DUKE
We were at the bar having a few, I was talking about how awesome I am, and then… wait a minute. Are you still on the whole Aphrodite thing?
WILT
Yes I’m still on the whole Aphrodite thing! She is the reason Katie attacked you and I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon. It might not be Katie every time but someone is always going to be after you.
(As Duke and Wilt turn their backs to the window on the other side of the room Katie starts to climb in through it. As they talk she slowly makes her way in, picks up a fireman’s axe that Wilt left on his table, and walks over to Duke.)
DUKE
What makes you so sure?
WILT
I got some weird advice from someone I think we can trust.
DUKE
Well then what do we do?
WILT
While researching Aphrodite I found a few other cases like ours. So far none with a happy ending but that’s beside the point. Anyway the only person who can break a curse like this is the one who cursed you.
DUKE
That… kind of sucks.
WILT
You’ll like this part: I also found mention of a jewel called the Heart of Aphrodite. It is said that the goddess will grant one wish within her power to whoever possesses it.
DUKE
That sounds- (Turns and notices Katie about to slash him with the axe.) Oh shit!
(Katie swings the axe and Duke jumps out of the way just in time. Katie keeps walking towards Duke while he backs up into a corner.)
DUKE
Why do you have a fire axe just lying around!
WILT
I keep it for protection just in case anyone breaks in!
KATIE
I missed you Duke.
DUKE
Uh… I wanted to stay but Wilt kidnapped me. He’s the reason we can’t be happy.
(Katie turns and then ad
vances menacingly towards Wilt and backs him into the other corner of the room.)
