Disclaimer: I don't own The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
A/N: I will admit, episode 2 isn't too exciting. It's mostly just random stuff regarding 1960s-70s music. The point is that the girls are bonding and learning to understand each other.
(Magenta's room. Both girls sit on the floor, surrounded by CDs [I know that's historically inaccurate, but I've got all the right CDs already].)
Columbia: This here is the Velvet Underground's debut album.
Magenta: What's 'Nico'?
Columbia: A singer they collaborated with.
Magenta: Really? Sounds like the name of an illness.
Columbia: No it doesn't.
(Magenta takes the CD case and begins to inspect it)
Magenta: What does a banana have to do with music? Is it some sort of sexual symbolism? I studied the writings of Dr. Freud, you know, so I know a lot about the dirty minds of earth men.
Columbia: I never really paid attention to the banana, but you're probably right…
Magenta: I've been trained to inspect or interrogate foreign things I encounter. By now it's automatic.
Columbia: That's nice...
Magenta: Not really. I just spent far too much time analyzing a drawing of a banana.
Columbia: Moving on…
Magenta: To what?
Columbia: Uh, the Beatles.
Magenta: They are no more insects than Nico was a disease, I'm sure.
Columbia: They're four adorable guys from Liverpool.
Magenta: England?
Columbia: Probably. I'm not the best at geography. Anyway, the Beatles are awesome! Everyone loves them! Of course, they did break up about four years ago…
Magenta: What are the names of these… Beatles?
Columbia: John Lennon and Paul McCartney and George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
Magenta: Oh. So this was the 'Ringo, a star' you previously spoke of?
Columbia: Yeah.
Magenta: Fascinating.
Columbia: Is it? (Pause) Around here everybody knows the Beatles. It's real funny having to explain it…
(Riff Raff is standing at the door)
Riff: What's being explained?
Magenta: The strange music that's popular here.
Riff: (sarcastically) Sounds delightful.
Columbia: (missing the sarcasm) it's really great, the stuff I'm showing her.
Magenta: Some of it honestly is good, my darling.
Riff: Well, you can tell me about it later. I have more important things to be doing.
(He leaves)
Columbia: What's his problem?
Please Review!
