MY GOD, NO! NOOOOOOOO! He pushes QUINN aside and rescues his book. FITZ falls to his knees and frantically puts out the flames. The curtain drops on PENELOPE, the camera switches off and she disappears. QUINN turns off the blowtorch and walks back to the trestle table and puts the blowtorch back. BURNS suddenly spits a mouthful of whiskey into QUINN’s face. QUINN grabs at his eyes as BURNS punches him in the head. The two begin to fight badly. DUNNE walks up to a sobbing FITZ as he tries to put the book back together.
FITZ. She would have grown up retarded, mind you. QUINN. She would have grown up in power. DUNNE. She’d be the keeper of the pot. QUINN. Exactly! She’d be the keeper of the pot. DUNNE. Fascinating read! QUINN. Lovely pictures! FITZ. Which is the reason why I’d miss reading! It’s that type of mental stimulation, that access to ideas and colour and character! ) I imagine a hellish jelly! Absolutely hellish! And yet for all of that there’s still a lot of pluses to senility as it’s such a huge effort to maintain the fight, isn’t that right, boys?
DUNNE’s on. He steps up to a microphone and looks to the camera. In seduction, DUNNE is even more outlandishly theatrical. DUNNE. You wake! And down the hill across the cove, through my little blue door, into my Crackerbread house… I too awake, Penel… ope. Somehow your first morning’s breath rides the treacherous wind and finds its way to my own nose and awakens me! ) And it is a fine breath! Not the claggy-acid-breath of a stomach made stagnant by a night’s sleep… the type of breath that could peel a hard-boiled egg… oh fuck, no!
