SCENE 23

POLLY and MAC on the street. MAC whistles for a cab.

POLLY

Satisfied?

MAC

With what?

POLLY

Me. Are you satisfied with how I did? I know that was a test. Telling Pork in front of me that you didn’t need him, so I’d think he wouldn’t be there to back you up.

MAC

Was he there?

POLLY

I don’t know. But that was the point. Me not knowing so I’d think you were all alone. And that was the test, right? To see if I’d come through for you.

MAC

Don’t be upset. It was just to see if you had the knack, nothing more, really. I mean it’s one thing to talk about it …

POLLY

And if I didn’t have “the knack”?

MAC

(producing a gun) There was always this …

POLLY

Anyway, now you know for sure. I won’t just die for you … I can kill for you too.

MAC

In other words, you’re perfect.

They continue on.

Blackout.
