Acting pissed
ACT TWO
Bernard's tie is loose and he is slouching with his fist under his chin. Erwin and Daisy sit opposite him, they both have champagne flutes. Cordelia, Kevin and Ricardo are sitting uncomfortably behind the AV controls. Bolo stands to the side of the stage - arms folded - he's either meditating or planning his next kill.
After the lights comeup...there's an uncomfortable pause...rather than speak Bernard unscrews a hipflask and has a nip...he goes to speak, but thinks better of it and has another nip of alcohol. After another pause Kevin prevents him from repeating the action in a cycle of confidence building by interjecting.
Kevin - Ahem - Bernard
Bernard - What oh, yes right - we should - you know - sod it - yes - welcome back EVERYONE (pointedly looking at the crowded corner disaprovingly) Where were we. Yes before the break we covered sex (nods at daisy) and violence (nods at Bolo) and the marvellous career of Erwin Breckenheimer trails off
Erwin. Cheers. raises glass, Daisy gigglesBernard - So I think we're done. Thank you everybody.
Everybody - No..
Kevin - you can't finish the night now Bernard. For g-d's sake we'd planned, I mean we haven't covered everything.
B- Actually I think we have. Covered ourselves in shame and proved that this man takes all that's beautiful and makes it look cheap and
K - Guns! Big fuck off guns!
All - huh?
K - Erwin you always make guns look amazing..
E - He's right. I love a good 'piece'
K - it's something we should probably talk about?
E - Absolutely..
From nowhere Kevin dramatically - magician like - reveals an M16.
K - Ladies and gentleman. M16A1 rifle, with the forward assist, "bird cage" flash hider. circa 1967. The most feared assault weapon of the US military. Professional handling of this was mission critical in 'naaam. And now. In the underworld. Countless criminals, terrorists and guerilla's use it to devastating effect. But until now - it has been a man's weapon.
Cordelia - initially reluctantly takes the weapon however ash she repeats the charlies angel routine she gets more into it..
Cordelia - Erwin I'm a big fan of yours as you know. And I would like to show you exactly how by personally and professionally handling this big, hot, throb -
Bernard - Cordy ! What in god's name? He has another big drink..
Cordelia - Relax Bernard - I'm playing with the notion of my sexual self.
Bernard - not during my film night you're not..

I like it. Keen on your M16s eh! as above i popped in a little bit on Kevin taking over, I suspect we will also need to go back and give Kevin a little more sketching so that we all understand what he's up to, or at least that he's planning something. Have to go back and rework his little scene with Ricardo...
