Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Confrontation Over Social Status and Relationships

Lady Catherine de Bourgh (through the hole in the door) You have very small estate here.

Elizabeth Bennet (as she open the door) And yet we endure it.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh I have urgent business to attend to. A falsehood of the most scandalous nature has reached me. That you intend to unite with my own nephew Mr. Darcy. Is it true?

Elizabeth Bennet I do not possess your frankness, your ladyship. You may ask questions I may not choose to answer.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh Let me be rightly understood, Miss Bennet. Darcy has been promised since infancy to my daughter.

Elizabeth Bennet You have no reason to suppose he made me an offer.

Luce And you tried the ladle?

Rachel Nothing.

Luce And you can't empty...

Rachel No.

Luce No, it's too big. Right. Only one thing to do. Cover me.

Rachel What?

Luce Use the dress.

Luce I'm going in.

Rachel You can't just...

Rachel Oh, yes, really, you can.

Dredd

High Stakes Confrontation Between Dredd and Ma-Ma

Ma-Ma You're a piece of work, Dredd. But then so am I. You think I didn't know I'd get busted some day? Goes with the territory. This entire level is rigged with enough high explosives to take out the top 50 stories. If they go, the rest go, too. Like the jewelry? It's a transmitter synched to my heart beat. My heart stops beating, the building blows. Everyone in it, ash. You got no way out, Judge. Put your gun down. Do you know how many people live in this block?

Judge Dredd This isn't a negotiation. The sentence is death.

Ma-Ma You can't afford to take the risk.

Judge Dredd We're a kilometer above ground. What do you figure the range is on that thing? Could it get through a hundred levels of concrete? How about two hundred? Let's find out. Citizen Ma-Ma. Your crimes are multiple homicide and the manufacture and distribution of narcotics. How do you plead? Defense noted.

[Dredd picks Ma-Ma up and holds her in front of a window.; Ma-Ma stares defiantly at Dredd]

A Playful Introduction to H's Name

Luce What's your name, anyway?

H Everyone calls me "H. They tell me it's short for Henrietta, but it's not. It's short for Jesus "H" Christ. That's what my mummy said when she found out she was pregnant with me.

Ripley's Game

Innocence and Ignorance in Conversation

Sarah Trevanny I don't know how much you...

Tom Ripley How much I...drink? Bathe? Work out?

Sarah Trevanny How much you know about Jonathan's condition.

Tom Ripley Nothing. I'm an innocent.

Sarah Trevanny Jonathan has chronic myeloid leukemia.

Tom Ripley My God, you're kidding! I'm so sorry.

[ingenuously]

Sarah Trevanny Thank you. So, this opportunity came up for him to get a second opinion at this research foundation. He doesn't talk about it much, but I know he's angry. He's angry because... he'll probably die soon, while the rest of us go on living. And he's angry to be so young. And he's angry that he might not see Matthew grow up.

[quietly]

Tom Ripley And what about you? Are you angry?

Sarah Trevanny Sometimes. I love him completely, but... I feel there's a part of me that will be glad when it's all over...and that's a terrible thing to say.

[sadly]

Tom Ripley I don't think you could say anything that terrible, or think it. I don't think what you're feeling is terrible at all. I think Jonathan is very, very fortunate to have someone like you, and I imagine he knows it.

Admiration for Strength and Resolve

Lady Catherine de Bourgh (holding her swords up) I do not know which I admire more, Elizabeth Bennet. Your skill as a warrior or your resolve as a woman.

Imagine Me & You

The Dilemma of Unstoppable Forces

H Heck, I've got a question.

Tessa Not now.

Heck What's the question, H?

H What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Heck I haven't got a bastard clue, I'm afraid.

[thinks for a few seconds]

Tessa There you are, you see. Now we can let him get married in peace.

Luce It never happens. If there's a thing that can't be stopped, it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question is the answer.

[Catches H before Tessa can take her away completely]

H Can she sit with me?

[as Tessa leads her to the church]

300

The Dilemma of Duty and Freedom

Leonidas It seems, though a slave and captive of lecherous old men, the oracle's words could set fire to all that I love.

Gorgo So that is why my king loses sleep and is forced from the warmth of his bed? There's only one woman's words that should affect the mood of my husband. Those are mine.

Leonidas Then what must a king do to save his world, when the very laws he has sworn to protect force him to do nothing?

Gorgo It is not a question of what a Spartan citizen should do, nor a husband, nor a king. Instead, ask yourself, my dearest love, what should a free man do?

The Brothers Grimm

Confronting Fear in the Forest

Will Grimm We cannot fight an entire forest!

Angelika You're just scared!

Will Grimm Just scared? I'm terrified!

Imagine Me & You

The Moment of Realization and Wholeness

Luce I think you know immediately. As soon as your eyes meet... Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you have been right in that first moment. When you suddenly realize that you were incomplete and now you are whole...

300

A Night of Unspoken Intentions

Theron Beautiful night.

Gorgo Yes, but I did not ask you here for a small talk, Theron.

[grabs her dress and walks with Theron]

Theron You can be sure of that, you never spared words with me.

Gorgo Can I offer you something?. A drink perhaps?.

Theron Is it poison?

[nervously]

Gorgo I'm sorry to disappoint you, it's only water.

Gorgo Yes. I need your help in winning votes to send the army north to our king.

Theron Yes. I can see it, the two of us standing together. Me, politician. You, warrior. Our voices as one. But why would I want to do that?

Gorgo It proves you care for a king who right now fights for the very water we drink.

Theron True, But this is politics, not war. Leonidas is an idealist.

Gorgo I know your kind too well. You send men to slaughter for your own gain.

Theron Your husband, our king, has taken 300 of our finest to slaughter. He's broken our laws and left without the council's consent. I'm simply a realist.

Gorgo You're an opportunist.

Theron You're as foolish as Leonidas if you think men don't have a price in this world. All men are not created equal. That's the Spartan code, my little queen. I admire your passion. But don't think that you... A woman, even a queen can walk into the council chamber and sway the minds of men. I own that chamber as if it were built with these hands. I could crush the life out of you right now. You will go before the council, but your words will fall on deaf ears. Leonidas will receive no reinforcements, and if he returns without my help, he will go to jail or worse! Do you love your Sparta?

[reels from being slapped by Gorgo; coldly; grabs Gorgo by the throat and pins her back into the pillar; into Gorgo's face]

Gorgo Yes.

Theron And your king?

Gorgo I do!

Theron Your husband fights for his land and his love. What do you have to offer in return for my word that I'll help you send our army north?

[releases grip on Gorgo's throat and tightens his strap cape]

Gorgo What does a realist want with his queen?

Theron I think you know. This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I am not your king.

[pauses; watches in amazement as Gorgo slowly slips off her dress, then he turns her around and pins her against the pillar; roughly penetrates Gorgo; begins to rape Gorgo]

Imagine Me & You

Exploring Marriage and Sexual Identity Choices

Heck So, what about you? Are you married? Ever been married, ever going to get married?

Luce No. No. Maybe now that the law's changed.

Heck How do you mean?

Luce Well, I'm gay.

Heck Mmm...lovely...well done.

[chuckles, then realizes that it's not a joke]
