(Scene takes place 15 years later infront of a museum)
(Lights come back on)
(-Enter ADULT TONY humming a tune ((Final countdown or DHMIS 2 song preferably)). Enter ADULT PAIGE, running onto stage. She trips and scatters art supplies across the floor.-)
ADULT PAIGE: Oh dear...
(-ADULT PAIGE bends down to pick up her stuff.-)
ADULT TONY: Here, let me assist you. Why in such a hurry?
ADULT PAIGE: I wasn't in a hurry, just trying to be creative.
ADULT TONY: I see, you may have to slow down next time, my dear.
(-ADULT PAIGE and ADULT TONY look at each other, seeming surprised.-)
ADULT TONY: Well, what would be your name?
ADULT PAIGE: I'm Paige. And you are...?
ADULT TONY: Tony, my dear. Pleased to meet you.
(-He offers her his hand and she accepts, and he pulls her up.-)
ADULT PAIGE: Likewise.
(-Hears police sirens and ADULT PAIGE looks panicked-)
ADULT TONY: Quickly, this way!
(-ADULT PAIGE nods and follows ADULT TONY into a dark ally, away from the eyes of the police-)
ADULT TONY: We should be safe here for a bit, but we can't afford to linger...
ADULT PAIGE: Thank you but, why are you helping me? And what do you mean 'we'? (Beat) Are you...
ADULT TONY: A fugitive? Why yes. But I wouldn't worry about it, seeing as you are one in the same. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly did you do to draw the attention?
(-ADULT PAIGE clutches her brushes tighter and crosses her arms-)
ADULT PAIGE: Now why should I tell you that? We've only just met!
ADULT TONY: (-Shrugs shoulders nonchalantly-) Tell me, don't tell me. It doesn't matter, I'll find out everything in time...
ADULT PAIGE: Well you're awfully confident aren't you?
ADULT TONY: (-Chuckles-) Well, confidence must be built overtime my dear. (-Pauses and looks at his watch-) I suggest you make yourself scarce, the police will be coming to get you soon.
ADULT PAIGE: (-Sounding offended-) Thank you, but I can take care of myself thank you very much!
ADULT TONY: (-Looking at her skeptically-) Well, if you want my help-
ADULT PAIGE: Well I didn't ask for your help!
ADULT TONY: (-Shrugs-) Suit yourself, I'm sure you'll be fine, but eventually everyone runs out of time...
(-ADULT TONY runs off backstage. ADULT PAIGE stands there stunned, before picking herself up and making her way hurriedly out of the ally, but she is intercepted by the POLICE. POLICE holds a gun pointed at ADULT PAIGE.-)
POLICE: Ma'am, you are under arrest for defacing historical artifacts and manslaughter!
ADULT PAIGE: Oh my... (-She smiles-) but the green really was a horrid color.
POLICE: That was a piece of history!
ADULT PAIGE: Maybe to you, but not to me.
POLICE: I don't see what you mean.
ADULT PAIGE: 'Cause you're not thinking creatively! They so should've used a better color!
POLICE: And what's with your hair! You should be convicted just for that mess!
ADULT PAIGE: I use my hair to express myself!
POLICE: (-Deadpan-) That sounds really boring.
ADULT PAIGE: I USE MY HAIR TO EXPRESS MYSELF!
POLICE: Enough of this! Against the wall!
(-ADULT PAIGE turns her back towards the audience, revealing a large spear in the shape of a pencil in her back pocket. Suddenly there is a laugh and both ADULT PAIGE AND THE POLICE WOMAN look up to see ADULT TONY.-)
ADULT TONY: Well well well, looks like someone didn't use her time to her advantage...
POLICE: Who are you and what are you doing up there?
ADULT TONY: (-Jumps down from roof, speaking sarcastically-) Oh, please ma'am, I'm no threat, I only want to know what time it is...
POLICE: Wait a second! I recognize that voice! (-She moves her gun towards ADULT TONY-) You, up against the wall with the girl!
ADULT TONY: (-Chuckling-) I think you have me mistaken for someone else, I don't have time for such nonsense-
POLICE: Shut up! I know who you are! You're Tony Timeless, the thief that takes all the time in the world. What a foolish name! Its a mystery how you keep escaping, but I guess today isn't your lucky day! Against the wall now!
ADULT TONY: (-Hands up in mock surrender, not at all afraid of the gun pointed at his head-) Alright, alright...
(-ADULT TONY stands next to ADULT PAIGE, his hand on the hilt of a sword. There is a piece of green string dangling from it-)
ADULT PAIGE: (-Whispering-) What do you think you're doing?!
ADULT TONY: Tsk Tsk, I told you, dear Paige, not to linger. The police may look foolish, but it's only a matter of time before they get smart. I could have just left you, but because I am such a gentleman, I will help you out this time.
POLICE: QUIET! You're not exactly an exemplary citizen yourself sir, you have no right to talk... (-Raises communicator-) Suspect arrested, I have captured the fugitive as well as the wanted criminal... (beat) Tony Timeless. I need backup over at sector five, over.
(-While POLICE is distracted, ADULT TONY draws the rest of his sword behind his back, revealing the design of a clock hand. He whips it out and cuts the POLICE's gun in two at the speed of light, causing the communicator to be dropped as well. ADULT PAIGE pulls out her weapon too; a spear shaped like a giant pencil. The POLICE is now unarmed but she is too shocked to react.-)
ADULT TONY: (-ADULT TONY raises his weapon to strike, smiling sadistically.-) Your time in this world is up!
(-Suddenly ADULT PAIGE, with a look of guilt, stands in front of him-)
ADULT PAIGE: (-Holding her arms out-) Wait!
(-The POLICE starts to reach for her communicator again-)
ADULT TONY: (-Pushing ADULT PAIGE aside gently-) Don't be stupid my dear, there's a time and a place for mucking around. (-He gestures to the POLICE, smiling darkly-) C'mon it's time to go.
(-ADULT PAIGE sees what the POLICE is about to do and puts her weapon back up. ADULT TONY and ADULT PAIGE both then simultaneously lunge at the POLICE-)
(-Lights quickly darken-)
