Wearing Green Crocs

Gaius and Wittgenstein leave the Bean Scene, with two takeaway coffees.

Wittgenstein unlocks the Mazda.

Gaius gets in on the passenger side.

Don't sit on Monty, says Wittgenstein.

You sound like Terence, says Gaius. Why would I sit on Monty?

Forgetting he was there, says Wittgenstein. You'd have been grateful for the warning.

Thank you, says Gaius, removing Monty from his seat before sitting down.

Now where shall I put him?

Glove box, says Wittgenstein.

Monty is placed in the glove box, and the glove box is closed.

It is dark in the glove box.

The engine starts, and the Mazda roars away towards the Gold Coast.

Gaius is explaining to Wittgenstein why they should visit Toowoomba.

They do frog studies at the university, says Gaius. They've invented a new way to catch them.

Do you know what it is? asks Wittgenstein.

Tree pipe traps, says Gaius. Made with bamboo pipes. The frogs enter the pipes and are trapped there.

In the glove box, Monty is listening. The frogs enter? Why would they?

Why would they? asks Wittgenstein.

They like being in pipes, says Gaius. Pipes enhance the sounds of their croaking.

At least it's their own fault, thinks Monty. 

.......

The camper has finally got going.

Sweezus is driving through Yamba.

Stop! says Roo-kai.

What for? asks Sweezus.

Terence has forgotten something, says Roo-kai.

Have I? asks Terence.

At the Bean Scene, prompts Roo-kai.

MONTY! cries Terence.

No worries, says Sweezus, stopping outside the Bean Scene.

I'll go in with him, says Arthur. And get us two coffees. 

Yeah, and something to eat, says Sweezus. Something substantial.

Arthur and Terence go into the Bean Scene.

Arthur looks at the menu. Lentil patty wrap. That sound substantial.

Two lentil patty wraps, two double espressos and a toy horse from the dishwasher, says Arthur.

Can do, says the Barista, except for the horse. It's been taken already.

Wah! cries Terence. A robber's got Monty.

He wasn't a robber, says the barista. He had credentials. And he knew all the history.

Wearing green Crocs? asks Arthur. 

That's him, says the barista.

GAIUS! cries Terence. Monty is saved!
