Extract 1 from 'The Reconciled' draft

(He gets up in the carriage…and makes as if to sing. Then changes his mind and sits down again.)

“I’m not dead… I’m not dead
There’s just a little alien growing in my head
We’ve poisoned it with chemicals
And zapped it very hard
I get hallucinations and I’m permanently scarred.
I get hallucinations and I’m permanently scarred.
I’m doing lots of things… that I’ve never done
I think I’ll shove a gladioli halfway up my bum
The business-lady opposite
Would get a nasty shock
If I took my freezing Nokia
And shoved it up her frock! ……..Weeeeeeee
(Pete laughs to himself – someone has to)

His mobile phone rings… (A beautiful piece of classical music)
He answers it.
Its his agent.

“Hello Petal. “

Ans : “Hello Luvvie. .. Do you want to show off for me next week?”

Hmmmmmm.. Maybe. Where?”
