Shadows on the Wall: There's a hole in the UFO
[Scene: A-ko and B-ko stand at the base of a tower, peering upwards. Around them are shadowy, academic or churchy-looking Oxfordian buildings. Smoke billows down from overhead.]

[Track 11, "Alien Girl," plays to introduce the scene.]

A-ko: [Peering upward, shading her eyes with one hand] That's our UFO, isn't it?

B-ko: [Craning her neck to look up] Certainly looks like it. I wonder who was driving?

A-ko: More to the point, how do we get it down? It's stuck up there.

[They look at one another. Then C-ko appears, dressed in mechanic's overalls and carrying what looks like a socket wrench or maybe a tire pressure gauge.]

C-ko: Well, I've just had a look at your UFO...

A-ko: You have?

C-ko: Yep, and I'm sorry to have to tell you that the Trans-Dimensional Alternate Stabilator needs calibration. Also, the hood's a bit dented.

B-ko: Never mind about the hood. How can we get the Stabilator calibrated?

C-ko: Well, you'll need someone who can fuss with the undercarriage, and as it's stuck up a tower at the moment...

[All three of them peer upward. Smoke billows down.]

A-ko: Gir can hover...

B-ko: Gir's in pieces!

A-ko: [turns to C-ko and sings,] Gir is in pieces, dear C-ko, dear C-ko.
Gir is in pieces, dear C-ko, in bits.

C-ko: Well, fix him, dear A-ko, dear A-ko, dear A-ko.
Well, fix him, dear A-ko, dear A-ko fix him.

A-ko: With what shall we fix him, dear C-ko, dear C-ko?
With what shall we fix him, dear C-ko, with what?

C-ko: With the Acme Universal Guaranteed Robotic Repair Mechanism, dear A-ko, dear A-ko, dear A-ko.
With the Acme Universal Guaranteed Robotic Repair Mechanism, dear A-ko, my dear.

A-ko: But where is this device, dear C-ko, dear C-ko?
But where is this device, dear C-ko, this device?

B-ko: I know how THIS is going to end. I'm going to go try to put Gir back together. [Pulls the wrench out of the front pocket of C-ko's overalls and stalks off.]

C-ko: In the UFO, dear A-ko, dear A-ko, dear A-ko.
In the UFO, dear A-ko, dear A-ko, in the UFO.

A-ko: And who shall go get it, dear C-ko, dear C-ko?
And who shall go get it, dear C-ko, but who?

C-ko: Gir shall go get it, dear A-ko, dear A-ko.
Gir shall go get it on little rocket feet.

A-ko: But Gir is in pieces, dear C-ko, dear C-ko.
But Gir is in pieces, dear C-ko, in bits.

[Overcome by their dilemma, they both burst into tears. Offscreen, B-ko curses and sparks, nuts and bolts fly onto the screen.]
