Act 1 ScIII
Scene:Upon the Mascot moors.
Enter King Lear Jet accompanied by his sychophantic Italian servant -
"Howl , howl , howl thou jet blast! Why Il Duce do my people hate me? A plague upon my senior management team for bringing us thus low!
My employees loathe me -and 5 minutes of folly on the photo -copying machine and my Queen's heart is colder than an aircraft chiller unit! Ah, that there were but a reset switch for her heart!"
Duke of Borghett: "Still thy beating heart good sire! Indeed , your haughty, condescending manner doth rub the employees the wrong way . And as you Know the Earl of Hewitt's report brings bad tidings.
Lo Australian Airlines was not your greatest idea , Jetstar Asia continues to bleed the royal purse dry , the slot at LHR is a white elephant and Lord Greigg completely botched the hedging job you gave him with the oil barrels but other than that........
My daughter doth despise me and now my physicians tell me I am soon for that eternal purgatory -the hangar for the A380.
But before I go Borg - bring me that dog's scrotum - that two faced traitor , that blaggard -MAURICE !
He that would steal the workers' secrets then sell his soul to the company in exchange for his forty pieces - a place in Hades is set aside for him along with Sheer & Lance!
Enter guards with Maurice bound -
Lear Jet : (produces rapier from under cloak-stabs) :"Take this thy scumbag you and your casuals will rot in Hell!" A generation of Australian full time jobs destroyed by you, you little prick!"
Now where be the Clown ? methinks he covets my CEO job. Last night I didst hear him refer to my stewardship as A COMEDY OF ERRORS!
There is treachery afoot in the board room. Where is the idiot son Goanna Jnr?
Quickly -a horse a horse -my airline for a horse - or even a train - anything but these unprofitable, stale and weary pieces of aluminium tubing!
Let us away Borg . tonight I tell the board and management that they are going to eat one big !!!! sandwich - no performance bonuses & a 20% pay cut to show my people we too can be role models.
But first I must ring Singo. I wonder perchance if he still has Liz's phone number . Now there be a bosom a king may find solace in !
Let us Away
(Exuent King Lear Jet & Borg.)
