Lana knocks on the door of Samus' dressing room.
Samus:
Who is it?
Lana opens the door, and she and Jo walk into the dressing room. Jo closes the door. (Anybody can do the door sounds.)
Samus:
Hey, I'm changing!
Lana:
You're not this modest on your website.
Samus:
Who the hell ARE you?
Lana:
I'm Lana Deschain, the Princess of Videoland.
Jo:
And I'm Joanna Dark.
Samus:
How'd you get past the guards?
Jo:
I beat them to a bloody pulp.
Lana:
She's exaggerating. She knocked them unconscious and stuck 'em in a closet.
Samus:
(sighing)
If you want autographs, you could've waited, like everyone else, until I came back outside.
Lana:
Actually, autographs WOULD be cool, but we really came here for another reason.
Samus:
Which is?
Lana:
You know of the League of Darkness, right?
Samus:
Who DOESN'T know of them?
Lana:
Well, I'm putting together a team to fight them and to find my father. I'd like you to join.
Samus:
Sorry, I work alone.
Lana:
I'll pay you.
Samus:
How much?
Lana:
(pausing for a moment to think)
Thirty-thousand credits per successful mission.
Samus:
(laughing)
You've gotta be kidding me! I make around three times as much bounty-hunting!
Lana:
Then how much do you want from me?
Samus pushes Lana against a wall and traps her there, her hands pressed on the wall on both sides of Lana.
Samus:
I'll tell you how much you'll give me after each mission, and you WON'T refuse. I know what you have on your website, and I
know you'll do anything - pay any price - to keep me from ratting on you to the cops. I OWN you. Do you understand?
Lana:
(surprised)
Wha-What?
Samus:
(more forceful)
Do you UNDERSTAND?
Lana:
Y-Yes.
Samus:
Do we have a deal?
Lana:
(starting to cry)
Y-Yes.
Samus:
Good.
Samus pulls away.
Jo:
(whispering to Lana)
Are you daft?
Lana:
(whispering to Jo)
I guess.
Ten-second pause, except for the sound of Samus signing her name twice.
Samus:
Here's my autograph, kid.
Lana:
(bitterly)
Thanks.
Samus:
One for you, too, Joanna.
Jo:
Call me Jo.
Samus:
Fine. You two can call me Sam.
(short pause)
So, what time are we going to Megaland?
Five-second pause.
Lana:
Oh, shit!
(short pause)
I forgot to tell Roll when to open the warp! What are we gonna do NOW?!
Jo:
I guess we better go to the street corner and wait.
Lana:
(sighing)
Yeah. Roll will keep trying.
Samus:
(chuckling, mocking)
Lead us, Your Highness.
Lana:
(whispering)
Shut up.
