If you want to take flying lessons around the archipelago of the Fanfannanon islands, Wade Pipe and Chester Cay are your men. On a rare Saturday off the instructors get caught up in a sandstorm, their biplane engine stalls and they crash land on a mysterious island they never even knew existed...
Wade:
I've never seen this place before. Where the hell are we?
Chester:
We've crash-landed!
Wade:
Yes, that much is obvious.
Chester:
On an island.
Wade:
Your powers of observation never fail to astound me Chester.
Chester:
What's that passing over the mountain?
Wade: (sarcastic)
Clouds?
Chester: (alarm)
Clouds of...
Wade:
Locusts!! Run to the forest! They hate forests...hopefully!
THEY HIDE UNDER A LARGE LOG.
Chester:
How long do you think we'll have to wait?
Wade:
Just until they pass?
Chester:
And how long will that be?
STRANGERS VOICE, WELL-TO-DO, INTERRUPTS.
Stranger:
Four minutes and twenty nine seconds. I tell a lie, twenty eight, and another twenty seven, now it's twenty six. I keep lying for some reason.
Wade:
Who the hell are you?
Stranger:
Edmirald Hafflin is the name and; hello.
Wade:
Hello. What do you do here? Where did you come from?
Edmirald:
This and that, here and there. You know me.
Wade:
That's just it. We don't know you at all.
Edmirald:
That's an awful pity. Let's change all that. Shall we exchange shirts?
Wade:
Why?
Edmirald:
Mine is rather a good shirt with five emblems that was bestowed upon me when I worked for-
Chesterinterrupting)
What kind of a name is Edmirald anyway? It sounds like you're half admiral, half emerald or something.
Wade:
You were saying that you worked for...
Edmirald:
Yes I did or did I? I could be lying again. Right-ho, that's my ride.
Chester:
The locusts?
Edmirald:
And whoosh
Whoosh sound.
Wade:
Well that was weird.
Chester:
I know. What kind of a whoosh sound was that supposed to be?
Wade:
There goes the last locust. Let's move on. We need to get some logs, bind them
together and pry the plane back into position for takeoff.
Chester:
There's some lovely ground here. It's full of nature, probably logs too if we think about it hard enough.
Wade:
Help me lift this debris, there may be logs lying underneath.
Chester:
Now the logs are lying! (Shouts)
Does anyone tell the truth in this place!?!
Wade:
Help me lift you imbecile.
FX undergrowth being heaved.
Boy:
Hey! Why did you lift my roof off?
Chester:
Because we're tearing up roofs in the hopes that it helps our plane.
Wade:
What are you doing down there boy?
Boy:
Talking to you.
Chester:
He's lying!
Wade:
Alright sonny, who are you?
Boy:
They call me Earth Kid Bobby Landers. The boy who fell from earth.
Wade:
The boy who fell to earth you mean?
Boy:
No. I fell from earth.
Wade:
From earth to where?
Boy/Bobby: (sing songy)
Well to here. From here to there and back to there from here to there if you know what I mean.
Chester:
I do yes.
Wade:
I'm beginning to like you Bobby Landers. We would really appreciate your help with our plane.
Bobby: (sing songy)
No way I'm afraid, I'm afraid no way I'm afraid, no. For I've to go from here to where to there.
Chester:
Fair enough.
Wade:
Help me lift this log will you.
Hunched over elderly man:
I'll help you. You can be my master. Oh I've longed for a master for years. Yearned to be pushed around for two score and years and more years and score.
Wade:
Thanks for the offer but this is very difficult work and you're already hunched and old.
Chester:
I don't trust this guy. He's too old. Who are you?
Old Man.
I'm Jim of the Feck. That's it really. But watch me get to work.
FX Much grunting and rustling etc.
Wade:
Wow! Thank you so much Jim of the Feck but I'm afraid nothing has moved whatsoever.
OldMan/Jim of the Feck:
Grrr not again! Nothing ever moves. Did I do wrong? Oh crush me master. Break my miserable tooth.
Lord Pendellum:
Lord Pendellum swinging iiinnnn. Hang onto my...me and I'll swing you back into action. On you go, that's it boys. You'll be in flight in my time which is no time. Before you know it you'll be drifting through the clouds again!
FX BIPLANE IN FLIGHT.
Wade:
By George Chester we're back!
Chester:
He's lying.
END.
