curtains at night, do you stalk me, if so, I’m calling the feds .

Ponyboy} No, I don’t stalk you, I watch your stand up comedy videos on your vlog channel, you keep posting the same thing, you keep ranting about how Burger King doesn’t have any whoppers and how you can do the fandango . I typed a few comments in the comment section bar and I waited for ten weeks, not one thing you send me back .

Two Bit} Yeah well, man’s busy, man’s got his own life to live, I can’t be bothered to open my laptop, log in and then respond to your shitty comments . I have received over 100 comments on my recent video, that was the um, Cosco ready whip rant, and I got over 100 comments on it, all of them were from a various snapchat group called Kuruft, then I realized that it was Pony, I thought it was a mob, why you gotta do me like that ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah well, you don’t even respond to the original snapchat group, that’s why I changed it to Kuruft, I had another one but it was shit, I wanted to spice it up a bit . What is Kuruft ?, it’s everything but it’s also nothing . But you know what, we’re rambling on and on and on, we were literally talking about the beat box documentary and we suddenly leaped onto this conversation, what are we doing ?.

Johnny} Yeah, do you know what, I actually saw a similar thing on You tube, where this guy is like an Elvis impersonator and like, Jesus Christ, he looks so much like him as well, you wouldn’t actually be able to tell the difference cause they are so identical, but like then, he started singing and he had the same voice as well as the tone, it was actually messing with my head .

Steve} Really ?, that’s sick .

Johnny} Yeah like, people are actually starting to think that it wasn’t an impersonator and like, Elvis is actually still alive, but I don’t know, that’s just a rumor that’s been going around, but like, there’s a chance that he could of faked his death, cause of like, the paparazzi and that, but the truth is left untold . Apparently, It’s a cover up, nobody knows about anything .

Dallas} I highly doubt it, why did the information leak all over the media then, of course he passed away, everyone’s still stuck in their own little bubble, they need to shut their mouths and open their ears, cause this is the real world, it’s none of the imaginary bullshit .

Johnny} Yeah but, you never know, it’s the signs, it’s the signs .

Dallas} No but, this is bullshit, do you wanna know how I know it’s bullshit, it’s because he didn’t fake his death, his cause of death was health related, he died of a heart attack, he just died there and then, he didn’t disguise himself as Misses Doubtfire, he didn’t take part in a cop chase, like you see in those crime dramas they have nowadays . And anyway, right after they made money off of their new album release, why would he want to hide from the paparazzi ?.

Two Bit} Um, it’s probably because he didn’t want to be filmed by thirty five journalists with cameras, maybe they wanted to spend their million dollars by themselves, overall, they deserve to have their own personal space, it’s not easy being famous, I’ll tell you that, I’m telling you now, they don’t choose for the fame and the limelight, they are the chosen ones .

Dallas} Yeah that’s true in some ways, cause it drives you mad sometimes, but, I’m gonna have to agree to disagree with you on that one . I still think he was sick, partying to hard, my guess . But how comes you think that Elvis and his band mates were hiding from the paparazzi ?.

Two Bit} Well no cause, so many famous people do that, it’s very common, I’m telling you now, he isn’t dead, he’s just hiding somewhere, or he could be on a Hawaiian beach somewhere, drinking some kind of Pina colada .

Dallas} Yeah but, you’re getting this all mixed up, I don’t even understand, you’re not talking about Elvis, you’re talking about Britney Spears . She hid from the paparazzi, Elvis didn’t, my god, your brain, yeah, is end game, it’s end game . You should get it checked out every once in a while . When your brain is dead, when your brain is like that, it’s not healthy . I honestly think that he died because of the heart related issue, I mean, do you know how it feels to eat five hundred hamburgers all at once, and it’s also deep fried in oil, that’s not like the regular intake for a normal human being . I mean, I have tried eating a hundred hamburgers at once and believe me, who even eats a million hamburgers these days, it’s not Homer Simpson . Why are we even talking about this, surely we have other things to do . Shit like this just goes over my head .

Ponyboy} Hm, is it though, is it ?.

Dallas} Well yes, yes it is, it is, is it, yes it is .

Steve} Jesus Christ, stop talking about that shit, no one’s got any evidence, don’t jump to the conclusion so fast, my friend . I swear, all of you must be sick, we have been wasting two hours, talking about Elvis, god, haven’t you got anything else to talk about, seriously, and there’s still no sign of Reggie, Jesus Christ, there’s nothing better then keeping your RV far away from you, with five crack pot nut cases in the vehicle, slap bang in the middle of an empty road . And possibly in a field . For god sake, what did we do to end up here in the first place .

Johnny} I honestly have no idea, we ended up here for no reason what so ever, or perhaps, in the words of Reggie ”  Life takes you wherever, you don’t choose to do it yourself, life does it for you, it’s an absolute pain in the ass ” .

Dallas} Couldn’t of said it better .

Johnny} Yeah, who knew that Reggie’s famous quote would still resonate with today .

Steve} Yeah it’s mad if you think about it .

Ponyboy} But yeah like, the beat boxing documentary was life changing, I actually learned how to beat box myself, it’s actually very simple, you just bite your tongue and make these really weird sounds .

Johnny} No, come on, man, you don’t need to do this today, you’re gonna drive us crazy, this is enough as it is, you don’t need to beat box as well, it’s not gonna work, it’s gonna be a massive flop, I’m telling you .

Ponyboy} Afffff, that’s it, not doing it now, it’s shit .

Steve} No, Johnny, shush, let him do his thing, he wants to do it, he thinks that he is the cream of the crop, let him go for it .

Ponyboy} Thank you, Steve, ok so, one minute, I need to get the notes in the right order . { Takes a deep breath and then tries to beat box} Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh ” . { The sounds}

{ Everyone looks at him weird}

Two Bit} Bless you . { Thinks that Pony sneezed}

{Ponyboy starts coughing}

Ponyboy} Woah, km hm, yeah, I think I’ll need to practice it a little bit more . But yeah no, it sounds great, doesn’t it ?, that one is my specialty .

Steve} Yeah, it sounds good . { Lies}

Two Bit} Oh do you know what, that was something else, that was music to my ears . What else can play ?. Can you do anything ?, can you do anything ?.

Steve} No, just don’t give him any ideas, whatever you do .

{Pony tries it again, starts coughing}

Johnny} Woah ok, that’s enough of that for one day, Reggie should be back soon . { Tries to stop him} { They all sit on their car seats}

Ponyboy} Hey, do you know what, I’ve actually always thought on how people can do that, it’s crazy, I don’t even believe it myself, if I ask myself, I garantee you, that I can play Heaven Is A Place on earth as well, do you think I can do that ?.

Steve} Pony, stop talking shit, sit down .

Ponyboy} G, ok fine, I’ll sit .

{Next scene, the boys are still waiting in the car, they start talking about other weird stuff}

Johnny} Hey, do you know what, Dallas, I bet you, a hunded dollars, that I can beat you in a fight, what do you reckon ?.

Dallas} Hah, me, haha, no chance, I’ll knock you down in a heartbeat, you wouldn’t survive your time in the ring, I’m just gonna go up like that, bang, you’re on the floor, you know what I’m saying like, you wouldn’t win .

Johnny} Yeah wow ok, I’m gonna have to disagree with you, cause I’m good at fighting, I once had a fight with one of my high school bullies, he had no chance, knocked him down with a punch, didn’t even have to do any kicking, but yeah, that happened in the play ground, so the concrete made it more severe .

Ponyboy} Jesus Christ, what did he ever do to deserve it ?.

Johnny} Well, he was being a right old jerk, used to say that I can’t even play basketball . He used to be like ” Hoh, look who it is, Jonathon, what does he think he is doing with that ball, he can’t even score any hoops if he tried ” I was having none of it, I was bored of seeing his stupid face, the dude looked like a homeless version of Rick Flair, so I was fuming, so I punched him in the face, he fell flat on the concrete floor, I went home, laughing .

Dallas} Wow ok, I don’t think that I’d want to get in the middle of you, you’d knock my tooth out, or worse, you could break my arm, but that was like five years ago, a lot has changed, you’re like twenty five now, there’s no way you could have kept it with you, after all this time .

Johnny} Yeah well, you should of seen me with Steve, hoh, I almost ripped his face off, but luckily, Reggie stopped us, he always says all this bullshit about treating each other with respect, saying that violence is not an answer, but usually, if you punch someone in the face, then they know, not to do it again, whatever they did wrong .

Ponyboy} Yeah. You do know how to throw a few punches though, that’s for sure . Hey, you know what ?, I actually have a history of fighting in my dad’s side of the family, so basically, my uncle used to be a MMA fighter back in the 80s .

Dallas} Woah, a MMA fighter, now we’re talking .

Ponyboy} Yeah, so he used to wrestle other fighters in the ring, his name was, Fiery Francis, well, that was just his screen name anyway, but he used to be an all round champion, he had four medals, one was bronze, one was silver and the other was gold . But he used to end the fight with just one punch .

Dallas} Woah hohoho, that’s crazy .

Ponyboy} Yeah I know right, that’s some mad shit, I sometimes even wonder where I get it from, my uncle is the answer, I mean, I never really had any severe fights with anyone but still, you know ?. It’s the genes, it’s the genes, I’m telling you .

Steve} Yeah, how is your uncle, is he alright ?.

Ponyboy} Don’t you ever talk about my uncle ?, no shut up, you’ve ruined it .

{Then suddenly, they spot someone running in the road}

Dallas} Hey, hey hey hey, no running, get out of the road, Jesus Christ, people these days .

Johnny} Oh my god, is that Patrick Swayze ?.

Ponyboy} No it’s not, you dumbass, have you seen him, he looks nothing like him, he looks like tramp .

Johnny} Oh my god, wait, is that your brother ?.

Ponyboy} My who ?.

Dallas} Wait, come to think of it, that is your brother, what’s he doing round here ?.

Ponyboy} No clue . Anyway, just look the other way, act cool .

Dallas} No wait, let me handle this . Hey, Arrel . { Shouts out the window}

{Pony hits him and starts whispering} You Fucking idiot, oh my gawd .

Ponyboy} You bring him over here, I’ll kill you .

Two Bit} Oh I know Darry, he’s a generous dude, he made me a vegimite sandwich .

Ponyboy} Yeah, then the next day, he complained that you ate all the food, he said that he wants to sell the fridge .

{Pony’s read}

” Oh god, right so where do I start, um, so my brother, Darry is a phycopath, I mean, I know that he’s my brother in all but he’s crack pot, one time, he chased Soda with garden pole, yeah, don’t come back from that, and rightly so. But yeah, he is a loony, everytime I go in the kitchen to make myself some breakfast, he prances around the room with a saucepan, almost looking like he’s about to bonk one of us on the head with it, I’m just lucky that it didn’t get to that point yet, and hopefully it doesn’t . Soda is the only sane one out of all of us, the only thing he’s interested in is going to work and receiving his pay check and that’s it, but at least he doesn’t do anything else . Seriously, if Dallas calls him one more time, I’m gonna karate chop him in the ass ” .

Ponyboy} Oh Jesus Christ, he knows what I did, he knows what I did, he knows what I did, oh god . { He mumbles and shouts as he tries to navigate the car to try and get away}

Johnny} What, what did you do ?.

Ponyboy} I threw his Franco Columbu workout tapes in the trash, oh my god, he’s gonna kill me .

Steve} Why does he have to use that, why can’t he just use the Jane Fonda workout tapes, her stuff is so much easier and she doesn’t force you to stand on a plank of wood whilst you do squats .

Ponyboy} No no no no no, he’s not using the Jane Fonda workout tapes, my brother, Soda tried it once, he woke up the next day in a grumpy mood, I asked him what’s wrong, he said ” I don’t know, man, it’s the Jane Fonda workout tape, it’s a piece of crap ” and I said ” Why is it a piece of crap ?” and he said ” it’s just a woman showing you how to twerk your ass off ” so he just put it in the trash . But you see, this time, it’s different because, it’s Darry, he has a completely different mentality, he has the audacity to punch someone in the face, even though no one did anything to harm him .

Johnny} Woah, seems like you have a lot on your plate .

Ponyboy} Yeah, I do have a lot on my plate, oh do you know what, we’re both feel like crud, let’s have a chat, haha, no thanks, enough with that bullshit, I don’t need a heart to heart, but the only thing I do need, is some time away from this weird man, I can’t drive away cause otherwise, he will pull out a mega phone and shout his lungs out, that’s gonna be shit, cause then, it’s gonna look like The Hunger Games and it will be even worse if you have four maniacs in the car . You have one guy who thinks that he is posing as the real mecoy, then you have one dude who looks like he just walked out of the Harry Potter universe, then you also have a guy who looks like a pineapple, there you go, I labled you all of you, I gave all of you names, you’re welcome .

{Everyone just looks offended and they just make faces}

Johnny} Whooo, I did not come to Manhattan for this .

Dallas} Oh god . { Face palms}

Ponyboy} Hey, you know what, I think I know how to get away from this guy .

Steve} What, how, how are you gonna get away, are you gonna spin around and do some donuts ?.

Ponyboy} No, I’m gonna drive round the corner, look the other way and then, he’ll soon just walk away .

Dallas} Surely, that won’t work, he won’t walk away, you need to go through the process first, this is the real world, things don’t go the way you expect it to go, you drive round the corner and find out that this guy is the cheif police, then the next thing we know, bang, five year sentence in jail . You wanna go down that route, alright, alright .

Ponyboy} That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard, I’m not gonna get you guys arrested .

Two Bit} That’s what she said, haha .

Ponyboy} Yes, that is what she said . I’m gonna find a way to get out of here, cause I’m not staying here in this shit hole, with Reggie vanishing like the fifth sense and my brother, wandering around in the streets, looking like he just insulted a grocery store owner, or whacked the owner on the head with a banana, ok, it’s not happening, not happening .

Johnny} Right well, you do know that he is right in front of us, don’t you ?.

Ponyboy} Oh shit, is he ?.

Johnny} Yes he is, turn around, look at what you see .

{Two Bit starts singing Never Ending Story by Limahl}

Two Bit} In her face, a mirror of your dreams, make believe I’m everywhere, given in the light . Oh what, we’re not singing now, oh shit sorry, I thought we were singing Never Ending Story, hahaha, my bad .

Ponyboy} It’s fine, just act cool, just look the other way, he’ll probably just walk away . { Then they look away, he walks away} ” Ah phew, he’s gone, he’s gone ” .

{Then suddenly, he appears once again, he walks up to the car}

Ponyboy} Ohhhh Christ !!!!!! . { Shouts} ” He’s here, he’s here, { Talks to himself} ” ok ok, Pony, just act cool, have a normal conversation, like you always do when you’re at home. { He takes a deep breath and tries to talk to him} ” Hi Darry, how you doing, are you alright ?” .

Darryl} Yeah . { Stares at him}

Ponyboy} So, what are you doing down here, are you just in town ?.

Darryl} Yeah .

Ponyboy} What do you have there ?.

{Darryl holds up the object so that he can see}

Darryl} Oh it’s just a brick in a pillow case . {

Ponyboy} Oh forget this . { Then he tries to bend over to sit in the driver’s seat and tries to steer the car himself}

Johnny} Yo, Pony, what are you doing, man ?.

Ponyboy} Getting away from this nut case . { Puts his seat belt on a tries to drive} { Darryl runs in the back round, the boys try so hard not to agnoledge him}

Steve} Do you even have a driver’s license ?.

Ponyboy} No I don’t, I don’t need a driver’s license to get away from a lunatic, I’ll let myself off on this occasion .

{Pony’s read}

” And yeah, if anyone comes for me, saying that I’m not allowed to drive without a license, I don’t give a damn, you don’t know what it’s like to be in a car with four maniacs and to be on a highway with my crazy brother running in the street with a brick in a pillow case. I’m not even that bad of a driver, I learned how to drive when I was sixteen, most people in different countries might even faint at the sound of the idea but in America, it’s different, we learn how to drive between the age of fifteen and sixteen, it’s crazy to think about it, but yeah, I’ll let myself on this occasion, but if I scratch up Reggie’s car or if I slash his tires, then don’t tell him that I did it, I’ll just blame it on some random guy who tried to park his car and ended up crashing into his, yeah I think I’ll do that, there are so many stupid people here in Manhattan and I can blame anyone, I’m actually kind of great full for the that, cause where are the dumb people when you need them ” .

{The car swerves down the road really fast, the boys in the back of the car are going crazy and panicking, Pony is going through a phase}

Ponyboy} Let me take care of this, let me take care of this, let me take care of this, I’m gonna drive away !!! . { Sings that part}

Two Bit} Whooo, whoooo, Jesus Christ, man, who taught you how to drive, Michael Phelps ?.

Ponyboy} Oh shut up, you probably can’t even drive as well, don’t try and undermine me, you’re on the same page . I’m great at driving, I used to do drag racing, but I got banned .

Dallas} Oh really, what happened in the history of your bad / good driving ?.

Ponyboy} I don’t have a good / bad driving history, it’s all good, there’s no bad in it . It’s just a long story, the more time it will take me to explain it you, the more we’re all gonna be bored off our asses in the most worst possible way ever, I think, probably, if I give you the details, then it’s gonna be instant regret .

Dallas} Yeah well, tell us, we all want to hear it, we’re all sitting here, being accompanied by your bad driving phase, the minutes are passing like clockwise, why don’t you just tell us ?, I wanna hear it word by word .

Ponyboy} Ok now you sound like a legitimate phychopath, talking to me like that, are you sure you wanna hear it word by word, are you sure, are you sure about that ?, cause if you choose the wrong option, then you’re in trouble, so are you positive that you wanna hear about it, cause once I tell you, then there’s no way of unhearing it .

Dallas} Jesus Christ, what is this, Death Wish, just tell us, you’re just talking shit, it’s not gonna be anything but you crashing the car and getting put in jail, obviously, this isn’t gonna be a mafia car chase story, cause I live for that shit, but if it’s coming from you, it’s obviously gonna be boring as hell, what do you think is gonna come out, what, some, some old lady running out, chasing you with a rolling pin and beat you to death with it, Jesus Christ, you’re so delusional, if only if you had an interesting life story to tell, earlier, you told us about the history about your uncle, saying that he was an MMA fighter in the early 80s, that was some of the most facinating shit I’ve ever heard, coming from a boy like you, it’s interesting, then you’re coming with your bullshit about a car chase, that’s just shit, honestly .

Ponyboy} Ok fine I’ll tell you, ok so, once, when I was about sixteen, I learned to drive, never got a license, but that didn’t give me a reason to give up and live my whole life without a car of my own, so I got a car, a nice little Volvo, not too big, not too small, perfect size, so one morning, I decided to take it out for a ride, so I did, I put my seat belt on and put my hands on the steering wheel, I got the engine going, I started navigating the car, then suddenly, to my surprise, I see a neighbor in the window, she opened it and started calling my name . I was like ” What the hell does she want from me ?” so I walked up to the house, she started having a conversation with me, she kept saying ” The council, the flipping council, building shit houses ” so I was like ” Yeah I know but, what can you do ?” then suddenly, some guy comes in, stands next to her, I had no idea who he was, the pretty much looked the same age, it was probably her husband or something, but I didn’t dive too deep into that . Anyway, so he comes in, starts talking to me, and the lady was like ” Oh, meet me husband ” and I was like ” Oh god, here we go again, same shit ” so then he was like ” Hello, you got job yet ?” and I was like ” What the hell ?” and he pulled out a baseball bat and held it up in front of me, I was shitting myself, I just wanted to leave, so I did, and I got in the car and drove off, The End .

{Everyone just looks weirded out}

Steve} Wait, but what has that got to do with cars and your driving experience ?.

Ponyboy} No it was something to do with cars . { Suddenly realizes that he told the wrong story} ” Oh, what, you wanted to hear about the story where I learned how to drive ?.

Dallas} Yes, what story did you think I meant ?.

{Pony freezes}

Dallas shakes Pony about because he told the wrong story, he was supposed to tell the one about his driving experience at the age of sixteen, which he failed miserably, but he got it all wrong, he told the one about meeting the new neighbors in his old neighborhood in Miami}

{Dallas starts shaking Pony}

Dallas} What did you say, what did you say ?, what did you say ?. { Shouts}

{A few minutes later, Pony still tries to navigate the car all by himself, all hell breaks loose, everyone doesn’t know what to do}

Johnny} Dude, I seriously think that you should stop driving, we’re gonna crash, you’re going too fast, we’re gonna die .

Ponyboy} It’s fine, I know what I’m doing, I know my shit, I know more then all the other people here, you see the taxi drivers and the truck drivers, they can’t drive for shit, this is a different ball game, at least I learned at a very young age, the younger, the better, anyway, we’re only going twenty three miles per hour, let’s see what forty five is like .

Steve} Forty five, oh hell no, are you serious, forty five ?, you’re homicidal, man .

Johnny} Oh please, you’re not doing forty five miles an hour, you’ll get us killed .

Dallas} No, you’re getting it wrong, only 100 miles per hour will get you in trouble, forty five won’t, it’s too small of a number . I used to drive at five million miles an hour .

Johnny} And what happened after that ?.

Dallas} I got in trouble with the cops, but it’s fine though, we’re not going five million miles per hour, we’re doing twenty three .

Ponyboy} No, I’m not doing twenty three, I’m doing forty five .

Steve} Oh how the mighty have fallen, I just can’t wait until Reggie comes back, so he has the audacity to stop you in your tracks, you’ve suddenly become that guy who gets possessed by his car in Christine, it represents you so well, it even pains me to say, it’s so accurate .

Ponyboy} Oh shut up, I know what I’m doing, if you think that you can do better, then you can hop in the driver’s seat and take over, you won’t even manage to put your foot on the brakes .

Steve} Oh hell no, I’m not driving that thing, are you kidding me, that’s the last thing you’d want, I’ll have the whole motorway on hysterics .

Ponyboy} Well then, I shall carry on, I just need to find somewhere to park, is there like a parking bay here or something, cause if there isn’t, then we’re stuck, we’re just gonna have to make do, is there a parking bay, Dallas ?.

Dallas} Um sorry, I wasn’t listening, I was caught off guard, I’m sorry, what did you say ?.

Ponyboy} Is there a parking bay anywhere around here, is there like a parking lot in this area, is there anywhere that we can park the car ?.

Dallas} I don’t know, I’m not a traffic warden, don’t ask me, ask Steve, he’ll know .

Steve} What, I don’t know, I don’t know where the parking bay is, why you asking me ?, I’m not that good with directions and that sort of stuff, ask Johnny, he’s got all the answers, he’ll know what to do ?.

Johnny} Whatchi, noooo .

Ponyboy} Right well, it seems like you guys have no idea, so I’ll just find one myself, how hard can it be ? .

Two Bit} Very hard, almost impossible .

Ponyboy} Right, well that’s very helpful, very helpful indeed, how are we gonna find one now, I’m not asking anyone cause they’re bound to have no clue .

Two Bit} I’m just kidding, Jesus Christ, Pony, I was just joking, what, can’t you take a joke ?.

Ponyboy} No I can, it’s just, I can’t even tell the difference between a joke and a truth, I don’t know what to believe anymore . Right well, that’s it, we’re not gonna find a parking bay, we’re not gonna find a parking bay . { Shouts}

Johnny} Pony, what are you doing ?.

Ponyboy} I’m gonna drive the car round in circles, make up for lost time, cause I’m going mad .

Steve} Oh please, don’t start this off, you’re only gonna get the car smashed, who’s gonna pay for charges .

Ponyboy} Hah, Reggie .

Steve} Really ?, Reggie, that’s gonna be the last thing on his mind, he’s not gonna come back after being a scrap with the camera crew and gather up fifty hundred grand for his lifeless car, if you think so, you’re delusional .

Ponyboy} Yes but he can pay it, he can pay for charges to get it replaced, his friend works in a vehicle manafactuers, he will hook him up with a nice new one, it’s easy, fifty grand, fifty hundred grand for one thing . { Shouts, then he carries on driving, he swerves down the road really fast, it’s all chaos}

Johnny} Oh my god, oh my god, Jesus, shit !!!.

Ponyboy} Yes, this is epic, we’re going forty five miles per hour, forty five miles, for, forty five, forty five !!!!!! .

Steve} Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit . { Everyone is bumping into each other in the car}

{Two Bit starts laughing his head off} Hahahahaha .

Johnny} Oh my god, this is a fucking nightmare . Dude, there’s a tree, there’s a tree there, are you serious ?.

Ponyboy} Oh is there, oh shit !!! . Hahaha, my bad . Do you know what, we’re lucky that we didn’t crash into it, cause that would of totally sucked, haha . { Turns around and realizes that everyone had a slight change in mood and they were furious} ” Oh shit, sorry, I’ll stop now, sorry, kmm ” .

{A few minutes later, everything finally calmed down, everyone was absolutely fine, Pony also calmed down after his massive ameteur hour moment in the car, but that doesn’t mean that he stopped driving, he still carried on, but did it in a sensible way and didn’t end up crashing the car}

Two Bit} Woah, woah, hahaha, what, what happened there, oh my, fix it Jesus, that gave us the perfect message to say that you were good at driving, I mean, what did you do at driving school, did you not focus at all, did you drug the driving instructors whilst you took the test, I don’t understand, looks like you failed miserably .

Ponyboy} Look just shut up, ok ?, the driving instructors were planks, they couldn’t even teach to save their lives, so I just bought a car and went, the driving licences are pointless, you don’t need a license just to be able to drive a car, it’s just a stupid piece of paper with writing on it .

Steve} Yeah but, you do need one in order to drive, so you don’t end up in a road traffic accident, the way you were driving, could of got us in serious trouble, but you didn’t, because surprise surprise, you had your head screwed on .

Ponyboy} Look, I’ve just had enough of this shit, where’s Reggie, where has he gotten off too ?, has he ended up in some field, is he on the hunt for a pokiball, did he find the first Komodo dragon, I swear, if he doesn’t come back in ten minutes, I’m gonna lose my shit . { Then suddenly, Steve spots something}

Steve gasps} Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I can’t believe it, I don’t even believe it myself .

Ponyboy} What is it, Steve, it better be something important, cause if it’s not, I’m not invested in any of it .

Steve} There’s a sign, there’s this really cool sign, that is next to the tree, it’s sick, I’m gonna go and check it out . Hold my beer .

Johnny} Ok, pretty much any sentence, starting with ” Hold my beer ” is going to end in a chaotic, epic tragedy failure .

Dallas} Yo Steve, where you going ?, Kowloon ?.

Steve} There is this really cool sign, just park the car here, I’ll only be a few minutes, I’m gonna take a good look at it, bye losers . { Then he gets out of the car and runs to find the location sign}

Johnny} A sign, he’s joking, right ?, right ?.

Ponyboy} No idea, seriously, you see, this is what happens when you bring a guy like Steve on a field trip, he’ll end doing stupid stuff like that, god help us, god help me, me .

{Meanwhile, Steve is having a look at the sign and he is loving it}

Steve points at the sign} Hahaha, check it out , Ridgemont Shit Thorpe Park, hahaha, yes please . { Takes a photo of it} ” Hahaha, legendary, I love signs ” .

{Meanwhile, the boys are waiting for Steve to come back, whilst that’s going on, Johnny and Pony are talking}

Johnny} Dude, you really need to get rid of that mirror, it gives me creeps, move it away .

Ponyboy} What why, what’s the problem with the mirror, it’s not harming you, what did it ever do to you ?.

Johnny} It creeps me out, I don’t know, it’s like, every time I stare into it, I hate seeing the reflection, it’s almost like it’s my evil twin, like it’s there and I don’t trust it .

Ponyboy} That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, how can you be afraid of your own reflection ?.

Johnny} I don’t know, I seriously don’t know, I haven’t a clue, it’s creepy .

Ponyboy} But why though, I kind of like mirrors, cause like, you can look at your own reflection in it and when you cry, it cries with you, it has the same emotions as a human being .

Johnny} Yeah, bare in mind that it’s your face, there’s not two of you, the mirror doesn’t cry .

Ponyboy} I know but still, mirrors can be humans too, if it stays on your wall and it doesn’t fall off and smash, then it means that the mirror is your true friend, I mean, it cries when I make weird faces so, it must be real .

Johnny} Hm, no shit, you make ugly faces, no wonder why it cries, when you smile, you look like Freddy Krueger .

Ponyboy} Hey shut up, I don’t look like Freddy Krueger, see . { Makes the face}

Johnny} Errr no no no no no, stop it, stop it, you look like Freddy Krueger, don’t do it . I’m gonna have nightmares tonight, whoopee .

{ Then, Steve comes running back to the car after he was done, taking a selfie with the sign}

{Johnny leans back}

Johnny screams} Ahhhhhhhhhh . { Face palms} ” Oh sorry, I thought Freddy Krueger was running after us ” .

 

{Steve comes back, he opens the car door and sits inside}

Steve} Yo, you seriously need to go and check out that location sign, it’s such a laugh, Ridgemont Shit Thorpe Park, Ridgemont Shit Thorpe Park, you know ?.

Ponyboy} Oh really, aw sick .

Dallas} What’s all this bullshit about a location sign ?, it looks like it has taken over your life .

Steve} Well, there’s this sign next to a tree, that says Ridgemont Shit Thorpe Park and it’s bat shit crazy, I can show you if you like ?.

Dallas} Nah, do you know what, I’d rather I didn’t, I’ve got more important things to worry about other then a stupid road sign, thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it, thank you, come again .

Steve} Oh ok, don’t worry about it, maybe next time .

Johnny} Ok guys, I think we should get going, you can talk about the sign when we get back to the office . { They all sit back down in the car, it’s all pitch black, all you could hear are the voices of everyone in the car}

Steve} Oh man, that sign was such a laugh, wasn’t it, I love signs, it really made me think .

Ponyboy} Steve, cut it out, stop talking about the sign, it’s getting boring now, you talked about it the first time round, now it’s getting boring .

Steve} Affffff, why though, why you such a mizer ?.

Ponyboy} I’m not a mizer .

Steve} Yes you are .

Ponyboy} No I’m not, not .

Steve} Yes you are .

Dallas} Quiet !!!!!, everybody, shut up, everybody shut the hell up .

Two Bit} Jesus Christ, this is like Punch and Judy, I’m loving it, loving it, loving it, loving it !! .

Ponyboy} Hey guys, look, guess what I have, I found fifty cents in glove compartment in the back of Reggie’s car seat .

Dallas} Really, can I have some ?.

Ponyboy} Oh hell no, why should I give it to you ?, explain all the reasons why I should give it to you .

Dallas} Well, 1, I am loyal, and two, I am gonna spend it on some serious shit .

Johnny} No, don’t listen to him, Pony, he’s only gonna spend it on hasheesh and a box of cigarettes .

Dallas} That’s so not true, so not true, I spend it on leather suits from the vintage clothes store . Give me like sixty % .

Ponyboy} Sixty %, oh come on now, and what do I get in return ?.

Dallas} I’ll give you like four dollars .

Ponyboy} No way hosay, I’m keeping the fifty cents, finders keepers, losers weepers . I’ll count how much I have in total, I’ve got two, wait no, that’s not right, no wait, I do have two, I’ve got two .

Steve} Come on, everybody, stop talking and go to sleep .

Ponyboy} Ok fine, understood understood, I’ll go to sleep, but I’ll just put my fifty cents on the car seat next to me, if anyone takes it from me, I’m gonna kick you so hard up the ass .

Dallas} Pony, shut up .

Two Bit} Whoooo, Reggie’s gonna be so surprised when he sees us asleep in the RV .

Dallas} Shutttttttttttttt .

Two Bit} Ok sorry, shutting up now .

{A few minutes later, it’s morning, and the boys are still in the car, waiting for Reggie, but there’s still no sign of him, meanwhile, Pony is angry because someone stole his fifty cents}

Ponyboy} Who took my fifty cents, who who, tell me, which one of you stole my fifty cents ?, well, one of you has to step forward and open your mouth .

Dallas} I didn’t do it, don’t look at me, as far as I know, it could of been Steve, he was the one who was sleeping on the seat next to you, talk to him .

Steve} What, I didn’t steal it, why are you assuming that I stole it, I didn’t lay a finger on it, let alone steal it, are you sure that it didn’t fall on the floor ?.

Ponyboy} No no no no, I didn’t knock it over, I didn’t, you know, there’s like a massive amount of space to stretch my legs, it’s impossible, it’s impossible .

Johnny} Jesus Christ, Pony, all of this conflict just for fifty cents ?, this is so unnessary .

Ponyboy} Yeah well, unfortunatly, if your name is Ponyboy, then you will care about this situation, I hate when people steal my stuff, and first of all, if anyone steals something from me, like a bag of chips or a snap bracelet, then essentially, there will be conflict, even worse, a foot to the face, nobody wants to get in the middle of me, I’m telling you, this is gang war !!!, gang war !!! .

Steve} Ok ok woah woah woah, calm down, why are you trying to put up a fight, ok someone stole your fifty cents, so what ?.

Ponyboy} So what ?, so what ?, there’s yes what, it just saved me the trip to the bank, I couldn’t just leave it there in the glove compartment, another man’s trash is another man’s treasure and no one ignores something like that, you only leave it if you wanna taste defeat .

Steve} Wow ok, I don’t need a Ponyboy Curtis pep talk. All of this just for fifty cents, it’s not even that much, there’s no need for a Ted Talk .

Ponyboy} Wow, yeah, we should all bow down to the god of stupidity, woah, woah . { Sarcastically} { Starts putting his hands in the air and bowing}

Steve} Hey, cut it out, at least I’m not the one who is arguing because he lost fifty cents, cause I’m normal.

Johnny} Hey guys, stop talking about money and come and check out this dog that I saw in the street, do you know what, I think it’s a Siberian Husky .

Two Bit} A Siberian Husky ?, you find those in Russia, don’t you ?, you don’t see them in America that much, they’re quite rare species .

Steve} Oh god it’s, Fifty Shades Of Dread all over again .

Johnny} No dude, it’s so cute, have you ever seen a shih tzu before, man, that shit is dope, I once had a cat called Bengis, I was like ” Hey Bengiss, you fat lard, come get some dinner” but that’s a different story, I’ll tell you about it another day,ok story time, one time, I was taking a walk in the park and I saw one and it was so cute, I went to stroke it and it suddenly it turned into He Man, fun times .

Dallas} That’s the worst story I’ve ever heard, no shit .

Steve} Oh yeah, that’s the thing, isn’t it, was he the cat you had, until he got eaten by a tissue box dispenser .

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, I was thinking the same .

Dallas} Wow, it was nice to take a trip down memory lane .

Two Bit} Throwback Thursday, oh wait no, today is Saturday, isn’t it, throwback Saturday, no that sounds shit .

Johnny} I told you that I didn’t want to talk about my cat, but here I am .

Steve} Wait, but how did your cat even get eaten by a tissue box dispenser ?, how is that even possible ?.

Johnny} I don’t know, Steve, you tell me, I’m still trying to figure it out myself.

Dallas} Do you think that your dad was possessed, by any chance ?.

Johnny} Possessed ?, oh hell no, why on earth would he be possessed, he looked like a regular looking human being, from where I was standing, but then again, I was only four, so I wouldn’t know which was which, this is a mysterious mystery, it is so unsolvable, it is so unsolvable, that MR Sherlock Holmes won’t able to solve it, I guess I’m on my own here .

Steve} Am I the only one that thinks that his cat didn’t get eaten ?.

Johnny} What, what are you even trying to say, Steve ?.

Steve} Well, I reckon that your cat didn’t get eaten, do you think that it could of just ran out into the garden ?.

Johnny} That’s just so stupid, ran out into the garden, now listen here, Steve, how on Earth can the thing run out into the garden, the tissue box despenser got him, the thing was contaminated, how on Earth could a cat run that fast ?.

Steve} Well, if you think about it, animals are like cadillacs, they can leg it, even if something happens to them, they will always walk it off, trust me, my mom was a vet .

Dallas} Wait a minute, wait a minute, but why would a cat just run out ?, unless of course, you know, something triggered it to in the first place . Your cat is a cat, it’s not a wizzard, ok, it does stuff that fits it’s nature, it’s not gonna go outside and do a moon walk on the front patio, of course it’s gonna stay inside the house, where else would it go ?.

Johnny} You know, this is just, this is just so stupid, why are we even talking about a subject such as this one, I’m not spending my whole entire life, figuring out why my cat left us, well, the tissue box dispensor, my guess, but this is just shit .

Steve} What did your cat even look like ?, did it look like sort of like fang, like long whiskers, sharp claws, a Hitler moustache ?, what did he look like ?.

Two Bit} Yeah, did he look like one of those cats in the TV commercials ?, like those vet campaigns ?.

Johnny} Yeah, he had like fur all over him, he would always leave bits of fluff and strains of hair all over our couch, he would always bring back surprises for us.

Steve} Surprises ?.

Johnny} Yeah, like he would always bring back dead mice and put it in mom and dad’s bed .

Dallas} Ewwwwwwww, disgustang .

Two Bit} I would just move out if I were you, I would set a deposit, sell the house, pay the bills and just go, like, bye bye .

Johnny} But yeah no, he was very cute, I miss him though, but I think it’s better if we just leave the past behind, we’re living in the now, this is the present, not the past, I have better things to think about then a missing cat .

Steve} I’m afraid that things won’t get back to the way they were, but it will get better, I promise .

Dallas} Ok, where is this going, Stevie ?.

Steve} I’m just trying to give Johnny a word of advice, I’m telling him that things are going to get better, what else am I supposed to say ?.

Johnny} Hey guys, I think the dog is walking closer to us .

Steve} When you say close, how close ?, what do you mean by close ?.

Johnny} Uh not that close, he’s just looking at us, oh look, he’s wagging his tail, how adorable . He’s got my eyes . Where did ya come from, fella, where did ya come from ?. { Talks to the dog}

Dallas} Oh shut up, who are you, Ace Ventura ?, when did you learn how to talk like that ?.

Johnny} Who the hell is that ?.

Dallas} I have no idea, really .

Johnny} Hello fella, where did you come from, are you lost ?, are you lost, do you want us to re unite you back with your owner ?.

Dallas} No, wrong answer, he wants us to go away and he wants to sail away on a little boat in Aintree, somewhere where we won’t be able to see our faces .

Two Bit} Oh shut up, Dallas, this dog is so cute, you’re lucky a wild boar didn’t just raid Reggie’s RV . It will take ages to clean that shit up, oh boy .

{Johnny still speaks to the dog}

Johnny} Look he’s adorable. { Picks him up and makes it dance} ” Hey check this out,  Da da da da da de de na na, da de da, dinch dinch dinch, dinch dinch dinch, ” it’s got rythem, Hahaha, I love dogs .

Dallas} Urgh, I think I just threw up in my mouth,  That is the most creepiest thing I’ve ever seen . Don’t tell me what it’s doing. When will it actually stop doing this and actually vanish ?.

Steve} I don’t know, I don’t think we can, wait actually, I might have just the thing . { A few minutes later, he’s standing there with a tissue dispenser in his hand}

Steve} Yo guys, I think I found something, I can totally make it vanish .

Johnny} Oh no . { Turns around} ” What are you doing with that tissue dispenser ?” . { Stands there with his hands on his face} ” Nooooooooooooo !!!!.

Steve} Ehhhh . { menouvers it around the dog}

Two Bit} Dude, easy, easy, don’t attack the thing . Be more gental, for goodness sake, animal cruelty .

Steve} Shut up, I have experience in doing this shit .

{Ponyboy looks out of the window}

Ponyboy} Guys, what the hell are you doing out there, I’m stuck here with confusion, what’s taking you so long ?.

Dallas} Well you see, we’re just out her because, Steve wants to get rid of this dog because it’s beginning to drive us crazy . We’ll be back there in a fort night .

Ponyboy} Are you serious, are you for real with me, Dallas ?, that is not the way to go, I’m not meeting you guys, tomorrow morning, you come back and that’s it .

Steve} Oh come on, Pony, just give us a few minutes, this dog is driving us crazy .

Johnny} Yeah you, it’s driving you crazy, not us, not us, not me .

Ponyboy} Ok fine, just be quick, yeah ?. { Then he leaves}

Dallas} Wow, ok, now where we, oh yeah, we were getting rid of this rat like creature .

Johnny} Um no, it’s not a rat like creature, it’s a dog .

Steve} Right ok, I’m gonna give it my best shot, this dog is gonna be gone, the rest is history .

Dallas} Can you just speed this shit up, I’m not standing here, people will assume that I’m taking a massive leak . Just get this over with .

Steve} Ok here we go, um, right. Ehhhhhhhh, be gone, be gone, my mysterious friend, go back to the forest or something . Ahhhhhhhhhh, shaaaaaaa, ehhhhhh, weeee. { Menouvers it around the dog once again}

Dallas} Ughhhh, god help me .

{ The dog disappears}

Steve} Kowa bunga . See, I told you it wouldn’t take long .

Johnny} Did you, did you just ?.

Steve} Yes I did, I’m quite handy with a tissue box dispenser, I’ve never told you this .

Dallas} Right now, I know the real reason why your cat left you . You were right all along .

Johnny} Yeah no shit .

{ They go back in the RV}

Dallas} Right well, at least, there’s no dog anymore, we can have a bit of peace and quiet for once .

Steve} Do you think the dog fancied me ?.

Johnny} Oh shut up, you’re so deluded, why would a dog fancy you ?.

Steve} I’ve got many reasons, the list goes on forever .

Dallas} Ok well first of all, 1, he is not a dog and second, he is not attractive .

Steve} Oh shut up, I can win anything, any time .

Johnny} Anyway, if the dog was trying to tell you something, it would probably be saying ” I want to bite the hell out of you ” . Only I can understand the language .

Steve} Yeah right, you can’t understand a dog to save your life .

Johnny} Whatever, let’s just sit down and sit in silence . You know what, guys, I bet you hundred bucks that that dog will turn up on my front porch tomorrow morning .

Dallas} Yeah I think so too, nature takes it’s course .

 

 

 

 

Ponyboy} Hey guys, quit talking about kitty cats and dogs and listen to this, I just got a voicemail from Reggie, saying that he’s gonna be back any minute now, so we need to act cool and pretend that nothing happened, do you understand ?.

Johnny} Oh finally, he decided to chime in, after ten hours, or no, he’s been away for three days, I thought the demogorgan got him .

Ponyboy} Johnny, this isn’t Stranger Things, we’re not living in the Stranger Things universe, we’re in the real world, there are no demogorgons or demo dogs, it’s nice to know that you thouroughly enjoyed watching the show but I think it’s time that you had a little touch of reality in your life, always does the job .

Johnny} Pshhhh, ” There are no demogorgons and demo dogs, ehhhhh ” oh shut up, how would you know about such a thing ?.

Steve} Guys, shush, we need to stop talking and think together as a group, Reggie is gonna come back and find us here, having no idea on what we are doing, take my word for it, he has a baseball bat in his cabinet in the office, we all know that he doesn’t play baseball .

Dallas} Right well, if anything, if he sent you a voicemail, then, we have to send him one as well .

Johnny} No, what are you, nuts ?, we’re not sending him a voicemail, what if he finds out that it was your idea, then your ass is grass, bad idea .

Two Bit} Nah nah nah nah, it will be fine, he won’t care one bit, he has a great sense of humor, he won’t take it too seriously, you could smash him left right and center and he won’t even care, the only thing you get in return is a laugh, what can go wrong ?.

Johnny} Yeah but, a funny voicemail is the least important thing that is on his mind at the moment, he has a lot on his plate, I mean, have you seen him with that camera man, oh my god, it looked like he was gonna kill him .

Two Bit} Oh come on, stop being such a fuddy duddy, the world has changed, if five grown men can’t make a mad man happy, whilst gathering our last two brain cells in this RV then maybe we should all just move to Iran .

Johnny} Ok fine, do you know what, we can do the voicemail, but only for one day, if Reggie loses his shit over it, then I’m not blaming myself for going along with this .

Two Bit} Whooo hoo, ok sick, right, what are we gonna do for this voicemail, do you have any ideas ?.

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, I have an idea, give me the phone, I’ve got the best plan in the history of plans, let’s do like a um, random internet scammer prank .

Johnny} Who are you gonna play ?.

Ponyboy} I’ll make it up as I go along .

Johnny} Holy shit, this is insane .

Ponyboy} Johnny, shush .

Johnny} Ok sorry sorry .

{ They all sit there, looking pumped and excited for the prank}

{Reggie finds his phone and taps on the voice mal notification on his phone}

Reggie} Ohhhh a new voicemail, I wonder what that will be, it’s probably one of the work colleages, it’s probably Bob, it’s probably Bob, let’s just find out . { Taps on the notification and the voicemail plays} { You can hear it in the back round but you can also see the gang doing it together as well}

Ponyboy} Hello, Yeah hello, hello hello hello . { Puts on an accent} ” Dah deuhhhhhhhhh, hehhhhhhhhhhhh, wuhuhuhu ” .

{ Back where Reggie is, Reggie stands there, looking confused}

Reggie} What the hell ?.

Ponyboy} Ok hold on, hold on, helloo, pukkkkkkkkkkkkk { Makes an explosion sound} ” Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” . { Then suddenly, Dallas grabs the phone and starts shouting} ” Fuck ” .

{Dallas puts on a different accent}

Dallas} Hello, Reggie, you alright, you’re not bloody back yet?, you leave us alone in this bloody car, hoh my god, you go to hill and go down, making dirt now, Bulgaria . Ahhhhh it’s bloody garbage, man, why, why did you show me this stupid thing ?. You bloody, you bloody, you bloody, you bloody, stupid banchot, you need to put the phone down, put it, put it in the glove compartment, there we go, thank you . Somebody please take this phone and carry on with this bloody stupid thing .

{Johnny joins in and starts singing}

Johnny} We know you’re there, Reg, pick up the phone, Reg, we know you’re there, Reg, pick up the phone, Reg . { Talking fast} ” We’re not gonna take it, no, we’re not gonna take it, we’re not gonna take it anymore .

Dallas} Heyayayaya heyayayaya . { Sings} { Everyone starts laughing their heads off in the back round} ” Please just tell me, please just tell me why, oh tell me vy { It’s supposed to be why but he pronounces it as that} ” Oh Oh tell me, Aldona, reach the sky and do this forever, oh Aldona, will I ever see you again, oh, tell me why oh Aldona, tell me, tell me why oh Aldona .

Reggie} Who, who the hell is Aldona, what ?.

 

{Two Bit joins in}

Two Bit} Good afternoon sir, would you like to buy Doovde ?. { Talks in a different accent as well}

Reggie} Would I like to buy what ?.

Two Bit} Double the price, that’s why they call me Terry Tibbs .

Reggie} You fucking what ?.

{Everyone shouts at the same time} Ahhhhhhhhhh hahahaha . { everyone Starts laughing}

Ponyboy} Hahaha, Jo Momma, hahaha, bye . { Puts down the phone}

{Everyone laughs again, including Pony}

Johnny} Oh that was hilarious, he totally fell for it, do you think he knew that it was us who did it ?.

Ponyboy} Nah, I highly doubt it . { Suddenly, Reggie turns up and is looking a bit cross}

Reggie} Pony, Johnny, Steve, Dallas, Two Bit .

Johnny} Oh shit, this is not good .

Dallas} Oh, look who decided to chime in, you were gone for a good few hours, not to mention that you left us in the car on our own .

Reggie} Alright sorry sorry, I apologize, but the these last few days were chaotic, I mean, there was a camera man, a weird looking guy in Mac donalds and a bizarre voicemail .

{Everyone looks at each other, busted}

Johnny} Oh god, he knows, doesn’t he ?, oh Christ . { Face palms}

Ponyboy} Shush, he’s standing right there, he can hear us .

Dallas} Where were you ?, you’ve been gone for about three days, we were bored shitless .

Reggie} Right well, apparently, the last few days have been utter chaos. Two Bit got me in some deep shit with the documentary thing, I had to run five hundred miles to Mac donalds and back, oh why oh why did I have to get muddled up in it ?.

Ponyboy} Wait, are you serious, why did you run to Mac donalds and back ?, are you crazy or something ?.

Reggie} No, I’m not crazy, that son of a bitch was crazy, he made me run all the way to Mac donalds just to find this guy and let him know that he should make his way down to the set where they were recording the documentary, the man is crazy, he’s lost his mind .

Johnny} What guy, what did he look like ?.

Reggie} Massive leather jacket, massive monobrow, elongated pair of flares, oh wait no, they were chinos, not flares, you see, I keep getting them mixed up, but that’s all I can say, if I give you any more details, I’m gonna look like some sort of a police cheif .

Ponyboy} Right so, jokes aside, did you do the documentary ?, did you gather up the courage to carry on ?.

Reggie} Um, no I didn’t, I walked out on him, the annoyance just got to my head, why the hell did you send me down there ?, oh why oh why did you, what on earth made you think that I was up for the job ?.

Two Bit} Because I thought you were clued up, you appeared to know so much about nature from where I’m standing . You talk about it all time back at your workplace.

Reggie} Oh for crying out loud, you come out with so much shit, do you know that ?. When have I ever spoken to about nature or anything in general ?, when, when ?.

Two Bit} You talk to us about it pretty much everyday, you always mention something about birds, creatures and creepy crawlies, the other day, you mentioned something about installing a tadpole pond in the community garden for all people to see, what was that then, huh ?.

Reggie} Installing a tadpole pond in the community park ?, oh my god, that was only one time, god .

Two Bit} It doesn’t matter if it was only one time, you still said it, it’s done and dusted, I’m not surprised if there is going to be a tadpole pond installed in the community park, I will be waiting for it to happen .

Ponyboy} Wait, I’m sorry to interrupt but, what did you have to do in the making ?.

Reggie} Right so basically, the camera man made up all this bullshit about how nature makes me feel, what more we could do to improve mental wellbeing, I gave every Fiber of my being to that camera man, not one bit was worthwhile, I just wanted to like stick my fist into his mouth, shatter a few teeth, but I didn’t, cause you know, if I did end up doing that, I would of been arrested and you won’t see me working in a city council anymore, you’ll see me in jail, and god forbid, that would happen and that would be a drag .

Johnny} Well all I can say is that, it’s good that you’re not involved with that anymore, you’re here now, and you can be relieved that you didn’t end up beating him up, so that’s a bonus, I guess .

Reggie} Yeah that’s true . Right so, enough of that gobbledegoop, which one of you recorded the voicemail ?.

{Everyone looks scared, it has backfired, a prank turned into trouble, what will happen next ?, will Reggie take it as a joke or punch them, there’s only one way to find out !!!!!}

{Pony points at Two Bit}

Ponyboy} It was him, it was obviously him, it was his idea, he came up with it, case closed .

Two Bit} No it wasn’t, you grass, why you saying that it was me, you’re a snake in the grass, man, don’t listen to him, Reggie, he talks so much shit that you can see it falling out of his ears .

Reggie} Hold on, hold on, I’m not getting anything here, there are too many of you talking at once, one at a time, please ?.

Ponyboy} Right so, basically, it was his idea to send you a voicemail, because his brain needs to be examined .

Two Bit} Bullshit, what a lot of bullshit, honestly?, why would I have the audacity to touch your phone .

Johnny} Jesus Christ, this is an absolute nightmare, the shit hit the fan .

Reggie} Pony, I knew it was you as well, I heard your voice in the back round, don’t play games, I heard you do that voice before .

Ponyboy} No it wasn’t, it wasn’t my voice, your social media got hacked by a various scammer, he’s out there hacking everyone’s phones and electronic devices .

Reggie} Yeah right, I know what they’re like, it definetely wasn’t a internet hacker, what were you guys thinking ?.

Dallas} It wasn’t us, it was a Indian scammer, goes by the name of Mr Gorhan, it’s beyond me how he got your phone number and your birth details .

Reggie} No it wasn’t an Indian scammer, who the hell is Mr Gorhan ?, what the . I knew that it was you guys, you guys did the voicemail just so you could wind me up, admit it .

{Pony stands up and starts shouting}

Ponyboy} Never !!, I will never admit that I was the brain behind the voicemail, I will never tell the truth, it wasn’t me, you know, really, it could of been me, but it wasn’t, it could of been him, it could of been him, it could of been me, but it wasn’t, it was him . { Points at Two Bit}

Two Bit} Hey . { Kisses his teeth with fustration}

Ponyboy} See, I told you .

Reggie} I’m about to go mad here, and you do not want that . All I want to know is, who did the voicemail, you literally put me out of my misery, I was almost about to throw my cellphone into someone’s expensive Jeep, it’s not like I wasn’t annoyed enough already, that voicemail hoovered up all my data alone, don’t tell me that that’s not enough .

Johnny} Ok fine, I’m just gonna step forward here and spill the truth, now the truth may hurt, but the lie will hurt even more . { Takes a deep breath} Ok so, it was my idea, I went along with it, first of all, it was Two Bit’s idea, he wanted to send you a voicemail because he thought that just because you send Pony one, that we also needed to send you one in return, which was stupid but I had no choice, so I agreed, I’m probably kicking myself now but, what’s done is done . We gathered together as a group and put on these accents and voices for a prank call, it was hilarious, there’s absolutely no doubt about it . So I’m really sorry .

Reggie} Heh, ok that’s cool, I guess, that’s not bad at all .

Dallas} So, you’re not mad ?.

Reggie} No, why would I be ?, a good prank is a good prank, you got me good, it’s nice to know that you got in on the game .

Ponyboy} Oh well I guess that it’s settled then .

Reggie} Yeah . Right so, Pony, would it be ok if I could borrow you for a minute ?.

Ponyboy} Um yeah sure . { Then he follows Reggie, to have a chat outside}

{A few minutes later, they are outside, Reggie is having a fight with Pony, Reg is punching and tackling Pony on the floor}

Reggie} You little, you little shit. You think it’s funny, you think it’s funny, huh ?.

Ponyboy} What the hell, you just said that you were fine with it, what, that’s a lost cause ?.

Reggie} Oh yeah, I guess I did, I was just implying it, I didn’t take it personally, it is now going to be a voice message that will be staying on my Dm app on my phone forever, if you don’t get rid of it asap, then I will make you get botcholism by eating raw mushrooms, you want that ?.

{Pony shakes his head}

Ponyboy} Um no no no, of course not, I will make sure that it’s gone .

{Reggie pulls him by the neck}

Reggie} What are you gonna do ?.

Ponyboy} Get rid of the voice message on your phone . { raises his voice}

Reggie} Ok then, good, damn right you will . { Lets go of him} ” I think we ought to get back in the RV ” . { Walks off and then he stops and looks back} ” Well, come on then, are you coming or not ?, you’re not staying here all day, you have to get up eventually ” .

Ponyboy} I’ll follow after you, I’m just gonna sit here for a little while, excuse me .

{ Reggie walks off, starts laughing}

Reggie} Hahahaha, uhhhhhhhhh .

 

{ Pony still lies down whilst Reggie goes back back in the RV} { Pony makes a hand signal to say that Reggie is crazy} { Then suddenly, Dallas spots Pony lying on the concrete, doesn’t say anything but smiles and waves at him, Pony stares at him whilst he looks angry}

{Dallas mouths a few words}

Dallas} Come on then, come on, come on then . { Making hand gestures, telling him to get back in the RV, but he can’t, cause he’s on the floor}

{ Pony mouths}

Ponyboy} I can’t, you, I can’t, this stupid, it’s shit, it’s shit, I’m not going back in there, forget it, you can take over .

{Dally’s read}

” I turn around, walk up to a window, I see Pony on the floor, looks like Reggie tackled the shit out of him, I have no clue, but did you see the look on his face, hahaha, he was fuming, I have no choice but to laugh cause, Pony always tries to look tough and tries to look smart but really, it just never does him justice, cause it always backfires. I’m guessing that this is all about the voicemail, he seemed fine about it, he didn’t give a shit, he actually took it personally . But then, he takes Pony with him, out of the RV, and the next thing we know, you see Reggie and Pony having a smack down, that went vicious very quickly, Jesus Christ ” .

{Next scene, Reggie stands there talking to Johnny about what just happened}

Johnny} What the actual hell just happened ?, what on earth went on out there ?.

Reggie} I have no idea, I just can’t talk about this now, I just can’t, I need a short nap, with no distractions .

Johnny} What, what the hell, where are you going ?. { Reggie walks off, Johnny is left feeling confused}

{The director is asking Reggie some questions}

Director} Right so, what exactly happened a few minutes ago ?.

Reggie} Pardon ?.

Director} I said, what happened earlier, like about the fight, between you and Pony .

Reggie} Oh yeah, right so, while I was away, battling a group of idiotic camera shenanigans, the boys were planning on doing something unbelievably dumb, Johnny was the only person who cared and he was the only one who had his head screwed on, he opened his mouth and spilled the beans, he said that it was his idea to record the voicemail, or whatever the heck he was saying . So yeah, the boys got together was a group to prank me, hoping that I would laugh and dance around the place like some sort of a tipsy jester, but why the hell would I do that, if I did that, I would be labeled as a lunatic, I don’t want my friends to know me for that, I want them to know me for all the hard work I do for the city councils in the city, I gave them every fiber of my being to those idiots. But anyway, they did the voicemail, they were being typical goofy youngsters, like always, but the voicemail made me jump out of my own skin, they put on these voices, I thought that was it, I thought someone hacked my phone, with Pony being like ” Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee ” honestly, I was like done, I thought I was gonna explode, they said it was probably a scammer and I was like ” Nah, don’t be silly ” I knew it was them, I don’t play, so I beated Pony up, but you know, I didn’t mean it, I was just showing everyone how I do people .

The director} So, are you gonna forgive them ?, what do you think is gonna happen ?, are you gonna be able to forget about the past ?, what do you, what do you think ?.

Reggie} Yeah, I think I’ll probably forgive them, fuck it, you can’t be angry forever, we just have to forget about the past, move on, we all have bigger fish to fry, we can’t be mad at each other, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta choose the right choices, if you don’t choose wisely, then you’re gonna regret it, instantly, so what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna have a chat with the boys, I’ll do something to make it up to them, cause what I just did was bang out of order, usually I’m quite calm and I tend to control my anger, but when I have a lot on my plate, I just lose control, but I was quite shocked myself, cause usually, I don’t do that sort of thing, but that’s probably because I have all these books about meditation and phychology, what I would do without them, I don’t know, so I’m gonna apologize and hopefully they accept my apology, if they don’t, then that’s fine, either way, it doesn’t matter, but as long as they know that I didn’t mean it, then that should be fine .

{Meanwhile, Reggie is having a nap on his car seat, Two Bit is having a chat with the boys, deciding whether he should prank him, they are all invested in the idea}

Two Bit} Hey guys, guys, do you know what ?.

Ponyboy} What ?.

Two Bit} I have the best idea ever, listen to this.

Ponyboy} What, what’s your idea, Two ?.

Johnny} Yeah, this better be a good one, cause your recent idea almost got Pony in hospital, this better be good .

Two Bit} No no no no no I swear, this one won’t get us in trouble, you’re gonna love it .

Dallas} Right well, what’s your idea, we’re all ears .

Two Bit} Right ok so, Reggie is asleep, right ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, so what ?.

Two Bit} I’m gonna prank him, I’m gonna set him up, what do you guys think ?.

Steve} Oh, I don’t think he’d wanna, you know, have a laugh cause, the last one got us in a lot of trouble, so do you wanna take that risk again ?.

Two Bit} Oh come on, surely he won’t mind, if anything, he’ll find it funny, I mean, who doesn’t laugh at a prank ? .

Johnny} Uh yeah, there are so many people out there who can’t take a joke, um, there’s Dominos, there’s Papa Johns, there’s um, there’s Taco Bell, uh yeah, there’s so many companies that don’t like a good chuckle .

Two Bit} Oh come on, Reggie is neither of those things, he’s not Dominos, nor is he Taco Bell, he is human being, he doesn’t specialize in serving food, he specializes in mental health, he also has a quote plaque pinned onto his wall that says ” Laughter is the best medicine ” trust me, I’ve heard him say that quote myself, so frankly, he won’t take it seriously .

Dallas} Yeah, he’s actually talking a lot of sense, I think it should be fine, really, compared to the last prank we pulled, nothing can get worse .

Two Bit} Thank you, at least somebody gets me . But yeah, I think it should be fine, do you guys agree ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah I think it would go smooth, however, if it doesn’t work out, then one of you can get the punch in the face, I’ll be long gone .

Dallas} Yeah don’t worry, I got you, I got you, we all have back up plans, pretty much .

Johnny} But wait, I have another concern, what prank are we gonna do, cause it depends, if Reggie has a slight change in mood, it will depend on what prank you pull, if you base a prank on diarrea and the toilet explodes and all of you run around the bathroom like a destressed whirlwind, then surely, he will have a panic attack, but if you don’t do that, and you purposely set the fire alarm off, then he might kill all of you, bury you under the floor boards and put the carpet on top .

Ponyboy} Yeah, I actually didn’t think of that.

Johnny} Yeah see, that’s why you always have to keep your ears wide open, you have to look out for precautions .

Dallas} Yeah that’s so correct, do you know what, you are a genius, why didn’t I think of that, it’s like instinct, isn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah that’s actually quite a good obversation, coming from a boy like you, we rarely have it .

Johnny} Oh shut up .

Two Bit} Yeah, do you know what, let’s scratch the idea of pranking him, let’s just go and do something else with our time, hey guys, come on, let’s just sit down and play a game .

Ponyboy} Yeah good idea, let’s do that.

Johnny} Dude, I swear, if you make us play that game again, I don’t know what will happen, I’ll probably jump off the rooftop of the RV .

Two Bit} We’re not playing that game, we’re gonna do something else, trust me like, the game will have you hanging on the edge of your seat .

{ They sit back down on their car seats, trying to find something to do with their time}

Steve} Right, what are you going to be doing ?, play a game of imaginary checkers, count on how many trees we see, make up painful roasts about each other ?, what are we gonna do ?.

Two Bit} We are going to be doing neither of those things, I actually have no clue myself, I was hoping to plan this before we came on this field trip .

Johnny} Oh, another one bites the dust, how could you have not planned this out, well come on then, we have to think of something, PB mall cop is not gonna climb a wall and save the day, you should of planned this out, not us .

Ponyboy} Right well, this is a drag. Actually, come to think of it, I have an idea .

Two Bit} Oh ok, what’s your idea ?, Mr Blobby ?, huh ?, come on then, this isn’t kiss and tell, we’re all waiting, it’s about six oclock in the evening, the minutes are passing .

Ponyboy} Ok so, as an additional plan to replace Reggie’s lame prank, I had the idea of reading a story, I have a few of them, I already read one of them, which was Fifty Shades Of Dread and that was a cinematic masterpiece, but now, I’m gonna read one of my other ones, which is a story called ” The House Of The Rising Sun ” and it’s a story about phychopathic minds and Greed ” .

Johnny} Oh wow, that sounds great .

Dallas} That sounds shit .

Steve} That sounds crazy .

Two Bit} That sounds like bullshit .

Ponyboy} Yeah so, I have already written one whole paragraph, I’m gonna write the rest on Monday .

Dallas} Hm, good to know . { Sarcastically said}

Ponyboy} No, let me tell you something, boy, you are no significance in this world, you listen to this story and that’s all there is to it, if you like it, then good for you, if you don’t, then kiss my ass .

Two Bit} Wow ok, five star atmosphere, four star treatment, one star welcoming .

Ponyboy} Shush . Right so . Once upon the horizon in a suburban village, there were trees .

{ Everyone makes a face as they already know what’s coming}

The House Of The Rising Sun. { The story about Greed and intelligence}

Once upon the horizon in a suburban village, there were trees, there were people and there was a sun, villagers were always against it because they thought it was a whirling mace, but that was just a rumor and that the villagers were crazy . The massive bright orange sun rose above there eyes . People used to go ” Ahhhhhhhh oh my god no ” they always held hostage. They all thought that the sun would come alive and haunt them, but yeah right, like the sun would be able to hold a pick axe, those silly morons . After the strain of uncertain events caused by the sun, there was a high rise in people getting sent to the mental homes, even the therapists had no clue, what caused them to think the way they do, it’s a lot to be desired . Once, it got so bad that they had to get a swarm of scientists to go and check it out . However, the sun looked harmeless, the people were just dumb morons who needed a punch in the face . one of the scientists made his way down to the area where the sun performs, he looked like he was about to shit his pants, he looked so frightened that even he became the sun, he was screaming ” Go away, you stupid sun ” and he tried to punch it, but instead of the sun disappearing, the heat burned the scientist’s hand, no one ever saw him again . The End .

Ponyboy} And no one ever saw him again, The End .

{ Everybody just sat there, shocked on what they just heard}

Dallas} That was the worst story I have ever heard, who the hell makes an attempt to punch the sun ?.

Ponyboy} The wonders of nature, the wonders of nature, I’m telling you . Nature makes it comeback, it knows on what’s wrong and what’s right, you never get back to the sun, the sun gets back to you .

Two Bit} That’s some of the craziest shit I’ve ever heard . All of you are talking about why someone would have the audacity to attack the sun, but I’m here, wondering how the scientist got up there in the first place . You’d have to have like twenty ladders or something, hm, I have many questions.

Johnny} Yeah it’s crazy, but I guess that’s why the Earth keeps spinning around, it’s stuff like that that keeps it alive, I guess .

Steve} That’s very true, I wonder where you got the idea from, it’s very unique, it’s almost weird in a way, like I can’t explain it .

Ponyboy} Yeah, it’s just the way of the world, I guess, like it or lump it, but this mad world gives me inspiration, like it’s almost like if the world wasn’t in the position it’s in now, then I wouldn’t of been able to write a masterpiece like this .

Dallas} Seriously, a masterpiece ?, listen man, you call that a masterpiece, I’ve seen better stuff, better stuff that has been written and created by people and authors, they don’t come up with shit like someone punching the sun, that is enough to put someone off from reading books all together, I’m sorry but, it had to be said .

Ponyboy} Listen, man, that’s just the start of it, I have written stories about politics and climate change and how people are stupid, just wait until you hear them, it’ll be enough to change your mind, you’ll wish you didn’t say that .

Dallas} But come on, surely everyone’s not that dumb, no one is dumb enough to punch the sun, that’s just a level up from today’s society, even though I have seen worse . The other day, I went to the supermarket, there was some person buying a box of cereal, on the box it said ” One Of your 5 a day ” however, it also had a photo of a penguin, you know those things, they just have symbols and child PG characters for kids ?.

{ Everybody nods}

Dallas} Yeah, it had a photo of a child free Penguin, looked quite innocent, in fact that’s wrong, because it looked like it was a serial killer, animations at their finest, oh my god, what a downgrade, I mean, I know that it’s ridiculous because a twenty something year old man shouldn’t be afraid at a cartooned penguin on a cereal box, but you know, it just does, there’s no doubt about it .

Two Bit} Yeah, I know about that, trust me, this is coming from a grown man who used to watch Disney movies when I was a kid, I’m still not over it, I used to get nightmares, don’t even start me off on Gargamel .

Ponyboy} No, Gargamel was terrifying .

Johnny} Where was Gargamel from again ?.

Two Bit} Oh, he was from The Smurfs .

Johnny} Oh ok, I get it now, I get it .

Two Bit} But no yeah, I kept having nightmares about him, once, I had a nightmare where I got kidnapped by him, I woke up sweating bullets, I was terrified, that taught me a lesson, I should have never did a Smurfs marathon on a one night stand, big mistake .

Dallas} But yeah, basically, the lady in the supermarket, thought that penguin came with the cereal .

{ Johnny face palms}

Ponyboy} What the ?, did she seriously think that the penguin was a part of the cereal, Jesus Christ, rumor has it, that she didn’t go to school, she needs an education, cause she’ll just waste her life on stupid things like that, someone needs to teach her the certain values of being an adult, because believe you me, she didn’t in the first place .

Dallas} Yeah, stuff like that just makes you want to question society and be like ” What are you doing, what are you doing to the world ?” it does my head in, it really does, we came this far for what exactly ?, it’s just fustrating .

Ponyboy} Yeah, but even though we live in a territorial world, at least we have each other, it is fustrating but it is a test of our character, it just goes to show that if you know yourself and you keep yourself sane, then you’re all sorted, there’s nothing much we can do in this day and age, all we can do is focus on the stuff that we like and we keep moving forward .

Johnny} Very true, that’s very true .

Steve} Hey guys, who wants to see if Reggie is still asleep ?.

Ponyboy} No, you can go, I’m not stepping foot near that man again, even not doing the prank didn’t do me any justice, you can go, I’ll stay here, there’s not really much to see anyway, I see people taking naps all the time, it’s nothing new .

Johnny} So, do you think that you will be able to forgive him ?.

Ponyboy} Oh hell no, why should I forgive him, for what ?, for almost killing me in front of ten strangers, forget about it, no one’s forgiving anyone, he knew what he did, there are no regrets.

Dallas} Come on, Pony, I’m sure he didn’t mean it, he treats us all equally. Maybe he just has a lot on his plate .

Ponyboy} Hm yeah right, a lot on his plate. Yeah, I always have a lot on my plate, I don’t go around punching people for no reason, that’s just bullshit, if he accepts my apology, that’s fine by me, but I’m not accepting his, that’s for sure . { Then he storms off, crying}

Steve} Yo, what happened to Pony, is he alright ?.

Dallas} Yeah he’s fine, I just think he needs some alone time .

{Pony’s read}

” Look, I’m absolutely fine, if Reggie is gonna carry on being like that, then so be it, but if he gets upset because I moved to a different country, then I don’t give a damn, he can suffer all he likes, but that doesn’t bother me at all ” .

{Next scene, Pony gets out of the RV and storms off outside}

{ Dallas finds Reggie and has a chat with him}

Dallas} Hey Reg, can we just have a chat ?.

Reggie} Absolutely, what’s on the agenda ?.

Dallas} Right so, it’s this thing, you see, it’s been bugging me this whole time and I just need to get it off my chest .

Reggie} Right ok, what’s wrong ?.

{Dallas sighs}

Dallas} It’s about Pony, he’s been upset this whole time, it’s this whole dilemma about you and him, because of that, he’s been thinking of moving .

Reggie} Oh really ?, why’s that ?.

Dallas} I don’t know, he upset him and it’s your fault that he has come to terms with this .

Reggie} Oh right, this is about the fight thing, isn’t it ?.

Dallas} Yeah well, he’s crying over there, so I’m gonna leave until you do something about it .

Reggie} Oh well, I didn’t mean it, surely I didn’t push the boundaries, I just had a rough day, I certainly didn’t mean it that way .

Dallas} Look, man, I appreciate the way you’re handling this, but I want my friend back, now right, he doesn’t let me talk to him, neither does he let the gang talk to him, he’s completely broken and you are responsible for mending him back together .

Reggie} Oh well um, I guess I’ll have a chat with him, well thank you for coming up here and letting me know, I shall make things right .

Dallas} Hm, damn right you will, it’s my friend .

{Meanwhile, Pony is sitting against a wall} { Reggie runs outside to find him}

Reggie} Hey Pony, hey wait up .

Ponyboy} Go away, leave me alone, let me breathe, leave me alone !!!, go .

Reggie} Look, man, I’m so sorry, I’m really sorry, do you mind if I sit here ?.

Ponyboy} No not all . { Reggie sits next to him} ” So what brings you here, are you gonna beat me up again, cause if you are, what are you waiting for, punch me all you like, I’m a human punching bag, and while you’re at it, why don’t you kill me as well ?, just drive a massive blade through my heart, who cares if I die ?” .

Reggie} I care, who am I kidding, we all care, Dallas would be useless without you, you guys are like two peas in a pod, you never fail to make ends meet, how would he feel if he found out that you died, he would be really upset, it’s better being alive then to be dead .

Ponyboy} Hah, said no one ever .

Reggie} No, it’s true, you know why, cause it feels great to be alive, you get to experience the beautiful things in life, you can’t do anything when you’re dead, can’t you ?.

Ponyboy} I suppose not .

Reggie} Hey look, just because I punched and tackled you, it doesn’t mean that I hate you, I just had so many things going through my mind at the time, why did it have to be you, why couldn’t I just kick a wall or something, it’s a waste . But all of the other things that went wrong these following days, the one thing that kept me calm is my relationship with you guys, you guys remind me everyday, that life is worthwhile, or why I even bother waking up really early and going to work everyday, it’s because I know that it’s helping a lot of people, I really like that you look up to each other as friends, you guys don’t realize that what you guys have until you haven’t got it anymore, I was the same .

{Pony looks at Reggie}

Ponyboy} You had friends ?.

Reggie} Yeah, I used to have friends but, they’re not around anymore, they were taken from me, one day they were here, they were gone, the next . You guys don’t realize how lucky you are, to have friends who respect you, friends who support you, friends who learn from you, don’t take anything for granted . { Reggie starts getting teary} ” You just don’t know what you have until you haven’t got it anymore.

Ponyboy} Why does life have to be so goddam hard ?, all of this pain to be given birth to, and then we have to face this shit .

Reggie} Well, we’re all on this planet for a reason, it may not seem like it, but it’s true .

Ponyboy} What, what reason ?, what, to get shat on by society, what so, we should all live, only for life to tornado kick you in the balls, it’s pointless .

Reggie} No it’s not . It’s not pointless, it’s not . Nothing is pointless, nothing, you hear me ?. Life is beautiful, it may not seem like it, but it is, there are people out there who don’t have a life, so be grateful for what you have, your future is bright, you have so much in store, I believe that the things that you love and the things that you are passionate about are the things that are worth fighting for .

Ponyboy} What things ?, what things am I passionate about ?, I have nothing.

Reggie} Yes you do, there are many things that you are passionate in, look deep inside of you, think of the things that you make you happy, I’m sure there’s something that you are passionate in .

Ponyboy} Look, I’m not gonna pray and breathe and do  the hokey pokey and turn around, ok, there’s no time for this Mr Miyagi bullshit, ok, I don’t have anything, I don’t, I don’t even have a job, how am I supposed to be happy, I can’t get a job to save my life, I’m useless, I’m just a nobody .

{Reggie puts his hand on Pony}

Reggie} No you’re not, you’re not a nobody, you just have to believe in yourself . You are a good man, you just have to go for it, don’t spend your whole life planning on what you want to do, cause time goes by, you just have to think about what you wanna do, set your goals, then you just gotta reach for your dreams .

Ponyboy} Dreams are just for sleeping .

Reggie} Listen, man, how do you think I became a youth worker ?, do you think I just dreamed about it all day ?, that’s wrong, I set my goals and then I just went for it . Now surely, you’re probably like ” Oh, how is that possible, it’s a fix ” but that’s completely wrong, I got to where I wanted to be in life, now it’s your turn to do the same . I know I may seem like one of those typical ” You can be anything ” kinds of people but I wouldn’t be where I am today, if it wasn’t for you guys . I would probably be homeless or I would be living on the streets . But luckily that didn’t happen, but I’m not a naive person, I don’t focus on myself, I’m supposed to be the one who helps people and stop them from going down those routes, but I can’t even look after myself, let alone help other people .

Ponyboy} No, that’s not true . You are a great person, you come into work every morning, you get stuck in, most people are just interested in getting payed and going home, but you are not like that . You are more interested in helping people, giving them the bare minimum, that just shows you on what a great youth worker you really are .

Reggie} Thanks for your opinion, but really, I am nothing, I’m probably gonna get stuck in this dead end job, not gonna be able to pay taxes, my dad doesn’t care either.

Ponyboy} What happened to him, is he still around ?.

Reggie} Nah, he died long time ago . You know, he always used to say ” No, you can’t be a youth worker, you can’t be a youth worker if you tried ” but look at me now, I became one, so you always have to work hard for your achievements, they don’t just come to you just like that, you know ?. So that really sucked, but then, you guys came along . I finally had some balance in my life . You guys cared for me when no one else did . I helped you, but really, you helped me as well . You made me feel like everything was worthwhile . Every time I came into my office every morning, I always looked forward to seeing your faces . Now, I know you may be thinking why I’m telling all this, cause I sound like some sort of Pervey uncle, but it’s true, you guys did me a real favor and I can’t thank you enough .

Ponyboy} Yeah, it’s absolutely fine . So, um, did you have any memories that you shared with your father ?.

Reggie} Nah well, he was a scumbag, he didn’t care about me, he didn’t even know that I was his son, but I just had to put on a brave face and carry on with my day, on the outside I was smiling, but on the inside, I was crying . I couldn’t master enough good memories if I tried, but there was only one that I stayed on my mind, now I’ll tell you . Ok so, every time I used to come home from school, my dad always used to stand by the door, with a not so welcoming look on his face, knowing that the only thing I’ll get is a kick in the stomach, not even a nice hello . So from then on, I wasn’t very positive, I just saw black and grey, there was no gold in sight . But look at me now, I became a youth worker, I’m lucky that I didn’t turn into my father, I was my own person at the end of the day . But then, I met you guys . I’ll always remember the first time I met you .

Ponyboy} Oh really ?, what do you still remember, from, from the first time you met us ?, did we give you a hard time ?.

Reggie} No no, you didn’t give me a hard time, if anything, you saved me, I was having quite a tough day at work, my boss was really intimidating, he used to say ” Sir, if you don’t put your foot down and work your ass off, then why don’t you quit your job and you can live on the streets, if so, you can pack your bags and get the heck outta here ” so he was a real pain in the ass, but meeting you guys really made me see the other side, the good side .

Ponyboy} Oh really ?, which one of us did you remember meeting first ?.

Reggie} Oh well, um, I think it was Dallas, he turned up in his massive denim jacket, wearing his really long acid washed denim jeans, they sort of looked like flares, if you think about it that way, he looked like he just crawled out of the 80s time capsule, it looked like he just crawled out of St Elmo’s Fire or some shit .

Ponyboy} Hahaha, oh really ?, well I guess that some things just don’t change, he’s the same man you knew back in 2007, hasn’t changed ever since . Hahaha, classic Dally .

Reggie} Yeah, classic Dally . Dallas will always have his charm, it’ll never fade, he’ll always be step toe, where is Dallas Winston when you need him ?, he’ll always be there, won’t he ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah . Hey, you know what, I’m getting a bit hungry .

Reggie} KFC ?.

{Pony nods} Hm.

Reggie} Yeah I thought you would . Come on, let’s go see the gang, they’re probably wondering where we were, if he asks either one of us, just say that we got stuck in some forest .

Ponyboy} Are you kidding me, I’m not saying that, you’re the youth worker, you’re supposed to know better . Forest, haha . { Then they start walking together}

Reggie} What, they’ll know what we meant . Ow god, my back hurts, shouldn’t of sat down in the first place . { puts his hand on his back}

Ponyboy} Oh come off it, be a man, Jesus Christ .

Reggie} I am a man, have you ever heard of a thing called circulation ?.

Ponyboy} No and I’d rather not, I’ll leave it as that, thank you very much .

{They walk back to the RV to reunite with the rest of the group}

Dallas} Jesus Christ, the other day, yeah ?, I go to Misses Watson’s house, she looked dull as ditch water, dull, dull dull, dull dull, so I asked her and I said ” Caroline, Caroline, just take the money ”, she was like ” No no, it’s ok, don’t want it, don’t need it ” and I was like ” No, here you go, take a couple of hundred bucks, it will do you the world of good ” and she was like ” No, I’m ok, I’m ok, you can keep the change ” and I was like ” Take the money !!, you’ll bleed me dry, take the money, buy yourself some new clothes, so you don’t look like a tramp, you’re walking the streets, day and night, looking like you just ate a trash can ”. Cause Jesus Christ, she really does look like that, half of the time, I’m not even lying, the woman loves to be intimidated .

Steve} What did she say after you said all of that to her ?, what was her reaction ?.

Dallas} Well, she stormed off in a right mood and I was assuming that she would take in the advice, cause who is she to not listen to my advice, I know my fashion and she doesn’t, you’re supposed to learn from people, are you, that’s what you’re supposed to do in this world. So I was assuming that she would make better choices, but then the next day, I see her, in one of the ques in the grocery store and she’s wearing the same clothes that she was wearing on Monday, I couldn’t believe it.

Steve} Noo ?.

Dallas} Yeah yeah, I’m being serious, she’s wearing the same shit that she was wearing on Monday, you know what she looks like in those jeans of hers, she looks like the Chucky doll, if the doll appeared to be a female . she’s a nuisance, every time I’m with my friends, I walk past her on the street, she is looking weird as usual, I have to tell them that she just comes from an abrupt city council and they just help her out with social housing and cash, because she ain’t go money, they’re all standing there, looking at her like. { Pretends to stare to mock her} ” I have to tell them to carry on walking and keep their eyes on the ground . I mean, she is nice though, I’ll give her that . bless her, every time I see her, she always says hello and tells me ” how are you and the boys ?, the weather is nice today, isn’t it ?” bless her, she is so friendly but she’s ignorant as well, that’s the thing like .

Steve} Why are you so concerned ?.

Dallas} I’m sorry, I’m sorry what now ?.

Steve} I said why you so concerned ?.

Dallas} Concerned, about what ?.

Steve} About Misses Watson’s fashion choices, why are you so concerned, if she wants to wear ragedy and old clothes, what’s it to you ?.

Dallas} I’m not concerned, I’m not concerned, it’s just, I don’t fancy seeing her like that, it’s not that I don’t like her, but it’s the clothes, it’s clothes, Steve, do you get me ?.

Steve} I know, but surely, you’ve got something more interesting to talk about, you don’t have to spend your whole life, talking about someone else, you’re just wasting time like that, are you ?.

Dallas} No not frequently, what the hell do you want me to talk about, what are the alternatives ?, what, should I talk about one of my relatives who became the first man who landed on the moon ?.

Steve} Woah, seriously ?.

Dallas} Well no, that never happened, did I say it did ?.

Steve} No .

Dallas} Well then. I guess you don’t want me talking about it then ?.

{Steve makes a pissed off face}

Steve} I can’t believe you just did that, I really can’t .

Dallas} Alrighty then . { Sits back down on his seat and lights up a cigarette and sits there in peace}

Steve} Are you even allowed to smoke in RVs ?, I don’t think you’re allowed, you know ?.

Dallas} Who says I’m not allowed to smoke in RVs ?.

Steve} Well, the government made a policy, it’s a no smoking area, they say that vehicles can get set on fire, it’s flammable material, there’s a fine line between smoking outside and smoking inside, so can you please put your cigarette away ?.

Dallas} What, you think I own an ashtray, what’s the matter, with you ?.

Steve} Yeah well, it’s the system, you gotta support it, support the system for what it is .

Dallas} Yeah well, f the system, f the system, f the police .

Steve} Arghhhhhh. Hey Dally, remember what you said about Misses Watson, what happened after she took the money ?.

Dallas} Well, she just got into contact with a drug dealer, bought five hundred grams of cocaine off of him . You see, you think that you are helping them, when actually, you’re harming them, you can’t win, can ya ?.

Steve} No, I suppose not, I guess it wasn’t for a good cause, she didn’t spend it on clothes, she spent it on drugs, I thought the story was gonna have a happy ending, turns out, I was wrong . So much for giving her advice .

 

{Whilst they are having a conversation, Johnny peeps outside the window, and sees Reggie and Pony, walking back to the RV, after making ends meet and he gets excited and he warns everyone that they’re coming back and they have to get ready to welcome them back}

Johnny} Oh my god, look who it is, guys guys . It’s Pony and Reggie, come and check this out . { Steve goes to see them}

Steve} Oh yeah, they are back, took them long enough .

Johnny} Oh shut up, this is great .

Dallas} Oh well, looks like Reggie and Pony made amends, they seem to be getting on, good thing I had a chat with Reggie, otherwise they would of went seperate ways, thank god that didn’t happen .

{ Reggie opens the car door and gets in}

Johnny} Hey, welcome back, guys, ready to hop back in the RV ?.

Reggie} Yeah, you know it.

Dallas} Hey, welcome back, Pony, it’s nice to know that I have my friend back, I was real concerned, we were gonna throw a farewell party .

Ponyboy} Oh, there’s no need for that . I’m back now and I’m here to stay, I’m not considering in moving anymore, that’s a lost thought, so there’s no need for that .

Two Bit} Oh great, I’m glad, welcome back, friend .

Dallas} Yeah, welcome back, friend . { He hugs Pony}

Reggie} Yeah, this guy right here is amazing, he’s a fighter, he always will be .

{Ponyboy gets flustered}

Ponyboy} Oh stop it, I’m the one who’s supposed to be the one who’s supposed to be saying that, it’s reversed, you are the one who helped me overcome so many things, you are the one who’s supposed to be getting the nod for it, not me, what did I do ? .

Reggie} Hey don’t mention it, I’m just doing my job .

{Pony and Reggie’s read}

Reggie} So yeah, unfortunatly, me and Pony had a fight and it didn’t go well, but after some consideration, we made amends and now we’re ok again .

Ponyboy} Yeah. Thank you for whatever it is that you do, I really appreciate it .

Reggie} Don’t mention it, that’s what youth workers are for, they help people, but you helped me too, don’t forget that, if you make some sort of mark on the world, then people will remember you for it, that’s why I’m gonna carry on working in the city council, because I know that it helps so many people across the country, and I’m in charge of that, I am .

Ponyboy} Yeah, but only if you have a boss that looks like that guy from American Psycho, then maybe, you should retire, but hopefully that it doesn’t come to that .

Reggie} Hahaha, yeah, but that’s far from what’s happening right now, we all make mistakes and we learn from them. I think I’m ready to go back to work, We had our field trip, now I really want to get stuck in, I’ve had my time off, I had my escapeism, it was very much needed, now things have to go back to the way they were, now I know that it doesn’t sound great, but that’s life, unfortunatly, we gotta do our unfinished business and carry on with the life schedule .

Ponyboy} Hey Reggie, I think we should go to KFC, I’m starving, but I think the whole group is hungry too, we should just wrap this up, I think .

Reggie} Yeah, I think we should . Jesus Christ, it’s freezing, man . { They walk off, the read is finished}

{Next scene, they all sit back down on their seats, Reggie walks in and sits down on his chair}

Two Bit} Whoooo, looks like we’re back in business, let’s get this show on the road .

Ponyboy} You seriously should of let me drive .

Johnny} Wow, he is the way, isn’t he ?, Jesus Christ .

Reggie} Do you know what, that’s a good idea, you can drive, I’m a little tired anyway .

Steve} Oh no, don’t let Pony drive, he doesn’t have a license, he’ll get in trouble .

Ponyboy} Wow, stop being a traffic warden .

Dallas} Jesus Christ, we all know what happened when we let him drive . { Everyone stares at him}

{Pony whispers} ” Don’t tell him about what happened earlier, he’ll find out .

Reggie} What, what happened earlier, what happened earlier ?, what happened, Dallas, tell me ?.

Ponyboy} You tell him, I’ll kick your ass.

Dallas} Jesus Christ, don’t get all hasty, I was kidding, I’m not really gonna tell him, I was just messing with ya .

Ponyboy} Oh good, well I am glad .

Dallas} Pony almost crashed the car, leaving all the drivers in hysterics, end of story .

{Ponyboy gets angry} ” Dallas ” .

Two Bit} I told you, I couldn’t help it, G .

Reggie} Wait, so let me get this straight, you tried to drive but you crashed the car, hahahaha .

Ponyboy} Yeah, that was because I saw my brother, he had a brick in a pillowcase, so I just took cover .

Reggie} Oh that is hilarious, do you know what, that kind of sounds like my first driving experience .

{Ponyboy destressed}

Ponyboy} Oh really, hahaha, now that is hilarious . But yeah, at least there’s no damages, that’s some good news, right ?.

Reggie} Yeah, well there’s probably one or two scratches, but that’s not my problem, I’ll leave it my friend, it’s his car, surely he’ll forgive us on this occasion, he works in a vehicle manufacturer, I’ll let him do the dirty work .

Ponyboy} Oh ok cool, I guess it’s settled then, I was worried for a minute there .

Reggie} What, did you really think I was gonna beat you up ?.

Ponyboy} No not at all .

Reggie} Good good, cause I wasn’t going to in the first place, it’s cool, it’s cool, we make mistakes and we move on in life, there’s no point in hating someone for a long time, you have to forgive them, eventually . I actually really liked the voicemail, it made me laugh so hard, you guys got me good, you know, at some point, I thought that I was being hacked, thank god it was a prank, I’ll take a prank over a crank call any day .

Two Bit} Yeah well, we are the masters of the prank calls, one day we pranked called a stranger, I don’t know why but we did, we were just goofy little teenagers back then, but we prank called him, saying that I was from his local bank, he handled the situation pretty well, we heard him shouting on the phone, never to be seen again, still think about him though, I think about him day and night .

Reggie} Wow, that’s some mad shit, sometimes you wonder, don’t you ?, it’s like a lottery, the person can take it as a joke, or the person can take it seriously, but you’ll never know until you try it .

Dallas} Hey, you know what, I think we should turn on the radio, it’s getting dry as shit in here, it’ll give us some good company on the way back to the office .

Reggie} Yeah actually, that’s a great idea, hey you know what, I got this really groovy mix tape that I made, on Friday, it’s got some sick tunes on it .

Johnny} Sick tunes ?, sick tunes ?, hah, I wonder what sick tunes you chose, it’ll always be something shit, oh wait no, that was Dallas, yeah I keep getting mixed up with you and Dallas, it was Dallas who plays shit music, you are fine .

Dallas} That’s charming .

{The song plays, Here comes the hotstepper by Ini Kamoze starts playing}

Two Bit} Arghhhhh sick, pump this up, pump this up. { Bends over the seats and tries to turn the music up} ” Get a load of this ” .

Reggie} What are you doing ?.

Johnny} What are you doing, man, are you trying to get us killed ?.

{Two Bit starts humming to the song} ” Na na na na nan ana” .

Ponyboy} What is this shit ?, no seriously, what is this shit ?.

Two Bit} I remember hearing this song a long time ago, I was a really naughty boy hehehe, naughty boy heh heh, fucking hell . { Starts singing and nodding his head to the beat, plus, he is also clicking his fingers and just tries to look cool} ”  Hit it, na nanananana na nan na nana, na nanana, na na nananana nana ” .

{Everybody just looks fed up, but tries not to laugh at the same time}

Ponyboy} Ah shit, here we go again, just carry on driving, Reg, hopefully the song will end very soon . You should probably try going twenty five miles an hour of speed .

Reggie} I’m trying, I’m trying, you can clearly see that .

Ponyboy} Yeah but, not enough, apparently, you need to put a little elbow grease into it .

{Two Bit sings in a different accent}

Two Bit} Here we go now, here we go now, here comes the next K Pop, ba na nana na, I’m the lyrical dance flop, ba na na na na, excuse me, mr officer, da na na ay, da da na na, I know I know, Jigo, I know I bought, de de, touch it up and go, uh oh, chi chi chi ching ching . { A few minutes later, he’s still singing} ” E dey bay, doh doh, you don’t know my dog, eh deh, doh doh, uh nuh big fake ” { Puts his hands in the air} ” You may not know, no more, refrigerate my ass ” { Stares at Reggie}

{Everybody just sits there, confused and just trying to pretending that they didn’t know what is happening} { A few minutes later, A different song plays, White Rabbit by Jeff Airplane starts playing}

Ponyboy} Right, Reggie, that’s enough for now, you can turn it off, it’s just playing crass songs now .

Reggie} No no, no way hosay, this song is a oldie but goldie, I used to listen to this back in the day .

Ponyboy} Oh yeah ?, well where did you hear this song, in, in the washroom in a sex club ?.

Reggie} Oh shut the hell up., your generation doesn’t know good music, you just get your satisfaction from the sounds of vaccum cleaners .

Dallas} Oh, this is a proper masculine coppout, it’s a proper masculine coppout .

Reggie} Listen Dallas, shut your gaping trap and listen to this song, feel the warmph, Dallas .

Johnny} Oh god ughhhhh, I feel like I’m gonna throw up .

Two Bit} Hey Johnny, I’ll tell you what, if you wanna, if you wanna throw up, vom in this grocery bag .

Reggie} Oh hell nah, not the grocery bag. { Johnny throws up in the grocery bag}

Johnny} Eughhhhhhhhhhhhh, ah, fuck me, fuck me.

Ponyboy} Oh my god, it’s in my eye, it’s in my eye .

Steve} Hahaha, dirty boy .

Dallas} Wow, you did not hesitate to throw up in that grocery bag, did ya ?.

Steve} That aged well .

Dallas} It did age well, it aged like fine wine, we all knew that he was gonna throw up, and guess what, he did, that is predictable .

Reggie} Hey guys, shut your traps, I wanna hear this song .

{Reggie starts singing in a weird voice}

Reggie} One pill makes you larger and one makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at all, go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall . And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you’re going to fall, tell em a hookah smoking catapillar has given you the call.

Johnny} Reg, please can you stop singing, your voice just makes me feel a bit motion sick .

Reggie} Oh is it ?, oh dear .

Two Bit}} Reg, it’s fine, he’s clearly joking, he doesn’t feel sick at all, he’s clearly doing it on purpose, as you can see .

Johnny} Oh how dare you ?.

{The song carries on playing}

{Reggie carries on singing}

Reggie} Just ask Alice, when she was just small, deh da da deh . When the men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go, and you’ve just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving low, Go ask Alice,  I think she will know, when logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, and the White Knight is talking while walking backwards and the red Queen’s off her fucking head, remember what the dorvan said, be your head, yeah she’s dead, yeah she’s dead, yeah she’s dead . { The song stops, Reggie stops singing}

Dallas} Wait a minute, a thought it went ” and the white knight is talking backwards and the red queen’s off her head, remember what the dormouse said ” you’ve got the lyrics completely wrong ” .

{Reggie doesn’t say anything and makes a hand gesture to the camera whilst smiling}

Two Bit} Wait a minute, she’s dead ?, who’s dead ?.

Ponyboy} Nobody, it’s a certain ms nobody, that’s who .

{Dally’s read}

” Remember what the dorvan said, seriously ?, remember what the dorvan said ?, I swear to god, if he is thinking of starring on American’s Got Talent, this isn’t the right place for him ” .

{A few minutes later, they went to KFC and picked up some fast food, now they have returned back, they are walking along the path back to the office, Reggie starts getting emotional because of nostalgia}

Reggie} Oh my god, I remember this place, oh god, I’m getting emotional now, arghhhh .

Dallas} Reg, calm down, don’t get too carried away, we only went away for two days .

Johnny} Yeah, minus all the chaos, with you getting lost and all of that jazz, but it’s ok, because we’re back home .

Reggie} Yeah that’s true, we’re back where we belong, I really wish I could be on holiday forever, but I can’t, cause we have to get back to normal, eventually, but it was very much needed, there’s no doubt about it .

Ponyboy} Yeah, Reg, you look you wanna get back to work, you seem very passionate in what you do, but I think your body really asked for a break .

Reggie} Yeah that’s very true, I didn’t even realize how much I appreciated my job until now, just makes me wanna sit down on my office chair and get stuck in, run a couple of errands, deal with a few meetings, make sure that the environment is spick and span, yeah, I think I’m really looking forward in doing my job again, and I’ll be looking forward in seeing you guys every morning .

Johnny} Hahaha yeah, but just don’t make us do boring jobs, cause we deserve better then that, don’t make us take out the garbage bags, neither should you make us install any tadpole ponds .

Reggie} Oh come on, it’s not that hard, it’s just a two minute job to take out the trash, with the tadplole ponds, probably take a few hours but I’m not making you do that, no no no .

Steve} Hey guys, who wants to watch a movie ?.

{Everyone except for Reggie puts their hand up} ” Me me me me ” .

Reggie} Alright, let’s get in the office first.

Ponyboy} Hahaha, that’s what she said . { They enter the office}

{Next scene, Reggie is dusting some stuff in his office, making it look spotless}

Reggie} Hey Dallas, come and check out how clean this wall is ?. { Dallas walks up to him and sees the wall}

Dallas} Wow, Reg, stop being a nerd, why would I be amazed at a wall, what, do you want me to do ?, do you want me to wipe my ass all over it ?.

Reggie} No not all, I’m just asking you for your opinion if you think that this wall is spotless, I just did some dusting, what do you think ?.

Dallas} I think it looks fine, Reg, I’m not Mr Clean, ok ?, I don’t flirt with walls or household appliances for a living, if I did, that would be sad . But there is one thing that you could do though, and that is that you can wash the windows, you can do a bit of wax on wax off .

Reggie} Yeah but I already washed the windows, I don’t need to do it again, don’t I ?.

Dallas} Yeah well, welcome to Miyagi Do, like it or leave it . { He walks off}

Reggie} Whatever, Mr Dalton Winston . { When he’s done with dusting, he tells Dallas to turn on the lights}

Reggie} Hey you, crow boy, yeah that’s right, I’m talking to you, um, could you do me a favor and turn on the lights, please, it’s just it’s over there in the corner .

Dallas} Oh come on now, can’t you do it yourself ?, you have to ask me to do it ?.

Reggie} Yes, because you are capable of doing it, you are standing by the wall and I’m standing down here, can you turn it on and then we can have some light in here, it’s pitch black, it’s pure darkness in here, a little light will help .

Johnny} Yeah go on, Dal, do what he says, it is quite dark in here, I can barely see Pony’s hairline without the light on, the light sure does help in a situation like this, well don’t look at me, look at Reggie, he’s the one who’s telling you to do so .

Dallas} Alright fine, I’ll do it, just to shut you up . { Then he walks up to the wall, finds the light switch and presses the button, it doesn’t turn on, there’s a possibility that it might of blown}

Johnny} The hell ?, why is it not turning on ?, did it blow ?, did the electricity run out ?, what, what happened ?.

Reggie} I have no idea .

Dallas} Wait wait wait, you have to be patient, I’ll give it one more shot, see that’s the thing with these light bulbs, it doesn’t work the first time, but eventually, it turns on .

Steve} Oh god, someone please help us, we’re stuck in the dark, Dallas has gone mental, Johnny thinks that people can turn into animals when they die, Pony thinks that the loch ness monster exists, welcome to my world, the story of my life .

Ponyboy} What the hell, what has any of that got to do with anything ?, and why did you say that I think that the loch ness monster is real, and actually, that is a 100 % true .

Steve} Why do you believe in the loch ness monster, it’s not even real ?, it’s just a lump of seaweed, there’s no monster .

Ponyboy} Yeah well, someone’s got to believe in something, you are born and you are a part of this world, someone has to believe in something, whatever the hell it is, but this has just blown out of proportion, we’re all sitting here, waiting for the light to come on and we’re all talking shit about the loch ness monster, Jesus Christ, get a life . We need to find something to do, we’re all going mad .

Reggie} Look Dallas, you really don’t have to kill yourself whilst trying to get the electricity back on track, just say that it’s run out and it won’t be such a hassle, I can just go out tonight and get some, you really don’t have to do the bare minimum, all of this just for the electricity in the office, it’s crazy .

Dallas} Yeah well, I’m not walking away from this office without getting the light working again, look I’ll show you, I’m not a quitter, you should know that . { Starts aggressively tapping the light switch} { Reggie just stands there, looking exausted} { The light turns on} .

Dallas} See, let there be light .

Reggie} Ah great, you managed to get it working again, I am somewhat relieved .

Two Bit} Hey Dally, you should get a job as a electrician, you would be great .

Dallas} Oh hell no, that’s shit, I wouldn’t last a day in there, I think I’m alright with where I am now, you don’t have to have a job to be happy, you just get sucked it in that hole and nothing will be important to you anymore, it’s just, wake up, go to work, get your pay check and go home and you have to repeatedly do the same thing every day, then you get sucked into the corporate world, I don’t wanna put myself up in that state of mind .

Johnny} Ok so, who wants to watch a movie ?.

Reggie} Yeah you know what, that’s not a bad idea, we should, it will keep our minds off of everything else, you can start trying out your DVDs, maybe watch a movie or two, depends on how you feel .

Dallas} Yeah that’s a great idea, Reg, come on guys, let’s all sit down, we’ll show each other our DVDs. Um but there’s just one more thing, what device do we put the DVD in ?.

Reggie} Ah well, that’s the thing. Oh do you know what, I’ve got just the thing, wait there . { A few minutes later, the boys are sitting there, there is a VHS and DVD player right in front of them}

Johnny} What the hell is this ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, what is it ?.

Reggie} Right so, this is a VHS, you can use it to put DVDs in there, it’s way better then watching Netflix, look I’ll show you, move up a little . { They move up a bit and let Reggie sit on the floor, he tries to get the DVD player working}

Ponyboy} I swear, this is like OCD, how are you gonna get that thing working ?, you need to give it some elbow grease .

Reggie} Hey, listen Pony, this is what I grew up with back in the day, there was no Netflix and Hulu, you just had to make do with what you had, but it’s cool, I prefer this, one way or another .

Ponyboy} Well go on then, let’s get this thing on, play it again, Sam .

{Reggie just gets impatient}

Reggie} Oh you know what, this thing is shit, do you know what, let’s just use the office laptop, this thing takes skill .

Dallas} Wow, all that effort for what ?, seriously, we should of just used the laptop, the first time round, why go with VHS ?, do you seriously wanna bring back the 80s ?, I didn’t even like the 80s that much, there was too much war, I mean, I like the movies and Tv shows, but not so much in reality and Democracy .

{Johnny finds his Karate Kid trilogy DVDs, he took the discs out of their cases and held them in his hands}

Reggie} Right ok, so who wants to try out their DVDs, first ?, anyone ?.

Johnny} Uh yeah, I’m ready to try them out, I have them right here, I’m really excited about this, this is actually my first proper DVD .

Ponyboy} Well go on then, get to the point, we haven’t got all day, insert the DVD and fly, I really hate it when the laptop does that, it makes me just want to punch the screen .

Reggie} That’s charming, isn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah well, unfortunatly, that’s life, life just makes you wanna punch everything, punch that, kick that, smash that, because of hate, it’s hate, you know what I mean ?, I am full of hate .

Dallas} Pony, stop talking about hate and just watch the screen, the movie is gonna start in a minute, you’d want to watch every minute of it, if you miss it, then you’re gonna be kicking yourself tonight .

Ponyboy} How dare you, I don’t want you to know what I do during the night, you stay well clear of my house, compiche ?.

Dallas} Wow, and that is the end of the Ted Talk, come back next time when you want to hear a rant, it’s a rant, it’s not a life lesson, here on Ted Talk, we talk shit .

Reggie} Hey guys, I think the laptop is working, the movie is gonna start any minute now, I seemed to have gotten the other bit working, so I think we’re all good . { The laptop starts working, the film app is showing on the screen} ” Ladies and gentlemen, we got em ” .

Steve} Oh great, we’re back up and running, that felt like a good few hours, I thought I was just going mad .

Johnny} Yeah, I’m actually looking forward to seeing the movies, once again, I’ve already seen all them, I’ve seen the whole trilogy, but I just wanna see them all again, they’re just so good, I can’t get enough of it, I just couldn’t resist it, I had to buy all of them, but it’s good, do you know why, cause it will last you four days of happiness, with just three DVDs, I’m set for life . Well go on then, what are you waiting for ?, press play .

Reggie} Oh yes, of course, here we go. { The film starts playing, The Cool, The Hot, The Vicious starts playing, the credit score opening plays, Johnny just looks confused}

Two Bit} Oh look, it’s The Karate Kid cast when they’re all older . Yeah look, there’s Daniel, that is Johnny, that is Kreese, that is Mr Miyagi, oh wow, is this Karate Kid 4, amazing .

Johnny} What on earth is this shit ?, who are those guys ?.

Two Bit} What, what do you mean, this is The Karate Kid, this is exactly how I remembered it, or is it ?.

{Johnny gets up and attacks the laptop with a pillow}

Johnny} This shit, this shit, for god sake, man, ehhhhhhhhhh .

Reggie} Johnny, is there a problem ?, what’s up ?.

Johnny} This isn’t The Karate Kid, it’s got one guy who looks like he’s about to kick someone’s tongue out of their mouth, the other looks like he was about to shit his pants, the other looks like she stepped on a piece of lego, the other one looks like his balls are hanging out, this isn’t exactly how I remember it, is this how it was or am I just going crazy here .

Ponyboy} But wait, I don’t understand this, if it’s a different DVD, then how comes, the DVD case is the right one .

Johnny} That’s obviously why you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, you end up with some crap thing like this, now what am I gonna do, we are far away from the DVD store, we can’t take it back and can get a refund, if only we could, that would be helpful .

Reggie} Look, don’t be upset, Johnny, look, I’ll tell you what, I’ll get you a new stash of Karate Kid DVDs online, there’s this really cool website I use, when I wanna get stuff from game stores and places that sells DVDs .

Dallas} Oh really, a website, ay ?, what’s it called ?.

Reggie} Oh it’s called Cinema Paradiso, I get my DVDs from there, they don’t charge you that much, either, it’s a winner winner chicken dinner, I’ve got a buddy who works there, he can get in on the game as well .

Johnny} Oh joy, yeah if you could, that would be amazing, thanks, man, look I’m really sorry for lashing out, I just seem to get a bit over emotional when it comes to things like the principle .

Reggie} Yeah no it’s absolutely fine, you don’t need to apologize, we have our days . Right so, all of you are very happy with your DVDs, ain’t ya ?.

{Everyone} ” Yeah ” .

Steve} Yeah, this movie would be good with some chicken curry .

Two Bit} Yeah but only if you invite me to come and watch it with you .

Steve} Of course of course, you can come over to my house any time, but you can’t come on Tuesdays, because the garbage men come on that day, but other then that, you can totally come, having said that the DVD player is acting up, it seemed to have happened when you came over to watch Basket Case. Nah, I’m just joking, everything’s fine .

Two Bit} Oh good good, you had my worried for a sec there .

Ponyboy} Right so, what’s on the agenda, play it again, Sam .

Reggie} Right so, what I wanted you to guys to do, was to sit in a circle and share some of your most favorite and least favorite moments that we had on the field trip, do you think you could do that for me ?.

Johnny} Of course, I’d love to have a chat with everyone in a circle .

Dallas} Of course you would, oh come on Reg, why does it have to be in a circle, why can’t we just sit normally, doing stuff like this just reminds of being in school .

Ponyboy} You know what, that’s so accurate, that’s what it feels like .

Dallas} Doesn’t it just ?, it just feels like you’re gonna summon the spirits of the gods or something, why can’t anything not be weird in this office, we look like genies .

Reggie} Oh come on, it’s not that bad, the quicker we get this over with, the more this wouldn’t feel so strange . Right ok, Johnny, starting with you, what was your favorite moment that we shared on our field trip ?, is there anything that you enjoyed ?.

Johnny} Well yeah, there are so many things, I can’t choose one, I’ll have to say all of them, I enjoyed the whole field trip from begin to end . But of course, you know, I have to only choose one, so if I could only choose one moment, I would probably have to say the time when we weren’t fighting, and we were enjoying ourselves, like the time where we went to the Hype House night club, we were so care free about the world around us and we were just living in the moment, not stressing about tomorrow, if I could turn back time, I would .

Reggie} Yeah that’s actually a really good answer, we don’t do this stuff that often, it was a once in a lifetime experience . So um, Pony, would you like to go next ?, do you have any favorite moments that we shared on our field trip ?.

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, so I really enjoyed the Night Club bit as well, they were playing some good music, the choices were interesting, it was also quite hilarious when it was revealed that Steve was the DJ, he was like stood there, all hands on the music set, he looked cool .

Steve} Yeah like the music was great, that was actually the hardest thing about being a DJ, I actually wasn’t that familiar with different types of music, but I learned so much, I learned so much about Folk, Jazz and Rock, fun fact actually, Simon and Garfunkel is classed as Folk Rock .

Two Bit} Really ?, I didn’t know that, we seem to be learning something new everyday .

Steve} Yeah like that’s the thing I learned, I learned that experience is the best teacher, everyday, you learn something new .

Johnny} Yeah I already knew that though, I’ve been a Simon and Garfunkel super fan for almost five years .

Dallas} Oh yeah, remember the time when I met you at the bus stop ?. Hey guys, I’m not sure if I have already told you this, but have I ever told you about our weird friendship story ?, I probably have, I just can’t remember .

Ponyboy} What, is it the one where you guys met at a art exhibition ?.

Dallas} No it wasn’t that one, that’s where I met Troy, I met him at an art exhibition, it wasn’t Johnny .

Ponyboy} Wait, but who’s troy ?, is that Johnny’s younger brother ?.

Johnny} Bitch no, does it look I have a younger brother ?, you silly bitch .

Dallas} So yeah, I met Johnny at a bus stop, he appeared to be on his way to a soccer game in Staten Island .

Johnny} Oh yeah I remember now, you were wearing that like really long weist coat, it like went right up to your weist, you looked like an armed bodyguard, like those ones that stay in night clubs, like back in the 70s .

Dallas} Yeah that’s right . So then, I was on my way to the store, when suddenly, I heard someone shouting, I turn around, I see some dude waiting at the bus stop, I thought ” What the fuck ?” I was just about to walk away when suddenly, I heard singing, then he starts walking up to me, he was like ” Oh my god, are you Art Garfunkie ?” and I was like ” No, who da hell is that ?” and he started singing more, he was like ” let us be lovers, we’ll marry our fortunes together ” I had absolutely no clue what he was doing, never heard the song in my life, eventually, he thought that I was Art Garfunkel, but after some consideration, I told him who I really was and he apologized, after that, we were friends, we are still friends still to this day .

Johnny} Yeah, I seriously don’t know where I was, my mind was in a weird place at the time . I just came back from my cousin’s house, my family members were throwing a party or something so there was a possibility that I drank too much . But yeah, that was a weird time .

Reggie} Ok so, who wants to go next ?.

Two Bit} I’ll go next, ok so, one of my favorite moments that we shared in the whole entire field trip was the time when I got reeled in to do the documentary .

Ponyboy} Oh my god, that was hilarious, that thing had me in creases, god, what are you like ?.

Two Bit} I don’t know, I seriously have no idea, I just got mesmorized by all the cameras and the equipment, yeah, I just didn’t know what happened .

Reggie} Yeah, that was strange, looking back at it now, it’s actually hilarious, I’ve never seen myself do something like that . And you told the camera man that I retired from my job, what were you thinking, in that tiny brain of yours ?.

Two Bit} Seriously, no clue, you were the only the person that I could go to in a situation like that . I just thought that you would be fit for the job, cause clearly, I don’t know anything about nature . But yeah, I think it was so funny, each and every one of us were laughing so hard that day, I can’t even tell you .

Reggie} Yeah, the camera man sent me to Maccie Ds to and find this guy, I honestly don’t know who he was, he was really nice though, surprisingly, he didn’t look nice, he had like a massive monobrow right above his eyes, that scared the shit out of me, I thought Mac donalds was invaded by John Wayne Gacey .

Ponyboy} Oh really, Jesus Christ, what was the guy’s name ?.

Reggie} His name was Anxious Akaltar .

Two Bit} No, it was Anxious Akbar, you dummy, it was Anxious Akbar, there’s no T in there .

Reggie} Yeah whatever it was, he thought that Two Bit was Anxious Akbar, I had to tell him straight .

Dallas} Ahh that’s crazy . Can I tell you one of my favorite moments ?. The time where Reggie lashed out at the hotel, remember the time when he  just ran around the house, banging the pots together, that was brilliant .

Ponyboy} Yeah, that was hilarious, I would say that that is probably one of my most favorite moments as well, what exactly happened, Reggie ?.

Reggie} Do you know what, I think it’s because of the noises of the motorway, there were so many cars out there, as well as people shouting their lungs out at the same time .

Johnny} Yeah, that was great though, that made my day, but you were crazy, you lost your mind .

Reggie} Yeah, I guess we’re all crazy sometimes .

Ponyboy} Oh hey guys, remember the time when we went to the drive in and we met those girls ?.

Johnny} Oh yeah ?, I remember that, they were so pretty . Then also, there was that time where Cherry splashed coke all over Dallas, that shit had me in stitches .

Dallas} Yeah, I guess that was pretty funny, you better not have taken a photo of it, no I’m being serious, you better not have .

Johnny} I didn’t take a picture of that, trust me, why would I take a photo of someone in a vulnerable moment, why would I do that to you .

Dallas} Oh good, ok that’s a relief .

Johnny} Well obviously, I did, but it’s quite blurry, because of the camera quality, minus all the coca cola, being splashed on you .

Dallas} You freaking what ?.

Johnny} Yo, chill out, geez .

Ponyboy} But yeah, I still have her phone number, I asked her out on a date and she said yes, so guess what, I’m going on a date, wooo hoo .

Reggie} Nice one, Pony, it’s nice to know that you took that extra step in life, found yourself a Misses, my man is grown up now .

Ponyboy} No seriously, I’m not ready to grow up, I mean, of course yeah, I’m grown up, but I don’t wanna reach a stage in life where I am sixty .

Reggie} It’s fine, it’s not anything to worry about, you’ll get used to it.

Steve} But yeah, remember the time where Dallas tried to hit on Cherry and she looked like she was gonna beat him up, yeah, then she ended up giving Dallas a lecture on feminism .

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, that was funny .

Dallas} See the thing is that I don’t have a problem with feminism, I don’t have nothing against it, she can stand up for whatever she believes in, it’s Feminazis I don’t like, their bullshit just makes me wanna punch them .

Johnny} Yeah, overall, I really enjoyed the road trip, it couldn’t have been better, but there’s only one thing that I didn’t like . I was quite bummed that we didn’t get a chance to do the fandago with Rupert Pupkin, neither did we get a chance to go to Las Vegas to get married, I was quite looking forward to that .

Steve} Oh don’t worry, Johnny, there’s always next year .

Dallas} Yeah, there’s always next year .

Johnny} Yeah that’s true, there’s always next year . Wait what ?.

Ponyboy} Why do wanna do the fandago with Rupert Pupkin anyway, are you mad ?.

Johnny} Well, no, it would of been a good experience, you know, a little dance around the room, you could of just busted a few moves on the dance floor, I mean, I was told that he would make a special appearance at the Hype House night club, I wanted to go and see him .

Dallas} Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you fell for that shit, they only do that, just so they make money off of their business, it’s prophet, money makes the world go round for them, always remember that ?.

Steve} Yeah, to be honest, I’m still kinda confused why you took us to a night club though, like, why, what was the point ?.

Reggie} Well, I just thought that it would be fun, a great highlight for the road trip, I mean, you enjoyed it, did you ?.

Steve} Yeah I did, actually, I was the night club’s DJ from the get go, I fooled everyone with the music I was playing .

Reggie} Right well then, at least you enjoyed it .

Steve} I’m still confused though, what, do you go there just to hook up with chicks ?.

Dallas} Steve, someday when you are old enough, you will know the real reason why people go to parties .

Steve} Yeah, you go there to hook up with chicks, you go there to get smashed and you have hangovers, then you have left over alchohol in your bladder and your system, I’ve never really understood it, what’s all the hype about ?.

Two Bit} Oh, I see what you did there, ok Steve, I see you .

Johnny} Oh yeah, because the night club is called Hype House, good one .

Reggie} So yeah, um, Pony, there’s just something I wanna tell you .

Ponyboy} Sure, what it is ?.

Reggie} Ok so, you know what happened yesterday, with the whole fight thing ?, do you still remember that ?.

Ponyboy} Um, no I actually forgot about that thing now, if it’s gonna be about that, I’m not having it .

Reggie} No seriously, Pony, I need to deal with it, cause what I did was very harsh and cruel, you didn’t deserve it at all .

Ponyboy} Look Reggie, we talked about this, alright, we’re cool, we just need to forget about the past and move on with our lives, we’re cool, we’re cool .

Reggie} Look, I know you had it rough for the last few days, we went to the night club, you got sick .

Ponyboy} Look Reggie, it’s ok, you don’t have to keep bringing this up, I’m ok now, I feel so much better, I just drank too much, it’s a very common problem, I don’t usually go to night clubs so my stomach couldn’t handle it, but it’s ok now, look how much I’ve changed and I can’t thank all of you enough, you really looked after me when I was sick . Yeah that’s right, Dallas, I’m talking to you. You put your life on the line for your good friend, the rest of you did as well, but I’m mainly talking about Dally . I am so lucky to have a friend like you, honestly, I am .

{Dallas smiles}

Ponyboy} Yeah, you are a good friend, you stood by my side when I needed it the most, luckily I wasn’t too sick, I was well enough to wake up, if it wasn’t for any of you guys, I don’t know where I would be . Also, Reggie has been amazing, he is a strong man, but also, he’s not scared to talk about his past, the man had a tough life, but look at him now, he is a youth worker, he met five wonderful men, I know that he didn’t mean to do some of the things he did .

Reggie} Thanks, man, I really appreciate it, you guys are my heroes, man, how could I do anything to hurt you, it would be horrible of me, you guys have come a long way, it’s anstonishing, I’m proud,, I’m so proud . You guys are like family, except, you’re like a real family, you’re not a fake family, that abuses you, neglects you, insults you, takes the piss out of you, you guys are like a real family .

Dallas} Well, you are like my real father, you’re not one who beats you to death everyday, you are a real, loving family man, whatever it is, your son is a very lucky boy, he gets to grow up around someone who is loving like you. When he grows up, he’s gonna really look up to you, he’s gonna learn to appreciate you, when he finds out on what you are doing for the city councils, he is gonna be so proud, he’s gonna put his fist up in the air and say ” That’s my dad, I’m so proud, that’s my dad ” . And when your time is up, we will be the ones who will tell him everything, we will tell him that you was a great man, he was a great role model, he really cared for his friends, and we’re gonna tell him that you really believed in us .

Johnny} Yeah, this is something for you, Dallas, this is something for the male casanova, if you decide to have any kids in the future, for many of the guys who knew you the most, would always remember you for being caring, being supportive, being smart, being tough, but also wasn’t afraid to show emotion, you always stood up for one of your friends in a fight, it would always end with you splashing alcohol on someone . { Starts giggling, everyone else starts laughing as well}

Dallas} Yep, that’s me, Dallas Dalton Winston, right at your service . { Puts his hand up whilst getting emotional}

Johnny} But yeah, he’s a very special young man, but society did him dirty, everyone sees him as a furocious beast, but really, he is a caring, loving, strong human being .

Dallas} Yeah, but strong is kind of like my default, I have it with me just in case it becomes needed, because it’s tough out there .

Ponyboy} Yeah, thanks for being our friend, we don’t know where we would be without you .

Dallas} Hey don’t mention it, that’s what friends are for . Anyway, you have been amazing as well, amazing as always, I don’t know where I would be with you guys, I’d probably be in jail, doing time, cause you know me, a little wreckless bull, I would probably be in and out of jail, but I’m not, I’m here, with you guys, doing something else with my life, thankfully . You know, I grew up in the area of crime, loads of shootings, stabbings, you know name it, and there wouldn’t be a day where someone wouldn’t get shot, it was, it was brutal, it was brutal, but um, I got involved in a lot of street crime myself, everyday, if my parents are having a scrap, I would always just get out of the house, do something in the form of crime, I would either do some vandalism, I would steal stuff from the gas stations and stores, I would mix with the wrong crowd, but I don’t really do it anymore, I stopped for good, cause you guys helped me, you proved to me that there’s more to life then crime and violence . First of all, let me start with Reggie, you are like my father, except, you are my real father, you always looked out for us, you always cared when no one else did, and you always showed us the other side, the good side, you taught us which was good and bad, you showed us which right and which was wrong, so thank you .

Reggie} Aw, you know what, that’s really sweet of you, but there’s no need to thank me, I’m just doing my job, I’m here to make sure that everyone’s ok, I make sure that everyone’s happy and healthy, I don’t like violence either, I hate stuff like that, I hate conflict, but it’s still something that we have to go through, whether we like or not, sadly, why can’t we all just respect one another, look alright, this may be coming from a guy who does get involved in violence sometimes, minus with what happened to Pony, but it’s just a thing that we can’t control, but it doesn’t mean that we actually mean it . We all say mean and stupid things to one another, but it doesn’t mean that mean it, you know, we should all be nice to each other, cause one day, if we make sly comments to someone, it would always lead to something bad . You know, once I had a friend in high school, we were like best friends, we were in different classes and form groups, we did everything together, we flunked tests, we skipped school, we hung around with each other at lunch time, we went to AV club, we were best friends during the third simester, but that’s not what I wanna tell you, what I do want to tell you is to respect each other, cause at the end of the day, we are all human, we go through all the same struggles in our daily lives . So anyway, I had this friend back in high school, one time, I got super mad at him for something, I honestly don’t know why, and um, he got upset, and the next day, I get a phone call from his mom, saying that he hanged himself, I dropped my jaw, I was shocked, I really was, I dropped the phone, my hands were too shaky . I heard that he hanged himself, it was a suicide, or it could of been an accidental hanging, I am not sure, but truth is, is that I should of been a bit more nicer to him . I never got to speak to him before he killed himself, I was so guilty, in fact I was so guilty, that I was ashamed of myself for being the sort of person I was . I never got to see him, I always missed seeing him at school, he wasn’t so well, he had Sistic Fibrosis, so he was just super fragile, he only had a months to live, he didn’t deserve to end his life like that, he really didn’t . Makes me just want to punch it, I just want to punch it and say ” Go away ” ” Go away ” . I just want him back, he always friendly to the staff at school, he used to always say ” Teach me more, teach me more, I wanna learn, I wanna learn ” ” he always used to say these things to the substitutes, he always used to say ” Take care of yourself, Miss or take care of yourself, sir ”, welcome to Systelle High ” he gave people waves, he would just give everyone a wave, and he always looked forward to submitting his home work, he was positive that he would have a great future ahead of him  but little did he know, was that his life was gonna be over, five days later, the poor boy had it tough.

{Ponyboy starts tearing up}}

Ponyboy}Oh god, that’s terrible, thank you for sharing this with us, I appreciate it, that must have been hard .

Reggie} Yeah, but I’m telling you this now, cause I wanna show you how much I have changed over the years . I really didn’t mean it, I really didn’t, I just kicked myself all night, thinking on how much damage I have caused, thinking on how much it damaged the poor kid’s family, on how they wouldn’t live to see their child grow up, get married, raise a family of his own, but they’ll never get to, cause their child’s gone, their poor child is gone, and I was responsible for that . { Starts crying}

Ponyboy} Look man, come here . { Then he goes to hug him} ” Look, I’m sure that you’ve learned from your mistakes, we all make mistakes, but it’s what you learn from them, that counts.

Johnny} Yeah, you’ve done well, you helped us overcome problems since the day we met you, we may have given you a hard time but at least we get on .

Reggie} No, you haven’t given me a hard time, if anything, you helped me .

Dallas} Yeah, that’s what friends are for, friends are there for each other no matter what, friends support each other, they learn from each other, they watch each other grow . You should be proud of yourself,  you carried the whole councilling job on your back, but you need to be good to yourself, you have to give yourself some time, give yourself some space, now, this is coming from Dallas, you’re probably thinking ” Oh god, Dallas is saying this, run, hide ” but no, cause usually, I don’t deal in this shit, but from what I learned in life, was that you have to look after yourself, yourself comes first before anything else, you make sure you get the help you need .

Reggie} Aww thanks, guys, come on, group hug . { They all hug}

Johnny} Is there room for one more ?.

Reggie} Yes of course, man, come along . { Johnny joins in}

Steve} You’re a good man, Reggie, never forget that .

Two Bit} Yeah, you’re good, but you are also very naughty, man, very very naughty man . { Starts laughing}

Reggie} Oh come on, Two, when have I ever been naughty ?.

Two Bit} Oh you know ?, just every day in general .

Reggie} Harghhhhh, oh well, we had a good chat, now, who wants to help me take out the trash ?.

Everyone} Oh god noooooooooooooooo, god no .

Reggie} Alright, I’ll do it myself, I just gotta throw the trash out, I have this bean bag, it split and now there’s floam beads all on the floor, this shit goes all over place, Jesus . { Then he walks down the hallway}

Steve} Oh wait, Reggie, I think you are due to getting the photo copies and files from the photo copy room . I think someone mentioned it earlier, some guy in the building .

Reggie} Oh really, uh, well perhaps, I’m gonna have to go get them . Thanks for letting me know .

Steve} No problem, Reg, any time .

{Meanwhile, the boys are in the office, lying around}

Dallas} Hey, who wants to come to my house and watch Big Wednesday, tonight ?, is anyone up for it ?.

Ponyboy} Uh yeah, I’ll come, I love that movie, Reggie got me the DVD from the DVD store .

Dallas} Oh great, ok well that’s sorted then, you can bring it when you come, I made this like salsa, you need to try it, it’s incredible. You should also come upstairs to my room, I have this sweet new The Warriors poster on my wall .

Ponyboy} Aw sick, I have to see that, is it the proper one where they are like walking in the rain ?.

Dallas} Yeah it is, it’s the special edition one, I won it in some sort of like contest or something, I placed a bet, someone was selling it for thirty dollars, I thought ” Oh I have to get it ” it would be terrible not to .

Ponyboy} Hey, you know what, I think we should watch the movie here, Reggie has got a good set up, it’s nice and cosy as well .

Dallas} Yeah that’s actually a good idea, we’ll watch it here, I’ll show you the poster when you come over to my house, I’m sure that Reg won’t mind if we crashed here .

{Meanwhile, Reggie is taking the trash out, he’s walking, he suddenly comes across another youth worker that works in the building, she stands there, Reggie smiles at her, then suddenly, the trash bag splits open, all the floam beads go everywhere, he’s not aware that it’s happening, he tries to act like nothing’s happening, he starts dancing and moving around weirdly, then does a bow and does a hand gesture} { Then he notices that there’s a mess and stops and then he runs off}. { Then he runs in the hallway, going in and out in corridors, whilst being out of breath, having no idea where he’s going}

Reggie} Harghhh, oh my god, man, where is the photo copy room, where is it, I just came out of five corridors . Right ok, door thirty five, door ninty three . { Stops and points at the different door numbers}

Reggie} Right ok, I think I got it . { Starts running} ” Jesus Christ, oh my god, Thirty six, thirty six, door seventy five . { He finds someone and asks him} { Slides to the right, comes from behind the wall .

Reggie} Where the fuck is door thirty eight ?.

Person} It’s right over there, just go through the next corridor, then it’s on your right .

Reggie} Ok . { Starts running the other way} ” Shit ” .

{He enters the photo copying room to collect some files for his work}

{The person in the room, doing an interview with another person}

Interviewer} Yeah so you see, that’s how things are at the um, at the moment, but we will take care of that . We will also take care of some of the other, financial related problems, as well as making sure that everyone in the city councils get a higher pay rise . Thank you, Mr, um, MR Holloway, for, for having me today and going over these problems, we certainly, we most certainly need to look into them, regardless of what happens. I will certainly email the US president, these things will definetely get a look in . Thank you, sir, for taking your time to do this, I really appreciate it . So um, what do you think is next on the horizon ?.

Person} Well um, that’s an interesting question, um, who knows, you know, we don’t know on what systems will be put in place, we don’t know if workers and members of staff will be put on minimum wage . but I guess that we will wait and see, only the future knows, you know what I mean ?.

Interviewer} Yeah, I do hope that the financial struggles that many members of staff have, will be sorted out as soon as possible . We will also make sure that work hours will change, right by the end of the week . Many more members of staff will also have to work for their pay checks, many things will be switched around . But I promise you that things will be more easier and trouble free . Are there any more things you wanna say before we bring this interview to an end ?.

Person} Uh yes, well, I can promise, on the whole of the city council workers, will experience more changes and other things in the workplace . And don’t compensate, because work will be underway .

Interviewer} Thank you, MR Hollaway, for really filling us in in this interview, I really do appreciate it . Thanks a lot, good day .

Person} No problem, thanks for having me .

Interviewer} My pleasure, you hear that, guys, all of you will have a higher pay rise by the end of this week . That will take the weight off your shoulders . Go and recieve your pay check and go to the bar and buy a beer or something, I don’t know, the world is your oyster, do whatever you want with it . You earned it .

Person} And also, don’t go to the coctail bars late at night, there will be a curfew and you will get smashed .

Interviewer} No, don’t say that on live Tv, what are you doing, yeah, director, director, be sure to blurt that all out .  The whole of the ABC news team are gonna fire me from my job, don’t you dare .

 

{Meanwhile, Reggie is in the room and is hovering around and seeing what’s going on}

Reggie} Ohhh a pay rise, yeah heh, now we’re talking . { He stands there in the corner of the room, speaking to the interviewer}

{Reggie jumps out and interrupts the interview}

Reggie} Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh . Ohhhhhh, get a load of these freaks . What the hell is this, oh I see, oh I get it, a little interview, why would you wanna talk to him anyway, he’s the one who raised the bus fares in the first place .

Interviewer} Look, I, I apologize, sir, really .

Reggie} This is a total disgrace, you’re all fired, get out, all of you .

Person} Ahhhh, mad window cleaner . { Looks scared}

Reggie} Hey excuse me, sir, I think you really need to change this windows, they’re starting to get a little rusty, you’re starting to get a little condensation .  You see, can we get a window cleaner over here, please . { Says in a weird voice} { Starts dancing} { Starts crouching down and doing footsteps} ” Oh I like this, I love walking like this, don’t you just love it when you walk like this ?. Ahh, I’m a monkey, ehhhh, ahh, arghh god . { Walks off and faces the wall, puts his hand on his head}

Interviewer} Excuse me, can I help you, sir ?.

Reggie} No .

Interviewer} Who are you, sir ?, may I ask ?.

Reggie} Reggie. Remember, we used to be friends in the workplace . You interviewed me once, remember that interview about house construction and financial struggles .

Interviewer} Alright .

Reggie} Do you remember me, I made an appearance on the news once, you were talking to me . This is exactly how I remember you as well . It’s crazy.

Interviewer} Ok .

Reggie} Remember, I was the one who came up with that compaign . That compaign that entailed, school pupils getting healthy options of school meals, to lower the rate of obesity in young children .

Interviewer} Really ?, oh alright .

Reggie} Yeah . But also remember, I served you a cup of coffee, you liked yours just black with no sugar . So I gave you some, and I spilled it all over your shirt .

Interviewer} Hmm .

Reggie} Oh my god, this is absolutely fantastic, I’m meeting the, Michael Jefferson . This is just brilliant . You know, we should hang sometime, we should go to a resteraunt, the drinks are on me .

Interviewer} Excuse me, excuse me, what are you actually doing here ?.

Reggie} Ohh, I don’t really know . What sort of camera is that ?.

 

Interviewer} I don’t know .

{Reggie walks out of the room}

Reggie} Absolute waste of time, nothing even happened, I tried talking to him, got nothing out of him and also, where are the files ?, just came in here for nothing . All to see that stupid jock with a camera . Thought he was well known friend of mine, turns out, no, he’s just a nobody . That appears to have a camera stood next to him, for no apparent reason . Someday, he will find himself in the gutter .

Interviewer} Excuse me, could you keep it down a bit ?.

Reggie} Yeah yeah, shut your big gaping mouth, you wet blanket . Change your underwear, man, you stink .

Interviewer} Oh that’s nice, thank you for the incomvenience .

Reggie} Your welcome .

{Next scene, he returns back at the office and he’s out of breath, the boys are confused}

Ponyboy} Woah, are you alright, Reg ?, you look like you’ve just took part in a thirty mile marathon .

Reggie} Yeah I’m alright, I’m just out of breath, I just ran five hundred miles .

{The boys start singing and joking around}

Everyone} I just ran five hundred miles, seventy hundred to go, I’ve got five hundred miles, I’m at all time low . Five hundred miles to go . Everybody sing along . Everybody clap your hands .

Reggie} Guys stop, stop singing, I’m being serious, I’m bushwacked, have you seen how many corridors there are in this building ? I had to run on the left hand side, then I had to go through another corridor, then I had to do it on repeat, I found the photo copy room, you know the room where they do all the photo copying, yeah, I go in there to collect some files, then turns out, there’s some guy in there, interviewing this other young man about financial problems, turns out yeah, there’s no selection of files, that whole treck for nothing, it’s ludicrous, I did all of that,  until I found the office, right, now mind you, I need to sit on my office chair . { Then he goes to sit on his chair, he flops back} ” Arghhhh, god do I miss this ” .

Dallas} Alright, Reg, you were only gone for five days, you weren’t away for a year, your office chair didn’t run away from you .

Reggie} I know, Dallas, but in case you didn’t know, the office chair is my favorite feature from my office, so it doesn’t matter whether I have been away for five days . Now I’m back in the office, we’re back in business . Oh I remember this . { Picks up office phone} ” Haha, hello, hello, hello ” . Still works as well, high quality .

Ponyboy} Hey guys, you know what, I’ve got an idea .

Johnny} What is it, what’s your idea ?.

Ponyboy} Right so, remember when Reggie did that documentary ?.

Dallas} Yeah, so ?.

Ponyboy} Well, I heard that it’s gonna be on tonight .

Johnny} Wait really, what time ?.

Ponyboy} It’s gonna be on at seven PM, exactly.

Two Bit} Wait but that’s now, isn’t it ?.

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, it is seven PM, ok in that case, give me the remote .

Johnny} Roger that, Mr Curtis . { He finds the remote and lends it to Pony}

Two Bit} Aw sweet, put it on, put it on .

Reggie} Oh god, I don’t know though, I don’t think I’m ready to see myself on tv, with a big mainstream .

Ponyboy} Yeah yeah, alright, but remember, it’s not just you who’s gonna be on the documentary, the other guy’s gonna be on it as well, I keep forgetting his name, um .

Two Bit} It’s Anxious Akbar .

Ponyboy} Oh yeah, that’s it, that’s his name, he was the chosen one, he was the one who was supposed to be starring in the documentary, so he’ll obviously receive more segments, you will probably recieve one, but it’s still cool though .

Steve} Yeah, I think we better tune into the channel, it might finish soon .

Ponyboy} Yeah that’s a good idea . { He starts getting up} ” I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it, I’m not gonna do it .

Johnny} Alright fine, I’ll do it, here we go, what channel is it on, NBC ?.

Dallas} Yeah it should be NBC, if not, try the documentary and reality channel .

{Johnny clicks through channels}

Johnny} Right ok, NBC, NBC, ok no, I can’t find that one, let me try the science channel, cause it’s nature like, nature is related to science, isn’t it ?, yeah I think so, it must be, what else would it be . { He finds the science channel} ” Ahhh great, here we go, found it ” .

Ponyboy} Aw sweet, took you long enough, I thought we were gonna be here forever .

Reggie} Well go on then, tune into the channel .

Johnny} Alrighty then . { He goes back and forth through different shows and documentaries} ” Ah here we are, reality and science, it should be somewhere around here . Oh ok, it’s here, I think I found the documentary, guys ” .

Dallas} Ah great, ok well, click on it and see what happens .

Johnny} Roger that. { He clicks on it and the documentary starts playing} . { You can see Reggie on the documentary}

Ponyboy} Oh my god . Look who’s on tv, it’s good old Reggie boy, talking about nature, he doesn’t know that much but it’s fine .

Reggie} Pony, please, don’t talk too fast, it’s making me feel a bit nautious .

Johnny} Is he alright ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah he’s fine, he’s just never been on tv before . You’ll get used to it, the fame will get to your head, then the next thing you know, you’ll be cleaning toilets.

Reggie} Ohhh, I hope not.

{It shows the documentary, you can hear it in the back round}

{Reggie’s voice in the documentary} So yeah, this is coming from a guy who specializes in mental health in my day to day life, in fact it’s my job to make sure that everyone is healthy and fit, and I think it’s a number 1 priority to do so, because mental health always comes first before anything else .

Ponyboy} Hahaha, that’s funny. ” This is coming from a guy who specializes in mental health in my day to day life ” god, what are you like ?.

Reggie} Yeah, that’s because I do specialize in mental health, that’s my job .

Two Bit} I thought you worked in environment and house construction .

Reggie} Two, please, now’s not the right time to bring this up, I’ll tell you another day .

Two Bit} But do you though ?, do you ?, cause if so, what do you do ?.

Ponyboy} Two Bit, shut up, I wanna see what Reggie says next, this documentary is fascinating, woah, how do you feel about this, Reggie ?.

Reggie} Oh I don’t know, Pony, it’s somewhat strange seeing myself on tv, but it actually turned out alright, I thought it would flop . Luckily, the other guy has the most segements .

Two Bit} Um excuse me, the other guy has a name, when he was born, the nurse wrapped him around in a hospital blanket and gave him in a name, they didn’t call him The Other guy, didn’t they ?, no, I thought so .

Johnny} You know the one thing that triggers me the most ?, there are no birds or creatures in this documentary .

Dallas} Haha, what did you expect ?.

Johnny} Well no, I was expecting like one or two birds, but there’s absolutely none .

Dallas} What, were you waiting for Burt Kwouk to jump out of the bushes ?, that ain’t happening, ain’t happening .

Johnny} No, what the hell ?.

Reggie} You know what, guys, turn the tv off, that’s enough of the documentary for one day .

Ponyboy} What, don’t you wanna wait for the bit where they roll the credits ?.

Reggie} Are you serious, that’s gonna take like five days for the credits to come on, you have to get past this shit first, I’m going to take a nap, it’s just too much information to digest . { Then he leaves and goes upstairs to a room where he sleeps}

Johnny} Well, that went well, do you think he liked it ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah, of course he did, he loved it, he looked so happy to see his face for the very first time, looks like it payed off .

Steve} Luckily, Reg is asleep, he’ll wake up tomorrow, fully refreshed . { he puts his hand up} ” Hi five ”

{Pony puts his hand up as well and they do a high five}

Ponyboy} Yeah, high five .

{They suddenly hear, loud music, booming from upstairs, they realize that Reggie is not asleep, there’s music playing, plus Reggie is raging}

Reggie} Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh stupid hahhhhhhhhhhhhh, oh god !!!! . { You can hear it in the back round}

{They look at each other, all weird}

Ponyboy} Do you think we should watch the movie at your place ?.

Dallas} Yeah .

Ponyboy} Hey, do you know what, we might be able to do at my house, I’m sure that Darry won’t mind, he’ll let us, he likes the movie as well, so .

Dallas} Oh really, oh ok, yeah that sounds fine, I hope I’m not interrupting you guys in any way.

Ponyboy} Yeah no, don’t worry about it, I’ll have a chat with him, I’m sure he’ll let us off on this occasion .

Dallas} Ah nice one . Ok, I think we better get going . Hey guys, me and Pony are gonna head out, we’ll see you tomorrow .

Steve} Sure thing, ok see ya, have a nice time.

{Next scene, Pony and Dallas are walking to Pony’s house}

Dallas} Look man, are you sure that this is ok, are you sure that Darry won’t flip out and burn the house down .

Ponyboy} Look ok, he’s not as bad as he sounds, he can be a real great person at times, I’m sure he’ll let us, if anything, he will watch it with us . Come on, my house is just right here, I’ll knock, he should open the door . { He knocks on the door} { Meanwhile, Soda walks down the stairs}

Soda} Look, I swear to god, if it’s the Johova witnesses, I’m gonna go mad . One more knock and I’m going blind ” { He opens the door}  ” Oh, it’s you guys, I’m sorry, I thought it was the Johova Witnesses, they usually start knocking around about now, so anyway, what can I do for you guys ?.

Ponyboy} Oh hi, Soda, it’s nice to see you, I hope we’re not interrupting anything .

Soda} No it’s ok, you’re not disturbing anything, I was just in the middle of some kung Fu training, but it’s ok, cause I’m finished anyway, so .

Dallas} Hey man, how’s it going, Soda, you’re looking ripped, ay man, you do squats, you look so different since the last time I saw you, have you been working out ?.

Soda} Yeah I sure have, I have this like regime that I follow, staying fit, you know ?.

Dallas} Aw sick .

Soda} Well, do you guys wanna come in, it’s a little bit chilly out there, I can’t let you guys stand outside in the freezing cold, why don’t you guys have a seat ?, make yourselves at home . Knock yourselves out .

Ponyboy} Oh cool, thanks bro . { So they come inside and sit down} ” So, where is Darry, is he here ?.

Soda} Um no, he’s actually out, he just popped by at the grocery store to get milk, he won’t be back until nine, so I sort of have the house to myself .

Dallas} So, are we gonna watch this movie then ?.

Ponyboy} Oh yes, I totally forgot.

Soda} Ohhh, a movie ay, what movie is it ?.

Ponyboy} Oh, it’s Big Wednesday, it’s like a film about surfing, it’s quite good . My dad had a blue ray copy of it, he watched it when it came out, he watched it in 78 . You probably haven’t heard of it, it’s quite an underrated film . Have you heard of it ?.

Soda} Yeah, are you kidding me, I love that movie, I actually have a poster of it in my room, I’ll show you, it’s sick .

Dallas} Ah that’s sick, it’s a mad coincidence .

Soda} Is it alright if I watch it with you guys ?.

Ponyboy} Yes of course you can, and also, remember that comment you made on this Facebook post, you did this one about um, this one about when we went to Mykonos for a holiday and you took a photo and then you said ” Look at my eldest brother on the right ” and you put an emoji of a fat guy with grey curly hair and you didn’t get a reply. So this time, if you get a reply on your facebook post, then you’re definetly gonna have to do an update on your vlog, cause they are a bunch of restless viewers out there, who need their daily updates . But not only do you have to do that, but you have to talk about how Darry looks like the guy from The Goombay Dance band, do you think you can do that ?.

Soda} Oh man, oh he would find out that I said that and he would beat the living shit out of me, but really, you’re the one who said that .

Ponyboy} I know, but just don’t say that I said it, I’m gonna stay clear of all this, if someone visits your vlog website and you get a few subscribers and someone replies to that message, then you’ll thank me later .

Soda} Oh ok then, it’s a deal, a deal is a deal, I’ll do it.

Ponyboy} Ok brilliant, it’s settled then, come on Dal, let’s go watch the movie . { A few minutes later, they finished watching the movie, they are all in Soda’s room, he is doing a tour of his room, he has posters of different movies, including Big Wednesday, The Outsiders, Grease, The Wonderers, The Terminator, Iron Eagle and No Retreat No Surrender and more, he’s got quite an 80s themed room, all of them are surprised}

Soda} Wow, that movie was something else, it never gets old .

Dallas} Yeah, it’s great at telling you a story, I’m usually facinated in that sort of stuff as well, so . Ok so, what’s this ?.

Soda} Right so, this is my room, what do you think, pretty cool, huh ?.

Dallas} Yeah it’s great, I’m loving all the posters, it’s definetely got that 80s feel, if I had a room like this, I would never leave . Woah, is that the poster that you were talking about ?.

Soda} What, the Big Wednesday one ?, yeah that’s the one, I got it on Friday, I got it well cheap, twenty dollars, can you believe that shit, I swear to god, it’s amazing .

Ponyboy} Yeah, he has quite a tidy room, he’s always cleaning it, day and night, he likes being tidy, if there’s  a mess, then he’ll go nuts .

Dallas} Yeah, you have quite a nice room, thanks for letting us come here tonight, saved half the trouble .

Soda} Yeah no problem, you guys are welcome here any time you want . Oh yeah, I’ve got one more thing to show you, I got this sweet new sound system, what do you think ?.

Dallas} Oh wow, that’s so cool, I bet it sounds good, do your neighbors care at all ?.

Soda} Nah, I think they’re fine with it, I don’t really turn it up that loud anyway, I put it on the middle setting . Look, I’ll show you . { What’s going up by Four Non Blondes starts playing, but it’s the meme version} { He starts dancing}

Dallas} Aw sick, I love this song, we should all just stop talking and dance to this song . { Dallas starts dancing as well}

{A few minutes later, Sodapop and Dally are still jumping around the place, literally off of their heads, Pony joins in as well}

{ Next scene, Darry returns back at the house}

Darry} Hey Soda, I picked up that Bulk Powder, you wanted ?, you know the black tub, they didn’t have the red one, so I figured that I’d buy that one . Hey you know what, there’s this guy across the street, selling newspapers, he said ” You want a newspaper ?, it’s twenty five cents ” and I was like ” No thank you ” I’m not buying anything that that guy would sell . { Then he walks into the living room, he sees Pony, Soda and Dallas dancing and jumping everywhere . { He stands there, being clueless} ” What the hell ?” .

Soda} Come on, Dally, put your back into it .

Dallas} Shut up !!!!! . { Out of breath}

{Darryl just stands there, confused}

Darryl} Oh hell no .

Soda} You need to go a bit faster, you need to feel the beat .

Dallas} Stop talking !!! .

Darryl} Ok, maybe I’ll come back agan later, I guess it’s the garage for me tonight . { Walks out}

 

{After a few minutes went past, the boys are asleep, they wake up and see Darry standing there with a frying pan}

Dallas} Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .

Darry} Get out my house .

{A few minutes later, Dallas is standing outside, Darry is having a go at him for staying over at his house}

Darry} Don’t come knocking on my door, with people that I don’t even fucking know, I’m looking at you crazy, you’re looking at me crazy, cause I ain’t letting you in my goddam house . What were you guys even doing in there ?.

Dallas} Right so first of all, Pony kindly let me crash here, because we couldn’t crash at the office . Reggie was keeping the office for a meeting . So Soda opened the door and let us in . I mean, is that ok ?.

Darry} Oh ok, that’s fine I guess, I’ll have a chat with him tomorrow about it, just the next time you come to my house, don’t make a mess, you’re leaving coke cans all over my hardwood floor . Ok well, I have to go now, so excuse me . { Leaves and shuts the door}

Dallas} See ya .

{Darry comes back again}

Darryl} Ok no, I’m not okay with this, why would you think I’m okay with this ?, I am fuming, I am fuming . ” The shoes ah ” { Pulls out shoe and threatens to attack him with it}

Ponyboy} Woah hey, what the hell are you doing ?.

Darryl} Stay out of this, Fonzy .

Dallas} Woah hey, careful with the clown shoe, little man .  { Darry attacks him with the shoe}

{ Then Soda comes outside}

Soda} Woah, what the heck ?.

Ponyboy} No idea, honestly, I don’t know, you don’t know, he doesn’t know, we all don’t know . I thought he was gonna be in the kitchen, making pork belly .

Soda} Well turns out, he isn’t, isn’t he ?.

Ponyboy} Yeah no shit .

Soda} Hey, sorry Darry, sorry to interrupt, but um, I’m afraid that Pony has thrown away your workout tapes . I don’t know where they’ve gone, they were on the chest of drawers and now they are gone, Darry, do you have any idea ?.

Darry} My what is gone, what can you not find ?.

Soda} Your workout tapes, you know the ones, the ones with Franco Culumbu, yeah they’re gone, I just checked .

{Pony starts shouting as well}

Ponyboy} Yo, I should of told you to put them in his closet .

Soda} That’s what you should of done.

Ponyboy} You plank .

Soda} You wish .

Ponyboy} Anyway, can’t he just use the Jane Fonda ones, they are no different .

Darry} No I’m not using the Jane Fonda ones .

Ponyboy} You could say that again .

{Darry points at him with a angry face and goes inside to find him} ” I’m not using the Jane Fonda tapes, forget about it, forget that shit ” .

{Dallas is standing there, confused}

Soda} You know what, just go, go, go now, while you still can, go, run for your life, Dallas, run like the wind . Born free, as free as the wind blows .

{Dallas just runs off}

Ponyboy} Arghhh, thank god he doesn’t know .

{Pony just stands there, busted}

Update on what happened in Darry’s house}

{Dallas just escaped from the scene, Darry found about what happened with his workout tape selection, after Pony told him everything, Darry made him do work around the house all while Soda just sits there, doing nothing, Reggie called off the community meeting, after complaining that he felt sluggish, after he went mad in the office, Darry found out what happened with Pony, when he told Soda what to do after their special deal, he also got in trouble . Darry made him eat raw mushrooms, he got quite sick, now, he has to do an update on his vlog website.}

{In the credits, it shows Soda talking on his vlog channel, they made a deal, if someone replies to Soda’s post comment which he made on Facebook, then he would have to say it on the vlog, and he did . }

Soda} Hi guys and girls, welcome to this, my um vlog, oh fucking hell, rabbits, oh sorry guys, my brother Darry keeps sending me photos of rabbits. { Starts shouting on the phone} ” Darry !!, Darry !!, stop sending me photos of rabbits, you burk. I’m doing my live stream. Oh sorry guys, you can see the amount of hell I have to go through every single day, but you know, it’s fine by me, we’re all happy families, happy families, let’s all hold hands and drink wine . { Then the vlog cuts} ” Right so, now, you are watching Sodapop’s Weekly vlog, every single night, I update you guys n paticular showbiz and gossip, so I’ll be doing that . So guys, remember when I said that I had these um, what do you call it, num chucks, yeah, I do have them and I’m a professional, in fact, I’m so good that I ended almost killing one of my friends with it, but he’s fine now, he just lost a tooth, so it’s nothing serious . Look, I’ll show you what I learned so far, I learned how to do self defense but also, I learned how to whack someone on the head with it. { Then he gets up and tries to demonstrate the use of the num chucks} ”  Right so, here we go, you hold them like this, then you gotta have this stance and when you’ve mastered that, then you can get on to the fun part, which is attacking someone . Now don’t worry, I won’t smash the camera, I will go slow, this is my first time, right so, this is my classic Kung Fu move, Uno Kirro Mucka Birro { Smiles and bends over to get the num chucks} . ” Ok” { Then he swings the num chucks and whacks himself in the face} ” Owwww fuck, e g I J oh, oh my god, see that is why you should stand up straight . ” Right, that’s enough fighting for one day, now I’m gonna tell you something very funny . Right so, you know Darry, he is my eldest brother, he is so delusional, he thinks he looks like Brad Pitt, yeah, but he doesn’t, he looks like that guy from The Goombay Dance band, or or maybe the guy from Tight Fit . { Then suddenly, Darry enters his room}

Darry} Soda, who are you talking to ?” .

Soda} No one .

Darry} Oh really, I know you’re talking to someone, you’re not gonna fool me with that old trick .

Soda} Nooooo, Darry, get out of my room. ” Dar, Stop calling me, stop calling me, I need to do this, errrr .

{Darry starts talking to the camera}

Darry} Don’t listen to him, he’s crazy, he’s a crazy man .

{Soda hits him with a silicone tea coaster}

Soda} How stupid . { Hits him}

{Darry falls back}

{Soda turns around, looks at the camera and smiles}

{ Then suddenly, Darry gets up and punches him}

Darry} One minute, Is that my camera ?.
