ANN:
I'm looking for an apartment, my name's
Ann and I'd appreciate any leads, thanks!
Ann scurries off. ANGLE a GIRL getting up from a small group of bulky
young ladies.
GIRL:
Can I just say....We're looking for
nude males for our live art drawing
classes on Wednesday afternoon, if
anyone's interested talk to us - there's
no money but plenty of vegie food and wine.
Cat-calls and laughs from the audience as the Girl sits down.
M.C.
Anything else?
ANGLE JOSH:
JOSH:
Yeah!........................
I'd just like to repeat last weeks note
about the upcoming deadline for entries
in "Reflections", the American Centre's
yearly expose of Western culture here.
If any of you think you're good enough
and would like to see some of your stuff
in print, just see me, Josh.
Show lack of audience interest.
M.C.
That it? Okay, let's take fifteen.
ANGLE audience members getting up and heading to the bar and mingling.
ON DOUG/KATKA/CHRIS.
DOUG:
There you go Chris, do a bit of
modelling on the side.
CHRIS:
No way, you wouldn't catch me with
a rose between my teeth and my pants
in the next room.
DOUG:
What is it with that Josh guy? Who
does he think he is shoving that
Reflections rag down our throats?
CHRIS:
Son of the American ambassador and a
banker - good enough?
DOUG:
Wanker more like, what does he know
about writing.
Doug finishes off his beer.
CHRIS:
How to make a buck!
DOUG:
Yeah right!....I don't know, something
isn't right with this place, it's all
too sterile and staged. Do you ever
wonder why there's no Czechs here?
CHRIS:
Because it's in English?
DOUG:
Yeah, but it's not just that. To the
Czech mind, any movement, whether
political or literary should be
underground. If it isn't, then it's
not radical and not worthy of a look-in.
CHRIS:
But we are underground?
DOUG:
No you don't get it. Every cabby in
town knows this joint. So where's the
mystery, the danger?
KATKA:
Why don't you read something after the
break?
DOUG:
What here? Weren't you listening to
what I just said?
KATKA:
You used to read.
DOUG:
Well not any more, now I'm a serious
writer and above this crap.
CHRIS:
Yeah, very serious and very part-time.
DOUG:
Inspirations a fickle thing, you don't
realise you had it till it's gone.
CHRIS:
And not even then sometimes.
KATKA:
That's true Doug, writers are supposed
to write.
CHRIS:
And pay for their drinks occasionally.
DOUG:
You guys having a go a me or what?
CHRIS:
We're only joking.....It is your round
though!
DOUG:
Well, this place is too expensive so
you've had it.
KATKA:
Doug, that's not nice.
You had some money earlier?
Katka gets some money out of a purse.
KATKA:
Well, get me and Chris a drink then.
DOUG:
I'll get the drinks, but not here. Let's
split. I can't stand this any more,
