SCENE: EXTERIOR. QUIET SOUND OF WIND.
SOUND EFFECTS: PANTING AND HUFFING.
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Well, Argyle, old chum, it looks like we’ve finally lost Tenpenny’s men, and not a moment too soon!
ARGYLE: Don’t look now boss, but we’ve got company – isn’t that your brother and that slaving fiancée of his, gaining on us?
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: By Jove it is them, Argyle! And is that idiot brother of mine holding her hand?
ARGYLE: Disgusting, ain’t it boss? He’s as bad about dames as you are.
WILBERFORCE DASHWOOD: Cassandra, darling, you wait here, behind this boulder. You’ll be safe here.
CASSANDRA: But, Wilberforce, they know about Penelope! I must talk to them!
WILBERFORCE DASHWOOD: Hush Cassandra, I know. But let me deal with my brother, first. (OFF-MIC) Herbert! Herbert, damn you, I know you can hear me! I’m coming over there, but let me warn you – I have a mini nuke in my pocket. If you so much as place a hand on your gun belt, I’ll blow myself up and you along with me! Argyle. too!
SOUND EFFECTS: RUSTLING OF BRUSH, FOOTSTEPS
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: That’s close enough, Will! Now listen to me: that woman is named Penelope Chase – she’s a monster who nearly killed Argyle and me and sold out the city of Rockopolis to slavers!
WILBERFORCE DASHWOOD: No. No, she isn’t Penelope Chase. Her name is Chase, though. Cassandra Chase. She’s Penelope’s sister.
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Penelope’s sister?
ARGYLE: I never heard of Penelope having a sister, boss.
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Neither have I, Argyle. Though how Penelope could have escaped your Eagle Claw attack – well, I just don’t know.
WILBERFORCE DASHWOOD: I have proof, gentlemen. Take a look at this picture.
SOUND EFFECT: RUSTLING OF STIFF PAPER
ARGYLE: Boss, are you seeing what I’m seeing?
HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Twins, by Jove! And both of them identical!
