    "Piece Of Pisces" works well in English, because it sounds rather like a mildly naughty colloquialism meaning "easy" (hence my comment above).

    As to a title for the whole thing, I'm thinking of "Ye Undertaker's Wind" (I'm sure you all know where that comes from) since anything that paraphrases LALD sounds clumsy and forced. We've already done a similar thing with OP.

    :D I like the veggie fight! Perhaps a quick mention of broccoli might fit there too?

    Next scene, initial thoughts....

    Act 3, Scene 4. Ye chambers of Solitaire.

    Lord Kananga: Thee must explain to me, Solitaire. Thou didst see death in ye cards, yet Sir James doth live still.
    Solitaire: 'Twas the death of Rosie I must have seen.


    (Later...)

    Solitaire: Thou must put down those cards!
    Sir James: Oh? I did rather fancy a game of strip poker.

    ....

    Solitaire: Ist there time for lovers' lesson number eight?
    Sir James: (Wearily.) Well, I'll try...
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,344MI6 Agent
    Solitaire: "After I lost my virginity to you I have lost my sight"
    Bond: "That's a first, even for me...."

    (it should be possible to make a mastrubation joke here, but it escapes me)

    Solitaire: "James, since I bedded you I'm a greatly changed woman! "
    Bond: " Worry not. This always happens when I bed wenches."
    Solitaire: "But since you took my virginity I have lost my sight!"
    Bond: "Back in my schoolboy days the nuns threathened something simmular would happen to me. Trust me, it's not true."

    (Hulk joke?)

    Solitaire: The cards will tell thee nothing, the sight is a gift given to only a few.

    Shortly after this scene, we have a double-decker bus chase to deal with- how can we get round this?

    Could it be a Stage Coach, as some had seating
    On top at the back ?
    I have a few ideas but it will be this evening before I can
    Write anything long.

    Stagecoach, that'll do nicely. :)

    The Bond team have always been quite inventive in their search for alternatives to car chases- fire engine in AVTAK, cello case in TLD, bus in LALD, moon buggy in DAF, etc etc- but our choices are much more limited. The barge in Ye Gilded Eye was clever, and so is this.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,344MI6 Agent
    Perhaps a violin case for TLD? :))
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,874Chief of Staff
    :)) It's funny, but how about a double bass?

    (Feigns innocent look.... whistles nonchalantly...)

    Act 3, Scene 5.

    (Solitaire shows Sir James the poppy fields... Baron Samedi sees the two together... men on horseback chase them, Sir James leaps on top of a convenient stagecoach and tells Solitaire to get inside.... they drive under a low bridge, he yells at her to get down, the top slices off and hits the following riders... they get to the pier and escape on Quarrel's boat.)



    Act 4, Scene 1. A port.

    (After they land, they are captured by Yeoman Big's men (if we want to use the cab driver, then we have to write an earlier scene (Act 2, Scene 3) to introduce him). Sir James escapes though Solitaire doesn't. Would be nice to have the little old lady Mrs Bell thinking James is her instructor, but obviously planes are out.)

    Well done, Thunderpussy. Whisper as cab driver's a great idea. I've made a few changes, additions, etc above which I hope you like! {[]
