A Clockwork Orange Page #6

ALEX:

Appy polly loggies. I had something of a pain in the gulliver so had to

sleep. I was not awakened when I gave orders for awakening.

DIM:

Sorry about the pain. Using the gulliver to much like, eh? Giving

orders and disciplining and that perhaps, eh? You sure the pain's gone?

You sure you'll not be happier back up in bed.

ALEX:

Lets get things nice and sparkling clear. This sarcasm, if I may call

it such, does not become you, O my brothers. As I am your droog and

leader, I am entitled to know what goes on, eh? Now then, Dim, what

does that great big horsy gape of a grin portend?

GEORGIE:

All right, no more picking on Dim, brother. That's part of the new way.

ALEX:

New way? What's this about a new way? There's been some very large talk

behind my sleeping back, and no error. Let me hear more.

GEORGIE:

Well, we go round shop crasting and the like, coming out with a pitiful

rookerful of money each.

DIM:

Pitiful rookerful...

GEORGIE:

And there's Will the English in the Muscleman coffee mesto saying he

can fence anything that anything that any malchick tries to crast.

DIM:

Yeah... Pete the English.

GEORGIE:

The shiny stuff. The Ice. The big, big, big money is available's what

Will the English says.

DIM:

Big, big money.

ALEX:

And what will you do with the big, big, money? Have you not everything

you need? If you need a motor-car, you pluck it from the trees. If you

need pretty polly, you take it.

GEORGIE:

Brother, you think and talk sometimes like a little child. Tonight we

pull a mansize crast.

ALEX:

Good. Real horrorshow. Initiative comes to them as waits. I've taught

you much, my little droogies. Now tell me what you have in mind,

Georgie Boy.

GEORGIE:

Oh, the old moloko-plus first, would you not say

DIM:

Moloko-plus.

GEORGIE:

Something to sharpen us up, you especially. We have the start.

EXT. FLATBLOCK MARINE - DAY

The gang come out of the flatblock and walk along the marina.

ALEX (V.O.)

As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside but

thinking all the time, so now it was to be Georgie the General, saying

what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless, grinning

bulldog. But, suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones

and that the oomny ones use like inspiration and what Bog sends, for

now it was lovely music that came to my aid and I viddied at once what

to do. There was a window open with the stereo on.

IN SLOW MOTION:

Alex clubs Georgie into water with his stick. Dim swings chain. Alex

ducks. Dim goes into water.

Alex kneels, hands behind back, takes knife from sword stick, offers

hand to help Dim, and slashes Dim when he gets it.

Dim falls back into the water.

Alex laughs.

INT. DUKE OF NEW YORK PUB
