UNDER
PRESSURE
BY
JUDITH REEVES-STEVENS & GARFIELD REEVES-STEVENS
CHALLENGER: Now all we have to do is test
the equipment. (switches
latest invention on) You take that
positive lead (hands to
Malone) and you take the negative one (hands to Roxton).
ROXTON: A positive and negative; isn’t
that dangerous?
CHALLENGER: Only if it doesn’t work.
MALONE: Do you think for Alex’s sake we
should go and keep him company?
ROXTON: I think we’d be safer in a
clearing with a T-Rex.
MARGUERITE: Veronica, this unseemly
interest you have in Alex; what would Ned say?
VERONICA: He might as well be my brother!
MARGUERITE: Oooh.
VERONICA: What about you and Roxton? Now you two obviously make a perfect couple.
MARGUERITE: Roxton? He’s…he’s too old for me.
VERONCIA: Well I thought that’s the way
you liked them, Marguerite; old, wrinkly and rich!
VERONICA: Ned, you’re jealous.
MALONE: Jealous! Of what? Of lost and
lonely, bulging with muscles, Alex?
ROXTON: No, I won’t believe it.
MARGUERITE: Grow up, Roxton. We all have a price.
ROXTON: You mean you do.
MARGUERITE: Yes, you’re right, Roxton, I do
know what my price is, but whatever I have done for it, what Challenger’s doing
now is much worse.
MALONE: To jeopardise all of humanity just
for scientific knowledge…?
MARGUERITE: Pay attention, Malone! Scientific knowledge is Challenger’s
price and Holt has paid him in full.
HOLT: And who knows, George, in time faced
with the superior power and intellect of the Cobalt’s, imperfect humanity may
at last go the way of the dinosaurs.
ROXTON: That’s not much of a threat,
Holt. Where I come from there are
plenty of dinosaurs.
