Synopsis for
Johnny Travis

Written by Marty Hammond

  In 1973, Johnny Travis returns from Vietnam with little skills except being a Master in hand to hand combat.Johnny has many secrets he keeps as veterans were treated so poorly. His greatest secret was illegal at this time, and that is his homosexuality. If the Army had of discovered this he would have been Court Martialed at the very least or shot in the depths of the jungle.
On returning to Australia, he takes up a job working on the docks which in itself is a very homophobic environment.He keeps to himself most of the time and ignores the sexist and homophobic language and banter. He doesn’t socialise much with his workmates, until one lunchtime when he again declines to go out drinking after work. Big Dave then asks; “So what are you a poofter mate?” To keep his secret safe he decides to go along as what harm could it do.
That night after a few hours drinking, one of the boys starts bragging about how he and his mates go out ‘poofter bashing.’ He winds up the rest of the crew to leave the the pub and go find some gays to bash. Johnny declines, only to be hounded again about being a ‘homo’ till again he relents.
They then head to a known gay club and start abusing the clientele, till the doorman moves them on. As they walk down the street, a gay couple are walking toward them to a barrage of abuse, which turns into an assault. A Police car passes by and says; “Just don’t kill ‘em okay boys”
Johnny stood back during the assault and again was teased for being a poofter lover. Again he relented to peer pressure and joined in, apologising as he laid in the boots.
When he got home, he threw up many times dealing with his guilt. He looks at himself in the mirror and swears to his soul that he will redeem this. He buys a wig, fake facial hair and some trendy new clothes. He now spends his evenings trawling the streets protecting and avenging other victims using his advanced fighting skills. He has now become the faceless hero of the gay community, yet classed as vile vigilante attacker by the main stream media.
He keeps his secret from his workmates, by creating a fake girlfriend story, as the legend grows within the underground community. He carries out his deeds till changes in law begin in 1975. But this only slowed him down as he keeps avenging crimes against anyone assaulting homosexuals. At the first Sydney gay Mardi Gras a float was specially made to adulate the person the press were calling “The Poofter Protector” He is still a hero to this day.

Opening Scene:
 
Johnny’s troop was the #2 Squadron of the SAS which was supporting the 5th Battalion in the jungles of Vietnam. They were dropped into the Binh Tuy province under the cover of darkness and were to sent to set up a clear passage for the ensuing troops to come through. It was a small tight knit group of six plus the Sergeant, a radio man and a medic.
As they moved through the jungle, all of a sudden they came under fire from the Viet Cong. Johnny dives to the ground. He looks across to his left and sees that one of his colleagues took a bullet to the head. He then turns to his right and sees his best friend Felix move forward through the bush. He screams out to him to ‘get down’. Felix replies; “I think I can see their bunker, I’ll try and get closer to hit it”
Johnny then hears a whistling through the air as a mortar shell lands at the feet of Felix. The next thing he hears is Felix screaming out his name as he is in severe pain. Johnny runs over to him to see everything from his waist down totally blown away. He grabs his head to console him as he calls out for a medic. Felix begins to ramble; “Johnny you do know you are the love of my life.”
“Shut up” says Johnny through gritted teeth.
“I have never had a lover that ever came close to you Johnny, never.” rambles Felix. “Shut the fuck up Felix, you may be dying but I still have to serve with these men.” replies Johnny angrily.
“Johnny, you know I love you, and you you are the only person in the world I can trust. Can I ask you a question?”
“Yes I love you too Felix, now shut up. The medic is coming.” replies Johnny.
“I’m glad to hear you love me Johnny, but that’s not my question. Is my dick still between my legs?” says Felix.
“You want to know if your dick is still there?” says Johnny with a bit of a chuckle. He then looks down to see that Felix has nothing from the waist down. “Sure it’s still there buddy, bigger and better than ever.”
“Thanks Johnny, you’ve always looked after me, now you have to look after the rest of us.”
Felix passes away as the medic arrives and sees Johnny cradling his head in his arms. He then rips off his dog tags and gives them to Johnny who clutches them tight. He then tells Johnny to get on with the job and he’ll deal with this.
After the battle, the ‘Sarg’ walks up behind Johnny and puts his arm around him and says; “How you holding up son, I know you and Bryant were close mates.” “I’m fine.” replies Johnny.
“I hope so son, you are one my best soldiers and I don’t need you going soft on me, okay. Now I heard Bryant rambling something to you just before he died. So what were his last words son?”
“He wanted to know if his dick was still there between his legs” chuckles Johnny.

“So what did you tell him, because from what I saw, he didn’t have any legs to have a dick to be swinging between.” says Sarg.
“Yeah I know,” replies Johnny. “So I lied to him on his death bed, I suppose I’m going to have to live with that.”
“Well I’ll tell you one thing Johnny, when I die, I want my dick to swinging between the legs of a blonde sheila with big tits. How about you Johnny?”
As the screen fades to black.
 
Scene Two:
 
People are working on the docks, emptying containers and unloading a ship as the siren howls to signal lunch time. Everybody downs tools and heads to their own little groups and sits down on milk crates or small oil drums and opens up their lunch boxes or paper bags with sandwiches in them. It’s Friday and the discussion is on what one another is doing for the weekend. Then Marvin speaks over everyone else and says; “Why don’t we all head down the pub for a few beers after work?”
Big Dave says; “I’m up for that, and I’m sure Bones, Strapper and Smitty will be in. What do say boys?” They all nod in agreeance.
Then Marvin turns to Ronnie and says; “What about you Ronnie? Will the missus let the dog off the chain?”
Ronnie replies in a stern voice: “Fuck you Martian, I’ll do what ever I want mate, and she’ll do whatever I tell her to do. At least I have a missus you fricken alien.”
Big Dave then looks straight at Johnny who was trying to avoid the conversation; “So what about you Johnny, you never come out for a drink with us, aren’t we good enough for an Army boy?”
Marvin then pipes in with; “Yeah, what’s wrong with ya? Are you some kind of poofter are ya?”
“No, I’m just not a big drinker that’s all.” replies Johnny.
Bones then chimes in; “You better not be a poofter mate, because you want to know what I do with poofters mate. I break them up and grind them into pigs swill.”
Big Dave steps in and says; “Alright Jimmy, we all know your reputation in the Union, but Johnny, come and have a beer, I’d love to here some of your war stories.”
Just as Johnny relents and accepts Big Dave’s offer, Mitch the foreman walks past with his secretary who is carrying some paperwork. Marvin yells out; “Hey Sandy, how about you come and lay your lips around my piece of beach,” as he waves his hands around his groin.
She quickly retorts; “Can you wait till after I have eaten, because that’s the only time I need a toothpick.”
The boys then all start to tease Marvin about having a little dick.
Mitch turns to Johnny and calls him into his office. While in there Mitch starts talking about how his son is one those weird queer guys, and how he makes dresses for men who get up on stage and sing. Johnny is looking a little perplexed and says; “Why are you telling me this?”
Mitch replies; “Well you’re a man of the world Johnny, and I thought you might understand. I just want you to know that you don’t have to go out with those boys. They are not good people. And I know you are a good person. Also I just want to say that if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you. Here’s my card and I have written my home number on the back for you. You can talk to me about anything, anything at all.”
Johnny shrugs his shoulders and says to Mitch that he doesn’t know what he is talking about and leaves the office.
 
Scene Three:
 
The boys hit the beers pretty hard as they argue with one another over the pool table. After a few hours of drinking and telling macho stories, Smitty starts telling a story about how he and a few of his mates saw to guys kissing in a park one day as they were driving past. His mate stopped the car and they got out and kicked the crap out them. He was so proud of himself and then Bones says; “So did you kill ‘em?”
“No we didn’t kill them, but they certainly felt pretty sore afterwards.” replied Smitty.
“I would have killed the faggot fuckers,” says bones in a real evil voice. “I would have stuck my gun up their poofter arses and blown their fucking guts out.” Big Dave taps Bones on the shoulder to tell him to calm down a little when Marvin says; “Why don’t we go bash some poofters tonight.”
Ronnie replies; “I’ll let you guys do that, because I have to get home.” The boys razz him up a bit as he leaves. Then Marvin starts winding everyone up again to go out and do some poofter bashing. Johnny says he is not interested, only to be ridiculed by the others. “So what are you Johnny? A fucking poofter lover.” says Strapper tauntingly. Again Johnny relents as they all jump into Bones’ car which has a bench front seat and they get three in the front and in the back. They drive to the nightclub district and park up. The six of them get out and Marvin says he knows the pub where the gays hangout. He gets some ribbing from the boys for knowing this information as they walk to the hotel.
When they arrive there is a big solid doorman there who declines them entry. The boys start hurling abuse at the patrons in the bar through the window, and start abusing the doorman for being a poofter lover. This is when Johnny and the doorman catch one another’s eye and Johnny recognises him to be his old sergeant in the SAS.
“Sarg” says Johnny. “Johnny Travis,” he replies as they shake hands.
“So you know this faggot lover do you Johnny?” teases Marvin.
“Shut up Martian,” retorts Johnny. “You guys go on and I’ll catch up with you.” Reluctantly the boys move down the street a little way as Johnny catches up with his sergeant.
“So what are you doing with those fuckwits?” asks Sarg.
“Oh I just work with them and they dragged me out for a drink,” he replies.
“But Johnny,” says Sarg. “Wouldn’t you rather be inside of here, than hurling abuse through the window.”
“I don’t know what you mean Sarg,” says Johnny.
“It’s alright mate, I knew about you and Felix the whole time. The only reason I never brought it up was because you were both bloody good soldiers, and I didn’t want to stuff that up,” Says Sarg.
Johnny then said that he would get the boys away from here as they shook hands and parted ways. When he caught up with the boys they started ribbing him about knowing a poofter lover doorman and no matter how he tried to defend his sergeant it was to no avail. Bones then quite angrily says; “No serviceman should be protecting fucking faggots. That prick deserves to die.”
Big Dave says “Settle down Bones, he served our country mate.”
“Doesn’t matter mate,” says Bones as they walk around the corner to the car. As they were about to get in, Marvin spotted two men holding hands walking down the street towards them. They quickly release their hands.
Marvin starts taunting the two men as the others begin to join in. Bones then walks up to one and punches him to the ground. Smitty and Strapper then start punching the other man till he also hits the pavement. Johnny and Big Dave stand back as Bones looks at Johnny and says; “So are you a faggot lover like your mate back there Johnny, do I need to give you a hiding like these poofters.”
Johnny reluctantly shakes his head and stands over one of the men and mouths the words sorry as he kicks him in the ribs. The boys cheer him on as he lays in the boots to the other guy.
A police car drives by and the officer stops and asks what is going on. Marvin looks at him and says; “They are just a couple of poo punching poofters mate.”
The officer replies; “Well I think they have had enough, I don’t want you killing them because I am not in the mood for that kind of paperwork. So time to head home boys.”
The police car then drives off as Big Dave gets the boys into the car and they drive off.
Bones drops off the boys at their homes and drives back to the gay club and pulls up outside. He gets out of the car and opens the boot. Sarg looks at him and asks him why is back here when Bones pulls out a sawn off shot gun and and shoots him twice in the chest and says; That’s for being a poofter loving prick.” He then jumps back in the car and drives off.
 
Scene Four:
 
Johnny is at home stricken with grief and a guilty conscience. He throws a power cord over the roof beam in his dilapidated apartment and attempts to hang himself but the roof beam comes crashing to the ground with him as he kicks the chair away.
He then goes to the bath room and washes his face and starts staring into the mirror. He is remembering his ex-lover Felix, when Felix’s face appears in the mirror telling him that his journey is not to die but to fix the problems that gay people face. In shock he splashes water over his face again to see his own reflection telling him to right the wrongs and not to be a part of the problem. Again he splashes water over his face and tells himself that he needs some fresh air.
As he is walking down the street, he sees a group of young lads slowly driving down the street with their windows down taunting a gay couple. He walks up and tells the boys to shut it, and move on. The boys then tell him that if he wants them to stop then he should make them stop. They then get out of the car and circle around him. One of the bigger boys pushes him up against the bonnet of the car and throws a punch. Johnny grabs a hold of the windscreen wiper and rips it off and proceeds to beat the boys with it till they are all rolling around the ground bleeding.
The two gay men just start praising him and thanking him and calling him their protector.
He arrives back home and walks straight to the bathroom and washes his face again and looks into the mirror. “Did I do the right thing?”
His reflection in the mirror tells him to ask Mitch.
He pulls the card out of his wallet and gives Mitch a call. He tells him that he has done something really bad and needs to talk to him and asks if he can come over. Mitch gives him the address and Johnny hangs up.
 
Scene Five:
 
Johnny arrives at Mitch’s house and begins telling him of the events of the night. Mitch reiterates that he shouldn’t have gone out with those boys. When Johnny tells him about the other four boys harassing the two men. Mitch then asks; ”Were they two of your kind as well?”
“What do you mean my kind?” asks Johnny.
“It’s alright son,” replies Mitch. “My boy is one those gays as well. His mother, my ex-wife is a church going woman and doesn’t understand, so that’s why he lives with me. His name is Brian, but he likes to be called Constantine, but I just call him Con.”
“So how did you know about me,” asks Johnny.
“I have met a lot of Con’s friends and I suppose I just get a feeling about these things,” says Mitch. “Con get out here”
He introduces Johnny to his son and then proceeds to tell him about the nights events. Mitch tries to explain what Con does when he interjects and says he is a Costume maker for Cabaret shows.
Con then tells Johnny that he is very proud of his actions tonight and told him that he will now consider him to be our Peoples Protector.
Johnny then demands that they must keep this secret and they agree. He then goes into Mitch’s bathroom and washes his face only to see his reflection tell him; “This is what you are meant to do.”
Scene Six:
On Monday morning the boys are all fired up about bashing the two gay men. They were cheering Johnny on for laying in the boots and asking if he was ready to come out again and do it all over. Johnny told them that the hangover stung him too badly and he would have to decline. Big Dave was sitting in his usual chair before work reading the daily newspaper. All of a sudden he let out sigh of shock and said; “Fuck me, Hey Johnny, you knew that bouncer on the door of the poofters club didn’t you?”
“Yeah he was my sergeant in the army,” replies Johnny.
“Well it looks like somebody shot him on Friday night and killed him. It says here there were no witnesses but it happened out front,”says Big Dave. “Not that any of those queer bastards inside would say anything as they are all frightened little fairies.”
Big Dave then looks across to Bones and says; “You wouldn’t know anything about this, would you mate?”
Bones just shook his head and said; “Nup, I’m just pissed that I didn’t get the chance to do it.”
“That’s my friend you’re talking about Bones,” scowls Johnny.
Bones replies; “Well if you want to be friends with a poofter lover then that’s your problem.”
Big Dave then looks to Marvin and says; “Check this out Martian, Some bloke beat up four guys with a window wiper because they were picking on some faggots. They are calling him the People Protector in the paper.”
“More like the “Poofter Protector,” laughs Marvin.
The horn goes for the start of the day and they all go to their separate work stations.
 
Scene Seven:
 
After work on Thursday night, Johnny heads to the shopping centre. He purchases an orange velour tracksuit, as he was keen to get into a new fitness regime. On the way home his car started to splutter so he pulled over and lifted the bonnet. The engine was covered in oil as he tried to fix his oil pump. While he was working away he saw three men harassing a mentally handicapped man who was wearing a dress. They were taunting and pushing him to the ground. Johnny saw this and because he was very frustrated with his car, he sighed and wiped his eyes before going over to help the strange man. When he got to the three men who were abusing the mentally disabled man, they all just stopped and looked in awe at this man in an orange tracksuit with a black mask covering his eyes. One of the men said to him; “What are you man, like the Green Lantern or something?”
Johnny looked bemused. Then the other man said; “No man, his mask is green, it’s Robin from Batman that has the black mask.”
Johnny is unaware of the oil on his face when the man in the dress says in a slightly retarded voice; “He is my Protector.”
Then the third man says; “Well lets see how good he is at protecting you when we have finished with him.”
The three of them all lunge toward Johnny, but he shrugs them all off and proceeds to give them a good hiding till they are all rolling around on the floor. He tells the other man to run home now. As he gets back to his car, he starts it up and looks in the rear view mirror and sees the oil across his eyes and face. He giggles to himself as he realises now what the three men were talking about. When he gets home, he stands in front of the mirror admiring his new costume of an orange velour tracksuit and face paint. He finally washes his face of the oil and looks in the mirror and says; “So this is what I have become.” Where his reflection replies; “This is it”
The next day when he arrives at work, Mitch calls him into his office and throws the paper down on his desk. The Headlines read; “The People Protector now has a Costume”
“Is that you?” asks Mitch. “You’re wearing a mask now.”
Johnny explains that it was oil from his car that was on his face and that it was just an orange tracksuit that he had bought that night. They both had a laugh at how the newspapers were sensationalising it and couldn’t wait to see what the nightly news had to say.
That night Mitch invited Johnny over to dinner, and they sat and watched the news together, and were amazed at the spin the news put on his story. They were calling him a vigilante. Politicians wanted him hung and quartered as it was an offense to be homosexual and that he had no right to beat up on honest citizens who were beating up on them.
About an hour later, the front door came flying open as Constantine came powering into the house. He saw Johnny and ran over and gave him a big hug. He was talking at a thousand miles an hour as he was trying to explain that he had spent all day making something for him.
Johnny was in a bit of shock when he says; “You seem to be a little extra gay today.” To which Mitch says; “He always is after he has been sewing all day.”
“Shut up Dad,” says Con as he bends down and pulls out of his bag this all in one satin suit which is orange and green and has the initials PP on the front of it. He put it up against Johnny and says; “Yummy, that will fit perfectly. And I also made you a mask, seeing I saw in the paper that you want to wear a mask now. And Wa La you are all set.”
Johnny looks over to Mitch, who just shrugs his shoulders and says; “That’s my boy.”
 
Scene Eight:

Johnny dresses in his costume and puts an overcoat and hat on as he walks to his car. This scene is then a sped up version of Johnny beating up the bad guys, who are terrorising not only gay men, but also ethnic minorities and religious minorities. We see headlines spinning with all negative content toward him as how dare he protect people that the bigots hate.
 
 
 
Scene Nine:
 
At work on Monday all the boys are chatting about the vigilante People Protector. They are saying things like; “Why would you want to stop someone bashing a poofter.”
“It’s not Adam and Steve.”
“Those Queer fuckers deserve a good thrashing.”
Then Marvin says; “He is even protecting those fucking gooks too. What do you think about that Johnny. You used to kill those fuckers.”
Johnny just ignored Marvin’s comments and shrugged his shoulders then walked away to the toilet block as the rest of them kept on their rant.
Big Dave follows him and as Johnny is washing his hands, Dave looks him in the eye and says; “There’s something going on with you Johnny, I don’t know what it is but I’ve got my eye on you.”
“No it’s nothing mate,” replies Johnny. “It’s just that my war is over mate, and I don’t like it when people bring it up.”
“No, that’s not it,” says Dave. “But I’m sure you’ll tell me when you are good and ready.”
As they head back towards the boys, Marvin again is revving the group up to go out this weekend and bash some more poofters. He is spruiking that if he saw this poofter protector he would give him a good kick in the nuts. “You wouldn’t be able to reach his nuts,” says Big Dave.
They all laugh, even Johnny as they head off to work.
 
Scene Ten:
 
It’s Saturday night and Johnny hears a knock at the door as he is just finishing up his dinner before heading out. He opens the door and it is Constantine. He asks him why he is there as he fears that something may have happened to Mitch.
“No, Dad’s fine,” says Con. “I just wanted to come around and wish you luck before you headed out tonight. I thought you just might like some support as Dad was telling me about the things that all the boys at work were saying.”
Johnny shrugs his shoulders and says; “That’s just who they are, a lot of it is just fake bravado, but they will get what is coming to them one day. I am sure of that.”
“Well that’s not really why I am here,” says Con as he walks toward Johnny. “I really want to give you this,” as he lays a kiss on Johnny’s lips. At first Johnny goes to pull away, but then embraces it and picks Con up and carries him to the bedroom for a passionate encounter.
Then we see Johnny standing front of the mirror as he is admiring the costume that Con has made for him. Constantine is lying in the bed naked with the sheets covering his midriff. He puts his overcoat on and picks up his hat then leans over the bed and gives Con a kiss. As he goes to walk out the door, Con says to him;
“You know the whole gay community is talking about you. You have become their hero. They have never been able to stand up for themselves, let alone have someone stand up for them. I am very proud of you Johnny. Very proud. Would you like me to be waiting here for you when you get back?”
Johnny smiles and says; “Yes, I would like that Constantine. I would like that very much.” As he turns and walks out the door.
 
Scene Eleven:
 
As Johnny is driving through the streets he sees the boys from the docks walking down the street heading toward the night club precinct. He pulls up around the corner as to not be seen. Within seconds he can hear Marvin’s voice as he starts to abuse a group of four gay men walking toward the club where Sarg was shot. They corral them into a small playground on the corner of the street as they taunt them. He sees that the abuse is getting more aggressive and is confronted with the dilemma of maybe outing himself or having to protect the poor men being abused.
The boys grab one of the men and throw him over a piece of play equipment and pin him down. The other three men run in fear.
Bones looks to Marvin and says: “Pull his pants down Martian.”
“What the fuck,” says Marvin. “I don’t want to be touching this faggots arse.”
Bones pulls a star picket out of the garden bed and says to Marvin in a really evil voice; “I said pull his fucking pants down, if this poo pushing fucker likes to have things shoved up his arse. Then I am going to make sure that this garden stake gets firmly enplanted. Right up to his fucking tonsils.”
This was the final straw for Johnny as he jumps out the car, puts on his mask and throws off his overcoat.
He runs over to the playground and slowly strolls into the middle of the group. They release their grip on the victim as he pulls his pants up and looks to Johnny and says; “Thank you Protector.”
Marvin is the first the first to speak when he says; “Oh look, he even has PP on his chest. So we finally meet the Poofter Protector.”
Smitty then chimes in with; “I thought it meant Poo Pusher.”
“What about Pink Princess,” says Strapper.
Then Bones, still holding the star picket says; “Sorry boys but after I’m finished with him it’ll be Poo Puncher as I punch his poo with this garden stake.”
“Really, is that the best you can come up with,” says Johnny. “ Let me tell you right now it stands for Pride Power, and you boys are now going to feel the Power of this man of Pride.”
The first man to go down is Marvin as one punch from Johnny knocks him clean unconscious. Bones then takes a swing at him with the star picket. Johnny grabs it, then lays a side kick that sends him flying into the play equipment. Smitty runs at him but he picks him up and throws him into the garden bed. Strapper looks to Dave and says; “Fuck this, I’m out of here,” as he starts running down the street. Smitty picks himself up out of the bushes and follows him.
Johnny looks Big Dave in the eye as Bones picks himself up to have another go. “So what about it Big Dave,” says Johnny
Bones looks at Big Dave in shock and says; “How does he know your name Dave? What are some sort of faggot lover too mate.”
Dave looks in the eyes of the vigilante and says; “Johnny, is that you?”
“Johnny who?“ say Bones.
“Johnny Travis from the Docks you idiot” says Big Dave.
Bones picks up a big stick off the ground and looks Johnny in the eye and says; “Well it looks like I am going to have to destroy you like I did that faggot loving sergeant of yours.”
“So it was you that shot Sarg,” says Johnny.
“Yes it was, and he went down like a bag of shit too. Just like poofter lovers should.” screamed Bones.
Big Dave looks at Johnny and says; “Do what you have to do mate, I am wiping my hands of the scum.”
Bones took a swing at Johnny, which he block using his Bo Staff skills. They traded blows for a couple of minutes till Johnny knocked the stick out of Bones hand. He pulls a knife from his boot and says to Johnny; “I am going to cut you up into little pieces and feed you to the fishes.”
Johnny’s eyes roll back as he says to Bones; “This is for Sergeant Dennis Rogers and everyone else you have hurt in your lifetime.”
With the star picket, he knocks the knife out of Bones hand and smacks him across the head. He spins around and collapses on the swing with his bum up in the air. He raises the star picket in the air and says; “This is what I call a Poo Punch,” as he swings the stake down and forces it into Bones’ arse so hard that it come out his mouth.
With his eyes glaring he looks at Big Dave and says; So whats it going to be Big Dave? You are the only one who knows who I am. So what’s it going to be?”
With fear in his eyes Dave replies; “Your secret is safe with me. I am actually very proud of what you have done. So what now?”
“We carry on like this never happened,” says Johnny. “So wake up that little Martian fucker after I’m gone. I’m sure the Painters and Dockers will sort out Bones. I’ll see you at work on Monday.”
Johnny runs back to his car and throws his overcoat on as Big Dave picks up Marvin by the scruff of the neck and slaps his face a couple of times to wake him up.
“What happened,” asks Marvin.
“Nothing happened my favourite little Martian, nothing at all,” says Big Dave. “It’s time to get you home.
 
 
 
 
 
Final Scene:
 
Johnny is with Constantine in the crowd at the Mardi Gras as they watch the floats go by. Constantine says to Johnny; You do know that all of this could never have happened if it wasn’t for you.”
Johnny just smiles as he gazes across the street and sees a vision of his two army buddies Sarg and Felix. Sarg gives him a big thumbs up as Felix points to his missing bottom half and says; “You told me I still had my dick you lying bastard. I still love you though Buddy. Well done and he’s cute too.”
Constantine shakes him out of his gaze and says; This is what I brought you here for. This is what the community thinks of you.”
A float comes toward them and it is full of men dressed in Johnny’s costume with the bums cut out. Johnny starts to laugh as the float gets closer he notices that a really big guy and a little fella are waving madly at him as it passes. He takes a closer look and realises it is Big Dave and Marvin the Martian. Both he and Constantine laugh really hard as Dave motions for them to get on the float. The four of them all start dancing as the song by Diana Ross comes on “The Best of my Love”
Johnny looks to his right and sees Sarg and Felix on the side of the road waving to him as they travel down the street dancing the night away.
