PARADISE FOUND

BY MORRIE RUVINSKY

ROXTON: Without Veronica, we all would've been dead a long time ago and what we owe her has nothing to do with money.

SUMMERLEE: Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting?

ROXTON: Nothing important.

SUMMERLEE: Oh, really? You know, the way you two bicker, anyone would think you were married.

SUMMERLEE: I'm utterly speechless.

CHALLENGER: In which case, this must be paradise.

MARGUERITE: You really don't trust anyone, do you?

ROXTON: Only you, my dear, only you.

CHALLENGER: Where's Roxton?

MARGUERITE: Who gives a damn. 

SUMMERLEE: Marguerite!  Don't do it! Don't go! How could she?

ROXTON: Nature of the beast.

MARGUERITE: To hell with paradise.

ROXTON: Look, uh, about the other night…

MARGUERITE: It must have been the fruit. Clearly, I was out of my head. You and me…that's a disaster waiting to happen.
