Life of Goth

Recently on the edgar discusion list serveral people where having a protracted argument (i.e. flame war) about how goth certian clubs that play in the same venue ( Holyrood student union Edinburgh) are. Eventually I had had enough of it and send this into the discussion. It is heavly based upon the "Life of Brian" a film by Monty Python. Vain is one of the clubs that runs there and EdG&R is the Edinburgh Univeristy Goth and Rock Soc. which also runs a club called .Conception there as well. All other characters are based upon those that had entered into the flame war or whom I thought would apreciate it.


     
Vio and Nathan:
Speak to us, O Goth! Speak to us!
Vain:
Go away!
Followers:
A blessing! A blessing!
Vio:
How shall we go away, O Goth?!
Vain:
Oh, just go away! Leave me alone!
Soren:
Give us a sign!
Vio:
He has given us a sign! He has brought us to this place [Holyrood]!
Vain:
I didn't bring you here! You just followed me!
Soren:
Oh, it's still a good sign by any standard.
Vio:
Master! Your people have walked many miles to be with You! They are weary and have not danced.
Vain:
It's not my fault they haven't danced!
Vio:
There is no music in this Union!
Vain:
Well, what about the cd-decks over there?
Followers:
Hhhh! A miracle! A miracle! Ohh!...
Soren:
He has made the cd-decks fruitful by His words.
Nathan:
They have brought forth CD's.
Vain:
Of course they've brought forth CDs! They're cd-decks! What do you expect?!
Shana:
Show us another miracle!
Vio:
Do not tempt Him, shallow ones! Is not the miracle of the cd-decks enough?!
Edg&r:
I say, those are my CDs.
Vio:
They are a gift from God!
Edg&r:
They're all I've bloody got to listen to. Uhm. I say, get off those cd-decks! Go on! Clear off, the lot of you. Go on.
Rory:
O Goth! I am affected by a greying of the clothes.
Steve:
I am healed! The Goth has healed me!
Vain:
I didn't touch him!
Steve:
I was bald, and now I have a small fuzzy growth.
Followers:
A miracle! A miracle! A miracle!
Edg&r:
Tell them to stop it. I hadn't danced for eighteen years till he came along.
Followers:
A miracle! He is the Goth!
Edg&r:
Well, he hurt my feelings!
Followers:
Hurt my feelings, o Goth! Hurt my ego. Hurt mine...
Vio:
Hail Goth!
Vain:
I'm not a Goth!
Vio:
I say You are, O Goth, and I should know. I've followed a few.
Followers:
Hail Goth!
Vain:
I'm not the Goth! Will you please listen? I am not the Goth, do you understand?! Honestly!
Shana:
Only the true Goth denies His vainity.
Vain:
What?! Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am a Goth!
Followers:
He is! He is a Goth!
Vain:
Now, fuck off!
[silence]
Vio:
How shall we fuck off, O Goth?
Vain:
Oh, just go away! Leave me alone.
Edg&r:
You told these people to play my CD's. You hurt my feelings. You break my brooding silence, and then you try and clean up on my musical tastes!
Vain:
Oh, lay off!
Vio:
This is the Goth, the Chosen One!
Edg&r:
No, he's not.
Vain:
Aaaagh!
Vio:
An unbeliever!
Followers:
An unbeliever!
Vio:
Persecute! Kill the heretic!
Followers:
Kill the heretic! Kill him! Persecute! Kill!...
