[Scene:] Mr. Black's army is closing in on Flash & The Spivs.
|
After a long day's campaigning Flash, having overindulged
|
The alcohol, has fallen asleep in his den.
|
|
Voice: Cooee. Cooee. Flash. Flash
|
|
[Flash:] Who is this?
|
|
Voice: Wake up Flash. Can you hear me Flash?
|
|
[Flash:] Who is this? Who dares to wake me from my slumber?
|
|
Voice: Need I announce myself? Am I such a stranger to you?
|
|
[Flash:] Say your name. Speak!
|
|
Voice: I am your soul.
|
|
[Flash:] My soul?
|
|
Voice: I have come to show you who you are.
|
|
[Flash:] Show me who I am? I know who I am you upstart! How
|
Dare you intrude.
|
|
Voice: You lied and schemed and took over a simple village and
|
Turned it into a vulgar playground for your own money-
|
Making ends. Before you came people lived simple lives.
|
This was a happy place. Then you ploughed up the fields,
|
Sold off the land and lined your own pockets with the profits.
|
|
[Flash:] Lies! Lies! I did it to help the nation
|
|
Voice: You did it for your own preservation!
|
|
[Flash:] No! No!
|
|
Voice: Prepare yourself Flash, there are many who suffered at your
|
Hands. They are craving for vengeance. Time is running out.
|
|
[Flash:] Can this be the end? Can this be the swan song? The final
|
Elbow? I will not go. The people need me.
|
|
Voice: Men like you will always come and go, but the people will go
|
On forever. Take one final look at the past Flash. Enjoy it,
|
Because you have no future.
|
|
[Flash:] No! No! No! I can't stand this.
|
|
Trumpets herald the final confrontation between Flash and himself.
