Complete scenario of musical show “Stomper through Time”

Disclaimer! The original plot, characters and story were invented by a man under the pseudonym Man from nowhere. The music is written in the free version of the SUNO AI with original prompts invented by the author.

Part One

The stage is divided into three parts. In the middle is a rotating part with interchangeable locations. On the right is a static part in which the location of Dagger pub is located: a bar counter, five bar stools and a jukebox with records. There is a place for musicians in the left static part of the stage.

The "Sidcup High Street" location is installed on the central rotating part of the stage. A thin old man dressed in a beige raincoat and a black hat with a narrow brim enters the stage. The sound of urban traffic can be heard in the background. He passes by the main scene and heads to its right side, where the location of the Dagger pub is located. Next, he opens the door of the passage to the location with a key and goes inside. Inside the pub, the old man gracefully removes his raincoat and hat and hangs them on a hanger located next to the bar counter. He takes the bartender's apron off the hanger and puts it on. Next, he presses a switch near the bar counter and at the top of the location of the Dagger pub, a sign with the inscription "Pub Dagger" lights up and the inscription is "Open". After that, the old man goes to the jukebox at the edge of the location and turns it on. Start playing Rhythm and blues music Laurel Aitken's song “Bartender”. The old man dances off to the bar counter. Going behind the bar, he takes a rag and wipes the counter with a graceful movement. The music from the jukebox is slightly muted and the old man, looking at the audience, begins his speech.

1.Bartender Charlie Bartowski prologue (Style: speech; Vocal: Husky man voice); (Duration: 1m 03s)

Charlie Bartowski: My name is Charlie Bartowski. The girls call me Charlie and the guys just call me Old fellow Bart. I've been working as a bartender in this pub for 30 years now, pouring beer for people who are tired from work. Queen Elizabeth herself visited our pub and tasted our Irish ale. Yes, there were a lot of people in our pub. But most of all, this place is liked by skinheads. They come here after work to get their throats wet and shake the mud off their shoes on our dance floor. I've seen how these guys have changed. They went from simple Jamaican music lovers to fighters divided on two fronts. I remember this story, it started 5 years ago in 1978. It was then that these guys had a split. Yes, it was a hot July day and the same guy named Todd was walking to our pub after work at the station.

The bartender's gaze goes to the right towards the pub door. A shaven-headed white young man dressed in a plaid shirt and jeans with black suspenders and a fashionable brown corduroy suit jacket enters the stage. He wears brown Dr. Martens work boots with white laces. He dances and starts singing. During the performance of Todd's song, his friends Edd and Marcus come on stage. Edd is a shaven-headed black guy dressed in a white shirt and jeans and suspenders with a Jamaican flag. He is wearing heavy black Dr. Martens boots with green laces and a narrow-brimmed hat on his head. Marcus is a shaven-headed white guy dressed in a black T-shirt, a denim jacket with a boiled effect and jeans with red suspenders and a chain on the pocket. On his feet he wears heavy Dr. Martens boots in black with red laces. They sing along with Todd in the choruses and dance with him on the main stage.

2.Todd’s song «Working day is over» (Style: rocksteady; Vocal: Young man voice, two young men voices on the chorus); (Duration: 3m 19s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

I did a good job today....

We have unloaded six freight wagons...

It feels so good on this sunny day

From this job I feel pain in my bones...

Today we were unloading canned food...

Tomorrow they fill our counters...

Our work is always in a good mood...

And no need any head hunters...

Because...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Working day is over... is over...

Time go to rest...

Working day is over... is over...

Way to the pub is best...

Working day is over... is over...

The pounds in my pocket are burning my thigh...

Working day is over... is over...

It's Friday and we're off until morning light...

[piano solo]

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Today we're going to drink and dance...

To the beautiful rhythm of rocksteady...

And Maria give me one chance...

Be my flappy bird and be ready...

I'm crazy about your beauty face and great figure...

I've known you since you were a child...

I have more than friendship it's new and pure...

But when I see you, it gets wild...

Yes! and now...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Working day is over... is over...

Time go to rest...

Working day is over... is over...

Way to the pub is best...

Working day is over... is over...

The pounds in my pocket are burning my thigh...

Working day is over... is over...

It's Friday and we're off until morning light...

[piano solo]

After the song ends, the three friends go to the pub and sit on three chairs near the bar.

3.A conversation about the working day (Style: speech; Vocal: Three young men voice, one husky man voice); (Duration: 0m 44s)

[[male speech]]

Marcus: Hey old man, give us three pints of lager!

Charlie Bartowski: You forgot to say please!

Marcus: Oi! Old man!

Todd: Please, Old fellow Bart. Pour us some of your signature lager.

Charlie nodded to Todd and poured them three pints of the signature pale beer.

Marcus: Edd, you always smell like fish.

Edd: Of course, I work at a cannery. Didn't you smell like gasoline and engine oil working at a car service station?

Todd: By the way, we were unloading canned food from your cannery today. Six wagons of selected mackerel.

Marcus: Speaking of fishes. Where is our fish Maria? She's late again.

Todd: Oi! Don't call her that. She's a bird, not a fish.

Edd: Do you hear this song? It's her.

The three friends look towards the door of the pub. A girl with short blonde hair and a white tank top, wearing a short denim skirt and fishnet tights comes on stage. She wears heavy red Dr. Martens boots with white laces. She goes to the pub and starts singing and dancing. Three friends get up from their bar stools and start dancing.

5.A conversation about music and the story of Charlie Bartowski (Style: speech; Vocal: Three young men voice and one young woman voice, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

Marcus: Get up… my man and fight… Ha- Ha- Ha…

Maria: Marcus, all you're thinking about all the time is who to punch in the face. Hello boys!

Todd: Hi Maria. How was your day?

Maria: Great, Toddy, there weren't many customers at the barbershop today. Today is Friday, and everything is being done to end the working week as soon as possible. All haircuts will be tomorrow.

A guy and a girl come on stage. A shaven-headed guy with glasses is wearing a white shirt with ridiculous yellow tie, jeans with suspenders and a long black raincoat. He is wearing heavy black Dr. Martens boots with white laces. The girl has bright makeup and jet-long hair cut short on her side. She is wearing a short purple puffy dress and black ripped tights. She is wearing a black leather jacket with metal ornaments and black heavy boots with different laces in green and yellow colors. They enter the Dagger pub and join their friends.

Oliver: Hello tramps!

Maria: Oh my God, it's Ollie and Anna!

Anna: Hello everyone!

Todd: Buddy Bart, please pour beer for all our friends!

Charlie Bartowski: With pleasure…

Old fellow Bart pours beer for Maria, Oliver and Anna…

Edd: Old fellow Bart, I know your story. My father told me about her. Maria, you remember, I told you too.

Maria smiles and shakes her head.

Charlie Bartowski: What are you talking about, young man?

Edd: Guys, old Bart didn't always pour beer in this pub. In fact, he was an excellent pianist in Kingston and played fervent rhythm and blues and jazz in one of the local pubs. Is that true?

Charlie Bartowski: That's right, Eddie. Your father was telling the truth. I haven't worked in this pub for 25 years, as I've already told you. I came here 15 years ago. And yes, I used to be a mod, and I had a beautiful suit. I loved playing the piano and it was my calling. I had a scooter and somehow I fell off it and badly injured my arm and couldn't play the keys anymore. After that, I went to England and became a bartender in this pub.

I forever feel music in my heart. But I've also learned how to pour beer pretty well. Ha- Ha- Ha.

Marcus: Wow, buddy, so you've been hitting the keys.

Edd: Maria and Anna help me. I have an idea and a song for our friend Charlie.

Eddie runs to the jukebox and turns on a song. Maria and Anna enter the main stage. Eddie also enters the main stage and the song begins.

6.Eddie’s song «Charlie is Mod» (Style: rocksteady; Vocal: Young man voice and two woman voice); (Duration: 2m 35s)

Charlie is a mod...

His hat has small fold..

[[Chorus, two woman voice]]

Charlie is a mod...

His hat has small fold..

[[Verse, man voice]]

Ladies like Charlie's tunes...

During the performance of this song, all friends and Charlie are dancing near the bar. Charlie plays an imaginary piano. After the song ends, all the friends and Charlie return to the bar and continue the conversation.

7.Conversations about politics (Style: speech; Vocal: Four young men voice and two young woman voice, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

Charlie Bartowski: Uh... Thank you Eddie and the girls for your song. It was like I was young again and back in Kingston.

Todd: Guys, I propose a toast... To our friend and psychologist Charlie. To a man who not only pours beer for us, but also listens to all our problems. To a man, who knows how to listen without interrupting and give advice. To you, my friend Charlie. Hip Hip Hooray... Hip Hip Hooray...

All friends: To you Charlie… Hip Hip Hooray... Hip Hip Hooray...

Friends clink glasses and drink.

Charlie Bartowski: Thanks guys... Drinks are on the house tonight...

Marcus: Old fellow Bart, That's the good news.

Marcus: Yes, many people have moved to our country and not only from Kingston.

Todd: It's not a problem. It helps our country to grow.

Oliver: If politicians had focused on creating conditions for the working class, there would not have been such a wave of migrants.

Anna: Oi! You're talking about politics again. Stop it.

Marcus: Shut up, woman! I'm talking about Pakistanis and Hindus. They climb everywhere and drive our people out of their jobs. In our car service does not have them. They haven't gotten there yet.

Oliver: If you criticize, suggest.

Marcus: And what to offer. We need to tighten migration policy and not create favorable conditions for them here.

Oliver: If we had followed the red path and power belonged to the people, there would not have been such a mess.

Marcus: Then the mess would have started among the people. What's the use of our barroom conversations?

Edd: That's exactly nothing. We should be friends with everyone.

Todd: Exactly. Talking about politics is always sad. It's Friday, so let's get off this empty conversation and continue our party.

Maria: That's right Todd...We came here to rest. Oliver, where's your saxophone?

Oliver: Here at the bar…

Todd: So get it out and let's have fun!

Oliver takes out a case with a saxophone inside from behind the bar. Todd runs to the jukebox and turns on groovy ska-style music.

8.Todd’s and his friends song «Friday» (Style: ska; Vocal: Young man voice, male choir); (Duration: 4m 34s)

[verse 1, male vocal]

There are a lot of people in the bar today...

And everyone is happy about the end of the working week...

A small celebration is night of Friday...

We will forget about our troubles and sick...

Music will create a good mood...

Rocksteady rhythms fill the bar...

Today is there a whole neighborhood...

The sadness away very far...

[chorus, male vocal choir]

Today is Friday, which mean...

We'll celebrate and more drink...

We work well and have a rest seen...

All girls ready and blink...

We're going to drink a lot of beer today...

And maybe we'll fight...

How close is hangover Monday...

We'll have fun until morning light...

[verse 2, male vocal]

The work was left outside...

We are immersed in the dance...

Bad mood will be hide...

Give your joy one chance...

Rivers of beer and dancing till you drop...

Our holiday has just begun...

Here you won't hear music pop...

Hey saxman, get out your gun...

[saxophone solo]

[beat down to reggae beat]

[chorus, male vocal choir]

(Ooooo...)

Today is Friday, which mean...

(Yeah...)

We'll celebrate and more drink...

(more drink...)

We work well and have a rest seen...

All girls ready and blink...

(Ooooo...)

We're going to drink a lot of beer today...

And maybe we'll fight...

(maybe...)

How close is hangover Monday...

(Nooo...)

We'll have fun until morning light...

(until morning light...)

During the performance of the song, all the friends dance near the bar and sing along with Todd. After the end of the song, everyone returns to their seats and continues the conversation.

9.Conversations about true love (Style: speech; Vocal: Four young men voice and two young woman voice); (Duration:)

Edd: Everything that comes and goes, but music will live forever.

Todd: That true Bro. But besides music, true love will live forever.

Maria: Do you think it exists, true love?

Marcus: Of course, as an ordinary soldier, despite his wounds, wins the enemy. It is thanks to true love… True love for the motherland. A worker who does not sleep a wink making blanks for bullets and shells. He also does it not for the sake of money, but for the sake of true love for England.

Oliver: You're right, Mark... Patriotism can only be true. The falsity will always be noticeable. As the French writer Romain GARY said, "Patriotism is the love of one's own, nationalism is the hatred of others."

Marcus: I believe that true love for the motherland should be with fists... Aggressors and occupiers must be punished.

Edd: And who do you consider the aggressor and occupier?

Marcus: Of course, these lovers of spicy food. They feel at home here, having forgotten who is in charge here.

Edd: Surely you consider yourself in charge?

Marcus: Sure. I was born here, this is my homeland. And I won't let it get dirty.

Edd: I was born in Jamaica, not here. Do you consider me an occupier too?

Marcus: You? Of course not, my little black friendo.

Maria: Stop... When I asked about true love, I meant true love between a man and a woman.

Marcus: I don't know about true love between a man and a woman... But I know who's pining for you, Maria… Ha- Ha- Ha…

Marcus smiles and points his finger at Todd.

Maria: Toddy, did our friendship grow into something more?

Todd: Maria, this is not a topic for conversation in the pub and the general company. But I can say for sure that you are my painkiller... When I feel bad and there's pain in my soul, I think about you and I feel good.

Anna: What? Painkiller? How?

Todd: I'll show you...

Todd slowly gets up from his chair and goes to the jukebox and puts on a slow reggae song and starts singing.

10.Todd’s song «Painkiller» (Style: early reggae; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 4m 7s)

[piano solo]

[verse 1, male vocal]

Without you...

My love...

I feel pain...

Like a wheels of train..

Beat to my brain...

My heart like a stone...

And I’m dressed in dark tone...

Without you...

my soul...

[piano solo]

[Chorus, male vocal]

My little bird...

My honey...

Be my painkiller...

I feel hurt...

I don't have money...

And I want feel your love..

your warm love...

My sweet darling...

[verse 2, male vocal]

when I see you...

in the daylight...

soul rising on the light...

you are my flower...

and I feel power...

power of love...

and we'll be at one...

Like no one...

[piano solo]

[Chorus, male vocal]

My little bird...

My honey...

Be my painkiller...

I feel hurt...

I don't have money...

And I want feel your love..

your warm love...

My sweet darling...

Uuu....

Yeah...

Be my painkiller...

Baby...

I want your love...

During the performance of this song, Marcus invites Maria and Oliver invites Anna to a slow dance. After finishing the song, the friends return to the bar, and continue the conversation.

11.A private conversation between Todd and Maria and the argument between Marcus and Edd (Style: speech; Vocal: Four young men voice and two young woman voice); (Duration:)

Todd: Maria, we can talk in private?

Maria: Yes, of course Toddy.

Todd: Let's go outside and have a smoke.

The main stage turns from the main street to a back alley. Todd and Maria leave through the pub's front door and enter a quiet alley, where usually receive goods for the pub. The rest of the friends stay at the pub and continue drinking beer. Todd nervously takes two cigarettes out of a pack. He passes one to Maria and keeps the other for himself. He lights Maria's cigarette and lights his own.

Maria: Toddy, what's the matter with you? Have you fallen in love with me?

Todd: Yes, baby. I know that you and I are friends. But I can't help thinking about you all the time. My heart just burns when I see you.

Maria: Toddy... You know perfectly well... You're just a friend to me. Yes, we kissed and were intimate at the prom. You know, I broke up with Paul then, and I needed some male attention. I told you everything back then.

Todd: But why? Why should I suffer because of my feelings for you?

Maria: Todd, don't be selfish. You know that I really like Marcus. And he's started showing interest in me.

Todd: You know he's not serious. He'll play with you and then leave you.

Maria: Toddy stop it. Or we're going to have a fight.

Todd: Okay, baby. But know that my feelings are true.

Maria: Toddy, honey. I knew you were a strong guy.

Maria throws her cigarette and kisses Todd on the cheek and goes back into the pub. Sad Todd takes three puffs on his cigarette and throws it and goes through the door after Maria. Meanwhile, a fight breaks out between Marcus and Edd in the pub. Todd quickly runs over to them, and he and Oliver separate the two heated friends.

Maria: What's the matter with you?

Edd: This guy called me a ni**er…

Todd: Mark, what's the matter with you? You've been friends since you were babies.

Marcus: I don't need a friend who called me a fascist.

Anna: I heard Edd call Mark a fascist first.

Maria: Edd, for what?

Edd: He's been bothering me all day, calling me little black friendo.

Oliver: Oh, don't worry about it. The guys were just drinking too much.

Charlie Bartowski: Guys, you really need to freshen up. I don't want any trouble with the police.

Todd: Yes, guys, let's go outside.

The main stage is turns once again facing Sidcup Main Street. The guys leave the pub to main street.

Maria: Shake hands and make peace.

Marcus: Why should I shake hands with this piece of shit?

Edd: Shut up you bastard!

Todd: Stop it and cool down!

Marcus: Okay, Eddie, Now, go in peace. Chop-chop!

He takes out a cigarette and lights it.

Edd: See you again!

Oliver: Okay, we're going home.

Maria: Mark, are you coming?

Marcus: Go ahead without me. I want to be alone.

Todd: Ok… Bye Mark, see you tomorrow.

Oliver: Bye badass!

Marcus: Bye guys!

Todd and the guys leave the stage, but Maria returns to Marcus. Todd watches her go with a sad look.

Maria: You guys go ahead, I'll catch up with you.

Maria: Mark, what's the matter with you?

Marcus: What do you want, woman? I told you I want to be alone. Go after them before they leave.

Maria: Are you sure?

Marcus: Yes, baby. Go.

Maria kisses Marcus on the cheek and leaves the stage. Marcus finishes his cigarette and starts singing.

12.Marcus’s song «Lonely Patriot» (Style: street punk; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 2m 17s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

How much I can tolerate?

The inaction of politicians...

How long can I run and rotate?

Now I disappear all my illusions...

My fears were confirmed...

Cockroaches are already in our apartment...

True patriots will be armed...

And finish all mind and soul torment...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Lonely patriot...

Chooses the path of warrior...

Lonely patriot...

Sword of justice break barrier...

Lonely patriot...

Must be strong and brave...

Lonely patriot...

never be an insignificant slave...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

My friends have become slugs...

They just drink and dance in the pub...

Instead of fighting the bugs...

And send them outside the hub...

I'll assemble a new squad...

The true patriots of England...

They are not afraid to load...

to fight before all bugs end...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Lonely patriot...

Chooses the path of warrior...

Lonely patriot...

Sword of justice break barrier...

Lonely patriot...

Must be strong and brave...

Lonely patriot...

never be an insignificant slave...

[guitar solo]

As Marcus performs the song, a man in a black cloak, black glasses, and a black hat watches him from the corner of the stage.

13.A conversation with stranger (Style: speech; Vocal: young man voice and old man voice, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

After Marcus's song ends, a stranger approaches him from behind and starts a conversation.

Stranger: Good evening, young man.

Marcus: It's already night, sir. What do you need?

Heinrich Wolfson: My name is Heinrich Wolfson. And I feel the same pain that you felt when you sang your song, son.

Marcus: Ha, almost Heinrich Himmler… What do you know about my pain, oldie?

Heinrich Wolfson: Oh, Marcus. I know everything. I feel the same way you do when I look at the neighborhoods filled with arrogant outsiders.

Marcus: Damn... How do you know my name? And who are you anyway?

Heinrich Wolfson: I've been watching you for a long time, son. I represent the interests of a party that is currently in the minority. But that's just for now. You're not a lonely patriot, son. There are thousands like you.

Marcus: So you're a politician… Only the elections seem to have already passed. I'm not interested in that.

Heinrich Wolfson: I'm not talking about the election, son. Do you want a drink? The pub is still open. Let me buy you a beer.

Marcus: Ha.. Who would refuse a free beer. Let's go...

Marcus and Heinrich enter the pub. The pub is empty, and Charlie is standing behind the bar. They walk in and take the two chairs on the far side.

Heinrich Wolfson: Dear bartender, pour me and my friend a pint of lager.

Charlie Bartowski: Okay... Marcus, do you have a new friend?

Marcus: Yes, Charlie. I wanted to be alone, but I found a friend. Ha-ha-ha…

Charlie pours pints of his signature lager and passes them to the latecomers…

Heinrich Wolfson: I propose a toast... To the young patriots, to the defenders of England and the Queen. To you, my young friend Marcus.

Marcus: Thanks, old man. But I haven't done anything yet to deserve a toast.

Heinrich Wolfson: You're already doing it, son. You didn't grovel or humiliate yourself. It's already expensive, believe me.

Marcus and Heinrich empty their glasses and order another round.

Heinrich Wolfson: Marcus, I'll introduce you to some people who share the same views as you. You'll make new friends with similar interests. You can prove with real deal that you are true patriots of England.

Marcus: I've been wanting to get into real deal for a long time. I'm tired of putting up with and waiting. There are a lot of them like cockroaches.

Heinrich Wolfson: You've found a good comparison, my young friend. Yes, cockroaches.

Marcus: Wait, old fellow. I'll show you…

Marcus gets up from his chair and walks drunkenly over to the jukebox, where he plays a street punk song.

14.Marcus’s song «Cockroaches» (Style: aggressive street punk; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 1m 42s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

We lived in our country without knowing grief...

But then the politicians decided to open the floodgates...

And they came here, lovers of spicy chicken and beef...

The mud has flooded our home and make only hates...

They've taken over all our jobs...

Leaving the indigenous people without money for bread...

The police can't handle with this mobs...

Patience is boiling and colored in red...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Cockroaches...

The country is full of mud...

Cockroaches...

Politicians never stop this flood...

Cockroaches...

Gathered in a huge swarm...

Cockroaches...

Queen don't see any harm...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Need a pest control team...

To drive them back to the dump...

and release the accumulated steam...

Before civil society ready to total bump...

They need to understand that we are the landlords...

That they're just temporary guests here...

And this is the inscription on all billboards...

"You are not welcome here"...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Cockroaches...

The country is full of mud...

Cockroaches...

Politicians never stop this flood...

Cockroaches...

Gathered in a huge swarm...

Cockroaches...

Queen don't see any harm...

[guitar solo]

During the song, Heinrich smiles and shakes his head, while Charlie lights a cigarette and holds his head. After the song ends, Marcus stumbles back to the bar and downs his pint.

Marcus: Do you understand me? Cockroaches, they're everywhere.

Heinrich Wolfson: Of course I understand you, my young friend. I'm inviting you to join our pest control department.

Marcus: Of course. It's not even a question.

Heinrich Wolfson: Come by 6 p.m. tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to the guys. You know the guy they call Skull. He's from the Sidcap too.

Marcus: Yes, yes I remember. He was a huge football fan once.

Heinrich Wolfson: He's currently the leader of a squad in Bexley.

Charlie Bartowski: I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the pub is closing.

Heinrich Wolfson: Yes, dear bartender. We're almost done.

Heinrich takes a notebook and a pen out of his jacket pocket. He writes down the address of the place where Marcus needs to go tomorrow, tears off a piece of paper, and hands it to him.

Heinrich Wolfson: Here you go. We'll be waiting for you at 6 tomorrow. Don't be late.

Heinrich shakes Marcus's hand, leaves cash for Charlie, puts on his cloak, and leaves the pub and the stage.

Charlie Bartowski: My advice to you is Mark. You'd better be careful with that guy. I can see through him; he's a very dangerous man.

Marcus: Instead of giving me advice, pour me another pint.

Charlie Bartowski: You've had enough, you're already barely standing.

Marcus: Okay, old fellow, don't be offended. I'm going home.

Marcus puts on his jacket and stumbles out of the pub. On the main stage, he takes out a cigarette, lights it, and walks drunkenly off the stage.

Part one end.

Part Two

15.Bartender Charlie Bartowski story about friends (Style: speech; Vocal: Husky man voice); (Duration: 1m 03s)

The light focuses on the bartender standing behind the bar. He continues his story in a sad voice.

[[male speech]]

Yes, it was on that July Friday that the split between the friends occurred. Marcus took his own dark path. He joined the Skull Gang, and they were causing trouble in Sidcup. They smashed the shops of Pakistani and Indian visitors and beat them with a crowd. Maria chose the same path as her lover and became aggressive. Oliver left for Birmingham to work on Monday after that Friday. He's a plasterer and his uncle found him a job there for two months. Anna didn't know what to do with herself, so she first joined the punk anarchists and then the Skull Gang. After that Friday, only Todd and Edd came here. They were waiting for their friends to return, so they could celebrate and have fun to the rhythm of rocksteady. But his friends were no longer interested in Jamaican music. Todd was very worried about the guys. And He tried to reason with them, but it was useless. Heinrich's agitators had cleared their brains well. Black ideology captured the minds of young people. Edd was completely immersed in his work. He worked two shifts. He used to see Marcus, but they weren't friends anymore. There was an icy wall of misunderstanding between them.

It had been more than two months since the fateful Friday when the friends had fallen apart. It was a rainy September Friday. Oliver was walking back from the bus stop towards the Dagger pub. Oliver was unrecognizable. His hair had grown out and he didn't look like a skinhead anymore. He was wearing a green military jacket, a plaid shirt, and jeans with suspenders. He had dirty boots on his feet. He had a backpack on his back and in hand case with a saxophone inside. He was eager to see his friends after a long separation. He couldn't even imagine what had happened to his friends in the past two months. And here he is…

The bartender's gaze is directed towards the door. Oliver enters the main stage. He smiles, puts his saxophone case on the pavement, and starts singing a cheerful song.

16.Oliver's song " I missed my homeland" (Style: early ska; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 5m 52s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

I've been working for so long...

Outside of my native Bexley...

Work is over and I sing my song...

To my Sidcup and the city of Bexley...

I haven't seen for so long...

My friends and my beloved...

Ready hug them like a strong...

My song for them bestowed...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

I missed my homeland...

Greet me my Sidcup...

I missed my homeland...

My dear Dagger pub...

I missed my homeland..

I'm going to rest today...

I missed my homeland...

We'll celebrate Friday...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

How pleasant is the smell of the bakery...

On the Sidcup High Street...

mixed with the smell of mackerel...

The cannery at the end of the street...

It's so nice to see the familiar faces...

of sad and cheerful citizens...

And don't need any other places...

This my homeland sense...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

I missed my homeland...

Greet me my Sidcup...

I missed my homeland...

My dear Dagger pub...

I missed my homeland..

I'm going to rest today...

I missed my homeland...

We'll celebrate Friday...

[saxophone solo]

After singing the last verse, Oliver takes his saxophone out of the case and starts playing.

17.Conversation with Shorty Daryl (Style: speech; Vocal: two young man, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

After finishing the song, Oliver puts his saxophone back in its case, puts his backpack on his back, and heads towards the entrance of the Dagger Pub. Someone whistle at him at the entrance to the pub. Oliver stops and turns around. A short, shaved-headed guy dressed in a bright red T-shirt with a denim jacket and black suspenders comes out onto the main stage. He's wearing black Dr. Martens boots with red laces.

Guy: Ollie, is that you?

Oliver: Shorty Daryl!

Daryl approaches Oliver, and they greet each other with a handshake and a manly hug.

Oliver: My friend, it's been a long time since I've seen you.

Daryl: Yeah, fellow. Two months. Have you just got off the bus?

Oliver: Yes, just from the bus stop. I wanted to go straight to the pub with the guys.

Daryl: Who are you talking about?

Oliver: Anna, Todd, Eddie, Maria, and Marcus.

Daryl: Brother, you fell down from the moon?

Oliver: Anna only wrote to me for the first week, and then she disappeared. I called her at home a couple of times, but I never got her. What happened?

Daryl: You're behind the times in your Birmingham. There are major changes at Sidcup. The team you're looking for is no longer there.

Oliver: Come on, shorty, what's wrong?

Daryl: After you left to work, Marcus broke up your team. He joined the Black Brigade of John Skull. Maria also went to get him. Later, Anna went there too. I've joined Tony Hammer's Red Team. You know I don't deal with Nazis.

Oliver: Hell no!

Daryl: Todd and Eddie remained non-partisan. They're head over heels in work. And rarely show up in Dagger.

Oliver: What's wrong with Anna?

Daryl: She's like a dog chasing after Marcus. I'm sorry friend.

Oliver: Damn.

Daryl: Ollie, this is a time when you can't stand aside. You have to join Tony's team. You're a communist, Ollie. We are the children of the working class, and we will raise this country from its knees.

Oliver throws his saxophone case on the ground, takes off his backpack, and sits down on the pavement in front of the pub. He takes off his glasses and holds his head. Shorty Daryl starts his red brigade song.

18.Daryl’s song «Red brigade» (Style: aggressive street punk; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 2m 44s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

The country is tired of lies...

...from the royal nobility and the rich...

The Nazis were breeding like flies...

And they start illegal lynch...

They got patrons in power...

To create lawlessness...

Police stay only lower...

They don't stop this madness...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Train with steel wheels...

Red brigade...

Will destroy black deals...

Red brigade...

Warriors of the working class...

Red brigade...

I raise my full glass...

To Red brigade...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Only we can stop...

This Nazi brats...

Red banner on the top...

Make rich take of their hats...

Justice will prevail...

The country will be ruled by a working man...

And wrest nazi tail...

A decent life for any workman...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Train with steel wheels...

Red brigade...

Will destroy black deals...

Red brigade...

Warriors of the working class...

Red brigade...

I raise my full glass...

To Red brigade...

[guitar solo]

After finishing his song, Daryl approaches Oliver, who is sitting on the sidewalk, and speaks.

Daryl: Getting up, Ollie, let's go get a drink.

Daryl reaches out to Oliver and helps him up. He then picks up his saxophone case and backpack. He passes him the backpack and they stroll into the pub.

19.A celebration in honor of Oliver's return and meeting with Todd and Eddie (Style: speech; Vocal: four young man, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

After Daryl and Oliver enter the pub, they sit on the two bar stools closest to the entrance.

Oliver: Hello old fellow Bart! Long time no see... (In a sad voice)

Charlie Bartowski: It's good to see you, Oliver. Just arrived?

Oliver: Yes, I haven't even been home yet. Last Sidcup news from Daryl shocked me. Please pour some whiskey for me and my friend.

Without saying a word, Charlie took out two glasses and a bottle of whiskey and poured for friends.

Daryl: To your arrival, my friend.

Oliver: I was returning to my home of Sidcup... But it seemed like I had taken a wrong turn...

Friends clink glasses and drink.

Daryl: What are you thinking of doing next?

Oliver: I need to rest and recover. Charlie, my friend, please repeat…

Charlie poured more whiskey.

Daryl: For you, my friend. I hope you'll make the right choice and join us. Join the Red Brigade.

Oliver: I need to clear my head and think.

Daryl: Of course...Ollie... You're a communist... You've already chosen the right path. We need strength to stand up against the Skull Gang.

Todd and Eddie enter the main stage. They go into the pub.

Oliver: Todd... Eddie!

Todd: Oh my God... It's Ollie!

Oliver got up from the bar stool and ran over to his friends, hugging them.

Edd: It's good to see you Ollie.

Oliver: I'm celebrating my return. Join me, guys.

Daryl: Hello undecided friends!

Todd: Daryl stop it… I've already told you my position. Edd and I are staying out of your political games.

Oliver: Old fellow Bart, pour us all some more whisky and a pint of your special brand, please.

Charlie deftly pulls out two more glasses and pours whiskey for everyone. And starts pouring beer.

Edd: To your return, friend! We missed you and your saxophone.

The guys raise their glasses and drink.

Oliver: Daryl told me everything. Did all this happen when I left?

Todd: Yes, Ollie. After you left, we started having problems in Sidcup. Marcus went over to the dark side. Maria... (sighs)... followed him. Anna was torn between the punk anarchists at first, but then she also joined John Skull. Some of the guys from the working-class neighborhoods, including Daryl the Shorty, went over to Tony the Hammer. Eddie and I chose to remain neutral and refused to join any gangs.

Daryl: It's a pity... The Red Brigade is bigger and stronger than the Skull Gang.

Todd: Daryl, my friend. You don't understand that politicians are just using you in their dirty games. And your best friend Carl is now on the other side of the barricades. Although we've been friends since childhood. Same with Marcus and Eddie. Best friends since first grade, now they avoid each other.

Daryl: Do you hear those sounds? It sounds like a gang of skull... I have to go, guys. Now, better not meet them.

An alarmed Daryl finishes his drink and rushes to the back exit. The main stage turns into a dark alley. Daryl looks back at the door and runs off stage. The main stage turns into Sidecap High Street. Four young shaven-headed men and two young women enter the stage. The gang leader – John «Skull». He is dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans with black suspenders. He also wears a black leather jacket with a dead head chevron on the shoulder, which belongs to a Wehrmacht tanker. He is wearing heavy Dr. Martens boots with black laces. His deputy is Marcus "Blade". He is wearing a white T-shirt with the English flag on the chest and blue jeans with red suspenders. He wears black Dr. Martens boots with black laces. And two big guys. One is a fat Carl "Bomb." He's wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans with white suspenders. He has black heavy shoes with black laces. The second is a broad-shouldered, muscular guy named Rick "Assaultman". He is wearing a black T-shirt and military pants with black-laced military boots. He is also wearing an SS Assaultman military jacket. One girl is the already famous Maria already "Valkyrie". She is dressed in a white T-shirt, jeans with suspenders and black boots with black laces. She is wearing a military jacket with a dead head chevron. The second girl is Anna, nicknamed "Bestia". She wears a mesh top with a visible red bra, a black leather skirt, and ripped mesh tights. She also has high black boots with different red and black laces. She wears a leather jacket with the anarchy symbol on the back. They walk into the middle of the main stage and start their song.

20.John «Skull»’s and his team song «Cleaning squad» (Style: aggressive street punk; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 2m 38s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

We are England's last hope...

Soldiers without fear or mercy...

We clean streets without soap...

And We don't stay in Jersey...

Outsiders should be afraid of us...

Like cockroaches in different directions...

We will clean our country of infections...

We a true power of this city...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Cleaning squad...

Only goes forward...

Cleaning squad...

Fists is ready and hard...

Cleaning squad...

Forcing the Reds to run away...

Cleaning squad...

[guitar solo]

After finishing their song, the Skull gang heads to the Dagger Pub. John enters the pub first and looks at everyone present with an appraising glance. He smiles maliciously and focuses his attention on Eddie. There is a moment of silence and an exchange of glances.

21.Conversation about skin color (Style: speech; Vocal: Six young men voice and two young woman voice, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

John: Hello vagabonds! How is your carefree life?

Todd: Hi John! Great, we celebrate the arrival of our friend Oliver. Hey girls! (Addressing to Maria and Anna)

Maria: Hey Toddy!

Marcus: Old fellow Bart! We are thirsty, pour us a pint of lager, please.

Charlie nodded his head and started pouring beer for the newly arrived guests. Anna ran to the jukebox and turned on the music. John turned his attention back to Eddie.

John: Well well well! Skinhead and black skin are incompatible things in my opinion.

Edd: What makes you think that? I've always been a skinhead, and I always will be.

John: So you have to serve and be obedient to the masters.

Oliver: John, what are you talking about? Slavery was abolished back in 1833.

John: I mean, real skinheads can only be white.

Maria: John, stop it. Eddie is our friend. We've known him since he was a kid.

Marcus: The Skull is just joking! Really?

John: Exhale blackie! I'm just kidding. Just kidding! (Smiling maliciously)

Charlie Bartowski: This is not the place for such jokes, young man. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not snowy skin.

John: Bartender, what's your task. Pour the beer. So pour it out!

Charlie Bartowski: I have the right to refuse service.

John: Okay, okay, old man, calm down! We don't want to go without beer.

Bouncers Bomb and Stormtrooper remained at the door on the lookout. John sits down in the empty seat next to Oliver where Daryl was sitting. He takes a poured pint and drinks it in one gulp. He looks at Oliver appraisingly.

John: They say you just arrived?

Oliver: Yes, I worked in Birmingham for two months.

John: Great! But we don't work. We're on welfare and beating the crap out of the newcomers.

Oliver awkwardly adjusts his glasses and drinks a beer. Marcus walks up to Todd and punches him on the shoulder.

Marcus: Do you remember that Friday in July when you sang your romantic song for Maria? I wrote my own song for her. Hey Beastia, Put on this song.

Anna presses the buttons on the jukebox and an oi punk song starts playing.

22.Marcus' song «My skinhead girl» (Style: melodic oi; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 3m 51s)

[guitar solo]

During the performance of this song, the girls start having fun and Bomb and Stormtrooper sing along to Marcus. John the Skull is sitting at the bar, sipping a beer and looking at Oliver, ignoring the fun of his friends. Oliver and Todd look at their lovers' fun with sadness in their eyes. After the song ends, the guys return to the bar and continue the conversation.

23.John Skull's agitation. Meeting with Heinrich and a private conversation between Oliver and Anna.

Marcus: How do you like this kind of romance, Todd?

Todd: It's too dirty Marcus.

Marcus: Dirty or not dirty… But girls like it. Really, baby? (He hugs and kisses Maria on the lips)

John: So what, Kids? Are you done talking about love yet? Let's talk about business… I'm talking about you, my undecided skinhead friends (He looks at Todd and Oliver). There is no longer a neutral side, there is only us, the real patriots of England, and they are the unfinished red Communists. Choose whether you are with us or against us (He sarcastically sips his beer).

Todd: What do you want from us, John? I've told you more than once that I'm out of politics. I'm not interested in your Hammer games.

John: Todd... Todd... Todd (Sighs)… So you don't give a damn about the country? Give a damn her future. Future without suffering for true Englishmen?

Todd: I do care about my country… But I don't care about politics and your methods.

John: Uff, Todd, you're upsetting me. Remember one thing, there are no more neutrals. If you stand in my way, we will perceive you as red. In the meantime, relax and drink a beer. And you, who came from Birmingham. Why are you silent? What do you say? (Looks intently at Oliver)

Oliver: I'm of the same opinion as Todd and Eddie. I believe that violent methods in politics sooner or later lead to a civil war.

John: Yes, the conversation is not going on. Buddy, bartender, pour me another beer.

Marcus: Come on, Johnny. Sooner or later they will have to take our side. They won't have any other choice.

A familiar character in a raincoat, hat and dark glasses appears on stage, holding an umbrella-cane in his hands. Yes, this is Heinrich Wolfson - shadow politician. He walks past the main stage and enters the pub. Heinrich enters the door and takes off his hat. The guys turn to the door.

Heinrich Wolfson: Good evening young people! John and Marcus. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Marcus: Mr. Wolfson. Good evening.

John: Hello, boss! Of course.

Markus and John approach Heinrich, who is standing near the door.

Heinrich Wolfson: Having fun?

Marcus: Yes, we are resting. It's Friday.

Heinrich Wolfson: Okay, rest up. Just don't forget about the case. There is a new case. Look across the street. Do you see the shop where Barry's pawnshop used to be? Do you see that the "for rent" sign has disappeared there?

Indeed, on the other side of the street, where the inscription "for rent" used to hang on the door, there is now a sign "Ali's China Shop"

John: Yes, boss. We see it.

Heinrich Wolfson: So, a shop selling oriental tableware and vases was opened there. The owner's name is Ali and he is an Arab. Your task is to set the percentage. Let him give us 15% of his earnings. If he doesn't pay, we'll let the elephant into his china shop (he smiles maliciously). Start tomorrow. Marcus, your job is to get in touch with him and set our terms. And you, Johnny, and your two soldiers will be elephants if Ali refuses. Not a word to your ladies. Do you understand me?

Marcus: Yes, Mr. Wolfson. We get it.

John: Don't worry boss. We'll do everything perfectly.

Heinrich Wolfson: I am proud of you, my soldiers.

He puts on his hat, leaves the pub, and storms off the stage like a special agent. Marcus and John return to the bar.

Todd: Who is it?

Marcus: None of your business, Toddy!

Oliver: Anna, can we talk outside?

Anna: Okay, Ollie, let's have a smoke.

The main stage turns into an alley. Oliver and Anna go out through the door to the alley. Anna takes out a cigarette and lights it. Oliver looks at her and starts a conversation in a trembling voice. But Anna interrupts him.

Anna: Ollie, I know what you want to ask me. Why didn't I write to you and why am I with John on his team now?

Oliver: Exactly. I am concerned about this issue. Why did you forget me after I left and go to someone else?

Anna: You said yourself that our feelings need to be tested by separation. But I did not pass this test (She takes a drag on her cigarette and blows out the smoke).

Oliver: You're breaking my heart, honey. And why Marcus? He's with Maria.

Anna: Maria is just a temporary hobby of his. He actually loves me.

Oliver: Why him? What is it about him that I don't have?

Anna: I can't help myself Ollie. I can only sing…

Anna throws down her cigarette and starts singing her song.

24.Anna’s song «Ode to the bad boy» (Style: northern soul; Vocal: Young woman voice); (Duration: 6m 03s)

[verse 1, smooth female vocal]

Girls don't notice simpletons...

Giving preferences to the bad guys...

Who always use hard tones...

And forget about gentle and sweet lies...

It's always good to be with a bad guy...

It's like a stone wall behind him...

He never wear suit and tie...

in a fight he always letting of the steam...

[chorus, four female vocal choir]

Hey bad boy... I not you toy...

Don't play with me...

My feels is real to you boy...

Don't lie to me...

Hey bad boy... you drive me crazy....

And I'm losing control...

My body feels like lazy...

You strong and height is tall...

[verse 2, smooth female vocal]

Yes, but you can forget about flowers and tenderness...

You don't get a serenade from a bad guy...

And he will never call you a princess...

Whispering in ear, be mine...

He won't run after you like a dog...

If he likes another woman...

And He jumping to another pond like a frog...

Forgetting about his woman...

[chorus, four female vocal choir]

Hey bad boy... I not you toy...

Don't play with me...

My feels is real to you boy...

Don't lie to me...

Hey bad boy... you drive me crazy....

And I'm losing control...

My body feels like lazy...

You strong and height is tall...

[music break]

[outro, smooth female vocal]

Why are we women so weird?...

We always choose the bad guys...

Maybe will happy with a nerd...

Who whisper to woman sweet lies...

Bad guys make women cry...

Breaking more hearts...

Mistakes repeat any with any try...

forgetting about the emotional hurts...

[saxophone solo]

During the performance of Anna's song, Marcus and Maria are dancing a slow dance in a pub. Oliver sits down on the steps. Todd lights a cigarette in the pub. John is talking about something with a Bomb and a Stormtrooper. Anna's song doesn't have time to end, and five shaven-headed guys enter the alley stage. Among them, we recognize Daryl, whom we already know. The rest of them are frowning, holding baseball bats in their hands. They are all dressed almost identically in red T-shirts, jeans with suspenders, black shoes with red laces. Their names are Rick "Tank", Hank "Mace", Frank "Indefatigable". The leader, Tony Hammer, is dressed in a red T-shirt with the words "Revolution" and has a beard like Comrade Lenin, and he holds a chain in his hands. Nothing changes in the pub. Marcus and Maria walk to the bar, where John, Bomb, and Stormtrooper are discussing plans. Todd and Edd are drinking beer. Oliver gets up from the steps, and Anna looks at the guys from the red brigade in fear.

25.Fight in the alley (Style: speech; Vocal: Six young men voice and two young woman voice, one husky man voice); (Duration:)

Tony: So, are you Oliver, who came from Birmingham? Daryl said you're a Communist. (Looking at Oliver and Anna). And what is this Nazi litter doing here? (Fixing his gaze on Anna).

Oliver: Yes, I'm Oliver. And this is my girlfriend. Don't call her that.

Tony: Don't you know who your girlfriend is with, son? How could you, being a communist, get in touch with such a girl?

Oliver: I'm a communist, so what? And this does not mean that I will choose my friends according to my views.

Anna: Tony, what do you want from us?

Tony: I don't need anything from you personally. But Oliver. You have to make a choice, son, who are you with?

Daryl: Ollie, we're going to beat the shit out of this gang now. And you have to say, you're with us.

Oliver: How are you different from this gang? You're just as beaten up as they are. You only differ in symbols.

Tony: You disappoint me, son. I was hoping you'd be with us. So you chose your own destiny.

Tony gets close to Oliver.

Tony: Better take off your glasses son…

Oliver, realizing that he is about to be beaten, slowly takes off his glasses.

Anna: Tony, leave him alone? (crying).

Tony grabs Oliver by the scruff of the neck and throws him to the ground, and in an instant his whole gang is kicking at him. Only shorty Daryl stays away. Anna runs out the door and calls John and Marcus.

Anna: Marcus, John! Tony and the guys are beating Oliver there.

All the guys, including Todd, Eddie and Maria, run out into the alley and rush to help Oliver. Charlie picks up the phone next to the bar and rings alarmingly.

A fight ensues in which Oliver lies on the ground covered in blood. The Red Brigade, armed with bats, is strongly resisting the guys. At some point, Todd and Eddie pull Oliver out of this mess. Sirens are heard, it's the police. All the instigators of the fight run off stage. John and his company also escape through the other side of the stage. Todd, Eddie, Maria, Anna and Oliver remain on stage. They're near Oliver, who's sitting on the steps. Four policemen with batons enter the scene.

Todd: How are you, friend?

Oliver: This is the day of the return!

Policeman: What happened, young people? There was a call that there was a fight in Sidcup High Street.

Todd: Mr. Officer. There was no fight. It's just that our friend fell down the stairs and broke his head.

Policeman: Did you all fall down the stairs? Let's go to the police station, and we'll figure it out there.

Eddie: Officer, our friend needs medical attention.

Maria takes out a handkerchief and wipes the blood off Oliver's head.

Policeman: Don't worry, the car has everything you need to provide medical care. Let's go!

The guys help Oliver up and they leave the stage with the police. The light focuses on Charlie.

Charlie Bartowski: Yes, guys. I called the police. If I hadn't done this, it's unclear how Tony and John's meeting would have ended with Oliver trapped in two millstones. They were held at the police station all night and released only in the morning. The most important thing is that true friends did not leave Oliver in trouble and supported him despite the differences in their company. Oliver escaped with a concussion and a couple of rib fractures. The rest of his friends are just bruises and abrasions.

It was Saturday morning. While the guys were relaxing after a night at the police station and sleeping it off, Marcus was already on his way to Sidcup High Street. He was on his way there on Heinrich's instructions in order to intimidate the owner of a china shop named Ali.

The main stage turns to Sidcup High Street. Marcus comes on stage and sings his morning song in the style of oi.

26.Marcus’s song «Be strong» (Style: oi; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 2m 36s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Mercy is weakness...

It's time for strength...

To cure this sickness...

Fists is a strength...

There is no place for weaklings...

In our self-defense unit...

We a new Sidcup street kings...

Heavy boots on the feet...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Be strong...

And keep your fists ready...

Be strong...

And forget about rocksteady...

Be strong...

And be first on the line...

Be strong...

And everything be fine...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

We defeated the Reds yesterday...

Using only our fists...

It was their hard day...

We've gutted their red nests...

If you show your weakness...

In this crazy stone jungle...

You forever stay in sadness...

And flush your life in trash bundle...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Be strong...

And keep your fists ready...

Be strong...

And forget about rocksteady...

Be strong...

And be first on the line...

Be strong...

And everything be fine...

[guitar solo]

Marcus barely has time to finish his song when a child's scream is heard behind the stage.

27.Meeting with Matilda and the incident with Ali (Style: speech; Vocal: Two young men voice and child girl voice, two husky man voice); (Duration:)

Little girl: Marcus... Marcus...

An 8-year-old girl dressed in a white dress and a burgundy coat runs onto the stage. On her feet she wears white tights and burgundy loafers, and on her head she wears a burgundy beret. She has a shopping bag in her hands.

Marcus: My Flower! Matilda!

The girl runs to Marcus and hugs him.

Matilda: Brother Marcus, where were you last night? Mom and I have been waiting for you for a long time. I couldn't sleep for a long time without your fairy tale.

A bearded man in his 60s comes onto the stage from the door of the Ali China Shop with a rag and a bucket of water. He is wearing a long robe and baggy trousers. He wears a turban on his head and light boots on his feet. He dips a rag in a bucket and begins to wipe the shop window.

The lights focus back on Charlie the bartender, while on the main stage Marcus is talking to Matilda and Ali is wiping the display case. He looks at the audience and starts talking.

Charlie Bartowski: Yes, my friends. The rigid Marcus also has a weakness. This is his half-sister Matilda. Marcus lost his father when he was 5 years old. He was a military man and was a mercenary. He died in one of England's senseless military campaigns. Marcus's mom gave birth to Matilda from her colleague at work at the railway station who left them. Marcus loved his sister very much and called her a little flower. He was not only her brother, but he also replaced the father she had never seen.

The focus of the light returns to the main stage where Marcus is talking to Matilda.

Marcus: My sweetie, I had problems at work and I spent the night with friends yesterday.

Matilda: Mom sent me to get fresh bread, which is about to be delivered to the bakery.

Marcus: Good girl, Mom's assistant (He kisses Matilda on the forehead).

Fat Carl Bomb comes on stage and walks towards Marcus and Matilda, stopping at Ali, who is dusting the showcase.

Marcus: Okay, my flower, go to the bakery, I still have things to do today.

Matilda: Bye Brother Marcus (She kisses Marcus on the cheek).

Carl approaches Marcus and they start talking about something. Matilda starts to cross the street to the other side and, almost crossing, notices that her shoelaces are untied and begins to tie them. At this moment, a bakery truck drives onto the stage (a large cardboard figure of a truck front view with the inscription "Bakery" on the hood). He notices the girl on the road at the very last moment and starts to slow down. Ali throws the rag and runs out onto the road and pushes Matilda away. The truck hits him and he falls to the road. Shocked, Marcus pushes Carl away and runs to Matilda.

Marcus: Flower, are you all right?

The driver gets out of the car and runs towards Ali lying on the asphalt.

Matilda: Yes, Brother Marcus, I'm fine. This old man saved me.

Heated, Marcus runs up to the truck driver and grabs him by the scruff of the neck.

Marcus: Are you completely blind, you freak?

Charlie picks up the phone and calls an ambulance and police. Carl approaches Marcus. Ali begins to come to his senses.

Ali: How's the girl?

Marcus: She's fine. If it wasn't for you, old man, I'm afraid to even imagine what might have happened.

A siren is heard. An ambulance pulls into the main stage (a cardboard figure of a car with a front view with the inscription "ambulance "). Two orderlies come out with a stretcher and put Ali on them and take him off the stage. Marcus hugs Matilda. A policeman enters the scene and approaches the truck driver. Carl asks Marcus.

Carl: Mark, you do understand? This event doesn't change anything. Heinrich's assignment remains valid.

Marcus doesn't answer him. He takes Matilda's hand and they leave the stage together. The focus of the light returns to Charlie. At this time, on the main stage, everyone disperses and leaves the stage.

Charlie Bartowski: Yes, my friends. On this day, Marcus changed. He realized that it doesn't matter what color your skin is or where you come from. Human qualities do not depend on this. The one he called the cockroach saved her sister from certain death and suffered herself. Love for Matilda awakened feelings in the indomitable Marcus and he became different. Thank God Ali wasn't badly hurt by that traffic accident. And a week later, he returned to his store. Heinrich demanded that John Skull's gang complete his mission. There have also been changes in the Red Brigade. Tony the Hammer was shocked that Oliver didn't bend under either John or him. He persevered and remained himself. Even when the Reds beat him up. Within a week, the wounds had healed and Oliver had returned to life in Sidcup. And here he is...

Charlie looks back at the door and Oliver comes on stage. He's already cut his hair and is wearing a recognizable black raincoat and a stupid yellow tie. He holds a familiar case with a saxophone in his hands.

28.Oliver's song "Friends Stay Friends" (Style: rocksteady; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 4m 14s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Everything changes in this life...

But music and true friendship live forever...

Politicians can't ruin our live...

True friends stand ever and ever

Friendship is tested by time...

And difficult life circumstances...

Everything is never be fine...

And it is checked by distances...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Friends Stay Friends...

...For better or for worse...

Friends Stay Friends...

always open home doors...

Friends Stay Friends...

And they defeat evil together...

Friends Stay Friends...

They are not afraid of bad weather...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Friendship is not divided into colors...

And political interests...

Can't buy it with pounds and dollars...

Only emotion chains is bests...

It doesn't go away with time...

She gets old with people...

Strengthening like wine...

Bringing together more people...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

Friends Stay Friends...

...For better or for worse...

Friends Stay Friends...

always open home doors...

Friends Stay Friends...

And they defeat evil together...

Friends Stay Friends...

They are not afraid of bad weather...

[saxophone solo]

During the performance of this song, Todd, Edd, Maria and Anna enter the stage on the first chorus. Anna is wearing her usual purple puffy dress and Maria is without a Nazi leather jacket. They sing along in the chorus and dance. At the end, Oliver takes his saxophone out of his case and gives a great solo. After the end of the song, the friends head towards the Dagger pub. Anna stops Oliver and says.

Anna: Guys, go ahead, we'll join you later.

Anna looks Oliver straight in the eye and needs to speak.

Anna: Ollie, what happened last Friday completely changed me. You weren't afraid of Tony and showed yourself to be a true knight.

Oliver: I was more worried about you, baby.

Anna: I was such a fool and I was looking for love in the wrong place and with the wrong guy. Marcus ran away like a coward. Please, forgive me Ollie (She hugged him and started crying).

Oliver: Baby, I love you. So unpredictable (He smiles at her and wipes away her tears).

Anna: I love you, my bespectacled (She kisses him on the lips).

They take each other's hands and enter the pub.

29.The return of Marcus (Style: speech; Vocal: ); (Duration:)

The friends go to the bar and sit down on the bar stools. They smile at each other.

Todd: Charlie, my friend, pour us all a pint of your signature beer.

Charlie Bartowski: I am so glad to see you together.

Edd: The situation with Oliver that happened last Friday brought us together again.

Maria looks at Anna and Oliver and says.

Maria: Ollie and Anna, I'm so glad you're back together.

Anna and Oliver smile and kiss.

Oliver: I can't live without my Bestia.

Anna: And I can't live without my knight with glasses.

On the main stage, Ali comes out of his shop with a rag and a bucket of water and begins to habitually wipe the window of his store. And on the other side comes a sad and worried Marcus. He notices Ali, crosses the street and approaches him.

Marcus: Hello, Mr. Ali. How is your health?

Ali turns around, smiles, and answers him.

Ali: Good evening, young man. Thank you, I feel good. How's your sister?

Marcus: She's great. My name is Marcus. I was in a flurry at the time and didn't thank you, Mr. Ali. That day, you not only saved my sister, you saved me too. I owe you for the rest of my life.

Ali: Don't mention it, Marcus... I did what anyone else would have done. I'm old now, and I've lived my life. And you young people still have everything ahead of you.

Marcus: If you need any help, Mr. Ali, I am ready to help you.

Ali: Thanks Marcus. What's your sister's name?

Marcus: Matilda... She's my little flower (He's smiling).

Ali: Give her my regards (He smiles back and puts the cloth in the bucket).

Marcus shakes his hand.

Ali: Come to my store, you are always welcome here.

Marcus: Thanks to Mr. Ali. I'll definitely come by.

They say goodbye, Ali goes into his shop and Marcus crosses the street and goes towards the pub. Just as he's about to enter, someone calls him.

Heinrich Wolfson: A young man... Wait...and give your old friend some time...

Marcus turns around and makes a sour face. Heinrich saunters over to Marcus.

Marcus: Hello Mr. Wolfson.

Heinrich Wolfson: Hello, soldier... How's our assignment going? Have you outlined the conditions for our visiting friend?

Marcus: No, and to be honest, I'm not going to.

Heinrich Wolfson: What are you saying, young man?

Marcus: I'm not going to be involved in your dirty business with John anymore.

Heinrich Wolfson: What happened to you this week? You were an activist in our organization.

Marcus: During this week, I realized that I had chosen the wrong path. A true patriot will not persecute newcomers and humiliate the weak. A true patriot does not hate others, he makes his country the best for everyone.

Heinrich Wolfson: So you're leaving us? You do understand, don't you? That you already know a lot, and we won't just let it go (He starts yelling at Marcus)!

Marcus: I do not care... I have my own way now... And I'm sorry, my friends are waiting for me.

Heinrich Wolfson: You're a fool, you're a fool, Marcus.

Heinrich Wolfson swears and hurriedly leaves the stage. Marcus looks after him and smiles.

Marcus: Yes, I'm a fool!

Reggae music starts playing and Marcus starts singing his song.

30.Marcus's song " I was a fool" (Style: early reggae; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 3m 43s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

I believed in false ideals...

And I lost my head...

I've made dark deals...

And I became unbearably bad...

I betrayed my friends...

To become a patriot...

For protect our lands...

Sold my soul to devil for lot...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

I was a fool...

And I went down the wrong way...

I was a fool...

I realized, and wasn't to stay...

I was a fool...

I left my friends...

I was a fool...

Now, I have my dirty hands...

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Now, I'll try to fix it...

What I broke with my own hand...

And trampled with my feet...

Until it turned to sand...

I'm going to apologize...

To whom did I cause grief...

Now I'm change and recognize...

And I won't be dumb beef...

[[chorus, young male vocal]]

I was a fool...

And I went down the wrong way...

I was a fool...

I realized, and wasn't to stay...

I was a fool...

I left my friends...

I was a fool...

Now, I have my dirty hands...

[trumpet solo]

After finishing his song, Marcus goes to the pub. He slowly opens the door and hesitantly enters. The guys at the bar are looking at him.

31.They're back together (Style: speech; Vocal: ); (Duration:)

Marcus looks at the guys and they look at him. He starts talking.

Marcus: Guys, forgive me. I was a complete fool.

They start to smile…

Todd: Welcome back prodigal brother!

Marcus: Todd, Eddie, please forgive me.

Edd: Marcus, I don't recognize you. What happened to you?

Marcus: Brother Eddie… I've learned a lot this week. I realized that I had chosen the wrong path and made many mistakes. I traded friendship for false political slogans... Maria and Anna... I have confused you and dragged you into this neo-Nazi filth. Girls, forgive me.

Anna: If it wasn't for the situation with Oliver that happened last week, maybe we would still be in this mess.

Marcus: Ollie, my friend, I'm sorry. I was really afraid that the police would catch me, so I ran away with John and the guys.

Oliver: Mark, but you were the first one to fly into the crowd that was kicking me and pushed them away from me.

Marcus: Yes? I don't remember, everything was a blur… Come to me, Eddie... I'll be honest, I missed you...

Marcus walks up to Eddie and gives him a friendly hug.

Edd: I missed you too, old fellow… What helped you to reconsider your life position?

Marcus: Last Saturday... When I almost lost Matilda (With concern in his voice). You slept it off after a night at the police station. And I went to extort tribute from Ali, who opened a store opposite our Dagger. And I saw Matilda walking to the bakery. I was distracted by a conversation with Carl, and at that time she ran out onto the road where a truck with fresh pastries was driving. And if it hadn't been for Ali, who managed to push her away, then everything could have ended very terrible. Old man Ali suffered a spinal injury and a head injury, while Matilda escaped with only fright. He's already been released from the hospital and he's already at his store. I visited him before I came here.

Maria: Oh my God... Mark!

Marcus looks at Charlie and smiles. Charlie smiles back at him.

Marcus: Forgive me, old fellow Bart. I was rude to you.

Charlie Bartowski: Marcus, I'm so glad you're back together. Would you like to drink something to your reunion?

Marcus: Yes, my friend. We'll all have your signature beer. Todd, you were right. Friendship and music are what unites us.

Charlie pours each of friends a pint of his signature beer. Tony the Hammer and shorty Daryl, who are already familiar to us, come on stage. They walk past the stage and enter the pub. Friends turn to the door and for a moment everyone freezes in a pause. It is unclear what to expect from the new pub guests.

Tony: Calm down guys… We come in peace. I'm here for you, Oliver.

Oliver: Tell Tony... I'm listening to you.

Tony: After that Friday, when we tried to punish you, I thought for a long time. You didn't go back on your words and didn't come over to us. And You haven't moved on to the Skull... You've remained a true communist. I remember your words: «How are you different from this gang? You're just as beaten up as they are. You only differ in symbols.» It turned my worldview upside down. I realized that I'm not doing politics, but nonsense. I turned into a monster trying to hide my aggression behind the red flag of the revolution. And you know what? I have disbanded the red brigade. Some of the guys went to other teams, but Daryl and I were left on our own. Ollie, forgive me (He holds out his hand to Oliver).

Oliver: Errare humanum est… It is human nature to make mistakes… It is human nature to forgive. (He holds out his hand to him and shakes his hand and smile.)

Tony: Will you take Daryl and me on your team?

Oliver: As my team decides.

Todd: We welcome everyone who is not looking for politics, but is looking for true friendship.

Daryl: We won't let you guys down.

Todd: Charlie, my friend, pour a beer for our new friends.

Charlie Bartowski: With pleasure.

Charlie pours beer for Tony and Daryl.

Edd: I propose a toast. To our new friends Tony and Daryl.

Todd: Here's to you friends.

The guys clink glasses and drink.

Daryl: I have a surprise for you, friends. I've prepared a song in the spirit of '69.

Daryl goes to the jukebox and puts on a reggae song.

32.Daryl’s song «Stomp all that moon» (Style: skinhead reggae; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 2m 26s)

[Intro]

[Chorus, male vocal]

Uuuu yeah...that it...

our rocksteady beat...

and go to the moon...

boots stomp to boom...

...stomp all that moon...

...stomp all that moon...

Uuu yeah...

...stomp all that moon...

During the performance of the song, all the friends start dancing the classic skinhead stomper dance. Oliver takes out his saxophone and gives a solo. After the end of the song, the friends return to the bar and continue the reconciliation celebration.

The main stage turns towards a dark alley and we notice the figure of a man in a hat and a raincoat standing in the dark. When the light begins to focus on him, we realize that he is Heinrich Wolfson. He holds a black briefcase in his hand. Johnny and his two bonecrusers, a Bomb and a Stormtrooper, enter main the scene.

33.A bullet for Marcus (Style: speech; Vocal: ); (Duration:)

John sees Heinrich and stops. At this time, the guys are drinking beer and discussing something in the pub.

Heinrich Wolfson: Johnny, come to me, my boy. And you young people (looking at the Bomb and the Stormtrooper), while you smoke.

John approaches Heinrich. The Bomb and the Stormtrooper each take out a cigarette and light it.

John: Boss, Marcus betrayed us. He refused to extort money from the Arab.

Heinrich Wolfson: I know that. He told me everything himself.

John: Boss, let's beat the shit out of this traitor.

Heinrich Wolfson: No John. Marcus knows too much about our organization, right down to the very top. You know that kind of information can kill, right? (He looks into John's eyes and smiles maliciously.)

John: I understand, Boss.

Heinrich Wolfson opens his briefcase and pulls out a revolver without showing for smokers who stand five meters away from them. He gives it to John.

Heinrich Wolfson: Here, you know what to do with it. Then the police will find this revolver in the hands of Tony the Hammer, who committed suicide. You can kill two people with one revolver. Understood?

John: That's brilliant, Boss. (He puts the revolver in the inside pocket of his leather jacket.)

Heinrich Wolfson: And make sure that there are no witnesses. I'm not going to get you out of trouble this time.

John: I got it, Boss. Everything will be done.

Heinrich Wolfson: Well, I'm off. You didn't see me, okay?

John: Yes, I get it, Boss!

Heinrich Wolfson leaves the stage, looking towards the Bomb and the Stormtrooper who have already finished smoking. John watches him go, too.

John: What are you staring at!? Come to me! (Looking at the Bomb and the Stormtrooper)

Rick: Johnny, what are we going to do with that asshole Marcus?

John: Take your time, Stormtrooper. I have a surprise for our friend Marcus. Bomb, now you're going to go into a pub and invite him for a chat. Make sure he goes out alone. Understood?

Carl: Okay, Skull.

John: Just be quiet. Don't let him worry about anything? Tell him it's about Ali's china shop. Go fat man!

Carl the Bomb enters the pub through the back door. The guys at the bar notice him.

Carl: Marcus, can I talk to you for a minute?

Marcus, understanding everything perfectly, gets up and walks towards Carl. But Todd gets up too and tries to go with him. But Marcus stops him and says.

Marcus: Toddy, my friend. This is my cross, and I have to carry it myself. Everything will be fine. I just want to talk. Stay with the guys, I'll be back soon.

Todd: Mark, be careful. If anything, we're here.

Marcus: I know, brother. Thank you for saving our team. (He shakes hands with Todd.)

Marcus walks over to Carl.

Marcus: I'm listening to you, Carl.

Carl: Marcus, John wants to talk to you about that Ali store. He's here in the alley, waiting for you. (He comes closer to him and starts whispering.) Buddy, be careful. I saw Wolfson pass something to the Skull.

Marcus: Thanks, Carl. You're a good person. Remember that your friend Daryl is always happy to see you. He's forgotten old grudges and will be glad to see you. (Carl looks at Daryl sitting at the bar and smiles.) You and I, my friend, have made a lot of mistakes. Let's go! No, wait, though.

Marсus turns to the guys and looks at Maria.

Marcus: Maria, please come to me, my Valkyrie.

Maria approaches Marcus.

Maria: Yes, Mark!

Marcus: Forgive me, Maria. I've been acting like an asshole lately. And I treated you like a thing, not a woman. I'm not a romantic, and I don't deserve your love. But I know a guy who will carry you in his arms for the rest of his life. (He points his finger at Todd sitting at the bar)

Maria's eyes are wet, and she hugs Marcus without saying anything.

Marcus: Well all. Come on, Carl. Wait for me Maria, I'll be back soon.

Maria returns to the guys, and Marcus and Carl go out into the alley where John and Rick are waiting for them.

John: Well, hello, traitor! Don't you have nightmares?

Marcus: Hi John. No, now it seems to me that everything we did was a nightmare.

John: You fool, do you not understand? You don't leave our organization on their own.

Marcus: Why? I've already left. I told Wolfson about it personally.

At the pub, Eddie begins to worry about Marcus.

Edd: Guys, I have a bad feeling about this. These guys won't just leave Marcus.

Todd: Yes, you're right, Eddie.

Oliver: Yes, he looked like he was being led to Golgotha.

Maria: Olli, this is not the time for your clever jokes. He needs help.

Tony: Let's go there before anything really happens there.

The guys get up and walk towards the door where their friend Marcus recently entered.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the alley is heating up. John pulls out a revolver and points it at Marcus.

At that moment, the guys come out of the door and see this picture.

Todd: What are you doing, John? Let go of the gun.

John: Where did you all come from?

Marcus: Guys, go away. This is my destiny. Blood can only be washed off with blood.

Maria: Mark, what are you saying? Johnny, dear, let go of the gun.

John: Maria, he has no other choice. If I don't kill him, others will.

Marcus: Don't drown your soul, John, shoot!

Tony and Eddie started walking towards John and Marcus. John pulled the revolver away from Marcus and pointed it at Tony.

John: Back off!!!

Tony and Eddie freeze.

John: Go to hell, you bastard!!! (He points the gun at Marcus and shoots.)

But Eddie manages to get between him and Marcus. The bullet hits him in the stomach and he falls to the ground. Tony kicks the revolver out of John's hands. For a few seconds, everyone freezes.

Marcus: Eddie, no!!! (He quickly descends to his friend.)

John, realizing that he made a mistake, quickly runs off the stage. Rick rushes after him. He pulls Carl away, but he stays. He looks at Eddie and cries. Charlie heard the sound of a gunshot, picked up the phone and called an ambulance and the police. All the guys ran up to Eddie. He was conscious.

Marcus: Friend, why did you do that? (Crying…)

Edd: Because you're my childhood friend and it's hard for me without you. (Coughing up blood)

Marcus: Don't die, friend. I need you. (Crying…)

The lanterns above the alley go out, and only the sounds of police and ambulance sirens are heard and their flashing lights are visible. The friends bent over Marcus and Eddie. The light switches to Charlie, the bartender, who looks at what is happening in the alley and just remains silent. In the alley, the paramedics carried Eddie away with a stretcher. The police came with notebooks and pens and examined the crime scene. Then everyone leaves the main stage and the stage turns back to Sidcup High Street.

34.Bartender Charlie Bartowski epilogue (Style: speech; Vocal: Husky man voice); (Duration:)

Charlie turns to the audience and begins his monologue.

Charlie Bartowski: It was a hard day for friends. Yes, a friend saved a friend's life by shielding his chest from a bullet with his body. Who knows how this day would have ended if Eddie hadn't started worrying about his childhood friend and if the ambulance hadn't arrived on time. John and his friend Rick were later caught by the police. He was charged with attempted murder and organizing a criminal community. A month after these events, an article appeared in the newspaper that a local shadow businessman and a member of the BNSM party, Heinrich Wolfson, was sent to prison. He was charged with corruption and organization of a criminal community.

Yes, it's been five years since those events… (He smiles and sighs) Marcus continued to work at Harry's car service, began to move up the trade union line. He now works at Bexley City Hall as an activist for reducing unemployment. His little sister Matilda is an excellent student and is learning to play the trumpet. Todd and Maria reunited and got married and opened their own hairdressing salon together. Where Todd cuts men's hair and Maria cuts women's hair. Oliver and Anna got married too. He works in the local jazz orchestra at the Philharmonic and she works in a clothing store. Carl and Daryl are back together. They bought a truck and started trucking… Tony went to work as a journalist. He had the right education. He's writing good articles about our Sidcup right now. Eddie... The guy from Jamaica. He left the cannery and now sells records in a popular Sidcup music store. Can you hear the sound of music? It's him…

Charlie looks towards the door. Eddie comes on stage in a beautiful black suit and a short-brimmed hat and start sing his song.

35.A song by Eddie and his friends «Skinhead till I die» (Style: skinhead reggae; Vocal: Young man voice); (Duration: 4m 40s)

[[verse, young male vocal]]

What a beautiful day...

My boots are shiny...

Without dirt and clay...

Ironed suit and pants not tiny...

Today is long-awaited Friday...

And it's a celebration...

I'll see my friends that day...

From long separation...

[[chorus, young male vocal and a chorus of friends]]

And I'm stay...

Skinhead till I die...

My friends stay...

Skinheads till we die...

Politicians will not be able to bend us...

We stay skinheads till we die...

It doesn't matter what our race and color skin for us...

Because...We stay skinheads till we die...

[saxophone solo]

[[verse, young male vocal]]

Just music and true friendship...

They unite us like no other...

The storm is not terrible for our ship...

We support each other...

We will pass real friendship on by inheritance...

To our children and descendants...

And teach see and overcome difficulties by face to face...

And stay yourself and don't lose your pants...

And...

[[chorus, young male vocal and a chorus of friends]]

I'm stay...

Skinhead till I die...

My friends stay...

Skinheads till we die...

Politicians will not be able to bend us...

We stay skinheads till we die...

It doesn't matter what our race and color skin for us...

Because...We stay skinheads till we die...

[trumpet solo]

At the moment of the performance of this song, Marcus comes on stage in a great plaid suit and hat, he holds Matilda by the hand, who is in a beautiful summer dress and has a trumpet in her hand. Then Todd and Maria come on stage after them. Todd is wearing a nice suit and coat and hat. Maria in a long blue evening dress. Oliver and Anna come on stage behind them. He is wearing a long raincoat and a three-piece suit with the usual yellow tie, and he has a saxophone in his hand. Anna is wearing a long red evening dress. Tony, Daryl and Carl come on stage behind them. All dressed in beautiful suits and hats. All the friends join Eddie in the chorus and dance. Oliver performs a saxophone solo. Matilda ends the song with her trumpet solo. Charlie goes out to his friends and dances with them. They take off their hats and bow to the audience. We see that all the guys are skinhead and they all have the usual heavy Dr. Martens high boots with white laces on their feet. And the ladies Maria, Anna and Matilda are wearing Dr. Martens boots with white laces.

A curtain.

The end.
