Scenes with Davy Jones

4 scenes

We were talking with the Master regarding the nature of conceptual reality. Psychologically speaking, the human mind, or brain or whatever, is almost incapable of distinguishing between the real and the vividly imagined experience. Sound and film and music and radio. Even these manipulative experiences are received more or less directly and uninterpretive by the mind. They are cataloged and recorded and either acted upon directly, or stored in the memory, or both. Now this process, unless we pay it tremendous attention, begins to separate us from the reality of the now. Am I being clear? For we must allow the reality of the now to just happen, as it happens. Observe and act with clarity. For where there is clarity, there is no choice. And where there is choice, there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing?

Davy

Nothing? You know nothing?

That's right.

Davy

You mean to tell me we've been here sitting listening to you and you know nothing?

Don't you see, David? It doesn't matter whether we're in the box or not.

[ordering at the studio commissary]

I'll have a finger sandwich, hold the mold.

Davy

And, uh, I'd like a glass of cold gravy with a hair in it, please.

Mrs. Ace
[sarcastically]

One of your own?

The Critic

Song was pretty white.

Davy

Well, so am I, what can I tell ya?

The Critic

You've been working on your dancing, though.

Davy

Oh, yeah, yeah. I've been rehearsing it lately. You noticed that.

The Critic

Yeah, it doesn't leave you much time for your music. You should spend more time on it; because, the youth of America depends on you to show the way.

Davy

Yeah?

The Critic

Yeah.

Crowd

We want the Monkees! We want the Monkees! Peter, Davy, Micky, Mike, oh god! Here they come!!!

Davy

Hello everybody. How is it going today?

Crowd
(cheering)
Michael

Great. And now, we are going to bring you a song for the audience, and it's called... "Circle Sky".

So, we have to get our instruments ready.

[The Monkees grab their instruments.]

And there we go.

Michael

That should do it, Micky.

Davy

All right everybody, let's get this party started, and make... lots... of... NOISE!

Crowd
(cheering wildly once again)


[The Monkees started playing "Circle Sky". The crowd goes wild.]
