Act IV

Manticore

[Max is in her room with both hands and feet strapped on the bed. Barely conscious, she sees a tall dark-haired man with light-brown complected skin walk into the room Her eyes slightly opens, and seeing that he wasn't a doctor or any type of specialist, she relaxed. Suddenly, he starts talking, taking Max completely off guard]

Man: Whoa, what did you do to get yourself strapped on like that?

[Noticing that she is in no mood for verbal talk, he turns around and continues on with his work]

Max: Beat up a couple of guys smilin at me.

[He turns around]

Man: Really [Amused] well then, thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure that I don't give out weird facial expressions that might give you the wrong impression. [Sarcastically]

Max: Keep that in mind.

[With a short pause, he continues.]

Man: How long have you been here?

Max: Not quite sure...2 maybe 3 months. Everything is a little bit ha...zy.... [Max falling out of consciousness]

Man: Whoa! Be careful and relax [Placing his right hand on her forehead]

Max: I wish.

Man: You're kinda hot.

Man: No [Correcting her] I mean your temperature.

Max: Oh, well in that case [Barely embarrassed] pour on the cold water.

Man: I'm serious, I should call the doctor. [He turns around]

Man: Why? [Curious]

Max: They'll do things. Things I don't want them too. [Frightened]
