Pistol · Season 1, Episode 1

Glen, Paul and others in “The Cloak of Invisibility”

Glen

All right, good news! I've come up with a new name.

Paul

What's wrong with the old name?

Glen

Yeah, I like "The Strand".

Steve

Nah, it's boring. Like Glen's hair.

Glen

Piss off.

Steve

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "The Swankers".

Paul

"The Swankers"? Sounds like "Wankers".

Steve

Nah, it's edgy.

Wally

Why do you get to choose the name?

Steve

It's my band.

Wally

You can barely sing.

Glen

I can sing better than you can play. I'm the best musician.

Steve

You're also a jumped-up little ponce who likes The Beatles and minor diminished 4ths. Oh, yeah. Plus, I nicked all the gear.

Paul

Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Steve

Phantom of the Odeon. And, uh... I've written an original.

Wally

You?

Steve

Yeah.

Glen

Give us a look.

Steve

Oh, it's... It's not actually written down.

Glen

Oh! So, when you say you've "written" a song, you mean...

Paul

Don't be a prick, Glen.

Steve

Look, Wally, do you remember that riff we was mucking around with the other day? It was like... we was mucking around with the other day? It was like... da-na-na-na-na-da-na-na-na-na...

Wally

Nah, sorry.

Steve

Jesus! They don't call you "Wally" for nothing, do they? Glen... Do you remember the chords?

Glen

Try A.

Steve

Like this: Da-na-na-na-na... Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Glen?

Glen

D.

Steve

Glen?

Glen

D.

Steve

All right, play D. Yeah, Glen?

Glen

E, maybe?

Steve

Yeah. That's it. Right, repeat it.

Paul

Give us some noise. [Plays a song] What happens next?

Steve

Uh, I don't know. I gotta come up with more lyrics.

Glen

It's a bloody good start.

Steve

Well, it's not quite The Beatles, but...

Glen

It's better! It's ours.

Steve

Oh, shut up, you ponce.
