Scene seven

Thom

Wait a second? What happened to scene six?

Wise Demon

I wanted Act two to have seven scenes.

Thom

So why didn't you divide that last one?

Wise Demon

Don't bring logic into it... Just go finish...

Thom

Oh right...

(Raiais on the stage by now) Hey babe! What's up!

Raia

Oh misery! Oh Woe!

Thom

Oh come on...

Raia

My life is ruined... I'll never find Persia... I'll die out here in this desert...

Thom

I can help you...

Raia

(Thom is trying to interrupt but he can't) Oh... woe is me....I shall waste into nothing and perish in this vast wilderness and no one will ever know how I have died... Oh.... Woe.. Woe... woe...

Thom

Will you shut up!

(Raia begins to cry more and whimper loudly. Thom feels bad) Oh... now stop crying.... Come on... everything is okay... You're not going to die...

(Un caps the vial) Hey...are you thirsty?

(She nods sniffling like a child. Hands her the vial) Here... have a drink.

(She does so and immediately falls unconscious) Wow... that was fast.

(Thom begins to drag her towards the Sorcerer's side) Oh boy... heavy chick...

(Thom throws her into the sorcerer on the chair.) Here you go.

Sorcerer

John!

John

Yo... er I mean, yes, Master?

(Sees Raiaand is in love again) Oh... wow...

Sorcerer

Stands back, Thom. She's waking up.

(Thom dives behind the chair with a loud cry)

Raia

(Blinking and waking with a sweet smile.) Hello...

John

(Nervously but lovingly) Hi...

Raia

Have I met you before? You seem familiar.

John

I hope that's a good thing.

Raia

(Blushing) Oh yes... it is a very good thing.

(They both smile and stand together hand in hand)

Thom

Can I come out yet?

Sorcerer

Oh aren't they so cute...

Thom

Yeah... Hey... I think it worked...

(Darts over to the wise demon and jumps onto the platform with him) Yo! Existential wise dude!

(Wise demon looks over at Thom superiorly.) Am I safe now?

Wise Demon

Ommmm..... You are..... Ommmmmm.

Thom

Whahoo! I'm safe! I'm safe!

(rushes excitedly back to the sorcerer) Can I be free again? Please please please please please...

Sorcerer

Go on... I'll get you back if I need you.

Thom

(Smiles) You go ahead and try.

(Dancing about) Yay! I'm free and I'm safe! I'm free and I'm safe...

(Stops abruptly) Wait...

(Thom looks back at Wise Demon) What was that bit you were telling me earlier? Something about a ring and a cheese steak?

Wise Demon

The laws of Demonic Nature are not to be taken lightly.... Ommmm. Beware deceitful tendencies while with in the ring of human power...for what you mistake now you will correct later... Ommmmmm.....

Thom

(Looking depressed) Aw, man... you are so kidding me...

(Glares when wise demon shakes her head.) You know.... I don't like you. Not a bit... not even a little bit...

Oi... I'm going to go home and take a bubble bath...

Wise Demon

(Smiles and hits the gong) End of Act two.

Now... shoo shoo... go home... go away... bye bye...
