Type : Mostly monologue Characters : Arch Villain and Hero Scene : The master plan is revealed Complications : The Hero is strapped to a solar powered cotton gin and dawn is ten minutes away
Villain : "That's what they want you to think." Hero : "No. Those are the orders they gave me. I work for them." Villain : "I think it's fair to say we established that following orders is no longer an excuse, hero." Hero : "I have no intention of it being an excuse. I am proud to work for the state." Villain : "Are you proud to die for them too, hero?" Hero : "I made an oath." Villain : "And what's their end of the bargain? A paycheck?" Hero : "A man can not stand alone?" Villain : "But you will die alone. In exactly seven minutes when the sun rises, you will die alone." Hero : "Aren't you going to reveal your dastardly plans for world domination?" Villain : "No. I'm evil, not stupid. Instead, let me share with you that your precious State is already leaking your death to the media. You will be the new cause celebre. They will use your stupidity - your courage - to justify an invasion of Otheristan." Hero : "They wouldn't dare!" Villain : "They plan on testing the new sterilization bombs on the population. You know, the ones they told you they stopped researching?" Hero : "No! I had the president's personal guarantee!" Villain : "Yes, well. I've seen the munitions list and unless STER BOMBS is french for roses I think we're in for a low birth summer." Hero : "You're lying!" Villain : "Quite possibly. But then again, that's why I'm evil. I like to leave a man with four minutes to live the chance to ponder the horrible state in which he will leave the world." Hero : "So they're not bombing Otheristan?" Villain : "As I said, I'm going to leave you to piece that one out on your own. Goodbye, hero."
