Down And Out

What if they don't know it's me, says Terence.

They'll soon guess, says Belle.

How? asks Terence. They might think I'm Hedley.

Hedley is taller, says Belle.

But I'm on first! says Terence.

They'll know when you dance, says Sweezus.

Yes! says Terence. Let's practise the dancing!

Okay, dude, says Sweezus.

Don't you have work to do? says Vello. 

This won't take long, says Sweezus.

He stands next to Terence.

Want to dance before or after? asks Sweezus.

Before or after what? asks Terence,

Before or after you say your lines, says Sweezus.

Terence has forgotten his lines, so he chooses before.

He dances around Sweezus two times and stops.

Could you see the potatoes? asks Terence.

Yes we could see them, says Belle. And your legs are unmistakable.

Why? asks Terence.

No one else has cement legs, says Belle.

What about when I put my yellow socks on? asks Terence.

We'll roll the tops down, says Belle. 

Happy? asks Sweezus. Now say your lines.

Haven't you got work to do? asks Terence.

If you've forgotten them, say so, says Sweezus. 

Give me a clue, says Terence.

I am a florin, says Sweezus.

Wait, says Terence, you're not the florin.

No, you are, says Sweezus. That's what you say. I am a florin and this is James the Anabaptist my generous master. Then you dance round me again, before saying the rest of it.

The rest of it? says Terence.

He gave me to Candide when he was .... hints Sweezus 

Down and out! says Terence, remembering. 

Well done Terence! says Belle.

Yes, well done Terence, for remembering the words down and out.

They must have appealed to him somehow.
