[Opening Credits]

Scene 1

(The apartment. Philby and Ninjo are playing chess)

Philby: Rook to pawn 5.

Ninjo: I took both your rooks, that's a cheeto, stop dropping food on the table and concentrate.

Philby: Sorry. My mind is else where.

(Cut to a seedy night club. Philby's brain is dancing with two women in front of a D.J.)

Ninjo: What's the matter?

Philby: It's my book. I can't get past this one part.

Ninjo: What part.

Philby: The start.

Ninjo: What have you got so far?

Philby (Gets up and walks to his type writer. He reads what he has written): A man enters a bar...

Ninjo: That's it? Then what are those other thousand pages you've been writing for the last eight years?

Philby: Rubbish.

(A maid enters and picks up a pile of papers and drops them into a bin)

Ninjo: Hey, we don't have a maid!

Philby: We don't have walls either but that's never stopped us before!

(Ninjo turns and looks out a giant empty space where one of the apartment walls should be. A jumbo jet flies through the space and hits

Philby in the head)

Ninjo: Check mate!

Scene 2

(Ninjo and Philby are walking through the streets)

Ninjo: The polite thing to do would be to take the jumbo out of your head. It's been there for hours.

Philby: You may have beaten me in chess, Senior, but none can match me in a real man's game - The Grape Escape!

(They go to a street vendor who has this plasticky game set up)

Philby: I'm gonna squish your plastacine with that plastic boot!

(Can't enter as sign says "must be this high and not wearing an aeroplane on your head)

Ninjo: Damn, eh.

Philby: Remember that disjointed caper with Harold Holt...

Ninjo: Stop daydreaming and get the plane out!

Philby: Better stop by at that Mystical Fountain over there to wash it out

(sign: Mystical Fountain - specialises in washing jumbos out of heads)

Philby: Wonderbar!

Scene 3

(Philby sticks his head under the mystical fountain and washes the jumbo out of his head)

Ninjo: Finally, it's been impossible to walk around the apartment with that thing on your head.

Philby: Hey it was a fashion statement ok!

Ninjo: How was that a fashion statement?

Philby: Look can't we have one pleasant evening together with out getting into a fight?

Ninjo: Oh no! I had a date with Waterfall tonight!

(Ninjo hails down a passing hotdog. He climbs on top and the hotdog takes off into the night sky)

Ninjo (yelling as the hot dog flies away): Remember to floss before bed time!

Scene 4

(Waterfall is waiting at a table in a restaurant. Ninjo enters puffing.)

Ninjo: Sorry... (gasping for breath) I'm... late...

(Ninjo slumps into a chair)

Waterfall: You weren't late.

Ninjo: I wasn't?

Waterfall: Time is the construct of a phallo centric society. In a truly equitable world there is no time.

Ninjo: So why do you wear eighteen watches?

Waterfall: To tell the time.

Ninjo: Wait, what?

(Waiter approaches the table)

Waiter: Can I get you anything?

Ninjo: Can I have a cheese burger?

Waterfall: I'll have the horns of a donkey floating in the spit of a elephant.

Waiter: Oh I'm sorry, we're sold out but I can offer you the meaning of life served on a bed lettuce.

Waterfall: No that's ok, I'll have a salad.
