Angel and May
Angel and May are two worn-out private investigators from LA. Events take a turn and they embark on a journey which will take them across time and space to the asteroid colony "New London". They hole up in a dodgy pub run by a crazy drag queen. What could possibly go wrong! They say the skies are the limit, but here they're just the beginning!

G01-E05 - THE DEVIL
SUMMARY
Storyline is about the arrival in New London of GANDER
(DAVID Kosciolek) age 33 on the 6th of May 2052 (23 years
before the main Angel and May series) and the slow climb
up the slippery pole of power in the Bencubbin. This
first instalment details the time up to his/her purchase
of the Retrograde Inn from the Bencubbin Mafia.
GANDER and COBO visit PINKY who has a lab at the rear of
his mums sweet shop. COBO gets him to mix up a horrible
malodour for use in the con. GANDER refuses to carry it
back even though its double sealed.
GANDER, COBO and BEAR make plans on how the operation to
raid the Retrograde will take place. They are sitting in
the cab of a sewerage utility repair truck well back from
the inn. COBO prepares BEAR for his initial performance
to make a distraction. BEAR staggers out of the truck
towards the Retrograde, pretending to be blind drunk. He
shouts at the front door and security come out and drag
him in.
Vincent and his henchman discuss how to handle COBO and
his mates.
COBO, CROUPIER & GANDER enter the garage space under the
inn in a stolen vehicle and hide from the camera. Above
in the inn BEAR posing as a derelict is being handled by
Inn security thus distracting them from looking at the
camera's. They deploy the stinky Pinky brew into the
kitchen duct work and leave.
COBO, CROUPIER are waiting in the truck. CROUPS costume
is giving him grief. COBO is pondering what to do if the
stink is insufficient to empty the inn whilst they are
cutting the bulkheads. COBO phones and sets in motion a
plan B, and gives GANDER instructions to take satchels
from under his bed and to deliver them to JACINTA.
INT. THE SWEET SHOP - ALL THE NICE THINGS
GANDER and COBO visit PINKY who has a lab at the rear of
his mums sweet shop. COBO gets him to mix up a horrible
malodour for use in the con. GANDER refuses to carry it
back even though its double sealed.
COBO
Hello Mrs HULME, how
have..ohhh!(JINGLE) Oh my lord its
horrific!
MS HULME
Don't mind the jingle machine Mr
COBO, after a while, I don't even
hear it!
GANDER
Its a robot isn't it, Oh! It's
looking at me now! (Jingle) Can it
be turned off?
MS HULME
No unfortunately, but I can cover
it with a cloth! Sorry, have we
met?
COBO
Unlikely Ms Hulme, this is my
colleague Mr Kosciolek from Earth,
we are both at Black bears.
MS HULME
Oh, how unfortunate!
COBO
Yes, well needs must!
MS HULME
The blessed thing is supposed to
increase sales, at least that's
what they said!
COBO
It shouldn't me allowed! Siren
Cyberdyne?
MS HULME
Yes.
COBO
If you want my advice, get rid of
it, its an assault on the senses!
Now, about you son?
MS HULME
Did you hear, that the monster has
been expelled from school again!
COBO
Oh dear Ms HULME, I'm sure he was
not that bad! Why was he expelled?
MS HULME
He was caught selling smoke bombs,
Mr COBO. One went off in the
class, and they had to evacuate
the whole school.
COBO
Oh my, how terrible. I'm so
sorry, but you know sometimes
intelligent children can be a
challenge!
MS HULME
Well, challenge or not, he is back
with me most of the time. I
caught him doing something the
other day, it was disgusting. I
have had to lock him in the back
room again! I worry that he will
set fire to the place, and kill us
all!
COBO
Oh dear me Ms HULME, trying times
indeed!
MS HULME
Yes Indeed Mr COBO. Now, what can
I get you.
COBO
DAVID you go first, I can't
decide.
GANDER
Are those aniseed suckers, in that
top jar?
MS HULME
Yes dear, very nice too.
COBO
DAVID may I suggest a strong mint!
GANDER
I fancy aniseed, MILTON?
COBO
I would really recommend a strong
mint.
GANDER
I don't want mint!
COBO
Well suit yourself then! Don't
moan later that I didn't warn you.
Mrs HULME, I will have some of
those super strong spearmints! You
be careful there Mrs HULME.
SOUND OF STEP
LADDER AND PAPPER
BAGS
MS HULME
Don't worry dear, years of
practice. That'll be 50 milli
cents Mr COBO.
COBO
Thank you Mrs HULME. I don't
suppose I could just pop in and
see your son, I promised that I
would say hello the next time I
was over.
MS HULME
Well OK, don't forget to knock,
heaven knows what he gets up to in
the 'laboratory' of his. Oh and
don't give him any of those
sweets, he has been a very bad
boy!
STEPS WOODEN DOOR
GANDER
MILTON why the hell are we here?
COBO
You'll see! I can tell you its
not for the sweets!
GANDER
Why are you always so obtuse?
COBO
You have to see this, to believe
it!
KNOCKING METAL DOOR
PINKY
Mum, go away, I told you I'm
working!
COBO
Francis, its uncle MILTON. Let us
in to say hello!
PINKY
Go away, your not my uncle! You're
a purvey old con man!
COBO
I have some homework for you! A
profitable job!
DOOR OPENS WITH
GUSTO
COBO
Look you little shit Pinky don't
you ever hold out on me again. If
it wasn't for my bribes you'd be
out of the school in a minute!
PINKY
Oh yeah! Well you old sleazy con
man, I don't need your cash, I got
an operation going here!
COBO
Yes and it will shortly be
curtailed unless I get some help
from you, pronto. Get it? Beside
its a job, cash!
PINKY
Who is this little gay boy? Is she
your bitch?
GANDER
MILTON I see what you mean! Look
you little squirt, I'm no ones
bitch, Get it!
PINKY
Why have you got girlie make up,
then? You look like a bitch!
GANDER
Is it all right if I slap him
MILTON.
COBO
Don't bother, it won't make any
difference. Now PINKY, focus, lets
talk cash, shall we?
PINKY
How much cash, I do have other
business streams!
COBO
So you keep telling me, but the
local cops might also be
interested in your little schemes,
so sharpen up! What the hell are
you doing! I told you to keep you
head down at school, but no,
stupidly, you go and sell stink
bombs to little kids. You really
don't see the bigger picture do
you?
PINKY
I need cash to build the business,
those kids are easy money!, Anyway
your work isn't regular enough! I
need cashflow and consistency.
Besides I don't answer to you! You
make me nervous! I told you not
to bring strangers to the lab, and
then you bring a floosy gay boy!
COBO
You little shit PINKY, I'll give
you the back of my hand. I will
bring anybody I care to bring, and
you'll put up with that. DAVID
meet PINKY, the most obnoxious
little shit this side of the belt,
but also, the most brilliant
chemist you'll meet, especially
for explosives and other combative
chemicals.
GANDER
But he is just a kid?
COBO
Don't let that fool you! Now PINKY
focus, are you up for a quick job,
I have cash!
PINKY
Cash, lets see. I'll need to
check, its not counterfeit!
COBO
Look you bastard, I'm not going to
use dodgy cash, unless its a mark.
Unfortunately, in this case,
you're are not the mark.
PINKY
Well, I suppose I might take a
look, if its quick!
COBO
I think this should be easy. I
need something a little left
field. I will give you two
hundred, if I walk out with it! I
need it immediately. (Pause) I
wouldn't want to go to the
opposition!
PINKY
You wouldn't dare, fat Peter is
useless! He doesn't know a retort
from a test tube.
COBO
Yes, but if you don't do this, I
will have no choice, I'm on a
stressed timeline.
PINKY
Well, ok then. What do you want?
COBO
I need something that smells
horrible. So horrible it could
clear out, say a hotel, or pub?
PINKY
What type of smell, chemical or
biological?
COBO
Biological, it needs to smell like
sewerage.
PINKY
Oh, that's nasty, needs a little
more thought! Probably a more
potent variation on my the type
three stink bomb!
GANDER
Type three bomb?
PINKY
Yes, its the cheapest to make,
crude olefactorants. How long
should this last?
COBO
About half a day.
PINKY
In that, case I think you might
need something more potent. Let
me take a look at my recipe book.
PAGES TURNING
PINKY
Oh, yes this is perfect, and I
have some in stock.
COBO
What?
PINKY
The US Government Standard
Bathroom Malodour with some
additions!
COBO
Jeez, your telling me there is a
standard for the smell of shit!
PINKY
Yes of course, get with the
program! Its a beautiful
combination of ghastliness. Let me
get the ingredients!
FRIDGE DOOR, SMALL
BOTTLES PLACED ON
TABLE
GANDER
They don't look dangerous!
PINKY
Looks can be deceptive! Why do
you think they are in sealed
plastic?
GANDER
I don't know, keeps them dry?
PINKY
No off course not you clunk head!
Its because the stink gets out,
around the lids of the bottles.
One seal is not enough. See this
one?
GANDER
Its in a pull ring tin can!
PINKY
Yes it is. Its a beauty! The
suppliers won't handle it
otherwise. Can't send it via
courier, too stinky!
GANDER
What is it?
PINKY
Haxanoic Acid. Smells like musty
rotten cheese, with overtones of
fresh vomit. Its a sexy stink!
COBO
What are these small bottles?
PINKY
Careful, that's Skatole, very
nasty. Here have a sniff, but what
ever you do don't take the top off
the bottle.
COBO
(Cough, arghh) Ohh, that's bad.
GANDER
This is fun, like the chemistry
set of the evil child! What's
that Skatole smell like, can I
sniff, ohhhh yuck. Mint, mint,
quick! MILTON I need a mint!
COBO
I told you!
GANDER
I hate you! What did it smell
like to your nose?
COBO
Like (Searching for the right
description) Dirty animal farm,
mixed with ripe overtones of Porto
potty.
GANDER
(Laughter) Like a fine wine, good
year! Oh, what else have we got.
Jeez I can't even pronounce this
one.
PINKY
Oh, you mean the 4-Methylphenyl 3-
Methylbutonoate. This bad mother
seems innocent on its own, but
when it mixes with the others it
adds a little (cough) something!
GANDER
Let me smell! (Sniff then cough,
argh) Its like a stale hardware
store. Slightly chemical, like
treated dry wood.
PINKY
Now we come to my personal
favourite. 2-Naphthalene-thiol, it
gives a hydrogen, sulphurous,
burnt rubber, overtone, without
the deadly toxicity. I like the
roundness it gives to the edges.
Makes a complete olefactory
experience. Expensive though.
All this stuff is going cost five
hundred.
COBO
If this is a rip off, I'll find
out, and you'll regret it.
PINKY
Look Grandpa, these chemicals are
rare! Difficult to obtain. Half
of them come from Earth, they
cost, you dig!
COBO
Four hundred or we walk and you
can shove your stink back in that
fridge where it came from.
PINKY
Well, I suppose I have to get them
anyway for my bombs. I'll take 450
not a centi-credit less!
COBO
Here you go!
PINKY
Thanks! MILTON make sure you
don't deploy this anywhere near
here, I don't want the cops giving
me jip. (Laughter) Zero backdraft
so to speak.
COBO
Don't worry it will be confined.
PINKY
Those poor bastards! Now I need a
solvent, let me see. Oh here we
are Di-propylene Glycol. Now all
I need to do is get the fume hood
and weigh & mix the ingredients.
Do you have a really good double
sealed container?
COBO
DAVID the box please?
GANDER
What, oh I was looking at this
bottle!
PINKY
Put it down that'll, burn you hand
right off! Don't fiddle with my
GANDER
What! COBO is he for real!
COBO
Oh, yes, I would stand back if I
was you! Give him the container!
PINKY
MILTON, I'm only going to make up
a small vial, because believe me
that's all you'll need! Its about
quality, not quantity! I will mix
this up, and wrap it in a cloth
bag, then seal it twice in these
plastic bottles. Then, it goes in
your container. Listen up, this is
important. When you need to
deploy, get some thick rubber
gloves, a face mask and a small
cloth. Put a few drops on the
cloth, and screw the top back on
the vial immediately, and I do
mean immediately, place it back in
the multiple containers. Under no
circumstances must you get any
solution on your hands or any part
of your body. Dispose of the
gloves by incineration.
GANDER
Thanks for the safety tips. What
happens if it goes wrong?
PINKY
Then you'll loose all your friends
and end up living on the street,
because, as sure as all hell, no
one will want to come within fifty
meters. Oh and in addition you
will also want to rip your nose
off your face!
COBO
PINKY Don't exaggerate!
PINKY
MILTON, I'm not exaggerating, this
is horrible shit!
GANDER
Ok then! All rapped up tight. What
a fun day of shopping! MILTON,
hand me one of you mints, I can
still smell something. Bye the
way you can carry this back!
PINKY
Close the door on the way out! If
the cops get wind of this, you
were never here!
GA INT. WIDMANHATTEN STREET - UTILITY TRUCK
GANDER, COBO and BEAR make plans on how the operation to
raid the Retrograde will take place. They are sitting in
the cab of a sewerage utility repair truck well back from
the inn. COBO prepares BEAR for his initial performance
to make a distraction. BEAR staggers out of the truck
towards the Retrograde, pretending to be blind drunk. He
shouts at the front door and security come out and drag
him in.
GANDER
MILTON hand me one of those
sandwiches please, and that flask
of coffee, I'll put it on the
dash. We need to look like utility
workers. They're always taking a
break!
COBO
Keep those sandwiches away from
me, I'll just take a mint, the
Pinky stink is still in my nose!
Arghhh! (Pause) Now, according to
the plans, the kitchen ventilation
system is on the side street, one
level down. We can reach it from
the parking section. No difficult
camera's except for the one over
this door. We can enter and
deploy without being seen, from
this direction, then a quick
excursion through the wet riser,
here, and here. I have placed an
intercept on the utility call line
so once the smell permeates, any
calls will come through to this
phone. I have tapped the only
plumbing contractors they use, so
we should definitely be receiving
a call. So team, I think that
about raps it up?
BEAR
Will the stinky stuff work?
COBO
It'll work BEAR, I guarantee
it.(Pause) It's hell's own brew.
I'd let you smell it, but then
you'd be in bed for a week, and I
would have to steam clean this
whole truck. (Pause) Mind you,
looking at the state of it that
might not be such a bad idea!
BEAR
Less of that I had to help CROUP
nick it.
COBO
Oh, he didn't mention that!
BEAR
Well, its his pride, I guess, he
did drive it out, and it was
nicked, in a sense!
COBO
What do you mean?
BEAR
I had to bribe the guy on the
gate, then CROUP nicked the van!
COBO
An essential and useful part of
the con BEAR, what would I do
without you!
BEAR
Less of the sarcasm, MILTON, you'd
be sleeping in a cardboard box in
Widmanstaten square, if it wasn't
for me!
COBO
BEAR I know that, come on, how
long have we known each other?
BEAR
Longer than I'd like MILTON! The
only consolation is its been
entertaining! Now back to the
job, how exactly do we crack the
entry gate?
COBO
Well, the first time we'll have to
use this cracker, if we can find
the right frequency. The second
time they'll be begging for us to
come in!
GANDER
This gate, it's not exactly high
security is it?
COBO
Well, when you think about it, not
to many people are stupid enough
to break into a mob operation.
If they were mad enough to break
in, they would go for the cage
room with the daily cash! Why
would they break into the
kitchens. Besides all cash is
taken offsite each day to a
central location over in the next
cavern. Now BEAR are you ready for
your great performance.
BEAR
Hang on MILTON, I just need to get
in character. Let me splash some
of this liquor around and I think
a small swig for courage might
help. (Coughing) Oh, its gut rot,
that's bad!
COBO
Well, you don't think I would buy
good booze, just to be splashed
around! Now remember, don't be
stupid BEAR, just play it cool,
not too over-the-top. Don't take
any unnecessary risks. They'll
hold you in the security area, its
next to the camera monitor
station. Your job is just to
provide a distraction for the guy
looking at those screens, no more.
BEAR
Yes MILTON, you worry too much.
Relax its a doddle. Drunken
bastard comes naturally to me!
COBO
Yes, well, don't overstretch! We
don't need any medical melodrama!
BEAR
I'll just make a lot of noise and
throw some things around.
COBO
Well, good then, break a leg!
GANDER
Yeah, but not a real leg, OK!
VAN DOOR OPEN
BEAR staggers out of the van as if drunk and goes up to
the Retrograde entrance, and starts making a scene.
BEAR
Come out you thieving bastards,
come out! I know you did it!
What's the matter? Frightened of a
real gambler in your bent casino?
Security comes out of the entrance and drags BEAR into
the inn.
BEAR
Leave me alone, you bastards.
Don't you touch me! I'm a citizen
of New London, registered, I am.
THUG ONE
Come on, get in, sober up you
bastard! Oh you stink!
INT. RETROGRADE SMALL BAR - BACKGROUND CHECK
Vincent and his henchman discuss how to handle COBO and
his mates.
VINCENT
Good Judy, Basic inversion, then
Ayesha. Keep the leg up and then
down the pole and twist to banana
split! Good, good, I like it! Keep
it going.
THUG ONE
(Whispered in ear) Boss the
bastards who is claiming to know
about your diamonds, I have found
some information. He is identified
as a MILTON COBO aka 'THE POET'.
Scruffy looking fellow. Apparently
according to the cops, he was
nicked over a long con. Did 2
years. He had a five man crew.
High end by the sound of it.
Rumoured to have done some big
grifts!
VINCENT
Can I trust him?
THUG ONE
I would say not, but if he knows
where the diamonds are, it might
be good to play along. I checked
who he shared a cell with and it
was that CROUPIER fellow. So it
is plausible, he may know about
the sparklers!
VINCENT
Well, I don't care really, but put
a couple of guys on him. First
sign he is playing us, take him
for a short walk out a lock. If we
get the diamonds, we can kill him
and his mates, and then problem
goes away.
THUG ONE
OK boss, of course, you know best!
VINCENT
Of course I do! Oh and make sure
the tails stay way back. We don't
want to spook him.
THUG ONE
Yes boss!
INT. RETROGRADE UNDER LEVEL ONE - A RIGHT STINK
COBO, CROUPIER & GANDER enter the garage space under the
inn in a stolen vehicle and hide from the camera. Above
in the inn BEAR posing as a derelict is being handled by
Inn security thus distracting them from looking at the
camera's. They deploy the stinky Pinky brew into the
kitchen duct work and leave.
COBO
Guys, just got the signal from
BEAR! The guard has left the
monitor station and is enjoying
laying into him!
GANDER
Shit, is he going to be alright?
COBO
Of course, he can take it. Lots
of padding. Gives it out too! He
used to be a boxer! Of course,
the fat suit helps!
GANDER
He's fairly bulky already!
COBO
Yes, but he needs to be
unrecognisable! Lets go, we
haven't got all day! CROUPIER park
in the corner, away from the
camera sweep. GANDER, do you have
the container?
GANDER
(Funny voice mimicking COBO) Do I
have the container? Of course I
have the container, no one else
will touch it!
COBO
For gods sake don't open it yet.
GANDER
You really think I'm that stupid!
COBO
No, but I'm just making sure. I
don't want to puke my guts, for a
week! Lets go we only have
seconds.
ELECTRO TRUCK REV
THEN INDUSTRIAL
GARAGE DOOR
GANDER
Oh, my god, this is taking
forever!
COBO
Patience, young Padawan! Get the
tools. Ready, Go!(Doors open)
Van enters garage, doors swing open and men in boiler
suits carefully run towards a ventilation duct.
VENTILATION COVERS
BEING REMOVED
COBO
Here it is. Covers off, masks on
guys! GANDER deploy stink!
GANDER
(Coughing) Ohhh! My God, I'm going
to puke.
COBO
Through the mask, really? Oh
shit.
GANDER
(Coughing) Take it, please!
COBO
A good year, ripened in the sun,
like a fine wine!
GANDER
Get on with it, I'm going to sick
inside the mask!
COBO
Our mafia friends should
appreciate this evil brew! Makes
dead bodies smell good!
BANGING AS MATERIAL
FALLS DOWN VENT
SHAFT.
GANDER
What now?
COBO
We drive back, to the hold point
via a circuitous route. We'll
drop you at BEAR's for a long
shower and a change of clothes. I
can smell that stuff on you.
GANDER
But I followed the instructions
with the gloves and disposable
over suit!
COBO
Well, its not good enough! You're
not coming back for phase two,
until you've had a good wash!
Beside its going to be a couple of
hours, so they'll be plenty of
time! The Inn will be locked down
for the night. They'll find the
smell in the morning when the fans
come on!
GANDER
What do you care about the van,
its not yours!
COBO
I don't care, I'm not sitting in a
confined space with you, for any
length of time.
GANDER
Next time you can manage the
stink!
COBO
CROUPIER, I'm telling you, you
just can't get the quality of
grifters nowadays, its one
complaint after another!
CROUPIER
Bad attitude and Body Oder. What's
to like!
GANDER
Yada, yada, yada! Your like two
baboshca! OK I'll wash, but you
better look after BEAR. If I find
he is hurt, I'm going to spray all
over you! He's the only one who is
nice to me!
COBO
Only because you gave him my
money!
GANDER
The money you stole from him!
COBO
Look, nothing is going to happen.
Now bugger off, we I have a plan!
GANDER
You have a plan for everything!
Trackamina!
COBO
Absolutely, and that's how we stay
safe. Look, stop worrying!
They'll kick him out when they get
bored. Now get ready we are nearly
back at BEAR's! Don't forget to
wash behind your ears!
GANDER
(Silly voice) Wash behind the
ears, nah, nah, nah!
INT. HOLD POINT ONE - THE WAIT
COBO, CROUPIER are waiting in the truck. CROUPS costume
is giving him grief. COBO is pondering what to do if the
stink is insufficient to empty the inn whilst they are
cutting the bulkheads. COBO phones and sets in motion a
plan B, and gives GANDER instructions to take satchels
from under his bed and to deliver them to JACINTA.
COBO
Macadamia?
CROUPIER
No thanks, I don't eat on the job!
COBO
Did you know a Quarter Pounder in
France is called a...
CROUPIER
F** off! Now you taking the piss!
What about BEAR, why isn't he back
yet? You sure he is going to be
OK?
COBO
I'm sure! Now stop going on about
BEAR. BEAR will be totally OK,
they won't shoot him in the inn.
It takes effort to dispose of
bodies. Besides they think he is
just a vagrant, not worth wasting
a bullet. Those bastards are just
too lazy. If Vincent found out
they were grabbing vagrants and
shooting them, how long do you
think they would last. They like
to keep things on the down low!
(Rustling) These nuts are
delicious! (Rustling) At least we
know those bastards are going to
suffer later!
CROUPIER
(Chuckle) Never a truer word my
friend. MILTON this beard and hair
piece is itching like crap, not to
mention this prosthetic nose. I'm
not used to all this dress up!
COBO
CROUP I hate to say this, but it
really improves your look! Its
fine, really, you look like a
cross between the Hunchback of
Notre-dame and Fagan!
CROUPIER
That's as may be, but this beard,
it still itches like crap!
COBO
CROUP disguise is essential on
this one. That's if you want to
stay alive, they have a real hard
on. As far as they are concerned
you are the last piece to be
tidied up, and Vincent doesn't
like things untidy! Remember, they
have our pictures.
CROUPIER
I know all that, but that does not
stop this incessant itching!
COBO
Perhaps you're allergic to the
glue! Well at the end of the day,
I blame you! You choose to nick
the mafia jewels and then conceal
them in the very place that the
owner works in! That's about as
dumb as they come!
CROUPIER
I didn't plan that!
COBO
Just saying!
CROUPIER
Its an honest mistake, all
circumstantial!
COBO
CROUP did you ever stop to think
about the name of the bank?
CROUPIER
Everyone has 20/20 hindsight! It
was a bank, with slack security.
It was full of loot that was just
asking to be nicked!
COBO
Ever wonder why the security was
so slack? Perhaps its because no
one was dumb enough to steal from
the owners!
CROUPIER
OK I get the message!
COBO
CROUP, I still think we are
missing a piece of the jigsaw.
It's been nagging at me. I think
we need another edge, other than
that smell. What happens if it
can't get through the air system!
CROUPIER
Yeah, like, that's a possibility!
COBO
Never the less, I thought it might
be good, that when we start
cutting that bulkhead, we did it
in an empty inn. I just can't
think how we would do that?
CROUPIER
What about the old smoke bomb,
fake fire routine?
COBO
Might do! Hmmm! That's actually a
good idea. I think we need to go
'big stall', multiple sites, make
a giant emergency!
CROUPIER
That's not going to be easy.
COBO
Your right, but I do have a pair
of aces!
PHONE BLEEP
GANDER
What do you want?
COBO
GANDER, you still at BEARS?
GANDER
Yeah, just got out the shower, for
the second time! What's up!
COBO
We need another distraction to
empty the inn in case the stink
doesn't work. I think JACINTA and
her horrible little twin might be
able to assist.
GANDER
How so!
COBO
Well, I know that COSTAS loves to
set fire to stuff, and JACINTA
loves bombs. They'll be perfect
for this operation! Could you look
under my bed, take the beige
military satchel. Can you drop it
over to the Warren's under MOMO's
and tell JACINTA that it would be
really good to set fire to certain
addresses in the Bencubbin. I
have just sent you the list. Tell
them to use the radio detonators
so I can set them off!
GANDER
Jeez, you had that under the bed!
COBO
I sleep more soundly with a lot of
explosives at hand. Its a sort of
insurance!
GANDER
MILTON, I don't want to be
labelled a terrorist if I get
searched? The Mafias bad, but the
CIS that's another thing!
COBO
Don't worry its not high
explosive. Just some theatrical
smoke bombs and firecrackers,
nothing that would seriously
damage anything. Once the kids
have made the drops tell them to
call me via the encrypted channel!
GANDER
Encrypted channel, I thought these
phones were encrypted, is this a
military operation?
COBO
Well, it needs to be, and yes the
phones are but, JACINTA has some
military gear!
GANDER
Impressive, where did she get
that?
COBO
I gave it to her. That's how I pay
them! Preparation dear boy,
preparation!
GANDER
OK, I'm on it, see you back at the
van!
