UNNATURAL SELECTION

BY KRIS DOBKIN

SUMMERLEE: Come on, Ned, we need some human perspective.

MALONE: Are you sure I should get that close?

MARGUERITE: Yes, Ned, go on.

SUMMERLEE: Oh, it’s perfectly safe. Our subjects are herbivores; plant eaters. 

MARGUERITE: Just try not to look like a vegetable and you’ll be fine.

RENATA: Father said they went to all the fancy Balls together. Have you ever been?

ROXTON: To a Ball? Oh yes, many times.

RENATA: Were they glorious?

ROXTON: They were, uh, long.

RENATA: Don’t you like to dance?

ROXTON: Oh, I’ve had my moments.

CHALLENGER: The fall will surely kill us.

ROXTON: Either we jump or we’re dinner.

HARGROVE: Come now, Veronica, smile, you’re about to become a mother.

ROXTON: Well we made it. We’re still alive.

CHALLENGER: How can you tell?

ROXTON: I hurt too much to be dead.

MALONE: Hello! If it wouldn’t be too much to ask, would somebody get me the hell down?!

MARGUERITE: Well, not the first man to lose his head over me.

MALONE: If I break the damn thing taking it out, it won’t be of much use.

SUMMERLEE: If we get eaten it’ll be even less use.

MARGUERITE: Maybe if you distracted it.

MALONE: How? By being lunch?

MARGUERITE: Are you out of your mind? That was our way home.

SUMMERLEE: It wasn’t worth your life.

ROXTON: Why are you doing this?

RENATA: For you.
