    (Verse one is played under dialogue)

    Rastus and Ruth

    ANNOUNCER ON RADIO: Number one this week, Roz Nathan with "Flame".



    RUTH: There you go Rastus. It's Rosalind on the radio. I can't wait to see Ray's face.
    RASTUS: Yeah, well I can't wait to see Rosalind's fuckin' face. Of course, I won't, will I? Because it's you, isn't it, eh? You! You were Rosalind, that picture was of you. You dirty cow. You couldn't have been older than, what, fourteen? No wonder Ray started writing to you.

    RUTH: How did you find out? Oh, of course, the witch's teats. Me and a couple of girls at school took it, we were about twelve. Ray believes Rosalind's uncle Charlie took it ... by force.

    RASTUS: I knew you were smart Ruth, but not that smart.

    RUTH: It worked anyway, his old records are selling like mad.

    RASTUS: So, uh, he write wrote your song, then?

    RUTH: That would be telling.




    (V1) You shone like a light to follow
    Knowing I would
    You graced me with a precious gift
    That no one else could
    Touched by your presence I surrender
    You gave me a lead and I was a follower
    A quest to succeed, I am a discoverer

    Flame! You set me on fire
    Nothing can take me any higher
    I'm fueled on emotion and full of desire
    Flame! Show me the way

    (Guitar solo)

    You gave me a lead and I was a follower
    A quest to succeed, I am a discoverer
    Oh! hold on the flame and feel the power

    Flame! You set me on fire
    Nothing can take me any higher
    I'm fueled on emotion and full of desire
    Flame!

    Rastus' place

    RUTH: I'm not gonna turn my back on Rosalind now. You manipulated her! Careful what you say, I'll print it.

    RAY: I don't give a smorgasboard about that load of old bollocks you churn out.

    RASTUS: Now, now, Ray. Don't get introspective. We've got the headlines, we're back in calculator country!

    RAY: I helped her deal with her problem!

    RUTH: She doesn't have a problem. Do you?

    RAY: She knows I do. If she were here now, we could ask her, couldn't we Rastus?

    RASTUS: Well, we could, yeah, if she was here.

    RAY: Are you saying nothing I wrote helped her?

    RUTH: No, you just helped her become a fucking star.
