THE OUTLAW

BY GUY MULLALLY

 

MARGUERITE: What are you looking at?

ROXTON: Oh, I was looking at you and thinking that we don’t do enough of this.

MARGUERITE: What, walk around prehistoric jungles for days on end looking for a way out?

ROXTON: Yeah, something like that.

 

MARGUERITE: We might as well make sure it actually leads somewhere.

ROXTON: Alone with you in the dark; that could lead somewhere.

 

ROXTON: When it gets red hot, you press it against the wound and you hold it there until it seals the blood vessels, you understand?

MARGUERITE: I can’t do it.

ROXTON: Come on, it’s going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.

 

MARGUERITE: I’m sorry.

ROXTON: You know, I really think you mean that.

 

ROXTON: You saved my life.

MARGUERITE: You promised to save me from the hangman, so…

ROXTON: Oh, is that the only reason?

MARGUERITE: No.

THEY KISS

ROXTON: Oh, I should get shot more often.

 

MARGUERITE: What exactly is normal to you?

GRAY: Towns, farms, villages much like this one.  Ignorant peasants going about their daily lives secure in the knowledge that people like me are watching over them, keeping order.

MARGUERITE: Normal sounds pretty horrible to me.

 

VERONICA: She was quite a woman.

ROXTON: That she was but let’s not forget who got us out of that little jam.

CHALLENGER: No, quite right.  Without Marguerite we might still be living back there.

MALONE: I think we owe you a debt of gratitude.

MARGUERITE: Never thought I’d live to hear it.

 

DINOSAURS ROAR IN THE DISTANCE

CHALLENGER: Sounds like everything’s back to normal.

MARGUERITE: Yes, well, normal sounds horrible to me.
