scene 1

It's dark, humid and hot like a jungle. There are two men Mei is sitting at a campfire or maybe a gas fire indoors . . . Myzelph is some distance away.



Mei: I hate this heat.

Myzelph: Yep. . . Why don't you come away from the flames?

Mei: I like the fire.

Myzelph: Me, too.

Mei: This humidity is going to kill me. . . Do you have any powder?

Myzelph: Nope.

Mei: Damn. . . Are you sure about this?

Myzelph: Yes.

enter Myeego, unnoticed by Mei and Myzelph

Mei: How long have you known?

Myzelph: Not long, . . . In the beginning he was magnificent, then he got angry. He blew the situation up. At first I didn't understand why everything went so wrong, but as I thought about it the pattern became clear.

Mei: Can we do it without him?

Myzelph: He is clearly not on our side, but . . . I don't think so . . . (draws sword)

Mei: FUCK! (tries to draw sword, but Myeego wraps his arms around him and prevents him)

Myzelph: Let go, Myeego!

Mei: How long have you been standing there?

Myeego: The whole time, fool. Put the fire out, its time to go.

Mei puts the fire out.

Myself: (deadly calm) You're not in charge here.

Myeego: Idiot, I don't need to be in charge. Let's do this.
