Loni appears stunned and takes a step away from Harley. Harley stares at Ford with little emotion.
HARLEY
I'll tell you about Damon's ambush plans, if you'll agree to take us with you before you blow the ship.
Ford studies her with a skeptical look. His eyes sweep over her a moment and a tiny smile crosses his face.
FORD
You want to come with me?
HARLEY
We sure as hell don't want to die. Do we have a deal?
Ford eyes her lustfully then smiles and chuckles.
FORD
Yeah, we have a deal.
Ford motions them onward with his rifle. Loni eyes Harley with concern as they walk along the corridor. Ford follows behind them.
LONI
(soft)
You know, Harley, I'm starting to think you're a little nutty.
HARLEY
(soft)
You want to get out of here alive, don't you?
LONI
(whispers)
Of course--
Ford follows them with his gun casually aimed and listens to their soft conversation. Harley places her hands on her hips and casually pulls back her jacket to reveal the gun in the shoulder holster to Loni. Loni's eyes sweep past the gun in the shoulder holster then meets Harley's tiny smile.
HARLEY
Then you'll just have to trust me and do what I tell you to do.
LONI
All right, Harley, but I hope you know what you're getting us into.
Harley offers a pleasant smiles and places her arm around Loni's shoulder.
HARLEY
I'm a business woman, remember?
Harley reaches under her jacket for the gun while smiling at Loni being held against her side as they walk.
HARLEY
And I've learned something very valuable on this cruise.
Loni attempts to appear calm and nervously smiles.
LONI
Never go on another one?
Harley removes the gun from the shoulder holster and holds it firmly in her hand and against her side.
HARLEY
I've learned that a woman has to use her assets if she wants to achieve her goals. It's all too true. So if that means you and I have to share a bed with Ford to survive, then that's what we do.
Harley keeps watch on Ford behind them out of the corner of her eye while looking at Loni.
LONI
(fidgets)
I'm not above a threesome if it keeps me alive. But do you think he'll go for it?
HARLEY
We'll just have to hope--
Ford now pays close attention to their soft conversation. We see the gun lower slightly along with his defenses. Harley presses the gun between them and aims it behind them while they walk closely.
HARLEY
--that his lust is his downfall. |
