Simon memorization Flashcards
B2 Jack: You have to keep in a line! Otherwise…
Otherwise what, Merridew?
B2 Jack: You have to keep in line. That’s all.
I’m hot.
B2 Jack: No, ‘Piggy’, in fact we don’t, ‘Piggy’, and I’d that’s it’s uniform I don’t think we do want to know it do we?
He’s right though. We should. We should have a meeting.
B2 Ralph: What did you say your name was?
Simon.
B2 Jack: Cambourne.
Simon Cambourne.
B3 Bill: We completely annihilated them.
They did. It was quite horrible.
B3 Ralph: Who’s to be in charge? Will it be one person or-
We have to have a vote.
B3 Jack: Is that so bad?
Depends on us.
B3 Ralph: We’ll… it…
The question is … Is it a good rule?
B3 Ralph: You what?
Is it good? That’s all.
B3 Jack: He is. He’s weird. He’s a Buddha man he’s…
From another planet.
B4 Sam: Strangers.
What school are you from?
B4 Roger: Does it matter?
Well, it might, I suppose.
B4 Roger: I’m from nowhere school. That’s where I’m from.
I thought I’d seen you before.
B4 Jack: In a dream, did you, Cambourne? Was it in one of your dreams?
What’s wrong with me, Meridew? What’s-
B4 Ralph: It’s a pig!
Look at it go!
B4 Sam: Where?
There! There!
B4 Jack: it came out of those trees. It was running with its head down. It’s come back. You see? It’s come back! There it goes! See?
It’s amazing! Look at it!
B5 Ralph: it’ll catch. You’ll see. It’ll catch!
It narrows the rays, you see.
B5 Maurice: Does it?
To a point. We did it in science.
B5 Piggy: Yes, it is innit? It’s going mad. An if you don’t build a fire prop’ly it does go mad. In fact if-
Look, it’ll get out of control.
B5 Ralph: look it’s spreading… oh, for gods sake..
It is… it’s…
B6 piggy: and what you goin yet do about him, eh? Woch you goin ter do about him an’ all the other lot’luns? There’s a load of em over there isn’t there?
I don’t know.
B6 Jack: Cambourne.
I don’t know what we know. I don’t know where we are or what this island is or whether its a good island. It looks like a good island but is it? I don’t know.
B6 Jack: He’s being stupid.
Unless…
B6: Jack: Unless what?
Nothing…
B6 Perceval: Because I saw it.
The sun’s going down. It’s getting colder. Where do we sleep?
B6 Jack: We saw them from up there, Ralph. We saw the whole island.
You have to go all over before you know. If it’s a mountain you have to go to the top of the mountain and I’d it’s a forest right to the heart of the forest.
B7 Bill: Here’s a rock.
There’s one here…
B7 Roger: It’s going!
Blow on it!
B7 Jack: Blow harder!
It’s going!
B7 Ralph: oh come on!
It’s gone! Look! It’s gone!
B8 Piggy: It ain’t us.
Who is it then?
B9 Ralph: You can’t always make people, you know. Let’s get some sleep shall we?
It’s funny. We built them but we sleep out here. You can see the moon from out here. However bad it gets you can always see the moon.
B9 Ralph: Yeah. Well…
Do we need houses anyway? If it’s hot do we need them?
B9 Ralph: We’ll need something if it rains. And we need to be a bit civilized. We need to keep smart and decent. Look at you.
Look at you.
B9 Ralph: I can’t see me. I haven’t got a mirrors. But you look a fright.
I look like you then.
B9 Piggy: I wish they’d come back. They shouldn’t go off like that. Not at night. And at the meeting they’re so stupid…
Merridew’s really bossy.
B9 Ralph: Can we get some sleep please?
Why?
B9 Ralph: You have to go to sleep at a certain time and get up at a certain time. Otherwise…
Otherwise what?
B9 Ralph: I don’t know. You have to. That’s all.
I’m never tired on this island. Never. It’s funny.
B9 Piggy: It’s you that’s funny.
I’m not. (pause) It’s such amazing colours. And at night those huge fireflies. And the moon. Like a lamp. The sky is not like the sky at home.
B9 Piggy: The moons just the moon as far as I’m concerned. The sky’s the sky. Wherever you are.
I bet we came out of the sky. Years ago. I bet we came out of the sky years ago and invaded this planet. I bet we did. I get scared looking at the sky. I see things in it.
B11 Sam: You can’t see it. The moons gone in.
We should try to see what it is.
B11 Ralph: What?
See what the beast is. Look at it. And then… then maybe someone would come, you see.
B12 Jack: we’ll go to his meeting. When we’re ready.
They’re hunting. They won’t listen when they hunt.
B12 Sam: Why should hunting stop you listening?
You listen to the funny voice in your head when you hunt. I listen to it too sometimes. It’s like the sea you hear through the shell. It’s like blood or something. Pounding away in your head.
B12 Jack: we killed our first pig. Can’t you see? We speared it. Up there. It was dark. And we hunted it through the trees and I could see it’s eyes!
Imagine what it’s like to be chased! Imagine!
B12 Ralph: I meant-
Don’t give it to him! Give it to me! (pause) If there is a beast. Then let’s find it! We can find it…
B12 Sam: Yeah?
I could find it. I know I could, I could see it. Out there. In the darkness.
B12 Jack: don’t be stupid.
I’ll find it.
B12 Jack: I don’t know what he’s looking for…
What?
B12 Perceval: What’s there, Simon? Is there something there?
I don’t know
B14
Monologue
B16 All: Kill the pig! Spill his blood!
It’s a man! That’s all! It’s a man that got killed! That’s all it is! There isn’t a beast! There’s a man! A man that got killed!
B16 Maurice: Kill the beast! Kill his blood!
It’s a man!
B16 All: kill the beast! Spill its blood!
It’s a man!
B16 All: kill the beast! Spill its blood! (2)
It’s a man! It’s a man!
B24 Sam: it’s the beast! Ralph! Ralph! It’s the beast!
Who is in charge here?
B24 Ralph: I am.
And what’s going on?
B24 Ralph: it’s…
What’s your name? You. The one in charge. Cat got your tongue?
B24 Ralph: My name is…
And what’s all that about a beast?
B24 Ralph: there was a beast and…
There was what? (pause) A game? Is that it? You all playing a game?
B24 Ralph: there’s two dead. Two of us killed. And then the others who…
Yes?
B24 Ralph: it was all right at first. I kept thinking about my father. He was going to come. But he didn’t come.
I’ll get the others from the boat. We saw your smoke you see. We saw your smoke. I should have thought that a pack of British boys- you are all British aren’t you?-would have put on a better show than this. Form a line. It was a game. Wasn’t it? That’s all. Eh?
