THE SCENE
Stark is consoling Zhaan.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
PAUL: I have a darkness, which
frightens lovers away. Whenever I assist the dying, I cannot
help but absorb a tiny spillet of their existence. Over the cycles,
the endless parade of death, I've accumulated a vast reservoir
of evil. I cannot bear to lose the one thing that mitigates this
twisted core of my existence.
GINNY: (giggles)
DIRECTOR: Please don't giggle.
This is supposed to be touching!
GINNY: I'm sorry, dear, it's
just the word 'spillet'!
PAUL: What's wrong with the
word 'spillet'?
GINNY: Well, it's just funny-sounding
is all.
PAUL: Don't lie! I know what
you really mean!
GINNY: You do?
PAUL: Who told you?!
GINNY: Told me what?
PAUL: You all know, don't you?!
DIRECTOR: As usual with you
lot, I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
PAUL: (turns to KEMPER) You
told them! You promised!
KEMPER: (sings absently) I'm
a little overlord, here's my spout...
GINNY: Paul, sweetie, The Kemper
has told us nothing.
PAUL: He has! It's a perfectly
normal name! The deficiency lies with you!
GINNY: Name?
PAUL: Belinda!
GINNY: Well, yes, I suppose
it is?
PAUL: Was my grandfather's
name! Is a good manly name where I come from!
GINNY: It is?
PAUL: (runs screaming from
the set)
