Bubble Helicopter

   
Scod: Now, it's very interesting. Traitor Jim, the character I was playing, he's kind of an interesting character, he's got lots of facets, and whatnot. And he does something quite soon in the story that may come as a bit of a surprise... to some of you.
  So what we wanted to do was round out his character a little bit, explain what makes him tick. So Yonny's had a bit of a task - haven't you, Yonny? - in his own time he's written a song about Traitor Jim that helps kind of explain Traitor Jim's motivations, his... err...
   
  (Yon is getting himself tangled in the guitar strap)
   
Scod: It's not that hard a system, Yon...
   
  (Yon sorts himself out)
   
Scod: There you go, little fella! All right - okay, so Yonny's written this song about Traitor Jim's childhood - take it away!
Gatesy: Go Yonny!
   
Yon: Bubble Helicopter,
  I watched you when I was a kid.
  Bubble Helicopter,
  With your amphibious skid.
  You're the kind of helicopter that they used to use on M*A*S*H.
   
  Bubble Helicopter,
  Taking off vertically.
  Your all-round perspex cover,
  Affords great visibility.
  And that's why I like you - Bubble Helicopter!
   
  (Long pause)
   
Gatesy: That's a really nice song, Yon.
Yon: Thanks!
Gatesy: Sung beautifully, I agree, yeah.
Yon: Thanks.
   
  (Pause)
   
Gatesy: There was nothing about Traitor Jim in there, though, was there?
Yon: (Looking embarrassed) Oh, fuck...
   
Gatesy: One job!
Scod: All right, okay, just give me the guitar...
Gatesy: One little job!
   
Yon: Hey, no, no, hang on. I can fix this. All right? Umm...
   
Yon: Traitor Jim,
  I watched you when I was a kid.
   
Yon: (To Gatesy) There you go!
Gatesy: Okay...
   
Yon: Traitor Jim,
  With your amphibious skid!
   
Gatesy: (In despair) WHY?!
Scod: All right, come on, just give me the guitar!
   
  (Yon runs offstage with the guitar)
   
Scod: You can't just run away!
Yon: Well... don't you want to hear about Traitor Jim's all-round perspex cover?
Scod: Hey Yonny!
Yon: What?
Scod: No homework for you!
Yon: No more homework for me? Damn.
Scod: Just give me the guitar.
