Elizabeth's Forced Confession

[The scene opens up in a small clearing by the great Amazon River, the small ripples along the beach creating a small lapping sound, creating a mood of perfect serenity and calmness. We see our very own Elizabeth Quatermain slowly sliding from her tent; her leg bandaged slightly from her recent encounter with a native puma wild cat and sees our very own Rodney Skinner sleeping gently resting beside her own tent flap entrance.]

[Elizabeth lets a small smile play on her face as music gently begins to play in the background as a small flashback plays with string instruments beginning to play. It shows Elizabeth slowly growing courage as she reaches down and gives Skinner a quick kiss on his invisible forehead. Skinner, dumbfounded, sends her off with a sweet goodnight. The music begins to grow louder as the flashback ends and Elizabeth shakes her head quickly and paces off quietly to another side of the clearing, little does she know she is being followed by two shadows.]

[She sits on a stump covered with soft moss as Mina and Sawyer appear from out of no where.]

Tom: Care to let off what's on your mind Elizabeth

Elizabeth: (startled) Oh! No Tom, I couldn't sleep so I left for a bit of fresh air.

Mina: I truly think that you are lying to us Elizabeth.

[Music slowly heightens to a point as Elizabeth finally gives up and stands walking around Tom and Mina her hands clasped in front of her in almost a prayer like state, a troubled and confused look is portrayed on her face. She begins to walk around the stump where Mina and Sawyer are now sitting.]

Elizabeth: If there's a prize for rotten judgment,
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation,

[Drops her hands and begins to walk away, her arms down and head slightly drooped as if she finally gives up, her voice growing in the process.]

That's ancient history, been there done that.

Tom and Mina: (smiling and pointing toward her as if stating the obvious)Who'd you think you're kidding
He's the earth and heaven to you
You try to keep it hidden [Hands grip tightly around her as if she needs to hold some-
Honey we can see right through you thing. Her voice full of inward pain and rising gradually.]
Girl can't conceive it Elizabeth: Ooooooohhhhhhh nooooooooooo
we know how you're feeling

[Slight pause, both smirking at each other and pointing toward Elizabeth with mirth playing on their faces as they stand, their voices rising in unison.]

And who you're thinking of!

[Elizabeth does one quick turn, a look of surprise on her face as she blushes and turns to trot away quickly and hide it, wrapping her arm around a nearby tree and slowly spinning around it, her eyes distant and clear. Sawyer and Mina smile and chase her around, Mina on her left side of the tree and Sawyer on her right catching her and forcing her to change direction each time she encounters one of them.] Elizabeth: Oh, no chance, no way, I won't say it, no noooooo. Tom and Mina: Shoo woop ooooooooooooooo

Tom: (pretends to faint, a smile playing on his face.) You swoon,

Mina: (Bats her eyes in an almost mocking manner.) You sigh.
Both: Why deny it? Uh ohhhhhhh

[Dodges from their trap and away from the tree in a graceful, pivot, step, and turn. She then throws her hands toward them in a begging motion her voice ringing, but this time there is more of a happiness in her tone.]

Tom and Mina: (Voices growing gradually)

Elizabeth: It's too cliché I won't say I'm in love. Ahhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhh!

[She's still trying to avoid Tom and Mina who are pressing her more and more. She walks along the river letting her feet trail in the small wake it leaves on the sand a smile on her face as she begins to twirl with her arms above her head, slowly and gracefully dancing.]

Elizabeth: I thought my heart had learned it's lesson Tom and Mina: (Voices going up and down with the music.)
It feels so good when you start out. Oooooooooooooooooooooo! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
(grips her head in confusion, the smile leaving her face and the bemused expression taking its place) My head is saying get a grip girl
Unless you're dying to

All: Cry your heart out!

[Tom runs at her and picks her up in a twirl as he places her on the tree stump again as Mina races behind her gripping her shoulders in a loving gesture and singing near her ear while Elizabeth looks out toward the water as flash backs begin to play in her mind.]

Tom and Mina: You keep on denying Elizabeth: Whoaaahhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Who you are and how you're feeling

[Flash back of Skinner showing her the dolphins]

Baby we're not buying
Hon we saw you hit the ceiling Elizabeth: Ooooooohhhhhhhh noooooooooo

[Skinner pulling her from the water then cradling her back to camp.]

Face it like a grown up
Where you're gonna hold up that you got

Mina: Got!

Tom: Got it BAD!

[Elizabeth has closed her eyes during this process and hasn't realized the large smile playing on her face. She suddenly snaps out of it and pushes Tom and Mina away, walking toward the water once more, the moon shining of her as she stares up toward it and the stars around it.]

Elizabeth: Oh, no chance no way, I won't say it no noooooo Tom and Mina: Shooo woop shoo wooppppp

[Tom and Mina race back behind her each looping one arm around hers as they turn her back to the stump, leading her in awkward circles.]

Tom: Give up,
Mina: Give in,
Both: Check the grin you're in love.

[Elizabeth takes on a stubborn defensive pose, her voice rising in the next line as she slumps down, a smirk playing upon her face.]

Elizabeth: The scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love!

[Tom uses all his weight to pick her up again, flipping her in the air quickly and catching her in a pose. Elizabeth stumbles from his grasp, a shocked expression on her face.]
Tom: You're doing flips, read my lips you're in love.

Elizabeth: You're way off base, I won't say it.
(Pushes him playfully her voice strong now and resolute.)
Get off my case, I won't say it.

Mina: Girl, don't be proud (Bats her eyes again.)
Its okay you're in love

[Elizabeth finally smiles as she realized they have danced her right back to camp and she is standing looking down upon the sleeping form of Skinner.
Elizabeth: (Bends down and slowly brings a blanket to cover Skinner.) At least out loud...
I won't say I'm in......love

[The music fades out with the sound of Mina and Sawyer in the back ground looking at each other and giving a slight wink as they see the look in Elizabeth's eyes as she smiles at Skinner before going to her tent as the music finally ends.]
