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.
