Duologue: Willy & Noodle
Willy has been pushed down the laundry shoot by Mrs Scrubbit and Bleacher who have conned him into owing them 10,000 sovereigns for mis-reading the small print on his accommodation contract
Willy walks into his tiny room. He goes over to the barred window and looks out across the rooftops of the slums.
The golden dome of the Galeries Gourmet seems a long way away.
Extract from Script:
NOODLE (O.S.): Room Service! Willy smiles. He turns to see Noodle standing in the doorway with a bucket of slops.
NOODLE (CONT’D): Told you to read the small print.
WILLY: Hm. Well, slight problem with that.
NOODLE: You can’t read, can you?
WILLY: I focused my studies almost exclusively on chocolate.
NOODLE: I see.
WILLY: For everything else, I’ve relied on the kindness of strangers.
NOODLE: And look where that’s got you: the Staff Quarters. You’ve got a bed. Willy sits on the bed. It collapses underneath him.
NOODLE (CONT’D): You had a bed. Desk. And wash basin slash toilet. Water comes in two temperatures. ‘Cold’ and ‘Colder’. The wash basin’s taps are indeed marked thus. How much do you owe them?
WILLY: Ten thousand.
NOODLE: Count yourself lucky. I owe thirty!
