PRODIGAL FATHER

BY DAVID TYNAN

MALONE: Salt! We drag all that way to trade and all we end up with is a couple of bags of salt.

ROXTON: It’s worth its weight in gold, Malone, unless you know a better way to preserve our food?

MARGUERITE: And actually I thought we did pretty well.

MALONE: You didn’t lose the shirt off your back.

ROXTON: Pity. I wonder what it would take for that?

MARGUERITE: More than you could afford.

MARGUERITE: Large birds, how fascinating.

ROXTON: It’s not the birds, it’s what they’re waiting for.

MARGUERITE: Which is?

ROXTON: Something to die.

MALONE: If we don’t get some water into this guy soon, he’s not going to make it.

MARGUERITE: Neither will we if that T-Rex catches up with us.

MALONE: You’re all heart.

MALONE: A little soap and water and a shave, the guy would look half civilised.

MARGUERITE: With soap, water and shave and so would you and Roxton. On the surface at least.

ROXTON: Sometimes life can deal you a good hand for a change.

MARGUERITE: I wish it’d deal us a way off this plateau.

ROXTON: Tired of my company already?

MARGUERITE: A man as fascinating as you? Never.

MARGUERITE: You’re always so reassuring, Roxton. How do you sleep at night?

ROXTON: Oh, like a baby. You should watch me sometime.

MARGUERITE: He said he’d be back soon, he’s been gone over two hours.

MALONE: Well, he’ll be flattered to hear you’re so concerned.

MARGUERITE: I’ll deny every word.

ROXTON: Are you sure it’s tight enough? I think some blood is still reaching my hands.

ROXTON: He was about to be eaten alive.

KARTAS: There are worse things.

ROXTON: Alright you bastard, meet the Marquis of Queensbury.

MALONE: Where the hell have you been all day while I was getting dragged around in the jungle?

ROXTON: Oh, just hanging around.

ROXTON: Friends…can’t reason with them, can’t shoot them.

SUMMERLEE: Could I have my gun back please?

MALONE: Why?

SUMMERLEE: So I can kill you.
