Monty Python/LOST crossover
Wednesday, January 24, 2007

Hey All

As I wait like everyone else for the new eps of LOST to come on (although I am glad that the initial hype over it is over and people see that it is in fact a flawed show), my mind wanders. And usually when my mind is wandering, I listen to some Monty Python. Specifically bits from LIFE OF BRIAN, which is my favorite of the three Python movies.

And one scene and minor character has planted in my mind what I think would be a really funny scene for LOST. Jack is in his cell, and hear something coming from the speaker. He comes in closer to hear the faint voice over it, until it finally become clear and this is what he hears.

Voice: You lucky bastard.

Jack: Whose there?

(Looks around and sees across from him another cell with a man [Ben] hanging from some chains against a wall.)

Ben: You lucky, lucky bastard.

Jack: What?

Ben: Quite the Others little pet, arn't you?

Jack: The hell do you mean?

Ben: You must have slipped them a few hundred buck, didn't you?

Jack: Slipped him a few hundred? You saw them tie me up.

Ben: Oh, what wouldn't I GIVE to be tied up. I sometimes stay awake all just dreaming about being tied up like a pig.

Jack: Well it's not exactly friendly, isn't it. They had me gagged with a hood over my head.

Ben: Gagged and with a hood!!! Ohhh, my idea of heaven, is to be allowed to be gagged with a hood over my head. Just for a few hours. They must think the sun shines out your ass, sonny.

Jack: Oh fuck off, I've had a hard time.

Ben: YOU HAD A HARD TIME! I'VE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS!! THEY ONLY HUNG ME THE RIGHT WAY UP YESTERDAY!!! So don't you come around.

Jack: All right, all right.

Ben: They must think you're God all mighty.

Jack: What'll they do to me?

Ben: Oh probably just get away with brainwashing.

Jack: BRAINWASHING!!!

Ben: Yeah. First offense.

Jack: Get away with brainwashing?!? That's-

Ben: Best thing the Others did for us.

Jack: WHAT!!!

Ben: Oh if it wern't for brainwashing, this island would be in a right bloody mess.

Jack: GUARD!!!

Ben: CLEAN THEM OUT, I SAY!!!

Jack: GUARD!!!

Ben: PROGRAM SOME SENSE INTO THEM.

(Some scuzzy looking Other comes in)

Other: What do you want?

Jack: I want you to move me to another cell.

Other: Hah (spits in Jacks face)

Ben: Oh, look at that. Bloody favoritism.

Other: Shut up, you.

Ben: Sorry.

(Mr. Friendly comes in)

Mr. Friendly: Henry wants to see you.

Jack: Me?

Mr. Friendly: Come on!!!

Jack: What does he want to see me for?

Mr. Friendly: I think he wants to know which way you want to be tortured.

Ben: (laughs) Nice one, I like it.

Mr. Friendly: Shut up!!

Ben: Right. (everyone else leaves) Teriffic people, the Others. Bloody teriffic.

And I know Henry Gale's real name is Ben and all that, but I don't care. Just thought it would be funny for there to be a chatty prisoner being held captive by the Others telling either Jack or Sawyer how good they had it.

It makes me wish I'd actually seen Lost so I could truly appreciate it, but I laughed none the less:)
