SCENE 5
Outside the house. Day. MARC is banging on the door.
MARC: Sarah!! {bang, bang, bang} SARAH!!! Open this goddamn door you FREAKS!
{A vocally distorted female scream is heard inside}
MARC: What the hell are you doing to her! {bang, bang, bang}
{Enter SARAH stage left tilting her head. She is muttering to herself and playing with a doll made of wires & electrical tape.}
SARAH: {singing} Dolly, dolly, dolly. Your hair is so beau-ti-ful. You are such a pret-ty dol-ly.
{MARC turns round, and runs to her}
MARC: Oh Sarah! {embracing her} Thank God you're alright!
SARAH: I'm alright, daddy. The bad man didn't hurt me.
MARC: {slowly, and confused} I'm not your daddy.
SARAH: {hurt} What?
MARC: Never mind. What happened to you?
SARAH: Why did you say you're not my daddy?
MARC: Never mind that, Where did you go?
SARAH: {beginning to cry} But you are my daddy. Why are you saying you're not my daddy?
MARC: Oh honey, don't cry. {he hugs her}
SARAH: Are you my daddy?
MARC: Ssshhh...what happened to you sweetheart?
SARAH: This big man with a funny coat came up to me, and then he smiled and then I blinked and then I was in this hot room and then I blinked and then I was here with dolly and then I saw you...
MARC: The man with the coat; Was he pale with black hair?
SARAH: Yes.
MARC: Did he say anything to you?
SARAH: Yes.
MARC: What?
SARAH: He said, "Don't be afraid." {whispering} and his mouth didn't move.
MARC: He didn't hurt you or touch you?
SARAH: No.
MARC: Oh sweetheart. I'll take care of you. I promise.
{They embrace again. Her body begins to spasm, and MARC lets go. She writhes on the floor, spasms, and falls flat. Pause. She rises slowly, and stares around the audience calmly.}
MARC: Sarah? Are you alright?
SARAH: What the fuck do you think?
MARC: Sarah?
SARAH: Who else could I be in a body like this?
{She begins rubbing her skin, and peeling off her shirt.}
MARC: What are you doing?
SARAH: I'm being the woman that I could never be before. The one who fills and is filled, the one who is flesh and machine, the one who knows and is knowing.
MARC: What?
SARAH: I am truth. {long pause} Feel me.
MARC: {he slowly moves his hand to her face} You're so cold.
SARAH: I am the way of the future.
MARC: It's like you're dead.
SARAH: {laughing} Inside and out. This is what the Master gives us Marc. He gives us everything.
MARC: The Master?
SARAH: Yes. The Master.
{She begins to clutch her head in pain and ecstasy}
MARC: What's going on?
SARAH: AAAaaaggghhhh! {Her body spasms and she passes out on the ground.}
MARC: {gently shaking her to wake her} Sarah...come on honey, wake up...wake up...
SARAH: {muttering} no more pain no more pain no more pain no more pain no more pain
MARC: Come on Sarah...Come on...wake up...Wake up...
{Lights begin to dim. Facade splits. Enter the MASTER. MARC looks up to him.}
MARC: Help her. Please. Help her.
{SARAH sits bolt upright and looks MARC in the face.}
MARC: Oh my God. Are you alright?
{She laughs in his face}
MARC: You fucking whore! Goddamn fucking whore!
{He looks at the MASTER.}
MASTER: Welcome.
{Scene darkens immediately. Sound of gate slamming shut. Sound of gate creaking open.}
