THE SCENE
D'Argo and
Nilaam (Melissa), as Nilaam decides she wants to die again.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
ANTH: It is
time.
MELISSA: D'Argo...
the gifts you gave me. Youth, happiness, passion... I know I
can't keep them, but, ah... I have treasured them.
ANTH: As I've
treasured you.
MELISSA: I'm
not afraid anymore. I've chosen my path. I just don't know if
I have the will to travel it. I turned back once... I can't turn
back again. I need your strength once more.
ANTH: (breaks
into wracking sobs) Oh man! That was too beautiful.
MELISSA: Thanks!
ANTH: I mean,
I really felt the emotion.
MELISSA: (blushes)
Well, I try.
ANTH: Try!?
No! You do so much more than try.
MELISSA: (smiles,
looking a little embarrassed now)
ANTH: I mean,
I'm so used to working with sub-standard actors like Ben and
Claudia, that it's a real pleasure to work with a professional.
BEN: Hey!
CLAUDIA: Oi!
ANTH: I mean,
what with the poor scripts and abysmal direction we work under,
it's incredible how you managed to wring such a performance from
the tawdry material we have to work with.
GRANT (WRITER):
Arsehole!
DIRECTOR: Tosser!
MELISSA: (glances
about, not sure what to say)
ANTH: And as
for the producers!
KEMPER: Anth?
Nilaam doesn't have to be the one who dies in this scene, you
know. Are we going to be a good boy?
ANTH: Um, yes
sir. Sorry, sir.
