Jade Rose sings: "Don't cry Darling don't cry Don't cry Don't cry Don't don't cry" (Jade Rose gazes one last time at the Cantina.

After a moment the crowd quiets down. Ashley London exclaims, "Next up is Cecilia Scully!" Cecilia Scully stands up to address the assembly. Cecilia Scully says, "Tomorrow Never Dies" (Cecilia Scully goes out of focus as the room gets dimmer. The lights fade back on, and you see a screen projecting shadowy swirling colors and 3D holographic images. Cecilia Scully turns to you and points her gun at your head, and cocks the gun.) Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Darling I'm killed I'm in a puddle on the floor Waiting for you to return Oh what a thrill" Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Fascinations galore How you tease, how you leave me to burn It's so deadly my dear The power of having you near" (Cecilia Scully struts around the stage. She leans forward, on the edge of the stage, and gently puts her index finger under your chin, and gently teases you with it. She backflips, and whips out her gun.) Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Until the day.... Until the world falls away Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes See it in your eyes Tomorrow Never Dies" (Cecilia Scully fades into the background. Suddenly, a flash of brillant light streaks the room, and on the screen, a globe crashes and shatters into millions of pieces.) Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Darling you won It's no fun Martinis, girls and guns It's murder on our love affair It's you, that's your life" Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Every night, as you chase the morning light You're not the only spy out there It's so deadly my dear The power of wanting you near" Cecilia Scully drains her Vodka Martini! (Cecilia Scully whips out her gun, cocking it quickly. She shoots at a debonair projection of James, nailing him straight in the heart, as if trying to break it.) Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Until the day... Until the world falls away Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes See it in your eyes Tomorrow Never Dies" Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Until the day... Until the world falls away Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes See it in your eyes" Cecilia Scully sings sweetly: "Tomorrow Never Dies" (Cecilia Scully fades out slowly, into a pitch black darkness. A streak of light flashes and you see a dishelved and angry Cecilia Scully. She pulls out her gun and makes a shot. The bullet hits the light, and the Catina is enveloped in darkness.) Cecilia Scully bows. Ashley London opens the floor back up for general discussion. ****************************** Ashley London calls the assembly to order. After a moment the crowd quiets down. Ashley London exclaims, "Next up is Noodles Holland!" Noodles Holland stands up to address the assembly.

(Noodles Holland gets on stage wearing a blonde wig, a very tight dress, and sports a huge bust. Don't worry, It's not real!) (Noodles Holland lies down slowly as the music starts.)

Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "Been saving it all for you 'Cause only love can last" Noodles Holland is flirting with Celeste Catharow. Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "You're so fine And you're mine" Noodles Holland just tried to pull Celeste Catharow towards him!

Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "Like a virgin HEY! Touched for the very first time" Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "Like a virrrrrrgin When your heart beats Next to mine" Noodles Holland smiles and flashes the audience! Heh, you can see the coconuts in his bra. So he's an A cup. So sue him! Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "Like a virgin, ooh, ooh Like a virgin Feels so good inside" (Noodles Holland pulls the bottom of his dress up a bit to see a part of his upper thigh.) Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "When you hold me And your heart beats And you love me" Noodles Holland snuggles up to Celeste Catharow. Noodles Holland sings sweetly: "Ooh, baby Can't you hear my heart beat For the very first time?" Noodles Holland smiles because his heart is beating so loud that everyone in the bar can hear him. Noodles Holland smiles and all of a sudden TAKES OFF THE DRESS! Thank goodness he has shorts on under! The song fades out.... Noodles Holland smiles as he takes out one of the coconuts and slams it on the stage. Smoke fills the room, and when it clears, Noodles is back to his old self. Dang, he looked better as a girl Noodles Holland exclaims, "I told ya I'd blow ya away!" (Noodles Holland puts his finger to his lips and blows on it as if it were the barrell of a recently fired gun.)

Jennifer Plumley sings: "You look at me, and see the girl Who lives inside the golden world But don't believe That's all there is to see You'll never know the real me..." (Jennifer Plumley sighs softly, then stares off into the distance with a sad look on her face.) Jennifer Plumley sings: "She smiles through a thousand tears And harbours adolescent fears. She dreams of all That she can never be. She wades in insecurity And hides herself inside of me...." (Jennifer Plumley turns her gaze on every person in the room, and seems to beg them with her eyes.) Jennifer Plumley sings: "Don't say she takes it all for granted, I'm well aware of all I have. Don't think that I am disenchanted Please understand." Jennifer Plumley sings: "It seems as though I've always been Somebody outside looking in.
