You know the drill. Descent down the tree of death, live action recreation of cult movies, the usual... January ended at the beginning of a grim scene at the Alexander home and this is where we pick up the action on 1st Feb. Each day corresponds to 22.5 seconds ACO and the time indicates the start of this period. I've inserted a couple of notes in brackets where the script doesn't detail the on screen action.

Day by Day script
ALEX:
(singing)
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.
He pushes a rubber ball into Mrs. Alexander's mouth and binds it with
sellotape.
ALEX:
(singing)
I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above.
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.
1/2/22 0:11:10
Let the stormy clouds chase...
ALEX:
(singing)
... everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain...
He puts ball in Mr. Alexander's mouth and sellotapes it.
ALEX:
(singing)
... I've a smile on my face.
I'll walk down the lane...
2/2/22 0:11:54
to a happy refrain.
I'm singing... just singin' in the rain.
He knocks down the book cases and moves to Mrs. Alexander being held by
Dim. Starts to repeat on song as he cuts slowly up each leg of her cat
suit,
3/2/22 0:12:17
until she is naked. This coincidences with the song finishing.
4/2/22 0:12:39
He turns to Mr. Alexander.
05/2/22 0:13:01
ALEX:
Viddy well, my little Brother. Viddy well.
The boys enter yawning..
06/2/22 0:13:24
ALEX (V.O.)
We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it having been
an evening of some small energy expenditure, O my brothers, so we got
rid of the auto and stopped off at the Korova for a nightcap.
07/02/22 0:13:46
Dim moves over to milk machine and speaks to the statue of the nude
girl.
DIM:
Hello Lucy, had a busy night?
Puts money in machine.
DIM:
We've been working hard too.
Takes glass.
DIM:
Pardon me. Luce.
He raises glass to breast, pulls red handle between her legs. Milk
spurts into glass.
Dim joins the others. Alex looks at a party of tourists.
08/02/22 0:14:08
ALEX (V.O.)
There was some sophistos from the TV studios around the corner,
laughing an govoreeting. The Devotchka was smecking away, and not
caring about the wicked world one bit. Then the disc on the stereo
twanged off and out, and in the short silence before the next one came
on, she suddenly came with a burst of singing,
09/02/22 0:14:31
and it was like for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar and I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise, athe shivers crawling up
10/02/22 0:14:53
like slow malenky lizards and then down again.
Because I knew what she sang. It was a bit from the glorious 9th, by
Ludwig van.
Dim makes a lip-trump followed by a dog howl, followed by two fingers
pronging twice in the air, followed by a clowny guffaw.
Alex brings his stick down smartly on Dim's legs.
DIM:
What did you do that for?
11/02/22 0:15:16
ALEX:
For being a bastard with no manners and not a dook of an idea how to
comport yourself publicwise, O my Brother.
DIM:
I don't like you should do what you done. And I'm not your brother no
more and wouldn't want to be.
ALEX:
Watch that...
12/02/22 0:15:38
Do watch that, O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou
dost wish.
DIM:
Yarbles, great bolshy yarblockos to you I'll meet you with chain, or
nozh or britva, any time, not having you aiming tolchocks at me
reasonless. It stands to reason, I won't have it.
13/02/22 0:16:00
ALEX:
A nozh scrap any time you say.
Dim weakens.
14/02/22 0:16:23
DIM:
Doobidoob... a bit tired maybe, everybody is. A long night for growing
malchicks... best not to say more. Bedways is rigthways now, so best we
go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right, right.
15/02/22 0:16:45
EXT Alex walking through streets
INT. ALEX'S FLATBLOCK - MAIN LOBBY ENTRANCE - NIGHT
Alex passes a mural in the hall. Nude men and women. Their massive
stylised bodies embellished and decorated by handy pencil and
ballpoint.
16/02/22 0:17:07
The elevator door is buckled.
INT. ALEX'S FLAT - NIGHT
17/02/22 0:17:30
Alex pees in toilet.
Alex goes into his room. Tosses his loot into a drawer, full of money,
wristwatches, cameras, etc.
18/02/22 0:17:52
Fifty small loudspeakers cover one wall.
He puts his pet boa constrictor on tree branch mounted on the wall,
above four Christ figures who have their arms intertwined like a chorus
line.
He puts a cassette into the tape player.
A heavy shockwave of sound - Beethoven's 9th.
19/02/22 0:18:14
ALEX (V.O.)
It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now to give it the
perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig van.
20/02/22 0:18:14
(Close up of Beethoven painting)
Music starts.
ALEX (V.O.)
Then, brothers, it came. O bliss, bliss and heaven, oh it was
gorgeousness and georgeosity made flesh. The trombones crunched redgold
under my bed,
21/02/22 0:18:59
(Naked woman painting on wall, Snake on branch, Lewd Christ statues montage)
and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise, silver-
flamed and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out
again, crunched like candy thunder.
22/02/22 0:19:21
(Christ montage continues. Alex masturbating as VO continues)
It was like a bird of rarest spun
heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a space ship,
23/02/22 0:19:44
gravity all
nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures. There were
veeks and ptitsas laying on the ground screaming for mercy and I was
smecking all over my rot and grinding my boot into their tortured
litsos and there were naked devotchkas ripped and creeching against
walls and I plunging like a shlaga into them.
(montage showing Alex's fantasies includes woman being hanged, Alex as a vampire with blood dripping from fangs and people being crushed by falling rocks)
24/2/22 0:20:06

25/02/22 0:20:28
ALEX:
Bit of pain in the gulliver, Mum. Leave us be and I'll try to sleep it
off... then I'll be as right as dodgers for this after.
EM:
You've not been to school all week, son.
ALEX:
I've got to rest, Mum... got to get fit, otherwise I'm liable to miss a
lot more school.
26/02/22 0:20:51

Eeee... I'll put your breakfast in the oven. I've got to be off myself
now.
ALEX:
Alright, Mum... have a nice day at the factory.

Pee sitting at breakfast table.

EM:
He's not feeling too good again this morning, Dad.
PEE:
Yes, I heard. D'you know what time he got in last night?
EM:
No I don't know, luv, I'd taken my sleepers.
27/2/22 0:21:13
PEE:
I wonder where exactly is it he goes to work of evenings.

Well, like he says, it's mostly odd things he does, helping like...
here and there, as it might be.

DELTOID:
Ah, Alex boy, awake at last, yes? I met your mother on the way to work,
yes? She gave me the key. She said something about a pain somewhere...
hence not at school , yes?
