TROPHIES

BY RICHARD OLEKSIAK

 

MALONE: How did you find us?

BURTON: Ned Malone, always the reporter.  I so admired your stories from the front, especially Flanders.  I don’t know how you survived.

MALONE: Well, you develop an instinct for danger.

 

VERONICA: I know Burton has something to do with this.

MARGUERITE: You might be right.

VERONICA: Do you know something about him?

MARGUERITE: For now let’s just call it women’s intuition.

 

MARGUERITE: You know, you and I could keep each other honest.

BURTON: Why do I feel you don’t care that I’m the one that’s holding the gun?

 

BURTON: You never stop do you?

MARGUERITE: I can’t.  Can you?

 

BURTON: Alright Veronica, that was a cute trick, but enough’s enough.  Come on out.

VERONICA: If I do, it’ll only be to kill you.

 

BURTON: I’m so sorry, marguerite, but you’re just too much trouble.

 

VERONICA: I’ll fight you every step.

BURTON: I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

VERONICA: I’ve read about creeps like you who make their money off other peoples misery.

BURTON: Yeah, it’s a cruel world.

VERONICA: You can leave anytime you want.  I’ll even help give you a push!

 

BURTON: We’re going to pack them in all over Europe.  You’re going to be my Jungle Princess.

VERONICA: You better hope you live that long.

BURTON: Oh, my savage Jungle Princess.

 

MARGUERITE: Don’t tell me, there’s no sign of my gems.

ROXTON: There’s no sign of your gems.

MALONE: Sorry, Marguerite, the rest just seems to be dirty socks and underwear.

ROXTON: Well, I guess you could consider that some sort of trophy.

 

ROXTON: Well, come on.  You said you’d tell us the whole story.

MARGUERITE: Don’t you think people are more interesting when they have secrets?

ALL: No!
