BIRTHRIGHT
BY
FRANK ENCARNACAO
VERONICA: You’ve a life to get back
to. You all do.
ROXTON: Some more than others.
SUMMERLEE: Why does the Christian God find
it necessary to create so many flying pests…that bite!
MARGUERITE: Don’t worry about me; Gunga Din can fend for herself.
ROXTON: First thing I do when I get home
is eat something I don’t have to kill.
VERONICA: You’d miss the excitement.
ROXTON: Veronica, if we do find a way off,
will you come with us?
VERONICA: This is my home, I have no
reason to leave.
ROXTON: Not even for Malone?
VERONICA: Ned already has someone?
ROXTON: Not like you, he doesn’t.
VERONICA: No. Me, I can take down a Raptor, climb a hundred foot tree or knife
a snake at twenty paces but I’d never know which fork to use.
ROXTON: Gladys isn’t your problem, she’s
Malone’s. If you care about him, tell
him, let him work it out.
ROXTON: Oh, Veronica…trust yourself…and
Malone.
MALONE: One day I’m going to strangle that
woman.
CHALLENGER: Take a number.
RAMESES: The pyramid’s architect. He gave his life so he could become one with
his creation.
CHALLENGER: He killed himself?
RAMESES: He was sacrificed.
MARGUERITE: Gotta love tradition.
MARGUERITE: Challenger, how do you plan to
dethrone him?
CHALLENGER: I don’t know.
MARGUERITE: Brilliant! Why didn’t we think of that?
MARGUERITE: Fine, you two want to go off
and get yourselves killed, have fun.
CHALLENGER: It’s a matter of honour.
MARGUERITE: What good is honour to you if
you’re too dead to enjoy it?
MALONE: Thanks for coming back to warn us.
MARGUERITE: You kidding? Had nothing to do with you.
CHALLENGER: Really?
MARGUERITE: I show up without the two of
you, what was I supposed to tell the other?
More trouble than it’s worth.
CHALLENGER: If it means anything, I’m
proud of you.
MARGUERITE: Thank you…it doesn’t.
MARGUERITE: Well, what are you waiting
for?
CHALLENGER: Ladies first.
MARGUERITE: Age before beauty.
MALONE: Well, technically I was born in
1895 so…
MARGUERITE: Don’t make me hurt you.
ROXTON: I guess that Pharaoh guy, well, he
was pretty sweet on you, huh?
MARGUERITE: You find something humorous in
that?
MARGUERITE: It may interest you to know
that some men appreciate the finer qualities in a woman.
ROXTON: Ah, do tell.
MARGUERITE: Well, a certain air of
distinction, a noble bearing of gentility, a sensuous passion smoldering
beneath a thin veil of civility.
ROXTON: I see.
MARGUERITE: Of course, it takes a special
man to appreciate these things.
ROXTON: Apparently. It’s just a damn shame it took a power mad,
homicidal maniac to bring out the best in you.
MARGUERITE: Why are you here?
ROXTON: I just wanted to say hello.
MARGUERITE: Consider it said. Anything else?
ROXTON: Yes. Welcome home.
