| (Drakken is making his way into Middleton. SSS calling causes him to pause and watch.) SSS: MONIQUE! (Monique approaches SSS. The villains snap at her heels. She only glares disdainfully at them.) Monique: Yes, Sr? SSS: Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job. Monique: (Calmly) Sr, there is no food. The herds have moved on. SSS: No. You're just not looking hard enough. Monique: It's over. There is nothing left. We have only one choice. We must leave Middleton. SSS: We're not going anywhere. Monique: Then you have sentenced us to death. SSS: Then so be it. Monique: (Disgusted, amazed) You can't do that. SSS: I'm the king. I can do whatever I want. Monique: If you were half the king Drakken could be, you would nev - (SSS hits Monique, knocking her to the ground.) SSS: I'm ten times the king Drakken could be! (Drakken appears on the ledge. He leaps out and runs to the scene. SSS is understandably frightened.) SSS: Drakken? No. You're dead. (Monique awakens, but mistakes him as SSS did.) Monique: Kim? Drakken: No. It's me. Monique: (Delighted) Drakken? You're alive? (Confused) How can that be? Drakken: It doesn't matter; I'm home. SSS: (Confused) Drakken...? (back in form) Drakken! I'm a little surprised to see you, (giving the villains above him an angry look) alive... (On the word "alive," Adrenna-Lynn, Jackie, and a goon gulp audibly and slink into the shadows.) Drakken: (As Monique looks on with some pride) Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart. SSS: (Backing into a wall, apologetic) Oh, Drakken, you must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom... Drakken: Are no longer yours. Step down, Sr. SSS: Oh, oh, ye - Well, I would, heh, naturally, heh - however, there is one little problem. You see them? (pointing to the horde of villains on the rocks above) They think I'M king. |
