THE SCRIPT/THE STORY - Part 4
Bunny mourns, the suspects are interrogated, Jack confesses
| Chesty lies dead throughout the interval. She is discovered by Booby and Whackoff, who go off and tell Bunny. Bunny rushes to the scene distraught. She cannot believe that Chesty is dead, and weeps over Chesty's body. | |
| Song: Bunny's Lament | |
| Whackoff: | By now, I was beginning to realise that life at Saucy Jacks had its ups, and its downs. So Chesty was dead, but life, love and glitterboots must go on. Cheer up Bunny ! |
| Song: Cheer Up Bunny | |
| Chesty is taken away, shoulder high. Bunny looks on, crying. | |
| Whackoff: | So, you see, life is not so very bad after all. |
| Anna: | Actually, I think it's rather tragic. |
| Bunny cries. | |
| Anna: | Oh gosh, I must find Jubilee. (To Sammy) This is where I take off. |
| Sammy: | So you really are a Space Vixen ? |
| Anna: | Oh, every inch. So, duty calls. |
| Sammy: | Thanks for a wonderful evening. |
| Anna: | You know, you play so beautifully, I thought I was going to .... faint. I must go, Jubilee may be in danger. I have crime to fight, and glitter to strut. Good-bye. You know where I am if you come across anything suspicious, right. |
| Bunny cries again. | |
| Mitch: | Drink up doc. Come on Booby, let's call it a day. |
| Booby: | And what a day Mitch ! Did you see them ? Did you see how free and gorgeous they were ? I could do it, I could. Just give me a little lurex, a little love, a pinch of PVC, and I'd be away. Away from here, away from Jack, and fighting for my sisters ! |
| Mitch: | Maybe one day, but it's a dream Booby, and a dream aint good enough, you've got to live it. |
| Booby: | You just wait Mitch Maypole. I will. No matter what I have to do, I'll do it. I swear to god as my witness, I will never be submissive again. |
| Whackoff: | (To Mitch) Your quite the little psychiatrist aren't you ? |
| Mitch: | I do my best. |
| Whackoff: | Does she know about .... your little secret ? |
| Mitch: | Of course not. It's a risk I can't afford to take. I'd be an outlaw. Condemned for a tiny weakness that just feels so good. And besides, Jack would kill me. I'd expose all the trade that passes in and out of here, and that would never do. |
| Whackoff: | It's time you showed me a little something .... of your own. It would give me an idea of the full extent .... of your condition. |
| Mitch: | For your book ? |
| Whackoff: | For my book ? Oh yes, my book. Trust me, I'm a doctor. |
| Mitch: | Alright then. I suppose a quick look won't do any harm. |
| Whackoff: | That was easy ! |
| Anna: | I can't find my funk pack ! Oh, I'm picking up signs of lust from Sector 6. Where's Jubilee ? Bunny, we must do something. We must act now ! |
| Bunny: | Without Jubilee ? |
| Anna: | 'Duty before all' Bunny. Academy Code Number 1. We must continue her work. We have taken a vow ! |
| Bunny: | (Thumps table) You're right Anna. A vow, to the honour of the Space Vixens. Inter-galactic ambassadors of justice .... and style. |
| Anna: | By all that glitters Bunny. |
| Both: | 'To live and die by the power of disco !' |
| Anna and Bunny draw their disco beams | |
| Anna: | (To others) I'm sorry, but we're going to have to treat you all as potential killers. |
| Bunny: | If you will form an orderly queue at the vibro chamber. |
| Anna: | Parked at the rear of the building. |
| Bunny: | We'll try to make this as painless as possible. We owe it to our leader. |
| Anna: | And you owe it to yourselves to reveal all you can. |
| Whackoff: | Er, I'll go first. I have nothing to hide. |
| Booby: | Will there be a test ? |
| Mitch: | Oh I hope not ! |
| Bunny: | No, but we may be forced to probe your hidden depths. |
| Anna: | If you don't mind that is. There will be refreshments. |
| Booby: | Oh how nice. You see Mitch, even in times of intergalactic struggle, manners cost nothing. |
| The suspects are all led off, and Jack returns, an obvious smile on his face. | |
| Jack: | (Singing) 'Glitterboots, saved my life'. (To audience) Guess what I've been doing ? Bet you wish you did it with me too ! (Laughs) Alright, I give up. Where's my staff ? Funny, how they desert you, when you need them the most. I was never loved at home. Little sissy got all the attention. I got second billing in a chintz bow tie. And they never clapped (best to clap at this point !). Not, until I met the girl next door. Sweet Honey, oo how we danced. We were the toast of the cabaret. The class act of Clitvar. The tinselled tease of the Tufted Shag. The dog's bollocks of Blackpool. Oh yes, we played them all, and then she was gone. And I thought I'd never wave my wand again. |
| Fairground music plays, and Jack becomes increasingly disturbed by voices in his head. Jubilee/Honey appears dressed in a white towelling bathrobe, her hair wrapped in a bath towel. | |
| Jubilee: | Jack ? Jack, what are you doing ? |
| Jack: | Chesty's dead. |
| Jubilee: | What ? |
| Jack: | I killed her ! I love you Honey. I need you, I always did. I rescued you from a life of rustic hell so we could be together. |
| Jubilee: | But Jack, a killer ? That wasn't part of the deal. |
| Jack: | I was a killer. Now I'm yours. I made you remember ! |
| Jubilee: | I made myself Jack. |
| Jack: | Now, you can make me. None of this matters. Mitch can have the club. I don't need Saucy Jack any more. I want a fresh start. |
| Jubilee: | What did you have in mind, knife throwing ! |
| Jack: | No, I'm serious. No more cheap tricks. Just you and me. We don't need anything else. |
| Jubilee: | I do ! |
| Jack: | What ? |
| Jubilee: | Love, respect, independence, good head .... and call me old fashioned, a man who doesn't kill people ! |
| Jack: | You can have all that. If I had you, I wouldn't need anything else. You wouldn't leave me again, would you ? Just think about it. |
