I'm fed up with studying and exams.
I've a good mind to give up everything,
become a drop-out and join a hippie group somewhere.
That's not a bad idea.
I'm sick of work myself.
We could forget about the cost of living, the price of houses,
keeping up with the neighbours and all the rest of it.
Shall we go and live on the beach at St. Ives?
Can't we look for a warmer climate?
Anyway I'd like to go further away than that.
Well, it does get a bit cold and damp in St. Ives.
Let's hitch-hike across Europe
and find some lovely lonely island in the farthest corner of the Mediterranean.
We can start our own hippie colony there.
Great idea!
We'll create a society with no exams
and with no competitions to see who can make the most money
and build the most luxurious house
and drive around in the most expensive car.
Yes... We'll start a new competition to see who can live with the least money,
the fewest possessions and the smallest house.
You can't get away from competitions of some sort, can you, John?
