Lord Septic: It’s late.

Crouch: Mmmmm.
Lord Septic: Very late.
Crouch: Mmmm. Mmmm.
Lord Septic: My train is late.
Crouch: Indeed, Sir.
Lord Septic: Filthy.
Crouch: Really? (Looks at his shoes) Did you tread in something, Sir?
Lord Septic: The night you fool. It’s a foul and filthy night.
Crouch: Very nasty, Lord Septic.
Lord Septic: Angry.
Crouch: Mmmm.
Lord Septic: Very angry.
Crouch:Mmmm.
Lord Septic: This fog is so thick. I hate nights like this. I can’t see a thing out there. It’s as thick as…
Crouch: Pea soup, sir. Very thick pea soup.
Lord Septic: I can’t even see the railway track.
Crouch: Don’t get too near the edge of the platform, sir.
Lord Septic: If this train doesn’t come soon, I’ll sack the driver. I’ll sack everyone. After all, next week I’ll own this
railway line.
Crouch: Indeed, sir. Most true, your ever-so big lordship.
Lord Septic: Nothing can stop me now. I’m just a step away. Do you know what I’m just a step away from, you fool?
Crouch: Yes. The edge of the platform, sir. Be careful, sir.
Lord Septic: No, you fool! Power, Money, Fame. I’ll be the richest man in the land. And do you know why?
Crouch: Because you’ll own the biggest train set ever.
Lord Septic: Because I will find the Gatsby Gold. It’s hidden somewhere along this line. I’ll dig up the track. I’ll look
under
every sleeper. I’ll search every station. One day, it will be mine. All mine. At last… And nothing will get in
my way.(He trips over Crouch). Get out of my way you fool.
Crouch: Most sorry. Very sorry. Really sorry, sir.
Lord Septic: Shut up, you twisted fool. Just stay here and tell me when the train comes. You know what tonight is, don’t
you?
Crouch: Oh yes sir. It’s cold, sir.
Lord Septic: Try the letter ‘F’, Crouch.
Crouch: The letter ‘F’ Sir?
Lord Septic: Tonight is an ‘F’ night.
Crouch: Err… Frosty?
Lord Septic: Try again.
Crouch: I’m not very good with letters sir.
Lord Septic: ‘F’ Crouch. Tonight is an ‘F’ night. Got it?
Crouch: Yes sir. It’s a freezing, filthy, frosty, foggy, foul night. That’s a lot of ‘F’s.
Lord Septic: It’s a FRIDAY night Crouch. And you know what that means.
Crouch: Of course, sir. It means tomorrow is Saturday.
Lord Septic: You fool! I know that. It means I need to go back to my country castle. I have a hunting party. I need to kill.
My wife is waiting.
Crouch: Your wife? Clora? You want to kill your wife sir?
Lord Septic: No, I don’t want to kill her. But it’s not a bad idea either.

( Lord Septic and Crouch’s conversation stopped when a girl appears out of nowhere.)

Lord Septic: A flower seller. I don’t want any beggars on my platform. Tell her to go or I shall kill her.
Crouch: Leave it to me sir. I shall enjoy this. At last, I have some power (evil laugh)
Lord Septic: Don’t make a mess!
Rose: Hello?
Crouch: What do you think you’re doing?
Rose: Would you like a few lovely flowers, sir? Only a penny a bunch.
Crouch: Shut up. Clear off. Get lost.
Rose: I’ll take that as a no then.
Crouch: Get off this platform. We don’t want any beggars here..
Rose: But I’m just a harmless flower seller.
Crouch: Then you shouldn’t be out on a night like this. On such a dark and foggy night you cold get lost (evil laugh)
Rose: It’s the same to either night or day.
Crouch: What do you mean fool?
Rose: I’m blind.
Crouch: GET OFF THIS PLATFORM THIS INSTANT!
Rose: But I can’t go home until I earn a few coins. My mother is so sick and I must pay for the pills that make her well. I
haven’t eaten for three days.
Crouch: Who cares?
Rose: If I can just sell a few flowers I may be able to pay the doctors. I’m trying to save up for an operation on my eyes.
Then I will be able to see again.
Crouch: Bah! Who cares about that? It doesn’t matter if you can see or not on a night like this.
Rose: Please I beg you.
Crouch: We don’t have beggars here. Get out of here you filthy! (Crouch throws away her flowers)

[BOOOOO]

Rose: But these flowers are all I have.

Crouch: You’re lucky flowers don’t bring you luck at all. Hahahaha . I’m going to tell Lord Septic I have
sent you away. But I warn you, if you’re still here by the time we get back, you and your
flowers will be pulp under the next train. (Leaves Rose)

[BOOOO]

Rose: (Sobs as she tries to find her flowers) What shall I do? I can’t go back home without any penny. Mother needs my
help. How can I help my mother when I can’t even help myself? Poor mother will die starving. And my eyes. I will
never see the sun again. (she falls to the ground as Percy comes)
Percy: Pretty grim, isn’t it?
Rose: Sorry?
Percy: The night. Ghastly.
Rose: The worst ever.
Rose: Yes. (Crying)
Percy: I say it is not that bad. It might be sunny tomorrow.
Rose: Can you help me find my flowers?
Percy: I say, cheer up. Here’s one. (Puts it in her hand) . Your hand is freezing and…
Rose: Yes? What is it?
Percy: You’re so pale.
Rose: Well, it’s freezing don’t you know?
Percy: Such a pretty smile.
Rose: Really?
Percy: Truly.
Rose: Truly?
Percy: Really.
Rose: If I may ask, how is your face like? (Puts her hand and touches the lamp post) You feel cold, yet so strong and
smooth. With just a hint of rust.
Percy: You poor girl. (He holds her hand) You can’t see, can you?
Rose: Not since the fire at the match factory.
Percy: Lord Septic’s match factory?
Rose: Indeed. He did not care about the safety of the factory and workers.
Percy: What a rotter that man is! He only thinks of himself!
Rose: I still can’t forget that day.
Percy: Poor you.
Rose: Poor me. (Trying hard to smile)
Percy: I say you look pretty when you smile. What’s your name, beautiful?
Rose: My name is Rose.

Percy: Your name really suits you, Rose. Sweet! Then let me pick you and hold you under my nose! You need someone
like me to look after you. Someone to take you home and put you in water. If only I could give you some money.
All I have is my railway ticket. I was born with nothing. They say my mother was killed on this railway line.
Rose: Poor you.
Percy: I was just a baby when they found me. They found me in the garbage bin. All alone. Apart from a key tied on my
neck and an apple core on my head, I have nothing. Though, I never knew what this key is for. I wear it ‘til now
for luck. It has a little sign with the letters NSL on it. Must stand for NO SUCH LUCK.
Rose: Perhaps your luck will change tonight.
Percy: I think it already has. I’ve just met you!
Rose: Let me touch the key.
Percy: Of course.
Rose: it could be the key to my heart.! But I don’t even know your name.
Percy: I’m Percy.
Rose: I wish I could help you.
Percy: And I wish I can help you too.

[HISSS]

[BOOOOO]

Crouch: Hey! I told you to get off this platform!

Rose: Oh no! It’s him again. The man who threw my flowers.
Percy: Did he?
Crouch: I told you to get lost.
Percy: Have you no shame treating a young harmless girl like that? It’s time to give you the taste of you own treatment!
(He grabs Crouch by his collar and punches him in the face)

[CHEER]

Lord Septic: Ahh stupid! (hits Percy on the head)

Crouch: Lord Septic!
Rose: Oh no Lord Septic!
Lord Septic: The Lord Septic!!

[BOOOO]

Lord Septic: Grab her, Crouch. Tie her to the railway track.
Crouch : Indeed sir . (Taking the rope) Where shall I tie her sir?
Lord Septic: Simple. On the railway track.
Crouch: There? You can’t mean?
Lord Septic: Yes tie her to the railway track. I want her deadly dead.

[GASP]

Rose: No! Please!

Lord Septic: Just try and stop me. No one tells me what to do. Now, you Percy! Take a closer look at the station
lockers! (Slams Percy against a locker)

(Crouch ties Rose to the track.)

[BOOO]

Crouch: Fear not my dear. The midnight express will drown your screams. (Points at Percy) Look out- he’s got away!!
Lord Septic: Let him be. Who cares? He can’t harm us. He’s just a coward. He’s running off the track, into the path off
the train.

[GULP]

Crouch: Then, we will kill two birds with one stone!

Lord Septic: She’s such a pretty young thing. Your end is near, my dear.
Rose: Where am I? What’s that noise?
Lord Septic: The Grim Reaper has a ticket on the midnight express. (Evil laugh)

[GASP]

Rose: Percy! Where are you! PERCY!!!!

Crouch: Too late. He’s left you. He’s probably dead. Are you alright sir? You seem deathly still.
Lord Septic: This is just like many years ago. I was with my father at his railway track when he tried to kill Lady Gatsby.
Crouch: Killing must run in your blood sir!
Lord Septic: Lady Gatsby came here with her baby and the Gatsby Gold. But somehow she hid it before we got our
hands on it. Her gold was worth a fortune. We tied her to this track to make her tell us where the gold is.
Crouch: Did she tell?
Lord Septic: No. The train came early. We never found it. But I am sure the bag is somewhere around this station.
Rose: What ever happened to the baby?
Lord Septic: Bah! Who cares about the Gatsby Kid? I threw it away in the garbage bin.
Rose: The garbage bin? On this station?
Lord Septic: Yes, that one over there. He must have gone to the tip. The weedy brat never got his chance of knowing he
was the heir to a fortune. It was years ago.
Rose: Percy! Oh Percy! It was Percy!
Lord Septic : (Slaps her face) Ah, shut up your noise. Get ready to meet your doom.
Crouch: Here it comes! Like thunder… like a dragon coming to slay the damsel.
Rose: The noise. The rails. The smoke.
Lord Septic: The fog. The fear. The fun.
Crouch: The end!!
(Meanwhile, Percy take off his pants and ran to put it on the lamp post. The train stopped at once because of the red light.
Then, he went back to see Rose. Percy leaps on with a chain, which he quickly winds round and round Crouch and Lord
Septic. They fall in heap. Percy cuts the rope, frees Rose and holds her in his arms.)

[CHEER]

Percy: I’m Back.

Rose: I’m shocked.
Crouch: I’m stuck.
Lord Septic: I’m livid.
Percy: You’re safe.
Rose: You’re here.
Percy: You’re mine.
Rose: You’re strong.
Percy: You’re kiss.
Rose: You’re lips.
Crouch: You’re joking.
Rose: Percy, can it really be you?
Lord Septic: Untie this chain at once!
Percy: Never! I told the guard on the train to call the police. They’re on their way. You’ll go to prison
for this.
Rose: But there’s something you must know. Percy! Sir Percy!
Percy: Sir Percy?
Rose: Sir Percy Gatsby! The heir to the Gatsby Gold!
Lord Septic: You’ll never find it!
Rose: The key!
Percy: My key!
Rose: The key around your neck. The one your mother tied to you as a baby. The one with the sign NSL on it. That key
must unlock the gold.
Crouch: NSL? That’s the sign on the New Station Locker. They were new many years ago.
Percy : Yes of course! When I bashed my head on to the locker over here, I saw the very same sign that’s on my key.
(runs to the locker) I don’t believe it! It’s full of gold. I’m rich!
Lord Septic: Blast and double blast!
Rose: Oh Percy! Your mother hid it there when you were a baby. I’m so happy for you.
Percy: No Rose. Be happy for us.. Half of this gold is yours. You can pay for the operation for you to see again and for
your mother’s pills. We can buy a new home. Our home. I want to marry you, Rose. All our fears are over. Will
you marry me?
Rose: Oh Percy, I love you!
Crouch: Yuk!!!
Lord Septic: This is the worst day of my life.

[CHEER]
