Scene 3: Lucy's Interview

(The commercial break ends.)

Dave: Please welcome tonight's final guest, Lucy!

(The audience applauds as Lucy walks onto the stage and takes a seat in the chair across from Dave.)

Dave: (smiles at Lucy) Hello Lucy.

Lucy: Hello Dave.

Dave: If you don't mind me asking, what kind of monster are you?

Lucy: I'm a demon.

Dave: Were you born a demon?

Lucy: No.

Dave: Did something happen to make you a demon?

Lucy: Yes.

Dave: What was that?

(Lucy starts to get uncomfortable, thinking about the science experiment that made her the way it is.)

Lucy: I'd prefer not to talk about it.

Dave: You can trust me, Lucy. I won't tell anyone.

Lucy: (scowls) In case you haven't noticed, there are cameras around.

(Dave tries to reassure Lucy.)

Dave: Just pretend they're not there.

Lucy: Okay.

(Lucy starts pretending there are no cameras around.)

Lucy: I was once a normal girl. I had parents. Until that horrible day my mom died of cancer. My dad was so distraught that he killed himself.

Dave: What happened to you?

Lucy: I was taken to an orphanage and raised there until I was 14, then I got kidnapped by scientists. I was asleep when that happened. The scientists performed an experiment on me. As a result of that experiment, I was turned into a demon.

Dave: Was that their intention?

Lucy: You mean the scientists?

Dave: Yes.

Lucy: Then yes. It was. They wanted to see if they could turn a human into a demon without them being possessed.

Lucy (bitterly): And lo and behold, they were successful.

Dave: Thank you for telling me that, Lucy. It must have been really difficult.

Lucy: It was; but it's kind of nice to open up about my life, I guess.

Dave: Have you ever talked to anyone about your life before?

Lucy: No. May I please leave now? The full moon is rising, and if I don't leave soon, things will get really ugly.

Dave: Yes Lucy. I can't think of anymore questions, so you may leave. Thank you for coming.

Lucy: Thank you for having me.

(Lucy leaves, and Dave turns to the audience.)

Dave: See you next time on The Dave Currie Show!
