Leo - At Long Last Leo by Mark Stein

God, Gloria, how I always loved this! (sits on the ground)

Being out back at night, looking up at the sky. It always made me think about what an

extraordinary tourist attraction the world is. About all the famous people who've lived

here, and all the incredible events that have happened right here on this planet.

Sometimes, you know what I think about? I think about all the incredible events that

have happened that history never knew about. I mean it is unbelievable some of the

things that must have happened that, for one reason or another, we don't know about.

Sometimes, I think about all the amazing coincidences that have happened that you

hear about. And then I think about all the amazing coincidences that almost happened,

but didn't...because one guy went down the canned food aisle just as the other one went

down the baking goods aisle. I can feel this planet, Gloria. I swear I can actually feel this

planet hurtling through space. Fast. Much faster than we realize.

Know what else I think about that's weird? What if it turns out I really am the next

Moses? Can you imagine? What if I really am?


Baby - Mojo by Jez Butterworth

…I was about nine, bit younger, and my dad tells me we’re driving to the country for

the day. He’s got this half share in this caff at the time, and it was doing really badly.

There was a war on. And he was always really busy working day and night, so like, this

was totally out of the blue.

So I got in his van with him, and we drive off and I notice that in the front of the cab

there’s this bag of big sharp knives.

And I saw a big meat cleaver. And I thought ‘This is it. He’s going to kill me. He’s going

to take me off and kill me once and for all.’

And I sat there in silence all the way there, and I knew that day I was about to die. So

we drive till it goes dark, and Dad pulls the van into this field.

And we sit there in silence. And there’s all these cows in the field, watching us. And

suddenly Dad slams his foot down and we ram this fucking great cow clean over the

top of the van.

And it tears off the hood and makes a great dent in the top, but it was dead all right.

See we’d gone all the way there to rustle us a cow. For the caff.

Now a dead cow weighs half a ton. So you’ve got to cut it up there and then. And I was

so relieved I had tears in my eyes.

And we hacked that cow to pieces, sawing, chopping, ripping. With all the other cows

standing around in the dark, watching.

Then when we’d finished, we got back in the cab and drove back to town. Covered in

blood.
