Act 2, Scene 1 Flashcards
Basil: Thank you….Otherwise, fight the good fight, and i’ll se you next time.
Hello, you were fantastic.
That’s sweet of you to say, love. But tonight was definitely not my best.
No really, you were fab.
Oh, give it over…D’you really think so?
Oh yes, your music really spoke to me.
Well that’s good to hear. Normally the oiks around here wouldn’t spill a beer to see me, but I don’t let it wind me up.
Well, why do you play here then?
Gotta make bread somehow, doll. You may not know this, but it turns out public protests don’t pay that much.
What about all of those great protest bands like the Yardbirds, or Bob Dylan, or the Outlaws. They seem to make gobs of money.
Yeah, we haven’t figured out that part yet. What’s your name darling?
Oh, I’m Helena Grimlocke, of the Applewood Estate Grimlockes.
So what’s a gorgeous bird like you doing in a rundown place like this?
Oh, I come here every once and a while looking for…a snack. So what’s with this protest.
Oh, haven’t you heard? We’re working to permanently shut down the carfax coal tower and stop the pollution in town. Haven’t you wondered why the air is so thick and the smog makes your eyes water.
…No. Not really?
What about the sunsets we’ve been having lately? They’re so naff because of all of the crud in the air.
Haven’t really noticed that either.
Well it sounds to me like you need your eyes opened. Come along with me and i’ll show you a few things.
I bet you will…
