Mark We should start a band.

Happy Sven You and me? What would we play?

Mark Not just you and me, the whole gang.

Sven We’re a gang now? Do we get denim vests?


Happy Mark Like in Warriors?

Sven Exactly like in Warriors.

Mark Yes. But seriously let’s start a band.

Happy Sven Do you even play an instrument?

Mark What?

Happy Sven Oh man. All right, I don’t know that any of us do.

Mark So?

Sven Uhm. How are we going to form a band if none of us can play?

Happy Mark It didn’t stop the Sex Pistols!

Sven I suppose that’s true.

Mark You know it’s true. There’s a long tradition of this.

Sven So we’d be a punk band?

Mark Ever hear of a great classical music band that can’t play?

Sven I’ve never heard of a classical music band.

Mark Fine, orchestra, then.

Happy Sven We don’t have enough people to form an orchestra.

Angry Mark You know what I mean!

Happy Sven I do, and no I’ve never heard of that.

Mark Given our niche…

Sven Which is not being able to play anything…

Happy Mark Exactly! Given that we kinda have to be a punk band.

Sven All right then what would you play? Lead guitar?

Mark I was thinking Theremin.

Happy Sven Theremin! Punk Theremin!

Happy Mark Genius, no?

Sven I admit to liking this. Maybe we could all play unusual instruments.

Mark Zeusaphones!

Happy Sven Those are the Tesla coils, right?

Happy Mark Uh-huh!

Happy Sven Yes! I will play the Zeusaphone! Natasha can play the didgeridoo!

Happy Mark This will be the greatest band ever on Earth.

Sven What can we call it?

Mark A band this awesome? I don’t know.

Sven We need a name that lives up to the band.

Mark We do. How about the Awesomes?

Sven Eh, too obvious. What about the Beastones?

Mark They are already a band.

Sven No!

Mark Yup.

Sven How grand.

Happy Mark I know! Still we need a name.

Sven I’ve got it. Harold’s Purple Crayon.

Happy Mark What?

Happy Sven Harold’s Purple Crayon. Like the book?

Happy Mark I understood it, I just didn’t expect it.

Happy Sven Well?

Happy Mark I love it!

Happy Sven Yeah! Let’s go tell everyone else!

Happy Mark To the Batphones, Sven!

Happy Sven Atomic contact lists to power!

Happy Mark Dialers to speed!

Happy Sven Let’s call out!
