Act
One: Trying not to lose itstarring Johnny Moped, Captain Sensible and a voice in the crowd.
Scene: backstage after the Moped reunion gig.
SS: Was It All Worth It Then?
Johnny: Well, I thought I wasn't holding it together half way through, but I just managed to pull the audience back. For one awful moment I thought I was losing it, but I managed to get the punters back.
Sensible walks inwith 2 foot long cigar for for Johnny - I kid you not
Everyone: You're fuckng joking!
Capt: No, lets see if it will light up
Someone: Give it some suck Johnny!
Capt: It is a real cigar
Someone: That's the only time you'll see Captain getting someone to smoke.
SS: Has he given up?
Someone: World's worst ex-smoker.
Capt: Yeh, you've really arrived Johnny. You're in the big time now. Johnny Moped OBE.
Johnny: I'm enjoying the cigar, but not when I've got a mouthful of tobacco.
SS: What’s the story behind the album then?
Someone: Ah, that’s really Dave Berk you ought to ask.
Capt: Go and show your audience what it’s all about, why you’re a star and they’re not. Show 'em the cigar.
Johnny; This must be the biggest fucking cigar i’ve seen in my life.
SS; This must be the weirdest interview we’ve ever done too. I’ve never talked to anyone with a two foot cigar in their mouth before. How long have you been practising then?
Johnny; About a couple of weeks
SS: So who’s this Xerxes bloke?
Johnny; He was in the original band.
Smoke rings waft across the room, the door opens stage left.
