Yo y John

Mi diálogo con John Lennon en Central Park

Fragmento de "The blop!" Episode 1, season 2 "Season's Greetings" por Rojo Tomate.

EXT. STRAEBERRY FIELDS - CENTRAL PARK - ATARDECER

Germán enciende una vela y la coloca sobre el mosaico que reza "IMAGINE".

GERMÁN

Y bueh, John. 'Ca toy. Finalmente.

Una voz de Liverpool suena en el ambiente.

LENNON

Hello, Cabe.

GERMÁN

John, is that you?

LENNON

It sure isn't Father Christmas.

GERMÁN

Are we on Candid Camera?

LENNON

No, you dumb fuck!

GERMÁN

John, it is you!

LENNON

Indeed.

GERMÁN

So, how've you been?

LENNON

Dead. Mostly. Dead, dead, dead. Dead as a doornail.

GERMÁN

Of course. Dumb question. Are you in heaven?

LENNON

If heaven is a having a few pints with Georgie Best, far from Yoko Ono, guess this must be heaven, then. What do you want?

GERMÁN

Me? Nothing.

LENNON

Aw, c'mmon! It's 22 degrees Farenheit, 12, with the windchill factor, bloke. You didn't come to freeze your balls out here just to light me a bloody candle!

GERMÁN

Well.

LENNON

Out with it!

GERMÁN

What's it all about, Johnny?

LENNON

I'm a ghost, not an oracle.

GERMÁN

You told me to ask you.

LENNON

It's like this. You are born, you grow old, you die. In between you get to meet interesting people, fall in love, perhaps make improved copies of yourself and if you are lucky, you get to go to heaven and talk to ballbreakers like yourself about the meaning of life.

GERMÁN

I'm serious.

LENNON

So am I. Go, live. Don't waste candles on the dead. Don't keep secrets. Fall in love, drink and be merry. Life is a blessing and it goes out like so.

Y una ráfaga de viento helado apaga la vela. Silencio. Germán se da media vuelta y se aleja.

LENNON

It's awfully rude not to say goodbye.

GERMÁN

Oh. You are still here. I thought you said your final word.

LENNON

I was being dramatic. Now we say our goodbyes.

GERMÁN

Goodbye.

LENNON

Take care. Tell Adru to move on. Tell your brother to apologize to Running for what he is about to do. And don’t spend 800 pesos on those horrible sunglasses, go to Orchard street for knock offs. John Steed knows the way.

GERMÁN

Ok.

LENNON

And tell people to stop listening to my last album with Yoko. It's rubbish. Bye. I'm melting...I'm melting...

Y silencio.

GERMÁN

Smartass.
