MORE THAN HUMAN

BY JAMES THORPE

 

ROXTON: There's only one way off this plateau, Challenger…alive.

 

FACE TO FACE WITH A T-REX 

MARGUERITE: Nice kitty.

 

MARGUERITE: So, Roxton, just curious. Why did you risk your life for me with that dinosaur?

ROXTON: Hmmm, must have thought you were someone else.

 

SUMMERLEE: Solomon, you're saying you kill people…men…for sport?

SOLOMON: No, not sport. To survive. The winners are granted life so they can fight again.

ROXTON: And what happens to the losers?

SOLOMON: You're eating them.

 

TRIBUNE: I've been thinking about you. I detest spies.

VERONICA: Spies?

TRIBUNE: Unless they're on a spit, roasting slowly.

 

TRIBUNE: (to Marguerite) If I didn't know better, I'd swear your blood was as cold as mine.

 

AS MALONE PICKS THE LOCK OF HIS CHAINS

SUMMERLEE: How illuminating.

MALONE: Little trick I picked up in New York.

SUMMERLEE: Nothing like the education of a life well spent, that's what I always say.

MALONE: Well actually, the trick is, Professor, not getting caught.

 

TRIBUNE: You're human. Your uses are breeding and mining and the occassional hors d'eurve,

 

TRIBUNE: Compassion and sacrifice. Such nobility in a lower species…might almost be touching if it wasn't so pathetic.

 

MARGUERITE: (to Roxton) Anybody ever tell you, you got lousy timing?

 

ROXTON: Fight with me, not against me.

SOLOMON: Don't worry, I'll try to cut clean.

ROXTON: You're a pal.

 

TRIBUNE: Fight, human!

ROXTON: You may choose whether I live or die, but only I choose whether I kill.
