(This part of the story is now told in “Forget About It” and “Pretzels” on Scambot 2. Here’s how the narrative originally played out in this song):

...Govin watches everything with great interest as he hovers a foot off the ground. He watches for 30 seconds, then meditates for 30 seconds, goes back and forth like that for a while. He begins putting thoughts together in his head to form the skeletal underpinning of the beginning of a seed of a plan.

GOVIN (proceeding stealthily on the periphery of the hullabaloo):

[Not sung, but played by lead guitar]

I will
Take two steps forward
And I will
Take two steps forward That’s four in total
That’s four in total
That’s four in total
I will
Keep my eye on that guy
I will
I will have a talk with God
Have a talk with God

GOD:

You know what to do
You know what to do
Fireworks

Govin flies across the sky pretty much like Tinkerbell on The Wonderful World Of Disney. The entire sky is then filled with a still frame from an animated graphic; the frame that appears in every episode of Beany And Cecil, announcing that the forthcoming entertainment treat is to be “A Bob Clampett Cartoon.”

Scambot, Ophunji, Wrangthorn, Kootch, The Quiet Children, Ami, Quaigo, the soldiers, and the seagulls all look up and see this, and the incongruity of the situation propels them into instant celebration. They all start in to dancing and a-singing together.

PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY:

Soon we will discover
The depth of what we got

Take some time
Ease your mind
Sure can help a lot

I feel like a greyhound
I feel like I’m free

Take your time
Ease your mind
Sure feels good to me

KOOTCH (watching Ami. Clearly longing for her. The fact that she has seen him at his worst is miserable for him. His celebratory zeal is so easily deflated and it goes flat again):

She doesn’t care
She doesn’t even know you’re
there

I’m on the dungeon floor
Ankle deep in gore

It’s not insanity
It’s my reality

I’ll be here
On the side
With pots and pans
Clanging

Scambot has been entirely broken of his compulsion to kill Campland Standish. How pointless would that be? Why do anything this dwid Ophunji wants him to do?

Scambot feels like himself for the first time in a while, and while he’s never been his own favorite person he enjoys the sensation, if only for the contrast it’s providing. SCAMBOT (riffing around, feeling his oats):

Some folks are born
Actually all folks are
We all were formed
From the same star
And we are sworn
To do right
By each other
Stand tight
With each other
Not throw stones
Or break each other’s bones
Break the chain instead
You break the chain instead

This is one big crowd scene
With fire and flame
You are one big lounge scene
And this ain’t a game

You must do right
By each other
Stand tight
With each other

Don’t break heads
Break the chain instead

Eventually the QC bust out acoustic guitars and the partying recedes to a mellow burble. It really feels for a minute like everyone might be getting along.
