THE SCENE
The crew paying
their last respects to Miss Sun.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
BEN: Give...
me... your knife.
ANTH removes
his knife from his belt. Hands it to BEN. BEN looks at it, then
flips it so that the blade rests against his handcuff. He then
reaches down into the coffin, his hands disappearing. His lips
rest on CLAUDIA's forehead.
BEN: Aeryn...
forgive me.
He kisses her
mouth. As he stands up, he has in his hands a lock of her hair.
He considers the knife again, then hands it to ANTH.
BEN: (in a
barely audible whisper) Yay!
CLAUDIA sits
bolt upright.
CLAUDIA: I
heard that!
KEMPER: Come
on, Ben! Please!
BEN: Sorry
folks! (grins) It's just I'm really enjoying this scene.
KEMPER: It's
supposed to be touching!
BEN: I know,
but can't a guy have a little fun?
CLAUDIA: This
is so bloody unfair!
BEN: Ain't
life a bitch...and then you die!
CLAUDIA: Moron!
BEN: Corpse!
CLAUDIA: Pervert!
BEN: Um...corpse!
CLAUDIA: (lays
back down in the coffin) Let's get this finished up can we so
I can go look for another job.
KEMPER: Ok,
Claudia. Ben? Please? We running behind as it is. Jimbo, one
of the lighting guys has got his penis stuck in a hole in Gigi's
trailer and Jon keeps trying to exorcise Ginny. Can we please
just get on with this?
BEN: Sure,
no problem. I'm a professional.
CLAUDIA: Professional-
BEN: Yeah,
I know. Professional moron. Like we haven't heard that one before.
It's a good thing they're killing you off, you've become stale.
GINNY suddenly
strolls over to KEMPER and whispers something in his ear.
KEMPER: Um,
wait a sec. Change of plan.
BEN: What?
KEMPER: Um,
my Dark Master-
GINNY: Ahem!
KEMPER: Um,
er, I mean Ginny has informed me that she needs to get to work
on her world domination-
GINNY: Idiot!
KEMPER: No!
I mean....makeup! That's it! Makeup! It's irritating her!
GINNY: (decidedly
unconvincing) Yes, that's right, my makeup is very irritating.
As is Lani's cheese.
KEMPER: So,
that means...
CLAUDIA: I'm
not dead?
BEN: Nooooooooooooooooooo!
KEMPER: Well
you're dead for the time being. But we'll bring you back. Happens
all the time in sci-fi. No-one will notice.
BEN: (falls
to his knees) Oh, please God no!
CLAUDIA: Yay!
In your face, Browder!
BEN: (sobs)
