What happens next?
VERY popular task this one. Ever sent a text message to the wrong person? Can be VERY embarrassing! Blake has, so he knows. See this extract from the musical “Gordon Bennett!!!”
Extract from the musical Gordon Bennett!!!
Two boys meet on a corridor. Blake is VERY agitated.
BLAKE: Des! Des!
DES: What’s up? Calm down.
BLAKE: Everything’s gone wrong. And it’s all your fault.
DES: My fault? I wasn’t even here. I was in French. What have
YOU done now?
BLAKE: I was writing some stuff down on my phone. Look. (holds up his mobile) Chat up lines. Like you said.
DES: Did I?
BLAKE: You said I should run through some moves then if I bump into Maria, I can turn on the “lovespeak”.
DES: “Lovespeak”? I never said that. You’re making it up. (Grabs Blake’s mobile and reads the text) Does your spine really do that?
BLAKE: That’s not the point.
DES: What is?
BLAKE: I was supposed to be sending all this to you.
DES: To me???
BLAKE: Not like that. I was sending it to you for your approval. So you could give it the once-over. You’re better at English than I am.
DES: You can say that again. (points at phone) There’s no ‘k’ in ‘orgasmic’. It’s a bit near the knuckle, isn’t it?
BLAKE: I let all the stuff flow. All my feelings. They came gushing out.
DES: It’s not all that came gushing...
