RESURRECTION

BY JAMES THORPE

MARGUERITE: One good thing about freezing to death, at least I’ll be well preserved.

ROXTON: Oh that’s the spirit, life is a state of mind.

MARGUERITE: Then I’m clearly out of mine.

ROXTON: Body heat?

MARGUERITE: I’m familiar with the concept.

ROXTON: Well, be my guest.

MARGUERITE: Well, the only sound I hear is of cold feet, running away.

ROXTON: I thought I told you to stay in the tent.

MARGUERITE: Does the phrase, ‘ungrateful son of a bitch’ have a familiar ring?

WARRIOR: Look how the puny one struggles.

MARGUERITE: Puny?! Untie me, I’ll show puny! You and me alone, now!

WARRIOR: You have been purified, now you are ready.

MARGUERITE: Ready? Ready for what?

WARRIOR: An offering to the Gods.

MARGUERITE: You give me too much credit, I have so little to offer.

ROXTON: Ouch! The lady has an iron jaw.

MARGUERITE: Trust me, she was no lady.

VERONICA: Nobody steals my home.

MARGUERITE: I got to tell you, for a dead guy you got great stamina.

ROXTON: Now let’s get one thing straight little man, I don’t murder anyone.

OSRIC: Not even your own brother? You’re already damned Lord John Roxton, what’s one more death?

ROXTON: Go to Hell!

OSRIC: After you.

MARGUERITE: What Osric said about your soul…are you sorry you saved my life?

ROXTON: No, of course not.

MARGUERITE: Alright, whatever you say.

MARGUERITE: That’s a clever diversion, kill ourselves before they can attack.

MARGUERITE: Ok, I’ve had enough for one day, I’m ready to be bored again.

VERONICA: This treehouse is my life, my world. Don’t expect me to give it up without a fight. Id’ rather die first.

VERONICA: First one who dies, loses.

MARGUERITE: Just wondering if there were any white lights, choirs of angels?

ROXTON: Let it go.

MARGUERITE: Oh, come on! Death! It must have felt like something?

ROXTON: Like a blade of ice splitting me in two. I’ve never been more afraid in my life.

MARGUERITE: Thank you for coming back for me.

ROXTON: You think I did what I did to save your life? You don’t get it do you? I was a coward, Marguerite.

MARGUERITE: No. No.

ROXTON: You know, it wasn’t death I was afraid of, it was not living. I couldn’t believe it was over. My life. My life! What, that was it? Can’t be. And then, it wasn’t.

MARGUERITE: You’re not a coward, John, just human. Welcome to the planet.

VERONICA: That hurt?

MALONE: Why would it hurt? All you did was pull a steel rod with jagged spurs out of my flesh.

MALONE: We may not make it but I’ll be damned if we’re going down without a fight.

MARGUERITE: So you’re saying you and Osric are magical creatures?

ROXTON: You mean like Gods?

MARGUERITE: Don’t encourage him.

ROXTON: I’m damned?

OLD MAN: Only in your heart, but that’s the one place it counts.

OSRIC: Fools! I’m immortal now. Nothing can kill me.

ROXTON: Maybe not, but I bet I can piss you off.

OSRIC: Well, Lord John Roxton, are you ready for death yet?

ROXTON: Not even close.

MARGUERITE: Penny for your thoughts?

ROXTON: Overpriced at that.

MARGUERITE: If anyone’s damned around here, it isn’t you.

ROXTON: Don’t say that.

MARGUERITE: Well at least you have a pure soul, last time I looked mine was a little worse for wear.

ROXTON: Well, that’s why I’ll always be around to set you straight. Dirty job but someone’s got to do it.

MARGUERITE: You said always?

ROXTON: Did I?
