ABSOLUTE POWER

BY FRANK ENCARNACAO

 

MARGUERITE: Nice shooting.

ROXTON: Thank you.

MARGUERITE: I meant, Malone.

 

MARGUERITE: What if he’s right?

ROXTON: The man’s delusional…and it seems to be catching.

 

DIRKON: On your knees before Rotar, woman.

VERONICA: I kneel before no-one, much less some piece of junk.

 

CHALLENGER: I think I’m beginning to understand.  Each mind has its own frequency, like a shortwave wireless.  It’s as if I’m a radio tuning everything in.

ROXTON: Just have a listen to yourself, Challenger.

 

VERONICA: You killed him with your hand.

CHALLENGER: No, with my thoughts.

 

CHALLENGER: Know this!  Now and forever, there are no other God’s before me!

 

MARGUERITE: Atlantis was destroyed, Challenger, and this maybe why.

CHALLENGER: They didn’t respect the power, it overwhelmed them.  I will be wiser.  I will not make the same mistakes.

ROXTON: No, you’ll make new ones.

 

CHALLENGER: You can be either disciple or enemy.  For your sake, choose wisely, my friend.

 

ROXTON: He’s out of control.

MARGUERITE: He’s still George Challenger.

ROXTON: Is he?

 

ROXTON: We’re going home.

CHALLENGER: You’re not going anywhere.

ROXTON: Maybe you’re not tuning me in right.  Check your dial.

 

ROXTON: You need to get down from that altar and take a cold shower.

 

CHALLENGER: She will live on in all of us.  A martyr.

MARGUERITE:  You’re insane.

 

CHALLENGER: I will find her parents, I will do that for her.  And maybe erect a grand temple in her memory.

ROXTON: She didn’t want a temple, she wanted to live!

 

CHALLENGER: Roxton, Marguerite, don’t desert me now.  I am in need of friends as well as worshippers.

ROXTON: What you need is a mirror to get a good hard look at what you’ve become.

 

CHALLENGER: I didn’t mean to kill her, it was an accident.

MARGUERITE: Only because you were aiming for Roxton!

 

MARGUERITE: There are some things even diamonds can’t buy.

 

SUMMERLEE: Look at you, you’re drunk with power.

CHALLENGER: I’m alive with the possibilities of the universe.

SUMMERLEE: A madman!

 

SUMMERLEE: He’s gone.

ROXTON: What do you mean he’s gone?  The man was just dead!

 

MARGUERITE: Seriously, how did you know about the slavers?

CHALLENGER: Same way I know you’d never sell out a friend.  Not even for the most perfect diamond in the world.
