Int: Bridge of Spaceship. CAPT GRANT, a human, is speaking to NARNON, a
blue hairy alien type; use your imagination. They are both sitting.
CAPT: So, what makes you feel you'd be right as a pilot?
NARNON: I'm a splendid communicator Captain Grant. I'm conversant in 400
languages including text speak and illiterate facebook chav.
CAPT: Oh, really? I could never get my head around it at the academy.
NARNON: It's not that complicated really. You just swap i's for y's and
end every sentence with 'innit blud' and you're halfway there.
CAPT: It says here that you were almost part of the Technotronic Galaxial Royal Family.
NARNON: Yes. I was due to marry Princess Mardiothon but I just couldn't go through with it.
CAPT: Why ever not man?! Think of the money, the power, the pan, the
van, the Boursin. Besides, I heard technotrons can do strange and
wonderful things with their third inmurpredates.
NARNON: (beat) There will be things I'll miss about her but it would
never have worked. The whole family support Accrington Stanley.
CAPT: Accrington Stanley? Who are they?
NARNON: A shit football team from the Northwest of
England....originally. But now, they are part of the Neo-scouse
Religious Soccer league. Games last days. Cars are ceremonially left on
bricks and it's frowned upon if you don't chant (in scouse accent)
'Exactly' over and over again. I just couldn't do it anymore.
CAPT: So how did you get out of it then?
NARNON: Oh, I just whistled the tune to Please Release Me until she
asked what I was singing. Then I sang her chorus while giving her the
finger. I still have bruises on my dwarfinin.
CAPT: So, do you want the job.
NARNON: Don't you need to see any credentials. You've not asked if I can fly the thing yet.
CAPT: Fly? This is Transport for Pluto, Pal. We're on strike till next
year. You'll have plenty of time to learn. Welcome aboard comrade.
