MARK RENTON FROM TRAINSPOTTING IS IN A DECREPIT FLAT PREPARING HEROIN

MARK

Swanney taught us to adore and respect the national health service. For it was the source of much of our gear. We stole drugs. We stole prescriptions or bought them, sold them, swapped them, forged them, photocopied them. Or traded drugs with cancer victims, alcoholics, old-age pensioners, AIDS patients, epileptics, and bored housewives

STIMPY IS SITTING ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO HIM

STIMPY

I don't know about this Renton, can't we just sing the Happy Happy Joy Joy Song?

MARK

After you've shot up, ya numpty.

STIMPY SHOOTS UP.

STIMPY

Happy, happy, joy, joy.

DISSOLVES INTO TEARS AND PASSES OUT.

WE PULLBACK TO SEE POWDERERD TOAST MAN DEAD IN A FILTHY NAPPY.

It actually made me sad :(

Sorry to say I don't know "Powdered Toast Man".... in terms of flow and structure it seems good... very consistent with the "sootyj" world which you've created. I'm wondering what a Sootyj themepark might look like... ???

Did you get the Renton and Stimpey reference?

As for a Sootyj theme park?

Yes, I got the Ren and Stimpy reference... I don't remember the show too well though - except that it was funny.

Looked at your sooty comedy slave sketches - they made me laugh - nice homage to Dickens and to classic jungle/mine scenes a la "Blood Diamond".

I also notice that some days your spelling is pretty good, and others, well, not. Mood? Alchohol? Intermittent dyslexia? Part time spell-checker?

Perpetual dyslexia, continual spell checking doubles the time it takes me to write.

Also if I'm off my game I miss stuff.
