Base not your joy upon the deeds of others, for what is given can be taken away.

A+R are seated at chairs behind typewriters. They wear suits and ties.

B is prone on floor. He has amazing blue stripy sleeve-mask and big orange gloves. Books and documents etc. trail from A+R to him. All is still except for A+R typing their thoughts onto continuous stream of paper.

Slowly BA winds vinyl, B starts to stir.

Over a time (around 10 mins so people can circulate, read typing, watch B etc.), music speed slowly increases as does B’s movements. B starts to move, hold, feel etc. books from around him. The tension mounts as A+R type faster, BA winds vinyl quicker and quicker and B becomes more frenzied – MUSIC KICKS IN (ie normal speed) – B goes ape shit ripping, destroying, throwing, biting, kicking books.

A+R rush from seats pulling B away from books and throwing to floor.

A+R examine ruined books closely. They are disgusted but seduced by the abuse and B’s experiencing of the books. They both feel books weight, texture, mass. They examine ripped pages but do not read the words. They grow possessive of books and start to argue. B stirs on floor

A+R leap on B beating him. R grapples B in head lock, while A (turning on R) quickly ties them together with black tape. R is enraged but helplessly tied to B. They are pushed to the floor by A.

MUSIC STOPS DEAD. A returns to ruined books and becomes absorbed in sensual experiencing of paper (?!).

B+R, beaten and betrayed, move back to type writers where they begin typing. B as right hand. R as left.

After a few minutes BA starts music again (different) - party continues. B+R+A* disperse back into crowd.
