THE SETTLEMENT

BIG BROTHER RUKUS
Treating us like shit. We are human beings. Making us queue at
everything and everywhere like sheep. Making us stay crowded in one
place like cattle. Making us tethered in one place like goats.
It is one thing to treat a man like shit, now you have to treat a man like
an animal too.
SMALL BROTHER RUKUS
I need a smoke pretty bad.
GIGGLY SISTER RUKUS
Those things will kill you, you know. And you know I am asthmatic
brother.
SMALL BROTHER RUKUS
Ptah!
BIG BROTHER RUKUS
Fear not about dying little brother. Tomorrow we go up in smoke. Our
souls wafting in the air and our broken dreams scattered across the
seven seas infecting would be travellers and other people like us.

BIG BROTHER RUKUS
That is the spirit sister. They may take away our freedom but they can’t
take away our songs. They cannot take away our singing from us.
Gobble gobble gobble dooooo
