Scene 5

The Scottish Parliament.

Enter Wendy and Macduff R.

Macduff          Oh, what a wonderful day this is! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the birds are singing in the trees...

Wendy            Everybody's so happy. In fact, I even saw a traffic warden smiling this morning.

Macduff          And I'm so looking forward to the ceilidh. The Dashing White Sergeant, the Eightsome Reel, the Gay Gordons...

Wendy            ...Very Happy Gordons ...

Macduff          Isn't life wonderful? Everything's coming up roses.

Wendy            Did we not sing that last year?

Macduff          Oh, right enough. But I feel like singing anyway.

Song - "Happy Talking"

As they sing, the stage darkens slowly, leaving them in the spotlight. The green curtains close behind them, giving the stage crew time to change the scenery.

Exit Wendy and Macduff R, hand in hand.
