The Illuminated Tree

Terence's Coconut Song goes like this:

Losers! It's me!

I was the Earthquake, 

Now I'm the Coconut Horses!

(He cracks the coconut halves together).

Ba-da-bum, ba-da-bum.

See?

(He shows the insides of the coconuts).

Horses' feet!  Galloping away!

With Sweezus and Belle riding on them

And a lobster with a pebble tied to his bottom

Next to his bumhole!

This is the end of the show!

Goodbye losers!

(He dances off, behind the flimsy curtain).

The whole cast emerges (including Vello, who has left the irritating person).

They bow.

David steps forward.

Thank you for coming, everyone. Don't forget your free packet of seeds on your way out!

Cheers! Applause. A rush for the free seeds.

Arthur is holding the box.

Hey, says someone, taking a paper cone packet. Aren't you supposed to be Costa?

Yeah? says the person behind him. That's what the guy who gave me the flyer said. Costa.

I played Costa last year, says Arthur. This year I played the Sailor and the Grand Inquisitor.

Why wasn't Costa in it? asks the first person.

Different excerpt, says Arthur. We never do the whole story.

What are these seeds? asks a third person.

Agapanthus, says Arthur.

Are they native? asks the third person.

No, says Arthur. Lily of the Nile. A popular fast grower. Good for footpaths.

Thanks, says the third person. What's this writing on the paper?

Scribblings from the notebooks of Pliny the Elder, says Arthur.

Wow! says the third person. I've heard of him!

At least someone is happy.

The irritating person stands up and walks across to the flimsy curtain. 

Belle is just pulling it down.

Where's that lobster? asks the irritating person. He said he'd answer questions later.

I think he rode off on a coconut, says Belle.

Not that one, says the irritating person. The Narrator.

Here he is, says Belle.

If you wish to speak further, says Captain Baudin, join me at that picnic table under the illuminated eucalyptus. 

He points to the illuminated tree.
