No Place Like London
*Jamie Curtail, an eager young sailer, and Richard Romain, a rescued ship wreck survivor, are on a boat travelling the Themes*
Jamie Curtail - I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders, from the dardinells, to the mountains of Peru. But there's no place like London! I feel home again... I could hear the city bells ring... Whatever would I do? No there's...
Richard Romain - (interrupts) No place like London...
Jamie Curtail - (spoken) Mr Romain?
Richard Romain - You are young... Life has been kind to you... You will learn...
*The light catches Richard Romain's face, leaving him looking demonic*
Richard Romain - There's a hole in the world, Like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it, and it's morals aren't worth, what a pig could spit and it goes by the name of London. At the top of the hole sit a privileged few, making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo, turning beauty into filth and greed.... I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders. For the cruelty of men, is as wondrous as Peru. But there's No Place Like London!
*Jamie Curtail and Richard Romain disembark from the boat*
Jamie Curtail - (spoken) Is everything alright Mr Romain?
Richard Romain - (spoken) I beg your indulgence, Jamie. My mind is far from easy... In these once familiar streets I feel shadows, everywhere
*Richard Romain looks off into the distance*
Richard Romain - There was a professor and his wife... and she was beautiful. A foolish professor and his wife, She was his reason and his life and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous, and he was... naive. There was another man who saw, that she was beautiful. A biased muggle of the law, who with a gesture of his hand removed the professor from his plate! Then there was nothing but to wait! And she would fall! So soft! So young! So lost and oh so beautiful!
Jamie Curtail: (spoken) And the lady, sir.. did she succumb?
Richard Romain: Oh, that was many years ago... I doubt if anyone would know... (spoken) I'd like to thank you, Jamie. If you hadn't spotted me, I would be lost on the ocean, still.
Jamie Curtail: (spoken) Will I see you again?
Richard Romain: (spoken) You might find me if you like. Around Philosopher's Close, I wouldn't wonder.
Jamie Curtail: (spoken) Till then, my friend
*Jamie Curtail offers hand to shake. Richard Romain walks away*
Sweeney Todd: (muttering darkly) There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and the vermin of the world inhabit it...
*Fade to black*
