The scene is Kelostemy Inn. Noises off : Various voices, much music, sound of siren(s).
The Doc sits waiting in his room. Koo enters.
K : at door, shouting Bit busy today, aren't we?
D : SShh ! Koo .. . Keep your voice down! please. Hackman's next door with Slim
recording the next bit of the history of Jumpers ... these walls are paper thin, y'know.
K : lower Oh, sorry! approaches chair whispering now I said bit busy here today?
D : quietly Koo, let me ask you something . . . Where d'you think we are, actually?
K : smiling Don't be silly, Doc! . . Your surgery, of course ... where else?
D : Okay. shifts uneasily changing tack Koo, you'll have seen yesterday's front page of
the Skunk, presumably here Doc holds up the paper, with the words
ENDO MUNDEK ! ? QUANKO ESSEK LOL
K nod quizically Well, it looks like experts have re-examined that old recording they found,
dating back to Mayan times. Now it's got News of the World written all over it,
and it's been recorded over a live Dido concert, so admittedly it's not of the greatest quality.
However you can hear the voice of a Mayan prophet for sure . . . and Mayan language boffs
reckon they can just about decipher enough to know this: Where we thought the prophet was
proclaiming the end of the world as the 21st December, 2012, we're now pretty sure that what
he was actually saying was ?!What d'you think I am, a bleedin' fortune-teller !? . ..
Apparently both of those statements sound pretty much the same in Mayan.
K : shouts out WOW!! .. then quieter I mean, wow! .. So, we're not doomed after all then.
D : Well Koo, you're pretty fucked still I'm afraid, and we're not exactly sure where Henry Frog stands on all
of this, but it does appear the rest of us are going to see in New Year 2013 and . ..
K : pause Okay.
