Idk about this, I usually write this sort of chat stuff for the Avengers, but ignoring the fact that there were no phones then I figured I’d do a Sex Pistols version…I might write more like this later, if it feels right. I’m trying to come up with something longform but the well’s kind of dry lately.

Hope you like it anyway.

Vivienne: MALC! I DON’T SEE THEM!

Steve: You’re not supposed to see us, we’re wearing our invisibility cloaks

Johnny: Speak for yourself, I’m just minding my own business

Malcolm: Need I remind you all we have a gig in three hours?

Sid: Where is it again?

Chrissie: At Hyde. Is that what I’m here for?

Malcolm: Yes, Chrissie, you are a walking calendar and we love you.

Chrissie: I don’t love you.

Sid: You will 💦

Chrissie: Nice try 🙄

Nick: She’s my girlfriend

Sid: No she’s not

Chrissie: He’s right, I’m not

Chrissie: The sex is good though, when you can get it up

Steve: She just did a number on you, Nick

Nick: Like I did a number on you, ‘cause you can’t play for shit?!

Nancy: What’s going on here, I can hear you all screaming all the way across the zoo!

Sid: You aren’t all the way across the zoo, Nancy, I can see you talking to the penguins…

Nancy: Yes, well, the New York penguins aren’t very nice…they spit at you.

Chrissie: I don’t think penguins can spit…

Nancy: Well, those can! I’m telling you they spat up my hair…

Sid: With their spit?

Johnny: I think Nancy’s mixing up that other time we went to the zoo and the donkey sneezed in her face…

Nancy: That was traumatic too, I had to sleep for three days!

Sid: More like three hours, but that’s alright.

Malcolm: Why are we still here?

Nancy: I haven’t seen the butterflies yet!

Malcolm: You’ve been here three times in the last few weeks…

Johnny: Don’t get your knickers in a twist, I’ll take her.

Vivienne: Has anyone noticed Y/N is suspiciously silent?

Steve: Last I saw we were at the lion enclosure, said she was going to check if there were any baby snakes since last time we were here…

Malcolm: That was a week ago

Steve: You try telling Y/N that, you’ll have your head bitten off

Malcolm: Am I really the only one concerned about our concert?

Sid: Concerned concert

Sid: Ha ha ha

Malcolm: Yes, you’re awfully witty

Sid: Indeed I am

Malcolm: Now will you please use said wits to find Y/N before we’re late again?

Sid: Alright, yeah

Sid: But you’ll owe me

Malcolm: I’ll pay you in candy and clothes, how does that sound?

Sid: Perfect

Vivienne: Not my clothes, you’re not!

Malcolm: Hush Viv, I’m making a deal with the devil

Johnny: Are you now? 😈

Johnny: Did you hear that, Sid? Apparently you’re the devil now.

Sid: Am I?

Sid: Somebody forgot to tell me

Johnny: You do know what that means, though, right?

Sid: We don’t have to show tonight or any night and should absolutely hitchhike someplace no one will find us

Johnny: That’s right

Johnny: I’ll fetch Chrissy and Nancy

Sid: I’ve got Steve and Y/N, they were in the bathroom trying to get coins out of the machines…maybe Steve can use them to call Jordan and let her in on the plan.

Johnny: Alright, so ahead we go! Don’t forget the way!

Malcolm: VIV! STOP THEM!

Vivienne: Me? You’re the manager, manage them.

Malcolm: THATS CRUEL AND UNHELPFUL, the GIG’s BEEN SET FOR WEEKS!

Vivienne: No one told you to let Steve bring them to the zoo on gig day, Malc. As far as I’m concerned, this is entirely your doing.

Malcolm: WICKED VIV! I LOVE YOU!

Vivienne: Yes, and that’s precisely why. I’ll call down to Hyde and tell them the Pistols are indisposed.

Malcolm: THANK YOU

Vivienne: You are welcome.

Steve: Tell them too we’ll be gone at least a week. The dinosaurs have missed me.

Johnny: He means we’ll be somewhere in the Jurassic Coast, though don’t tell them that

Sid: If someone tails us, I’ll kill them

Sid: I’ve got my chains

Sid: Nancy’s got her truncheons, don’t you, Nance?

Nancy: Oh yes, I’ve been dying to use them

Nancy: I got Y/N some too

Nancy: Though she’s busy right now on account of the shrooms we picked

Nancy: Mine haven’t kicked in yet

Johnny: They will, don’t you worry

Steve: Yeah…

Malcolm: See you in a week, behave yourselves somewhat please

Steve: Two weeks, but alright

Malcolm:

Malcolm: I think I should quit

Vivienne: You’d never.

Malcolm: True

Malcolm: But I should

Vivienne: You know what they say about should.

Malcolm: That it’s never done?

Vivienne: Nor should it be.

Malcolm: I really do sort of love you.

Vivienne: Thank you.

Malcolm: You don’t love me?

Vivienne: Only sometimes

Malcolm:

Malcolm: I guess that’s better than no.

Vivienne: It is, now shoo. I’m trying to talk to the lions.

Malcolm:

Malcolm: This is all very strange

Steve: Go home

Malcolm: Alright.

Vivienne: I wonder do they realize they’ve told us where they’ll be…

Malcolm: Shhh…that’s a secret.

Vivienne: 🙄🙄🙄

Rob Chapman (@rcscribbler on Twitter), self-descibed 'ex_music journalist & hackademic' & author of many fine books including the wonderful 'Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head' tweeted this today: "Sadly it only seems appropriate to repost my original block erase dub cut up of Nick Kent's Marquee Moon review. It still conveys the album perfectly."
