Guy-  reading from a booklet titled]-“customs of all the races and people of all countries in the world in the year 1965”

Eid- this locator will tell us our exact location!

Oh! This is England and these people have not yet bridged the channel----- conversation is going on outside garth’s house.

Guy looks up England in the booklet- England was fully civilized in the year 1965!

Eid-ok!, we can speak with any bdy after we take this international language tablet!

Now we have to search for those areas whele they can pick us back to our time…give me the book

Guy-[defiantly]—“I can read!”

Eid- don’t be afraid , once they come to know of our situation they will make arrangements to find the area where we can be picked up”…they will pick us up with the help of” time ray” once they locate the area..

Guy-I know , I may be a mere man  but I am not afraid!

Eid- then pick up the satchel  and prepare to move!

Guy- “no!’

Eid-“ come!  I have taken out the details of this map”

Guy- ok.. member of superior women’s organization now have a look at the map closely!

The region where they can pick us up is half the distance of the world, thousands of mile from here.. How will we reach there? On foot? Oh! –exclaims eid when realization dawns on her!

Page-05

Guy -if we have to go halfway round the world we will have to enlist the help of some local person!

Eid-you are right!

Eid- there is a house over there! Let us wake them up!

Guy- intelligent woman! I recommend that you read this booklet first!

Because they may be in habit of  eating up strange women , take some precautions first!

Eid[reding from the booklet]- what is marriage ? I have never heard about this before!

Guy-probably it is an ancient custom where a woman selects a single man… dos not change him every year!

Eid- this is a very strange, I will have to go through this booklet!

Eid [reding from the booklet][amazed]- guy infact it was the man who used to select a woman!

Guy[smugly]- so we are in a time when man was more important!

Eid-[outside garth’s residence]-we have landed up in a very strange time zone!

This  is a romantic nuclear age. Man is superior than and controls the woman , there is ancient custom of marriage!

Guy- we will have to rsort to some romantic method to enlist the help of a local[[this conversation is going on while Garth sleeps blissfully unaware of the drama being played out outside his residence!]

Guy- the window is open!

Eid- right!

Remember this is a romantic time if there is aman inside this house I will easily take him under my control…and if there is a woman you try and win her affections to  best of your capacity!

Guy- men find it a little tough , but I will give it a try!

Page-06

Guy-eid !it is a man!

Eid—I will role play romance like in olden times! You stay downstairs while I make him agree to help us!

Garth wakes up in very strange circumstances….[with eid leaning on top of him holding his neck in her arms]

Eid tries to play a make believe romantic role  from 10thousand years past as she visualizes in her imagination.[holding garth in close embrace---“you are so attractive,I want to marry you!

Garth[amazed]- what did you say?

 Eid-You are so strong and handsome, but I don’t even know your name

Garth- but that hardly seems to bother you! Would you please leave?

Guy watching from outside garth’s open bedroom door [thinking]-he does not seem to desire her, but I do!

Eid[offended]-what did you say?

Garth-get lost!....not very good!...but you are not my type!

Eid- stop! You thankless man! How dare you say this to me?

Guy- this  does not seems to be the way of making friends here…

Page-07

Eid- you rude man! How dare you treat me like this? No man can survive  after insulting me like this, who are you?

“I am garth!”

Garth- it seems you had a lot to drink in some dance party late in the night

Eid who is being lifted up and carried out of the room   -- release me! Let me go!

Garth-let me first drench you in  cold water first!... garth [spotting guy by side of bedroom door]- o.k. so another reveller !

Guy- how are you doing?

Eid-  I am fine , do I take it that you are a neutral bystander  in this whole drama!

Guy- it was eid’s idea , why should  I interfere?

Garth goes to the bathroom, with guy following him!

Eid- stop him! Otherwise you will be punished!

Guy[thinking to himself]-  he seems to be doing to do the right thing!

Guy [to garth]- are you really going to soak her?

Gath- yes she deserves this!

These sour  women take advantage of their being women!

Garth has thrown eid in to the shower!

Eid shouts-“I hate you!”

Garth- “ look already there is some improvement!—I will throw you some clothes now!

Eid coming out of shower drenched to skin and furious-why did you not stop him?

Guy-because if we want to return to out time zone we will have to make friends with him.

Eid – you must have enjoyed yourself hugely!

Guy- I could not have stopped him , so I thought why not enjoy myself!

Page-08

Garth –eid strip off your wet clothes and wear these payjamas, they belong to my friend professor lumiere who has gone out for some weeks

eid[surprised] men are professors here?

Gath- what is so surprising about this?

 Guy- men use to run the world in these ancient times.

Eid- I forgot!

Garth- by the time your friend is ready you can have a drink with me

Guy- she is my boss not my friend!

Garth- now a days  many women are holding  top jobs efficiently

Guy- garth really we are not from the present time

Garth- so what is the difference between past and present?[thinking to himself]—“this couple seems to be old fashioned.

Eid has stripped off her wet clothes in the bathroom toweling herself[thinking]- guy will surely make some foolish mistake like all men… I will have to make haste..

Meanwhile guy is enjoying a drink—“ it is a delicious drink”

Garth- yes ! it is called scotch whiskey!

Garth- guy what secret things are hidden in your satchel?

Guy- not secret but personal postage letters for the year 2985!

 Eid is changing clothes in the bathroom[thinking to herself] I will have to keep in mind the fact that I have reached a time zone in the past  where animals like garth used to rule the earth! We will have to hide the truth from garth and cook up a story  and take his help in reaching  the designated area for pick up back to our time.

Meanwhile guy is under the influence of liquor…garth the truth is eid and I are from the future!

Garth is that so? Eid is furious with guy on learning that he has already revealed the truth to garth-“ you have told him against the rules that we are time couriers!”

Guy- that is the only way to enlist his help, we cannot fool him!

Garth-  look  I have had enough of this joke , I am going to turn in now..

Guy – [holding the satchel to garth – you will not believe me without a proof, this satchel can not be opened without the help of a time key

Garth- let me open it to have a look inside!

Garth tries to open the satchel with the help of a knife , acid and blow torch but that cloth is indestructible!

Eid- “you are mad to have given proof to that primitive man, he will never help us unless we threaten him!

He is a man from the dawn of civilization , it will not be difficult!

Guy – if you want to threaten him consider me out !
