Beast Wars
"The Tragic Love Song of Destiny, Part 2"
ACT ONE
Show recap of previous episode, then:
Fade in.
INT. - EST. - MAXIMAL BASE - CONTROL ROOM. DAY.
Optimus - Robot Form - is standing at the central table. Cheetor - Robot Form - is standing across from him.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Cheetor, we aren't supposed to have direct contact with humans unless the Predacons are involved! You know that!
CHEETOR
The Predacons ARE involved, Optimus! They attacked her for her Energon crystal once; who's to say they won't do it again?
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Is this really about the Energon?
CHEETOR
Just what are you getting at?
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
I'm thinking there's something more to this.
CHEETOR
So what if there is?
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Then you admit it.
CHEETOR
I didn't admit anything. Don't go putting words into my mouth.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
This is dangerous territory you're going into, Cheetor. The reason we shouldn't be involved with the humans is because it's too dangerous for them.
CHEETOR
That didn't stop you.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
I learned my lesson. So did Ironhide and Snarl.
CHEETOR
Well, nobody's gonna die because of me. I'll make sure of that.
He turns and walks over to the exit elevator.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Where are you going, Cheetor?
CHEETOR
I'm meeting Natalie. She wants to know more about us - where we come from, how we got here, everything.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Cheetor -
CHEETOR
Don't tell me - I'm in dangerous territory, right?
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
Not just because you're jeopardizing us, but you're jeopardizing history.
CHEETOR
History's still being made.
He lowers the elevator.
Cut to:
EXT. - LAKE. DAY.
Cheetor and Natalie are standing at the edge of the lake. Cheetor picks up a smooth stone and throws it at the water; it skips along the surface of the lake.
CHEETOR
I wish we could take you to Cybertron with us. Many Cybertronians hadn't even seen a human; they only know about your kind from the history banks.
NATALIE
How's that?
CHEETOR
Our ancestors also fought a war on this planet.
NATALIE
Before you arrived?
CHEETOR
Well - how do I explain this? Yeah, they were here before we were, and they still are, but they're unconscious right now. They've been like that for nearly four million years. I'd say - what year is this?
NATALIE
1772.
CHEETOR
In another two hundred and twelve years they'll wake up and start their own war. Humans are gonna help the Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.
NATALIE
You say that like it hasn't happened yet.
CHEETOR
In some ways it has, in others it hasn't.
NATALIE
Does that mean that not only are you from another world, but you're also from the future?
CHEETOR
Hard to believe, I know.
He throws another rock at the lake. This one sinks.
CHEETOR
Nuts, that one didn't skip. Snarl was really good at this.
He sniffs the air; he's smelled something.
CHEETOR
Uh oh.
NATALIE
What's the matter?
CHEETOR
Get down!
He throws Natalie to the ground and covers her body with his own as a stream of fire goes over their heads.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Inferno - Robot Form - is hovering above them via his propeller-butt.
INFERNO
The Royalty has demanded your head, Maximal, and the human's Energon crystal!
Cheetor climbs to his feet. He pulls Natalie off the ground.
CHEETOR
Natalie, run!
He doesn't wait for Natalie to start running; he takes out his sword and LEAPS at Inferno.
Quick cut to:
EXT. - FOREST. DAY.
Natalie's running as fast as she can through the trees. Her dress gets caught on a thorny bush at one point, ripping it.
NATALIE
Cursed dress.
She stops just long enough to tear the lower half of her skirt off.
NATALIE
Great for social outings; not so good for cross-country.
She starts running again. After a few seconds, she comes to a trail -
Where Scarem - Beast Form - is waiting. He clicks his mandibles together.
NATALIE
(screams)
SCAREM
Your crystal...To me, give it. Commands it, Lord Megatron does.
NATALIE
N - no. You can't have it!
She scoops some dirt off the ground and FLINGS it into Scarem's eyes.
SCAREM
Wretched human!
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Natalie quickly climbs to her feet and runs down the trail.
Back on: Scarem.
He manages to get the dirt out of his eyes.
SCAREM
Away from me, get, you will not.
He quickly scuttles down the trail after Natalie. After a few seconds, he starts flying.
Cut to:
EXT. - LAKE. DAY.
Inferno's lying face-down in the sand; he looks like he's taken quite the beating.
OVER TO - CHEETOR.
He's a little burned and dinged up, but in otherwise much better shape than Inferno. He puts his sword and Quasar Cannon away.
CHEETOR
Well, that's that. What about Natalie?
He TRANSFORMS into his Beast Form and hurries into the forest.
Cut to:
EXT. - MAXIMAL BASE. DAY.
Natalie's running as fast as she can towards the base; Scarem's right behind her - he's catching up.
NATALIE
Maximals! Help me!
SCAREM
Help you, the Maximals will not.
The base's auto guns turn to aim at Scarem. They FIRE. Scarem manages to dodge the blasts. One blast comes dangerously close to hitting him; he gets sprayed with dirt.
Back on: Natalie.
She skids to a stop near the base.
NATALIE
Maximals, open up! Let me in, please!
The entrance elevator lowers; Dinobot, Bantor, and Air Hammer - all in their Beast Forms - lower to the ground on the elevator. Bantor and Air Hammer are Fuzors; Bantor's a mix between a tiger and a mandril, and Air Hammer's a mix between a hawk and a hammerhead shark.
AIR HAMMER
We're here, babe!
BANTOR
Get behind us!
Natalie hurries onto the entrance elevator as the three Maximals step off.
DINOBOT
Dinobot, Maximize!
BANTOR
Bantor, Maximize!
AIR HAMMER
Air Hammer, Maximize!
Dinobot, Bantor, Air Hammer - TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE.
They TRANSFORM into their Robot Forms and start firing their weapons at Scarem - Dinobot's shooting his laser-eye beams, whereas Bantor and Air Hammer have blasters.
Back on: Scarem.
He quickly stops and flies off in the opposte direction.
SCAREM
Pleased about this, Lord Megatron will not be.
Fade to:
EXT. - TOWN. DAY.
Natalie's standing behind her house. Cheetor's with her; he's in his Robot Form.
CHEETOR
Sorry about all this.
NATALIE
You don't have to apologize.
CHEETOR
No, I do. I got you involved in my war. I mean, this is the second time the Predacons have attacked you for your Energon; you were almost killed this time! I want to make sure that you stay alive.
He hugs her.
CHEETOR
I don't want you to die.
NATALIE
Cheetor, I'm not going to die. At least, not right away. I may be mortal, but I still have a lot of years to live.
CHEETOR
But what if the Predacons actually do kill you? What if you run into their leader Megatron? He won't show you any mercy.
NATALIE
I'll be okay, Cheetor, just as long as you're with me.
CHEETOR
I hope so. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you.
He lets her go.
CHEETOR
Don't worry; I won't be far.
Natalie smiles at him. She walks around to her front door and goes inside, and we:
Fade out.
End Act One.
ACT TWO
Fade in.
INT. - MAXIMAL BASE - HALLWAY. EVENING.
Airrazor - Robot Form - is walking down the hallway. She's stopped by Bonecrusher.
BONECRUSHER
Well, there's the prettiest falcon in the whole world.
AIRRAZOR
Well, there's the stupidest cow in the whole world.
BONECRUSHER
(sighs)
I'm a buffalo, thank you very much.
AIRRAZOR
You're still a walking hamburger. What do you want?
BONECRUSHER
Not much. Just wonderin'...Wanna go out?
AIRRAZOR
On a date?
BONECRUSHER
Yup.
AIRRAZOR
Bonecrusher, humans go out on dates. Robots don't. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going stargazing with Tigatron tonight.
She pushes her way past Bonecrusher.
BONECRUSHER
But I thought you liked me!
AIRRAZOR (O. S.)
Not like that.
Bonecrusher clenches a fist in frustration.
BONECRUSHER
Every time I try to be sweet on her, she shoots me down. Why? Oh, wait, I think I know. I know why she always goes to Tigatron. It's because he's strong, kind, and handsome to boot. Well, I'm strong, I'm kind, I may not be the handsomest fellow in the world, but so what? Wait a second. Wait one second! I know what I need; I know what women like. I just need more power. And I know where I can get it.
He walks down the hallway.
Cut to:
INT. - PREDACON BASE - CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT.
Bonecrusher's in the room with Megatron, Scarem, and Spittor - they're all in their Robot Forms.
MEGATRON
You want to what?
BONECRUSHER
That's right. I'm tired of being a goody two-shoes. That, and I'm tired of Airrazor saying no to me. I just wanted to go out on one little date; is that such a crime?
SCAREM
Trust him, I do not.
SPITTOR
Nor do I, though I must admit, I have always admired his strength and power.
BONECRUSHER
Thanks. I love you too, buddy.
SPITTOR
Silencio.
BONECRUSHER
Silas said what?
MEGATRON
If you become a Predacon, Bonecrusher, then you may never return to the Maximals.
BONECRUSHER
No problem. Give me a minute.
He powers down for a moment, before powering back up again.
BONECRUSHER
There. Activation code changed.
He points to the Maximal insignia on his arm.
BONECRUSHER
Now where can I get this thing changed?
Cut to:
EXT. - HILLTOP. NIGHT.
Cheetor - Robot Form - and Natalie are sitting on top of the hill, looking up at the sky. Cheetor points at one of the stars.
CHEETOR
Right there.
NATALIE
That star?
CHEETOR
That's not a star. That's a planet. Believe it or not, that tiny dot is my home world.
NATALIE
Is every star up there a planet?
CHEETOR
Some of them, I'm sure. I know that the other planets in this solar system are up there. Look; there's Jupiter. And Venus is right there.
NATALIE
The night sky is so wondrous and beautiful, isn't it?
CHEETOR
Yeah.
He looks at Natalie.
CHEETOR
But not as beautiful as you.
And he starts to sing.
CHEETOR
There's a calm surrender/To the rush of day/When the heat of the rolling world/Can be turned away/An enchanted moment/And it sees me through/It's enough for this restless warrior/Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?/It is where we are/It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer/That we got this far/And can you feel the love tonight/How it's laid to rest?/It's enough to make kings and vagabonds/Believe the very best.
Now Natalie starts singing.
NATALIE
There's a time for everyone/If they only learn/That the twist in the kaleidoscope/Moves us all in turn/There's a rhyme and reason/To the wild outdoors/When the heart of this star-crossed voyager/Beats in time with yours
CHEETOR/NATALIE
And can you feel the love tonight?/It is where we are/It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer/That we got this far/And can you feel the love tonight/How it's laid to rest?/It's enough to make kings and vagabonds/Believe the very best.
CHEETOR
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds/Believe the very best.
They lean in close and kiss.
OVER TO - SPITTOR (BEAST FORM)
He's watching from the bushes.
SPITTOR
(thinking)
Enjoy the moment while it lasts, amigos. Soon, you will both be dead and the senorita's crystal will belong to senor Megatron.
Cut to:
INT. - MAXIMAL BASE - CHEETOR'S ROOM. NIGHT.
Cheetor lays down on his cot. He's got a huge grin on his face.
CHEETOR
(thinking)
Maybe I should take Natalie up on her offer. I mean, I really like her.
He sits up.
CHEETOR
No, I don't just like her. I love her. Looks like Bonecrusher called it right. He'll be coming in here any second bragging about it.
He looks over to the door, but nothing happens.
CHEETOR
That's odd. He's been outside my room every day since we met Natalie. What's going on?
ANOTHER ANGLE.
He opens the door and looks up and down the hallway. Silverbolt - Robot Form - goes walking by.
CHEETOR
Silverbolt, have you seen Bonecrusher?
SILVERBOLT
I'm sorry, Cheetor. No one has, not since late in the afternoon.
CHEETOR
Who was the last one to see him?
SILVERBOLT
I believe Airrazor.
The entire place is rocked by an explosion.
CHEETOR
What was that?
SILVERBOLT
Predacon attack?
Quick cut to:
INT. - MAXIMAL BASE - CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT.
Cheetor and Silverbolt hurry into the room.
CHEETOR
What's going on?
RATTRAP
I'll tell ya what's going on - Bonecrusher's betrayed us!
SILVERBOLT
What?
CHEETOR
He wouldn't - He couldn't.
DINOBOT
He has. See for yourself.
He points to a nearby computer screen, showing Bonecrusher and Quickstrike - both in their Robot Forms - firing at the base.
CHEETOR
Bonecrusher? No. I don't believe it.
He goes over to the exit elevator.
SILVERBOLT
Where are you going?
CHEETOR
To learn the truth.
Cut to:
EXT. - MAXIMAL BASE. NIGHT.
Bonecrusher and Quickstrike are still firing. Their blasts are absorbed by Sentinel's shields.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Cheetor comes down on the entrance elevator.
CHEETOR
Bonecrusher! What are you doing?
BONECRUSHER
Think Airrazor'll like me now?
CHEETOR
What? You became a Predacon just so Airrazor would like you? Do you realize that she's going to try and kill you now? What were you thinking? How could you, Bonecrusher? How could you betray us? Your friends!
BONECRUSHER
Sorry, Cheetor, but hey - at least I beat that one human to the punch.
Cheetor lowers his head in sadness.
CHEETOR
Bonecrusher, you were one of my best friends. But now...I have no choice but to fight you. If I have to destroy you, Bonecrusher, then so be it!
QUICKSTRIKE
Sorry, partner, but if I was you, I'd be a bit more worried about my pretty little girlfriend.
THAT gets Cheetor's attention.
CHEETOR
What? What have you done with Natalie?
He doesn't wait for an answer; he RUNS for the shields. He hits the shield and pushes through it as hard as he can, until he's all the way through. He takes out both blasters and FIRES at Bonecrusher and Quickstrike. His blasts miss, but it's enough to cause the two Predacons to stop shooting at him as he runs past.
CHEETOR
(thinking)
Natalie, you had better be safe!
Fade out.
End Act Two.
ACT THREE
Fade in.
EXT. - FOREST TRAIL. NIGHT.
Cheetor's running as fast as he can through the forest, until he comes out on the hill overlooking the town. He stops when he sees smoke coming up from the town.
CHEETOR
Oh Primus, don't tell me.
He starts running again, going as fast as he can down the hill. He trips and falls and rolls the rest of the way.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Cheetor quickly climbs to his feet and hurries into the town.
CHEETOR
Natalie! Natalie!
He finally comes to the source of the smoke - a the burning remains of a small house. It's what's left of Natalie's house.
Back on: Cheetor.
He falls to his knees.
CHEETOR
She couldn't have - she can't be -
He stops and sniffs; he smells something.
CHEETOR
She got away. She's in the woods! Beast Form!
Cheetor - TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE.
He TRANSFORMS into his Beast Form and takes off for the forest.
Cut to:
EXT. - FOREST. NIGHT.
Natalie's running through the forest as fast as she can. She looks behind her; there's no sign of her pursuer.
NATALIE
I think I lost him.
She doesn't see where she's going, and she runs into a large oak tree. The impact knocks Natalie to the ground.
NATALIE
Oh, my head.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Spittor - Beast Form - leaps next to Natalie.
SPITTOR
Buenos noches, senorita.
Natalie tries to back away, but she gets caught in some thorns.
NATALIE
Oh no.
SPITTOR
It's a simple thing I ask, senorita. Give me the Energon crystal, and I'll make your death swift.
CHEETOR (O. S.)
NATALIE!
Cheetor SLAMS into Spittor from the side. The two of them start rolling. Cheetor CLAWS at Spittor's face and tries to bite down on his neck.
Spittor manages to leap off Cheetor.
SPITTOR
Spittor, Terrorize.
CHEETOR
Cheetor, Maximize!
Spittor, Cheetor - TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCES.
They TRANSFORM into their Robot Forms.
Cheetor makes the first move; he CHARGES for Spittor and gets him with a punch to the gut, followed by an uppercut to the chin. Spittor quickly recorvers and knocks Cheetor's feet out from under him. Before Cheetor can recover, Spittor kicks him several times in the gut, causing Cheetor to cough up some mech fluid.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Spittor takes a few steps back from Cheetor. He readies his blaster.
SPITTOR
I heard you were fast, el gato. But you don't seem so swift to me.
CHEETOR
Yeah, you say that now that you got a gun pointed at my head, huh?
SPITTOR
Well, you do put up a decent fight.
CHEETOR
You mess with my friends and you mess with me.
SPITTOR
Ooh, is that anger I hear in your voice?
CHEETOR
Maybe it is.
SPITTOR
Haven't you heard? Anger makes you stupid. And stupid -
He gets ready to fire.
SPITTOR
Stupid makes you dead.
Back on: Natalie.
She finally manages to get loose of the thorns and runs over to the two robots. She puts herself between Cheetor and Spittor -
Just as Spittor FIRES.
CHEETOR
(gasps)
Blood starts coming out of the corners of Natalie's mouth. She looks down at her stomach; a hole's been blasted through her.
SPITTOR
Oops. Wrong target.
(evil chuckle)
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Natalie starts to fall to the ground. Cheetor quickly catches her.
CHEETOR
Natalie, no.
SPITTOR
Adios, cabron.
He returns to his Beast Form and hops away, just as Optimus, Air Hammer, and Tigatron arrive. They all stop when they see Cheetor holding Natalie in his arms.
CHEETOR
Natalie, hold on. We're gonna fix you right up.
(to Optimus)
Right?
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
I'm sorry, Cheetor. I don't think there's anything we can do.
CHEETOR
No! There has to be something! The R Chamber, SOMETHING!
NATALIE
(weakly)
Cheetor, it's alright.
CHEETOR
No it's not. That blast was for me; I'm the one who was supposed to take it. You've got your whole life ahead of you. We'll fix this, I promise.
NATALIE
Don't make promises you cannot keep, Cheetor.
She coughs up some blood.
NATALIE
I'm mortal; I was going to die anyway.
CHEETOR
But this is too early and not how it was supposed to happen.
NATALIE
Maybe not. But Cheetor, always remember...
She pulls him down to her.
NATALIE
(weakly)
I...love...you.
Her arm falls to the ground, and her head rolls back; she's dead.
Back on: Cheetor.
He straightens up again; the side of his face is now covered in blood. He shakes Natalie's body.
CHEETOR
Natalie? Natalie?
TIGATRON
I'm sorry, Little Cat. She's gone.
Cheetor raises his head to look in the direction Spittor went. His face in contorted in rage. He puts Natalie's body on the ground, stands, and TRANSFORMS into his Beast Form before running off at top speed.
AIR HAMMER
Cheetor! Wait!
Optimus puts a hand on his shoulder.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
No, Air Hammer. It's best if we leave him alone for right now. The most we can do is at least lay the girl to rest.
Cut to:
EXT. - FOREST TRAIL. NIGHT.
Cheetor's running as fast as he can down the trail. His face and eyes are still showing great anger and sorrow.
CHEETOR
(thinking)
That frog. He's going to pay.
The forest begins to thin; he skids to a stop when he sees Spittor - Robot Form - standing on the edge of a cliff. Spittor turns to him.
SPITTOR
I was wondering when you would show.
Cheetor TRANSFORMS into his Robot Form. He just stares at Spittor.
SPITTOR
Nothing to say?
Cheetor takes out his Quasar Cannon, aims it at Spittor, and FIRES. The blast hits Spittor square in the chest, sending him reeling. Spittor recovers, holding his chest.
SPITTOR
So, there IS some fight in you.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Cheetor CHARGES for Spittor. Spittor steps to the side and clotheslines Cheetor, knocking him to the ground. Cheetor quickly climbs back to his feet and fires at Spittor again. This time, his shot misses.
Spittor takes out a dagger and comes at Cheetor. Cheetor grabs Spittor's arm and knocks the dagger out of his hand, then puts the barrel of the Quasar Cannon in his face. He pulls the trigger. CLICK. No ammo.
SPITTOR
Shame, that.
Cheetor throws the gun to the side and PUNCHES Spittor in the face several times. Spittor grabs Cheetor's fist and pushes it back, then headbutts Cheetor, knocking him off kilter. He kicks Cheetor back.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Cheetor takes out his sword and CHARGES at Spittor. He gets ready to run Spittor through. Spittor grabs the blade of Cheetor's sword and pushes it to the side. They circle each other as they both push against the sword.
CHEETOR
You killed her. You killed her in cold blood, you murderous freak!
SPITTOR
A minor bonus. My target was you.
CHEETOR
SHUT UP!
He manages to pry his sword out of Spittor's hands, slicing them open. He SLASHES, cutting Spittor's chest, then sticks the blade into Spittor's gut. Spittor's face contorts in agony.
SPITTOR
(in pain)
Is it really worth it, Cheetor? It will just leave you cold and empty, you know?
Cheetor positions Spittor at the edge of the cliff, then KICKS him off of his sword. Spittor falls, SMASHING against some rocks as he does. He lands in a heap at the bottom of the cliff.
Back on: Cheetor.
He takes out his spare blaster and FIRES at Spittor. Each blast hits him, doing even more damage.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
Air Hammer - Robot Form - hurries over to Cheetor and grabs his arm, lowering his blaster.
AIR HAMMER
That's enough! That's enough, Cheetor! He's dead! You've done enough!
Cheetor drops the blaster and looks at Air Hammer. His anger's faded away; now he looks disoriented.
CHEETOR
Air Hammer?
AIR HAMMER
Yeah, dude. It's me.
CHEETOR
What happened? Where am I?
AIR HAMMER
Okay, okay. Let's just calm down, dude.
CHEETOR
Wait. Natalie - is she really -
AIR HAMMER
Afraid so, dude. We just buried her; it seemed like the right thing to do.
Cheetor looks back down at Spittor's broken body.
CHEETOR
That slagging frog. He -
AIR HAMMER
It's okay, dude. He's dead now.
He ushers Cheetor away from the cliff.
AIR HAMMER
Come on. You've been here long enough, dude.
Fade to:
EXT. - HILLTOP. NIGHT.
Cheetor, Optimus, Tigatron, and Air Hammer are standing around a makeshift grave. Cheetor places two sticks into it; he's made them into a small cross.
OPTIMUS PRIMAL
I'm sorry, Cheetor. I know how much the girl meant to you.
TIGATRON
It's like you told me before, Cheetor: It's never easy to bury a friend.
Cheetor doesn't respond for a moment; it looks like he's about to burst into tears.
CHEETOR
I wonder if robots cry.
He turns to walk away.
CHEETOR
I'm sorry, guys. I need to be alone.
He walks away, into the forest.
Fade to:
INT. - MAXIMAL BASE - CHEETOR'S ROOM - PRESENT DAY. NIGHT.
Cheetor and Natalie's ghostly figure are both sitting on the cot.
NATALIE
How long did you walk?
CHEETOR
I was in such an angry and depressed state that I don't remember. But I'll never forget the time we spent together. And I've always wanted to bring you back, but Optimus says that's not possible; he told me that Energon unfortunately doesn't work like that for humans. So it's like that hole that was made inside me when you died has been made even bigger.
NATALIE
I know someone who can fill that gap.
CHEETOR
What? Who?
NATALIE
You know her very well. You watch over her, protect her, and on more than one occassion said that you would give your life for her.
CHEETOR
Are you talking about Victoria? You're actually suggesting -
NATALIE
It's not my place to decide who you love. You've already let her in, Cheetor. But let her in more. After all, isn't she one of your closest and best friends?
CHEETOR
Well, yeah.
(sighs)
Natalie, I really miss you.
NATALIE
And I miss you too, Cheetor. But it's time to move on.
CHEETOR
I've tried. But something keeps bringing me back. Memories, I suppose. I suppose I'll never forget.
NATALIE
Neither will I. I have to go now, Cheetor.
CHEETOR
Do you have to?
NATALIE
I told you before - a spirit can only be in the physical world for a short amount of time. Goodbye, Cheetor.
She fades away.
CHEETOR
Goodbye...Natalie.
Once Natalie's completely faded away, he heads over to the door. He opens it and steps out into the hallway.
ANOTHER ANGLE.
He stops outside a room. He slowly opens the door - it's Victoria's room. She's fast asleep on her cot.
CHEETOR
(thinking)
Maybe Natalie's right. Maybe I should let Victoria in even more.
A little smile crosses his face.
CHEETOR
Sleep well, Victoria.
He closes the door, and we:
Fade out.
End Act Three.
