The High-T Website synopsis

A voice like a bell

T-Shirt (singing): Bam, bam, bam, ba-do-bop-do-do. Yeah, baby, yeah.
T-Bag: Will you shut up?
T-Shirt: Do-do-do. Huh?
T-Bag: What's the hold up with the tea back there?
T-Shirt: No hold up. Just coming. Bam, bam, bam, ba-do-bop-do-do. Yeah, baby, yeah.
T-Bag: Is it necessary to have that tuneless dirge buzzing in my ear morning, noon and night. It's driving me round the twist.
T-Shirt: Do the twist baby, do-do-do-do-do-do.
T-Bag: I'll do-do you if I don't have less of that cheek, ooh my head. Where's the tea?
T-Shirt: There.
T-Bag: Ah, thank the stars. (She starts to drink the tea) Manna.
T-Shirt: How's your headache now?
T-Bag: A wee bit better, no thanks to you and that tuneless foghorn you call a voice.
T-Shirt: What do you mean? I've got a good voice.
T-Bag: Good for curdling milk.
T-Shirt: That's rich coming from you.
T-Bag: What's that supposed to mean?
T-Shirt: Oh, nothing your Majesty, everyone knows you've got a voice like a bell.
T-Bag: Thank you.
T-Shirt: Yeah, people hear it and run like the clappers (he laughs and runs off).
T-Bag: Yes you better run before I ring your neck. Oh that boy'll be the death of me.

A good double act

T-Bag: Did you hear that T-Shirt?
T-Shirt: No, what?
T-Bag: I wish you'd pay attention boy. The next silver spoon is on some ridiculous little statue. We've got to get our hands on it.
T-Shirt: How will we do that?
T-Bag: We'll just have to win it, that's all.
T-Shirt: What do you mean, win it?
T-Bag: Win it, it's a prize, we'll have to win it.
T-Shirt: By doing what?
T-Bag: Entering some ludicrous song contest and scooping the award.
T-Shirt: (He laughs) That sounds like a laugh.
T-Bag: Laugh, this is serious business boy. I've got to get that spoon.
T-Shirt: We'll be a good double act, you and me, Shirt and Bag, I can see it now.
T-Bag: Double act? You must be joking! I'm going into this on my own. I'm out to win, do you hear me T-Shirt, Tallulah Bag is out to win.

Thomas Shirt Superstar

T-Shirt: What is this all about? Thomas Shirt Superstar.
T-Bag: Isn't it obvious? When that idiot listens to the tape he'll think it's you who's singing.
T-Shirt: But it's not me.
T-Bag: No but I've told him it is.
T-Shirt: It's Ricky Romero singing.
T-Bag: Yes but he doesn't know that.
T-Shirt: Ricky Romero?
T-Bag: Saul Wright.
T-Shirt: Ah I get it. When Saul Wright listens to the tape, he'll think it's me who's singing.
T-Bag: Glory be, it's sunk in.
T-Shirt: So then what?
T-Bag: Then, bowled over by the tape, he'll have you on the show and all you'll have to do is win the award and the spoon will be mine.
T-Shirt: Just a minute, does this mean I've to sing on the show?
T-Bag: No, all you have to do is mime to the tape. Get it?
T-Shirt: Oh, got it.
T-Bag: Oh, good. We'll give him fifteen minutes, then get down there and keep in with him.

You're Rip Shirt

Saul Wright (on phone): What do you mean he's not in the phonebook? I've got to find that kid, try his kooky agent, Tallulah Bag, or whatever her name is. I want Thomas Shirt on my show tonight, is that clear? Now get me Thomas Shirt.
(T-Shirt appears).
T-Shirt: Howdy-doodie.
Saul Wright: Urh, you! I've been turning the town upside down looking for you.
T-Shirt: Well, here I am.
Saul Wright: Yeah, just in time too. That tape of yours is a knockout kid, you're the greatest.
T-Shirt: I suppose so.
Saul Wright: (Laughs) I suppose. You don't have to be modest with me kid. I know talent when it hits me and that tape hit me right between the eyes. It's all fixed, you're on tonight's show.
T-Shirt: Really? Great.
Saul Wright: And if you don't walk away with the trophy, then I don't know nothing from nothing.
T-Shirt: Brilliant.
Saul Wright: OK, now let's get moving, now you're a gem of a kid but there are some rough edges that need smoothing out.
T-Shirt: Eh?
Saul Wright: Like the name for example, Thomas Shirt. That's no good, it ain't hip, the kids won't go for it. What we need is something rough, something tough, something that'll fit in with your image as a rebel, a tearaway. Thomas Tearaway. No, Tearaway Shirt, no. Torn Shirt, Torn Shirt, that's not bad. Got it, what do you think of this Kid? Rip Shirt.
T-Shirt: Rip?
Saul Wright: That's it, you're Rip Shirt. Hey what a gimmick. Kids all over America will be wanting to buy Rip Shirt. Think of the merchandising possibilities. Hey, now we've fixed the name kid let's go fix the clothes, come on.
