START EPISODE #22

The next day

"Okay, everyone here? Where’s Squill?"

"He’ll be along shortly. He’s still collecting tennis balls."

"It’s becoming an obsession. Can’t you put a stop to it Tandar?"

"I’ll see...."

"Here he is."

"Sorry I’m late. Lookit this. I found it on the lawn near the lake. That makes seven so far."

"Where are you keeping them Squill?"

"I’m storing them in this hollow up here. It’ll hold lots. See."

"Hey yeah, you’ve quite a collection. Hang on! What’s with these two little hard ones? You should’ve waited ’til they got ripe."

"They’re golf balls you dill. Different game."

"Alright, alright, can we get back to this meeting. We..."

"Tandar before we do anything else shouldn’t we analyse yesterdays stuff-up? See if we can work out what went wrong."

"Waddya mean what went wrong, Rosso? I thought it went pretty well."

"Yeah, I agree Zingo. It wasn’t our fault there weren’t any munchies."

"Pretty well! Kalki duffed up one of the models, we ruined the shoot, wrecked a camera, Tandar nearly got captured, and we had to smash a window to get out."

"S-o-o-, what’s your point? And anyway Rosso, we didn’t smash a window, the humans did that."

"The point, lamebrain, is that we were lucky to get away. What would we have done if they had

captured Tandar?"

"Held an election I suppose."

"Well thank you very much Zingo."

"He didn’t mean it quite like that Tandar. What he meant to say is that we’d have tried to rescue you."

"That’s right Tandar. Then we’d have held an election."

"Actually Zingo has a point. We should have a second in command. Y’know if something happened to Tandar someone would have to take over."

"Well who? We need a leader with brains, imagination, daring and resourcefulness."

"Why, we’ve got by without one so far."

"Right that does it. I’m off. You lot elect someone and let me know."

"Hey Tandar...whoops, he’s gone. Hope we haven’t ruffled his feathers."

"I think he’s under too much pressure. The sooner we elect a deputy the better."

"Well who’s it going to be?"

"I nominate me."

"Kaegi I don’t think you can do that. Anyway what makes you leadership material?"

"Because I’m an endangered species. I’m recognised by the World Wildlife Fund."

"Kaegi you’re not even recognised by your own mother."

"I resent that."

"Who wouldn’t?"

"Hang on, how about Kalki? He’s fearless."

"Mindless more likely. He’d get us all killed."

"That’s not funny Zingo. Any way I don’t want the job. But if you’re so smart, you nominate someone then."
