Scene 1

(Mark J starts up on the skins.)
 BOYS: (pushing their way through the audience)
’scuse us, ’scuse us, ’scuse us
    ’scuse me
’scuse us, ’scuse us, ’scuse us
    ’scuse me
’scuse us, ’scuse us, ’scuse us
    ’scuse me
(The Boys get to the stage and stand in a line. They pause, then quickly rifle through the following quote.)

    One always knows enough in order to occupy the minutes during which one exposes oneself in the position of the one who knows enough in order to occupy the minutes during which one exposes oneself in the position of the one who knows. And we want to know: what do you know? What do you know? What do you know? We want to know: what do they know? What do they know? What do they know? We want to know: what do they know? What do they know? What do they know?

 JASON: (steps forward and speaks into the mike) Thank you very much. And now, Ladies and ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce to you, our starving audience, on the skins: Dr (as an aside to the audience) – you’re not going to believe this – Dr Sigmund Freud.
(Mark does some riffing on the skins.)
 BOYS: (grinning like morons) That’s Sigmund Freud, Ladies and ladies and gentlemen.
 JASON: It sure is, boys.
 JACQUES: (from offstage) And I! (Mark starts to build some sort of tension on the skins.)
 JASON: Oh, no, here he comes.
 JACQUES: AND I!!
 JASON: Nothin’s gonna stop this cat.
 JACQUES: AND I!!
 BOYS: AND HE!
 JACQUES: (enters) AND I!
 BOYS: AND HE!
 JACQUES: AND I!
 BOYS: AND HE!
(Jacques enters and goes straight to the mike, pushing Jason out of the way. Jason tries to lunge at Jacques but the Boys hold him back. Mark J stops the drumming.)
 JACQUES: And I … am … Jacques … Lacan.
 BOYS: And weeee don’t … like him.
(Jacques hits what could be described as an Elvis-like pose.)

(Blackout)
