JAMES (a play by James)
Beautiful Girl: [entering] Where's James?
Chris: [eager] Do you mean
the guitarist and singer from our group, Man Bites
God; who also plays piano and 'cello on our albums?
Beautiful Girl: Yes.
Mark: [also eager] And
do you mean the guy who plays cello for serious alternative
musicians, The
Ang Fang Quartet and folk artist Chloe Hall? And
the writer/performer for Melbourne cult comedians The
Drowning Hitlers?
Beautiful Girl: Yes.
Chris: [excited] It's amazing
that James does all of these things and still finds
time to compose scores for TV, radio, film and the Internet,
isn't it?
Mark: [also excited] Ooh
yes, Chris! I get hard just thinking about it...
Beautiful Girl: I met James while
he was recording one of his upcoming instrumental albums.
They’re melodious, original and experimental.
Mark & Chris: [in unison]
They sure are!
Beautiful Girl: [exiting]
If you see him, tell him I want him to undress me and
make me all squidgy with passion.
Mark: [to Chris] How is
it that James gets all the girls?
Chris: [resigned] I guess
he IS the talented and handsome one
Mark: Yes.
Mark & Chris: [in unison]
Oh God! Where is he? Our lives are empty without
him.
James: [entering, casually]
Here I am, boys!
Mark and Chris fall to the ground,
emitting low groans of pleasure.
THE END.
