Scenes with Tina 76

Thank you. Thank you. Erm, first of all, I’d like to thank my co-stars the marvellous Leonardo DiCaprio… Hi, babe. …and um, the gorgeous Brad Pitt who are absolutely wonderful!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, I’m Ch… uh… I’d like to thank the director for casting me as the new James Bond and I’ve got to say I’m looking forward to the sequel where I get a chance to snug Britney Spears. Thank you very much. (blows a kiss)

To be honest, I was a bit worried about the shower scenes, but Mr. Spielberg shot them in the best possible taste. Thank you, Steven. This is for you. (blows a kiss)

Hey. Hey. Um… Yeah. I just want to say it’s brilliant to receive this award for best ballsy blown with a spanner in an action movie and, um, yeah. I’m chuffed to bits. Thanks a lot. Cheers.

It was a great honor for me as an English actor to be asked to play the role of the young John F. Kennedy. I thank you all and the academy. Thank you.

Tina

My commiserations go to the other nominees Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts who just weren’t quite good enough to win. (blows a kiss)

I’d like to say a big thank you to the American academy for this award for best actor ever, in everything. (clears throats) And I’d also like to say that I’m going to share it with the rest of S Club 7, but I’m not going to. Na-na-na-na-na!

Hey, Paul, that was really mean.

What?

Yeah. Not sharing the Oscar with us.

HBHannah and Bradley

Yeah.

Oh, come on! You got one. Each didn’t…

Tina

Yeah, but…

Oh, shut up!

Wait a minute. Shut up!

Don’t you see what’s happening? We’re not the Oscars in Hollywood. We’re all having the same dream again.

AAll

Oh, no.

So we haven’t won any awards then.

No.

Tina

And we’re not famous.

Nope.

We’re just stranded in the middle of the desert.

Just look at it.

Deserted.

Well observed, Hannah.

Come on. Let’s get going.

Tina

Why does America have to be so big?

Because it’s got 260 million people in it.

Oh. So where are they all?

It’s got about many people you’re thinking they have a few more loose.

Paul, what are you doing?

Look. (pointing to the sign saying Loo in British)

Oh, yes!

CCowboy

Howdy, folks.

AAll

Hi.

What’s up?

‘Scuse me. Can I use your loo please?

CCowboy

Sure, for $50.

What?

CCowboy

You don’t have to use it, but the next bathroom’s about 300 miles down the road.

Here, 10. Is that enough?

CCowboy

I’m sorry, but I gotta make a living out here. There’s nothing else to do. Make it $20.

Guys, can you help me out? Please, please unburst him! Guys, I’ll pay you back. I’ll be your friend.

Hannah, you are our friend.

I’ll be even more of a friend. I’ll do anything. I’ll make you cups of teas in the mornings.

And make us toast to marmite.

Yes!

And tidy our veggies for us.

Yes! Anything!

AAll

All right.

There we go. Enjoy.

CCowboy

So you’re all going to Hollywood to act in the movies.

Yeah. Well, maybe if we get lucky.

CCowboy

I don’t like acting. Don’t seem real to me.

Well, actually, we’re in a band. We’re hoping to get some work in a club and maybe get a record deal.

CCowboy

You mean you sing songs?

Tina

We try.

CCowboy

I don’t like songs. I like the music of the desert. Rattlesnake rattling across the sand. Sound of a bats’ swing squeaking in the night air. Gopher sitting on a flat top rock, breaking wind in the key of B-flat minor.

CCowboy

That’s Nature’s music.

Tina

Somehow, um, I don’t think that’ll get in the charts.

CCowboy

You want to make money? Get out of pop music. Get into bathrooms. I got a chain of bathrooms across every desert in this country. Arizona, Texas, Utah. Not everybody wants to listen to music, but everybody sure wants to take a whiz.

It’s a good thought, actually.

What is taking her so long?

AAll

Hannah!

That’s better. Come on then! What are you waiting for?

Okay, guys. Well, you better enjoy this cos this could be our last meal for some time.

Tina, what are you doing?

Tina

Hannah, we spent all that money on emptying your bladder. We’re not about to spend anymore on filling it.

Hey, guys!

JJJon, Jo, Hannah and Tina

What?

Ridgeback Woods is near here.

I’m sorry. Are we supposed to be impressed by that?

Yeah. Because my parents talk about Ridgeback Woods all the time. I’ve got relatives that live there. My great uncle’s cousin’s brother twice removed. He lives there.

Why was he removed?

Because he reoffended.

Tina

Maybe we should stop by and see if any of your relatives are still there.

I fair of way, Tina. You’re interested in my relatives.

Tina

I was thinking, uh, maybe we can borrow some money off them.

Tina!

Tina

Sorry.

What a great idea!

Well, they say that some actors were given a camera and sent out into the woods to make this movie, but some people who disappeared in the woods while making a movie.

Sounds spooky.

Sounds confusing.

Sounds like it’s been done before.

Then when the lights start to fade, that’s when the weird noises started to happen.

(hiccups) Oh. Sorry. Fizzy lemonade.

Go on.

Anyhow, they go out of the woods and they started to make this film. Well, pretty soon, they got lost in the night. That’s when the weird things started happening. (He imagines the man walked in the woods and got lost in the night) First, one of them disappears. (He imagines one of them disappears as the man says “I’m so scared.”) Then they all disappear. (He imagines that they all disappear and the man says “There you are.”) The only thing that was left was the tapes from the film that they were making, and the tapes from the other film that the other people were making when they disappeared.

AAll

Wow.

Tina

So they disappeared up their own film.

Nobody knows. But there’s this website where you can read all about it. At least there was a website.

Don’t tell me and that’s disappeared as well.

Exactly. Scary, huh?

Well, I still want to go and see if my relatives are still living there.

If they are still there, I’m pretty sure they won’t be living.

Tina

Paul, are you sure you know where you’re going?

Yeah. We’ve just gotta turn left again.

Tina

We just turn left again.

We turn left again and then we turn left again.

Paul, I think that’s one more again than we should have turned.

Look, don’t worry. All right?

Tina

Is this it then?

Paul, if this is where your relatives lived, they must’ve been trees.

Right, this is very interesting. Now let’s go.

There is a small problem.

What?

We’ve run out of petrol.

AAll

Oh.

Tina

How can you run out of petrol, you complete muffin?

You realize that if you don’t put the petrol in the car, it stops.

All right. It’s not my fault. I forgot to look at the gauge.

So what are we gonna do now?

Jo will fix it.

It’s run out of petrol, Bradley. How can I fix that?

I don’t know. Maybe you could, um, change engine up a little bit and make it run on some word or some leaves or… (slaps himself) or some mashed-up mosquitoes.

Yeah, right.

Bradley, why don’t you ever talk any sense?

Because it’s too easy.

Next to you to suggest that we dig for oil and turn that into petrol and put that in the car.

You’re right. That’s ridiculous.

Exactly.

How are we gonna dig without a shovel?

Look, guys. There’s only one thing for us to do. Some of us are gonna go and look for some petrol while the other guys stay here.

What? We’re going then?

Well, I think Paul should go.

Why me?

Because you’re the one that forgot to look at the petrol gauge.

But Jo forgot to look at the petrol gauge as well, so why doesn’t she go?

Cos I weren’t driving, you hoof. What about Rachel?

Why me?

Cos you get spooked easily. This might help you get over it.

Oh, thanks, Jo.

What about Jon?

Or Bradley?

Or maybe Hannah.

What are you saying me for?

Because no one’s mentioned your name yet.

I could even see you mentioned that.

Yeah, but you just sit there all the time, right.

Tina

(screams then calms down) Now listen. We’ve got to decide what to do. Now, what are our choices?

Oh, yes. Our choices. Well, our choices are either we can sit here in the spooky woods for hours and die or we can go for a walk in the spooky woods for hours and die.

Not really, um, much of a choice there, Rach. That’s kind of like saying “Should we sit here and wait for big monster to come and bite our arm off, or make a monster walk for a little bit…and then let him bite your arm off?”

I’ll make it walk, definitely.

Yeah, but it’ll probably work up more of an appetite and end up eating your other arm as well.

That is a good point. Stay here definitely.

Well, I’m gonna look for some petrol. So who’s coming with me?

Tina

So, do you know where we’re going?

Uh, yeah. North. We’re going north.

Why is that?

Because south east and west in the wrong direction.

Tina

Just don’t get us lost, that’s all.

Since when have I ever got you lost?

Tina

Since every time you’ve ever tried to find your way. Anywhere?

(clears throats)

Tina

The thing is not to be scared. Right. How do you do that?

Right. Well, you just got to think logically because it’s only dark. All darkness is is an absence of light and it can’t hurt you.

That’s good. I like that.

You see, all dark is doing is stopping you from seeing things.

You mean it’s stopping you from seeing nasty things that can hurt you.

What? Well, yeah.

Tina

That’s not so good. I don’t like that.

Um. Should we start again? You see, all darkness is is an absence of light.

(screaming)

Tina

I just think we were lost in the woods.

RPRachel and Paul

So did I.

(screaming) I just think we were lost in the woods!

JJJo, Jon and Bradley

So did I.

AAll

We were lost in the woods!

What’s that noise?!

I don’t know.

Tina

It’s just nothing.

Nothing doesn’t make a noise like that.

Tina

Maybe it’s something then.

Yeah, but what sort of something?

Probably a mouse.

Tina

A mouse with big clumpy boots on?

Paul. Paul, go and see what it is.

I’m not going out there.

Jon, can I see what it is?

I’m not going out there!

It’s coming nearer!

Tina

It’s getting nearer.

AAll

Whoa!

Thank goodness.

What’s that?

What is it?

Hey there. Thought I’d come to see how you’re getting on.

AAll

Oh.

Tina

Goodness.

Wait a minute.

AAll

What?

Where’s Bradley?

He’s gone.

The monsters have got him. I know it.

Tina

Monsters don’t exist.

The monster that doesn’t exist got him.

Tina

Oh, no. Poor Bradley.

(calling) Bradley! Bradley!

AAll

Bradley!

Oh, guys! Is that monster gone yet?

He’s here!

Oh. I got some good news for you, guys. I found some petrol.

AAll

Aw.

I thought if I want to be a counsellor. I just think they’re great at solving up in problems.

No. Just causing them.

Bradley, it’s not that kind of counsellor. It’s just there were for the people who look after the foods at summer camp. It’s like being red coat at Butlins.

Yeah, but without the red coat.

Oh, that’s the shame. But he’s really looking good on me at the moment.

Tina

Gotta be worth a phone call.

Yeah, absolutely. Has anyone got a quarter?

(reading) Camp Elysium. Proprietor: Blair Beazley, Ph.D. “Cogito Ergo Sum.”

Blimey, you can say that again, mate.

No, I don’t think I can actually.

What does it mean?

Tina

Roughly translated. He who pops first, pops loudest.

I thought I recognized it from somewhere.

Tina

I’m sorry, but in what possible is this? A camp?

Where are the tents?

Or the shower blocks?

Or the cow pats? Well, you can’t have a campsite without cow pats. It’d be like having a cheese and pickle sandwich right the pickles.

Tina

Or the cheese.

Well, maybe they have a different idea of what camping is here.

I don’t know about you, but when I went away with the 27th flourish of sea scouts, well, we didn’t quite feel the need to bring our own library.

Tina

It looks more like a university than a kids camp.

This Beazley about? He does know we are, right? I mean he’s not expecting proper teachers or anything.

No, no, no. Of course not.

Tina

You didn’t perchance spin him that old yarn about you being at school of Prince William, did you?

Yeah, like I would.

Don’t worry, Teen. He only uses that line on girls.

Or they guy dog.

I reckon Paul used that line so often. He almost believes it himself.

No, I don’t! Now look. Just go and fetch my case from the car, you nasty little commoner.

Maybe we should think about this for a moment. This place feels really weird.

Rachel, Professor Beazley is offering us 300 a week plus bored.

Didn’t I say “I love weird?”

Where is everybody?

JJennifer

In the hall waiting for the lectures to begin.

Lectures?

JJennifer

Uh-huh. This morning, we’re doing dark matter and wormholes.

Oh, biology. Nice!

JJennifer

No. Astrophysics.

Of course! Astrophysics.

Well, don’t let us keep you. We wouldn’t want you missing the start of your lecture.

JJennifer

Not very likely seeing how we’re the ones giving it.

AAlbert

Welcome to clever camp.

Oh, right. What?

Okay. Soak him.

All right. I admit it. I may have slightly exaggerated the order educational achievement, but I was only saying what we wanted to hear.

Tina

Yeah, but Oxford?

All I said is that we’ve been to Oxford which we have.

Only for one night, when we played at my niece Anna’s birthday party.

Did I say that would graduate it?

Yes, but now we have to play a concert of classical music!

Forget soaking. Drowning!

Look, look. I can explain!

Go on then. Explain.

You’re right. I can’t.

Look, we could try and bluff it. You know, improvise.

Tina

Improvise? You can’t improvise with classical music. It got rules.

Beazley made the performances part of the deal. No performance, no check.

Tina

On the other hand, rules were made to be broken.
