Revenge will be the only way to dignify your pain. It’s in your blood now. And you’ll come after me to hurt me, humiliate me, abuse me, and, even, kill / me –

HAMILTON: … and then what?

Elena stops, surprised by the question.

She opens her mouth to answer, but nothing comes out. She frowns, searches for an answer …

HAMILTON: And then what?

(beat)

No. (in a whisper) No.

Hamilton turns away from Elena.

Beat.

LAMB (O.S.): Gadjemo!

Elena doesn’t move.

One of the walls reveals a figure standing behind it: THE YOUNG GIRL, wearing a filthy purple dress.

Elena sees Hamilton now through the gaze of the Young Girl: she sees a man suffering, in pain, a victim.

And before our eyes, without a sound or a tear or even a gesture, the fire that burns through Elena is snuffed out.

LAMB (O.S.): (impatient) Gadjemo!

Elena doesn’t move.

Moment.

The Young Girl turns to look at Elena.

Elena turns to look at the Young Girl.

Their eyes meet and –

BLACKOUT.
