'The Dawn', from <i>Jazz Brakes, volume 5</i><ref>Released in 1994, Joe added it later</ref> | |||
1:00: Skylar ([[Tim Jerome]]) was diving in the Yucatan when he had a | |||
terrible toothache. The local dentist had gone out of business, so | |||
Skylar decided to become a pilot. | |||
3:10: An old man ([[Clark Gordon]]?) complains that the revolution has | |||
ruined everything; his wife, Eleanor ([[Barbara Sohmers]]?), agrees | |||
with him. Skylar joins the discussion, then another man ([[Arthur Miller]]). | |||
5:10: Eleanor tells Skylar that he has a passion for destruction, that | |||
he enjoys bombing people. | |||
5:40: They listen to a report of a bombing on the radio. A reporter | |||
([[Larry Block]]?) on the scene consults an expert ([[Arthur Miller]]) | |||
who explains that the natives spread pomegranate juice and | |||
see how far they can slide. Then he explains the native ceremony | |||
enacted in song and dance that celebrates a stranger who has the power | |||
of flight. The head concubine tries to get him to teach her the | |||
secret of flight. He doesn't. | |||
12:30: The old man begins talking, then babbles, to Skylar. He takes | |||
out a map; they discuss the weather, apparently planning a bombing | |||
raid. | |||
14:20: The radio reporter describes the aftermath of the attack on the | |||
village. The old man, Eleanor, and ([[Arthur Miller]]) reminisce | |||
about their old croquet games. The old man asks Skylar where he came | |||
from; Skylar avoids answering. | |||
17: Eleanor asks Skylar why he sleeps on the floor. They talk; | |||
Eleanor flirts. Eleanor observes that he's been here for months and | |||
done nothing but tinker with his airplane and go on bombing runs. | |||
Skylar asks why she isn't concerned with her larger interests. She | |||
tickles him; he breaks down and sobs. Eleanor tells him he's weak. | |||
21:20: The head concubine figures out that the flying man won't teach | |||
him to fly, so she curses him to fly all the time, never land. The | |||
king's wise men predict the flying man will return, lay them waste. | |||
24:10: Skylar tells of his mother bringing men home, telling her | |||
children to call them father. | |||
24:50: Skylar says that Marcia told him (as a child) to play a game: | |||
she lay down, told Skylar to do what he wanted, so Skylar buried her. | |||
25:30: Skylar tells of when he was bad so his mother punished him by | |||
throwing him against the wall. Skylar vowed never to be bad again. | |||
