THE JOURNEY BEGINS

BY JIM HENSHAW & PETER MOHAN

 

MARGUERITE: A gentleman's duty is to believe what a lady tells him.

ROXTON: Don't let the title fool you. I'm as far from being a gentleman as you are from being a lady.

 

ROXTON: A beautiful woman should not bathe alone. No telling what kind of danger she might run into out here.

MARGUERITE: Danger? You're the only thing I have to worry about. Sneaking around the bushes like some Peeping Tom.

ROXTON: Madam, you flatter yourself.

 

MARGUERITE: Figures you'd land on top of me.

ROXTON: Mmm, I must say you broke my fall quite nicely.

 

ROXTON: A little voice inside keeps telling me that for the good of the party, I should throw you to the wolves, first chance I get.

MARGUERITE: So why don't you?

ROXTON: Because another voice tells me, you only meet a woman made of fire and steel once in a blue moon and you don't want to waste her when she's in your hands.

THEY KISS AND SHE BITES HIS LIP

MARGUERITE: I am not in your hands, Lord Roxton and anytime you wish to throw me to the wolves, I suggest you try. You might be surprised which one of us gets eaten.

 

ROXTON: Yes, well I always say, anything that isn't worth shedding a little blood over, isn't worth the getting.

 

ROXTON: I've come a long way for this hunt (pauses to bend down by Marguerite) and I'm not going back without a trophy.

 

ROXTON: I, uh, I've just been out hunting.

MARGUERITE: Should've recognised the look.
