STRANGE MAN: I wonder where that fish has gone.
STRANGE WOMAN: You did love it so. You looked after it like a son.
STRANGE MAN: And it went wherever I did go.
STRANGE WOMAN: Is it in the cupboard?
AUDIENCE: Yes! Yes! No!…
STRANGE WOMAN: Wouldn’t you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.
STRANGE MAN: And it went wherever I did go.
MAN IN AUDIENCE: It’s behind the sofa!
STRANGE WOMAN: Where can that fish be?
MAN IN AUDIENCE: Have you thought of the drawers in the bureau?!
RANDOM: Shh!
STRANGE WOMAN: It is a most elusive fish!
STRANGE MAN: And it went wherever I did go.
STRANGE WOMAN: Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
STRANGE MAN: A-fish, a-fish, a-fish, a-fishy, ooooh.
STRANGE WOMAN: Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
STRANGE MAN: That went wherever I did go.
MAN IN AUDIENCE: Look up his trunk!
MAN IN AUDIENCE: Yeah, it’s hidden in his trousers!

FISH #6: Very piscine.
FISH #5: Ha ha hah.

[pause]
FISH #2: They haven’t said much about the meaning of life so far, have they?
FISH #1: Well, it’s been building up to it.
FISH #4: Has it?
FISH #2: Has it?
FISH #3: Yeah, I expect they’ll get on to it now.
FISH #5: Personally, I very much doubt if they’re going to say anything about the
meaning of life at all.
FISH #6: Oh, come on. They’ve got to say something.
FISH #3: They’re bound to.
FISH #2: Yeah.
FISH #4: Yeah.
FISH #1: Yeah.
[pause]
FISH #3: What do you think the next bit will be, then?
FISH #1: Caption, I expect.
FISH #6: What? About the next stage of life, you mean? Oh, yeah. Here we go.
