Scenes with Joe 5

JJoe

I'll get it. Oh, well done.

JJoe

Mum. I need to see Malcolm. There was a girl in the shop looking for you.

I don't care. You will. Tell Malcolm that I'm seriously considering leaving the band.

Good.

You don't even care, do ya?

You think I should?

I wouldn't expect it. That's exactly like you people. Why are you printing swastikas with your children?

Ben knows, don't you?

BBen

Mum and Malcolm want to not only reject the values of the older generation but also their, um...

Taboos.

BBen

Yeah, taboos. Everything's "anti". That means opposite. Thank you. Jesus is upside down, and I chose pink for this swastika because the Nazis hated homosexuals... and they made them wear pink triangles. Nazis would hate their swastika being pink.

Many millions of Jews might hate a shirt with a swastika on it.

Possibly. But Malcolm's Jewish, and it was his idea. Do you know why nothing ever changes? It's because people's minds are too imprisoned by lies, fear... and a misguided respect for the very institutions that have exploited them for centuries. I want to destroy all that, so that out of the chaos... the future can emerge. We don't hate Jews, or gays, or Christians. We don't hate anyone, do we?

BBen

No.

Except for Nazis. And racists and fascists in general. And people who are too boring or scared to stand up and say what they mean. Goodbye, John.

[Band has arrived at an upscale hotel] What's Malcolm playing at, sending us on this tour of England's biggest twat-holes?

Isn't exactly our target audience, is it?

JJoe

We're on.

What? Look at the legs on that one.

Yeah, I've seen 'em.

In the middle.

Yeah, I know.

...

SWSenior woman

[Steve belches] Disgusting!

[Band has taken places at stage] Hello, Whitby or Shitby or wherever we are. Do you want to hear something real?

...

BBernadette

Could you turn it down a bit, please? The sound. Turn it down! The sound! We've got Bingo on in the Lesser Ballroom. They can't hear the numbers.

Bingo?

BBernadette

Bingo, yeah. Next door. [Bernadette runs to the washroom to glam herself up and rejoins the performance with her boyfriend in kissing embrace on deserted audience floor]

Hey, it's Bernadette. It's Bingo!

Turn it up!

This one goes out to Bingo and her boyfriends!

[Looking around perplexed] Oi... oi! What's that noise?

JJoe

The sea. That's the sea.

Get out! You never once got taken to the seaside?!

My childhood wasn't quite the lap of luxury yours was, Glen.

Even us impoverished Irish immigrants had the occasional seaside holiday. Poor, underprivileged Jonesy.

Fսck off!

This is the most famous photograph of the Queen.

JJoe

It's on the stamps!

BBen

That's right, darling. [Chuckles] You put a safety pin in her nose.

JJoe

Is it for a new stamp?

BBen

No, stupid. We're taking the piss.

JJoe

Oh...

Oh, pet.

It's brilliant.

Happy Jubilee, Your Madge!

[Nancy enters] Sorry, this is the boys' toilets.

[Chuckles and holds out a handshake] Nancy. It's really good to meet you. Um, could you guys maybe give me a ride?

...

[Riding in in van] So, Richard and I... Richard Hell I mean, of The Voidoids, previously of The Heartbreakers. Do you know The Heartbreakers, like, with Johnny Thunders? Used to be in The New York Dolls. Yeah. Anyway, he decided The Heartbreakers sucked, so hence therefore The Voidoids. He practically invented punk rock as you know, especially the whole spiky hair thing.

Oh, please!

Anyway, the main point being, Richard and I are very close, very, very close.

Now, Boogie, we're going to Denmark Street.

We're going here. You can go to Denmark Street.

But I haven't finished telling the guys about Richard.

You can tell me later.

Driver, could you just wait?

No! Boogie's got to boogie. Don't you, Boogie?

JJoe

Yeah.

Yeah? I've got to boogie.

Okay! You don't need to shout at me.
