CHARACTERS

In Mr and Mrs Bird's living room

Green You say you actually saw a spaceship and it was sitting in your neighbour's garden. Is that right?

Mr Bird Yes. We were watching television and suddenly we saw a red light coming in through the window.

Brown And what did the spaceship do next?

Mrs Bird It floated in the air for a moment, over the garden – isn't that right, John?

Mr Bird Yes, it did, dear.

Mrs Bird And then it came down in our neighbour's garden. There. Right in front of the garage!

Green OK. So the spaceship parked in front of the garage.

Mr Bird Yes, it did. We thought we were dreaming! We tried to telephone the police, but our phone had stopped working.

Green Curious ...

Brown [cynically] Very curious. So, what did this spaceship look like?

Mrs Bird It was dark green with red lights. It didn't have any windows. It wasn't enormous. I'd say just a little bigger than a caravan.

Green [taking notes] OK ... a caravan with no windows.

Brown So after the spaceship had landed, what happened next?

Mr Bird A figure appeared. We didn't see a door, but we saw a figure. Like a person, but purple with blue legs. And it had long, blue hair and a silver headband or something.

Green Purple and blue? Hmm. Long, blue hair headband ... and are you completely sure?

Mrs Bird We both saw it, officer. As clear as day.

Brown What did this ... figure do?

Mrs Bird It rang on our neighbour's front door – and then it pushed it open, and walked in!

Mr Bird We haven't seen our neighbour since then!

Mrs Bird We've seen pizzas arrive, but we haven't seen our neighbour for two days.

Green You saw this two days ago and you've only just called us today?

Mr Bird Our phone wasn't working until today and we don't go out very often.

Brown Uhuh. Fine. Thank you.

hair, amazing eyes. I haven't learnt her language yet, but [sound of doorbell].

Green Oh! The door. Speak to you later, yeah?

Nick Todd?

Green Yes?

Green I'm Special Agent Green. And this is Special Agent Brown. We're from Hatton Valley Police – Special Investigations Department.

Nick [alarmed] Really? How can I help?

Brown We have reason to believe that there was a strange vehicle parked in front of your garage two days ago.

Nick [surprised] Was there?

Green [referring to his notes] We understand that it was dark green, with red lights.

Brown And ... um ... an unusual person came out of the vehicle. Do you know anything about this incident?

Nick A strange person and a dark green vehicle? Two days ago? Um ...

Brown That's right.

Nick Ah! They brought my Christmas tree two days ago. On the roof of a van. It's a big tree, so it covered the van!

Green [surprised] On the roof ... of course! And was the person who brought the tree wearing purple? Did they have long, blue hair?

Nick [laughs loudly] It's OK. It was a girl! She did have long hair, yes – and she was wearing a large, purple anorak.

Brown And a silver headband?

Nick Mm, well, I think she was listening to an MP3 player. With big headphones.

Brown Well, thank you very much for your help. Sorry to have taken up your time.

Nick Not at all. No problem. Bye now!

Brown [sighs] Another case of two old people who read too much science fiction and need new glasses!

Green Yes. Come on. It's cold out here! [walking away]

Nick [in a hushed whisper] You can come out now! They've gone! What were we talking about?

Alien Dru varan ... my ... mm ... travels ...

Nick Oh yes! Have you been on Earth before? What do you eat?

Two minutes later, next door

Nick [speaking on the phone in his hall] ... and she's just wonderful! She's got beautiful
