Scene 3
Artemis is furious at Myles for ruining his project.
ARTEMIS: Myles, that experiment took me one whole week to create, and it cost six years worth of your pocket money!
MYLES: Sorry Arty. (looks ashamed.)
ARTEMIS: You should be!
ANGELINA FOWL: (calls from upstairs) Arty, don't be to hard on your brother.
ARTEMIS: Of course Mother. Sorry Mother.
Artemis's phone buzzes.
ARTEMIS: We'll finish this later, Myles.
Artemis walks away from Myles and answers his phone.
FOALY: (over phone) Artemis! Holly has been captured by unknown humans somewhere in Ireland.
ARTEMIS: (slightly annoyed) I would have thought she would have learnt from the time that I kidnapped her.
FOALY: You can't help getting yourself kidnapped.
ARTEMIS: Where abouts is she? Do you have a locator on her?
FOALY: (Offended) of course I do!
ARTEMIS: Well where is she?
FOALY: (pause as he checks) Number 2, Cemetery Road, Dublin.
ARTEMIS: I'll just make up some excuse and then I'll go straight there.
FOALY: Some backup should be arriving any minute.
ARTEMIS: (hopefully but slightly mocking) is it five highly trained fairies by any chance?
FOALY: Well... no.
ARTEMIS: Who is it?
FOALY: Well just a certain kleptomaniac dwarf...
ARTEMIS: Oh no... You sent Mulch as backup?!
MULCH: (Popping up behind Artemis) you seem upset.
ARTEMIS: (Annoyed) Foaly, I'll speak to you later.
Artemis hangs up, and turns slowly to face Mulch.
MULCH: (waves) Hi. Do you have any food? (rubs tummy) Tunnelling really makes you hungry.
ARTEMIS: (scowling slightly) what did Foaly give you to help me?
MULCH: Only a year's worth of Tim Tams.
ARTEMIS: and where's he going to get those from?
MULCH: He said you would hack into the Arnott's Biscuit site and change it so that I win.
ARTEMIS: WHAT?!
MULCH: How about if I asked nicely?
ARTEMIS: No.
MULCH: How about if I said I won't help you get Holly back?
ARTEMIS: How about if I said I would call Butler?
MULCH: Remember what happened last time he came up against me?
ARTEMIS: He'd wear a gas mask.
MULCH: That wouldn't stop my amazing powers.
ARTEMIS: Fine, I'll do it, after we get back.
MULCH: Deal.
ARTEMIS: Just let me get Butler and we'll be on our way (starts to bring out phone).
