Backdrop

Cramped old Hotel Room .1. Living area with sofas and chairs four bedrooms leading off main.  

Another old cramped hotel room .2. Down the hall from room .1.
Room 2 comes with kitchen, bath and bed where Lou and John are holed up, entertaining.....

1. Living Room:

Paul: Where's George cleared off to, Rings?

Ringo: How should I know Paul, I'm not his mudda.

Paul: No need to get narky mate, Evie's a bit stinky needs her bum changed and I ain't doing it, even though she's the cutest little thing. Paul starts talking baby-talk to the baby: Aren't you just the cutest, yes you are, you're a cutie pie mummmmummm

Brian yelling through the main door into the room: Get those bloody birds out of the hotel room Paul, you have a show to prepare for!!!

Ringo yelling back at Brian: It's just Evie, Brian, relax man. Paul change the kid, I'm all rings. Ringo points to the numerous pieces of jewellery on his fingers.

Paul: No way she is putrid, smell that. Paul shoves Evie's nappy clad butt in Ringo's face.

Ringo: Oh goodness gracious, any gas masks round here? I'll go look. Ringo exits to bedroom expediently.

Paul: Why would there be any--- Ringo slams door of the bedroom leaving Paul holding baby out at arm's length- Damn Ringo got me!

Fade to Black....

.1. Bedroom:

Ringo begins tossing clothing out of his suitcase and saying a mantra:      Gas mask, gas mask, gas mask.

A creaking sound emits from the wardrobe which is against one wall in the bedroom.

Ringo continues to search, by now he is in Paul's suitcase that was shoved in the room when they arrived. Ringo pauses wondering if he indeed heard a strange sound, shakes his head and goes back to his search for a gas mask.

Ringo, speaking quietly to himself: Paul why do you have a teacosy in your luggage? Ringo places it on his head then wonders where Paul had actually placed it on himself ..... ugh yuck-- Oh a banana!! 

The teacosy is thrown back in with Paul's crumpled, previously ironed, underwear. The banana is shoved in Ringo's pocket.

Someone sneezes.
