Three:
Scene 1: The party have assembled
at Elizabeth's home, and this time Joan is present. She has brought along
her new boyfriend, city trader Hank Millbeck. Hank waits in his car while
they all decide whether to admit him to the cause. Joan tells them he is
only 29, though he looks much older, and he is petrified of losing his
job. They vote to admit Hank, and C.J. goes to call him in. He asks Doc
to help him, so he can have a word with him. Outside, he orders the Doc
to refer to Geraldine as 'Ms. Hackstraw' from now on. Jimmy fills Hank
in on the story so far, while Doc is using Hank's car phone to ask Geraldine
out to dinner again. |

2: In the Goffley Tandoori, Geraldine is asking Doc Morrissey what his
first name is. He tells her it is Gerald, and jokes that perhaps their
similar names mean they were meant for each other. He asks her if she will
sleep with him, but Geraldine declines, telling him she values his friendship
too highly. |

Elizabeth is telling Jimmy he must inspire his troops, as there is a lot
of apathy amongst them. Jimmy has no ideas on how to do this, so Elizabeth
tells him. |

| Scene
3: In Climthorpe's French restaurant La Belle Epoque, Geraldine tells C.J.
over dinner that she knows about his ordering of Doc Morrissey not to speak
her name. C.J. is horrified to learn that she has been out to dinner with
the Doc again, and she tells him she will do so again. The waiter asks
if everything is satisfactory, and C.J. tells him no, it bloody well isn't. |

Jimmy is telling everyone assembled at Elizabeth's home why he wants the
revolution so much - he tells them he wants to follow in Wat Tyler and
Lambert Simnel's footsteps, by having a street named after him. |
|
| Scene
4: Tom has taken Geraldine Hackstraw to a Thai restaurant, and he is busy
wiping his nose, thanks to the spicy food. She tells him his desire for
her is not mutual, and that the only person Tom loves is himself. |

After the meeting, Elizabeth tells Jimmy that his speech earlier wasn't
exactly what she had in mind, and that he should have focussed more on
the logic behind the absurdism, and the philosophy behind the concept.
Jimmy's look suggests she may as well have been talking in Japanese. |
. 
|
| Scene
5: At the next meeting, Jimmy stands to explain the logic behind the absurdism
and the philosophy behind the concept, but barely manages a sentence. Elizabeth
takes over, preaching that although the country has a large proportion
of senior citizens, society still remains essentially a youth culture,
with films and fashions aimed at the young. Their aim is to turn this state
of affairs around. The doorbell rings and David gets up to answer the door.
It is Hank, he has been made redundant also, emphasising at just the right
moment, exactly what Elizabeth has been saying. She encourages everyone
to visit the haunts and homes of elderly people and start recruiting. |

Jimmy visits a couple of old people's homes and a home for retired chiropodists,
but the residents are more interested in watching Neighbours on the TV,
and sleeping. Prue gets caught up on a coach full of pensioners to Bognor.
The driver pulls away, and won't let her off. David tries to recruit from
a waiting room at an impotent clinic. He is asked to leave, but has an
appointment. Tom and Linda are back working together, visiting sheltered
accommodation. Elizabeth visits a gentleman's club in London, but is quickly
ushered out. Joan and Hank go to see prostate patients in the local hospital.
C.J. is at home, making things up and writing them down. Doc Morrissey
is on the phone to Geraldine again. |

6: Jimmy is looking over the results of the recruitment campaign at the
next meeting at 38 Leibnitz Drive. Nobody has recruited anybody. Jimmy
stuns the whole party by telling them they must work out their tactics
first, and then go recruiting. |
