Second Fish: Makes you think doesnt it?
Fourth Fish: I mean... whats it all about?
Fifth Fish: Beats me.
Why are we here, what is life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well tonight were going to sort it all out,
For tonight its the Meaning of Life.
Whats the point of all these hoax?
Is it the chicken and egg time, are we all just yolks?
Or perhaps, were just one of Gods little jokes,
Well ca cest the Meaning of Life.
Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While were searching for something to say
Or are we just simple spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA?
What is life? What is our fate?
Is there Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving or is it too late?
Well tonight heres the Meaning of Life.
For millions this life is a sad vale of tears
Sitting round with really nothing to say
While scientists say were just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.
So just why, why are we here?
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
Well ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear,
For this is the Meaning of Life - cest le sens de la vie -
This is the Meaning of Life.

-------------------
PART I
THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH
[Hospital corridor. A mother-to-be is being wheeled very fast down
the corridor on a trolley, which crashes through several sets of
doors. A nurse with her slips into a consultants room, where one
doctor is throwing beer mats through the crooked arm of another.]
First Doctor: One thousand and eight!
Nurse: Mrs Moores contractions are more frequent, doctor.
First Doctor: Good. Take her into the foetus-frightening room.
Nurse: Right.
[They pass through the delivery room.]
First Doctor: Bit bare in here today. isnt it?
Second Doctor: Yeees.
First Doctor: More apparatus please, nurse.
Nurse: Yes doctor.
First Doctor: Yes, the EEG, the BP monitor and the AVV, please.
Second Doctor: And get the machine that goes Ping!
First Doctor: And get the most expensive machines in case the
administrator comes.
[Apparatus starts pouring into the room. The mother is
lost behind various bits of equipment.]
First Doctor: Thats better, thats much better.
Second Doctor: Yeeees. More like it.
First Doctor: Still something missing, though. [They think hard for
a few moments.]
First and Second Doctors: Patient?
Second Doctor: Wheres the patient?
First Doctor: Anyone seen the patient?
Second Doctor: Patient!
Nurse: Ah, here she is.
First Doctor: Bring her round.
Second Doctor: Mind the machine!
First Doctor: Come along!
Second Doctor: Jump up there. Hup!
First Doctor: Hallo! Now, dont you worry.
Second Doctor: Well soon have you cured.
First Doctor: Leave it all to us, youll never know what hit you.
First and Second Doctors: Goodbye, goodbye! Drips up! Injections.
Second Doctor: Can I put the tube in the babys head?
First Doctor: Only if I can do the epesiotomy.
Second Doctor: Okay.
First Doctor: Now, legs up.
[The legs are put in the stirrups, while the Doctors open
the doors opposite.]
First and Second Doctors: Come on. Come on, all of you. Thats it,
jolly good. Come on. Come on. Spread round there.
[A small horde enters, largely medical but with two
Japanese with cameras and video equipment. The first
doctor bumps into a man.]
First Doctor: Who are you?
Man: Im the husband.
First Doctor: Im sorry. only people involved are allowed in here.
[The husband leaves.]
Mrs Moore: What do I do?
Second Doctor: Yes?
Mrs Moore: Whats that for?
[She points to a machine.]
First Doctor: Thats the machine that goes Ping!
[It goes Ping.]
First Doctor: You see. It means that your baby is still alive.
Second Doctor: And thats the most expensive machine in the whole
hospital.
First Doctor: Yes, it cost over three quarters of a million pounds.
Second Doctor: Arent you lucky!
Nurse: The administrators here, doctor.
First Doctor: Switch everything on!
[They do so. Everything flashes and beeps and thuds.
Enter the administrator...]
Administrator: Morning, gentlemen.
First and Second Doctors: Morning Mr Pycroft.
Administrator: Very impressive. What are you doing this morning?
First Doctor: Its a birth.
Administrator: And what sort of thing is that?

tummy.
