SCENE ONE

THE VILLAGE OF WHEYSIDE

Trott’s dairy is [USR] adjoining it is a cowshed with a practical door. Music cue 2: Chorus. After song ends…Exit Chorus [SR]

Enter Simon [SL]

SIMON: Hiya folks! Hiya folks! I’m Simon Trott! Who wants to be on my team? Great! And as I’m the team leader you must do everything I say, starting now. Simon says, turn to the person on your left and say, I like you in a very special way. Now, turn to the person on your right and say, I like you in a very special way too. There, that should help keep things nice and friendly.

GIANT: Fee-fi-fo-fum!

SIMON: You’re a big pain in the bum! That’s Blunderbore the giant who lives in a big castle above the clouds. It beats me how it stays up there seeing as clouds are just condensed water. I’m guessing it must be some sort of magic keeping it there.

GIANT: Fee-fi-fo-fum!Fleshcreep, fill my empty tum!

SIMON: Fleshcreep’s the giant’s slave and he’s a real nasty piece of work.

Enter Jack [SR]

JACK: Hello Simon!

SIMON: Hi, Jack!

JACK: Who were you talking to just now?

SIMON: Just my new team Jack.

JACK: [looking out] You’ve got a big one today, Simon.

SIMON: Speaking of big ones Jack, I’ve just been telling everybody about the giant.

JACK: I hope you haven’t been frightening them Simon.

SIMON: No Jack, the giant will do that all by himself.

JACK: Let’s forget about the giant and talk about nice things instead.

SIMON: Like what for instance?

JACK: Like me being in love. [hand on heart]

SIMON: All right Jack, who is she this time?

JACK: Her name’s Jill. [sighs]

SIMON: You don’t feel a sudden urge to go up a hill with her to fetch water, do you?

JACK: No Simon, why do you ask?

SIMON: No reason really.

JACK: Jill’s the daughter of Squire Moneybags, and I’ve asked her to marry me.

SIMON: That’s a bit quick, isn’t it? Even for a panto.

JACK: It’s the real thing this time Simon.

SIMON: It always is with you Jack.

JACK: The only problem is her father insists that she marries somebody rich.

SIMON: That lets you out then.

JACK: But I love her terribly Simon.

SIMON: Then maybe you ought to practice a bit more.

JACK: I’d like to, but it’s not easy with her father watching her every move.

SIMON: It’s probably your moves he’s worried about.

JACK: And how’s your love life Simon?

SIMON: My new girlfriend thinks I’m a bit of a stalker.

JACK: I didn’t even know you had a girlfriend.

SIMON: She’s not technically my girlfriend.

JACK: What do you mean?

SIMON: Well, I haven’t actually asked her out yet.

JACK: No wonder she thinks you’re a stalker.

SIMON: When will I get to meet this, Jill?

JACK: She said she might call round later.

SIMON: What’s she like around cranky old cows?

JACK: I’m sure her and mum will get along just fine.

SIMON: I meant Buttercup!

JACK: She’s bound to love Buttercup just as much as we do, Simon.

SIMON: Nobody could love her more than mum, though.

JACK: I think she loves that old cow more than she does us.

SIMON: You could you right, Jack. When Buttercup had a cold, she gave her my bed and made me sleep in the cowshed.

Enter Jill [SR]

JACK: Jill!

JILL: Jack!

JACK: I’ve missed you terribly, Jill.

JILL: I’ve missed you terribly too, Jack.

SIMON: When was the last time you saw each other?

JACK: Half an hour ago.

SIMON: Half an hour ago!?

JILL: We hate being apart even for a minute.

JACK: [smoochy] I love you Jilly willy.

JILL: [smoochy] And I love you Jacky wacky.

SIMON: I feel sicky-wicky! See you later team! [exits inside]

JACK: Did you tell your father about us getting married, Jill?

JILL: Yes Jack.

JACK: And what did he say?

JILL: He said, over his dead body.

JACK: So, he’s not totally against the idea then?
