Milk Pot
Milk Pot
Stephen and Hugh enter as medieval clerics. A pot of
UHT milk is on the table between them. They play the
whole thing to camera as if the camera is a judge.
Stephen Behold. The Court under the eye of God finds
itself convened this day of our Lord, Tuesday which
is called Tuesday.
Hugh So be it. Be it so. And not otherwise.
Stephen Nay.
Hugh Moo.
Stephen As witness my hand hereunto bearing the great
seal of Rotherham.
Hugh Miaow.
Stephen All who do have righteous business before these
presents make sign or else say this court nay.
Hugh Or moo.
Stephen Or, possibly, moo.
Hugh The charge. Make known the charge.
Stephen Fourteen guineas per calendar hour.
Hugh Cheap.
Stephen Woof.
Hugh Be it appended and known in these our records
that this chalice of Ultra Heat Treated milk being
appointed in the wisdom of our Lord God to accompany
the coffee of the most revered and holy Bishop
of Uffington did fail to yield up its juices therefore
most basely causing that holy and right goodly man
to snag his fingernail against the tab the which is
provided for the opening. Of. Thereunto.
Stephen Of it.
Hugh Slightly.
Stephen This snagging the devil having achieved, for it must
rightwise be known that the devil hath possessed this
chalice ...
Hugh Or pot.
Stephen Hath possessed this chalice or pot ... the lid did
then open in an irritating little "V" shape and most
lewdly disgorge its opal fluids upon the chaste and
seemly waistcoat of our most Godly bishop.
Hugh Thereat proving that the pot is a most wicked pot ...
Stephen Or chalice.
Hugh A most wicked and contumely pot or chalice
wherein Satan doth play Jackalawkins.
Stephen This being said ...
Hugh And neighed.
Stephen This being said and neighed unto the articles
where of it is written that it should be said or
neighed we do make most erotic demand that
this pot or chalice be cast out, excommunicated,
denied the blessing and eucharist of our Saviour
and be tossed unshriven, unhouseled, interdict to the
condign flames whence it most surely rose. Prepare
the chasting dish. Prepare the chasting dish.
Hugh It is prepared.
Stephen The chasting dish is prepared and now the pouring.
Opens milk and spills it.
Bugger.
