Four Eyes In Reality

Arthur shoves the bird puzzle in front of Sweezus. Points to the birds' double eyes.

Tell THEM, says Sweezus, waving backwards, eyes on his in flight movie.

(Carol is in bed with Therese. They are kissing, among other things, in soft focus).

Arthur gets up, with the puzzle. Edges past Sweezus and stands in the aisle beside Terence.

Spotted it? says Gaius.

The eyes, says Arthur. Two on the same side.

Let's see, says Belle. Ooh yes, that's kind of arty. Look, Terence.

What? says Terence.

The birds have two eyes showing on the same side of their beak, says Belle.

So what? says Terence.

So WHAT? says Saint Roley. It's wrong. Do you know what that means?

It means, says Arthur, that if they were real birds they'd have four eyes.

Four eyes, says Saint Roley. Now do you see?

But it's just a puzzle, says Belle And that's not even the question.

What's not the question? says Arthur.

What's wrong with this picture? says Belle.

I just told you, says Arthur.

Ha ha, says Terence. He just told you.

I mean the task is, to find four birds the same as the ones in the bird book, says Belle.

No one told me, says Arthur. That should be easy.

True, says Gaius. That is the task. Terence, can you do it?

No, says Terence.

It's an insult, says Saint Roley.

Then I'll do it, says Gaius.

He doesn't like to see a puzzle unfinished.

A black bird with a yellow beak, a red bird with an orange beak, a blue bird with a pink beak and an orange parrot with a red wing. Their doubles are easily spotted.

Gaius completes it in seconds.

Arthur has gone back to his seat, squeezing past Sweezus.

(Carol is speaking to the lawyers, in the presence of her husband. Giving up the rights to her child, rather than continue to fight a damaging custody battle. We are better than that, says Carol, ).

You should watch this, says Sweezus.

Whats it about? asks Arthur.

Women bonking, says Sweezus.

This puts Arthur off.
