The Arrest

(STEPHEN WARD is being arrested "on charges of procuring and living on the earnings of prostitution."

He is led towards the entrance to the Old Bailey, where a baying crowd is gathered, waiting for the trial to begin.)

[CROWD]
You disgusting pervert!
Stephen Ward, filthy scum
See what happens to you
When you're in the nick

What an evil bastard!
You're as bent as they come
You'll be going down for years
You sad old prick!

(The following sections, sung by different parts of the crowd, are sung simultaneously.)

[CROWD 1]

Prime Minister expected to resign

Now the Tory Party quakes
He's a pimp, a bloody pimp
He's a pimp, a bloody pimp

Innocent my arse, is he innocent my arse
He's a sex-mad dog

(WARD disappears, and the crowd, bunched up on the pavement, start yelling and jeering at CHRISTINE, arriving in her mustard-colored suit, cape and high-heeled shoes.)

[CROWD]
Here comes Christine Keeler
Drops her drawers for the rich
All you need's a fiver
For a first-class shag!

Here comes Christine Keeler
What a tart! What a bitch!
Hanging's too good for you
You disgusting slag!

(CHRISTINE manages to get through, pale and shaken; she's followed by MANDY in a short, grey sleeveless dress and a hat shaped like rose petals. She receives the attention of the crowd with a good deal more aplomb than CHRISTINE.)

[CROWD]
Mandy
It's little Mandy
You'd make a bishop randy
Bet she's up to all kinds of malarkey
'Least she never did it with a darkie
