Summary: A short script-style dialogue between Ian Nottingham and Sara Pezzini...This is just one of those writer's block,
spur of the moment things, so it probably sucks! PLEASE let me know what
you think!
SETTING: Outside the precinct in the parking lot. Nottingham called her
outside to speak with her, and she has complied. The two had been talking
for a while, when Nottingham decides to bring up the matter of his deceased
master...
Ian: You know, Sara, when you killed my father...
Pez: Your father?! I thought he was your master!
Ian: Is not one's father his master in any given manner?
Pez: WHAT?!
Ian: Nevermind...
Pez: Heh...'nevermind,' he says...
Ian: (losing his patience) You know, Sara...(sigh) as I was saying, Sara,
when you killed my 'father,' I was blinded by utter hate and rage...you had
murdered my creator...
Pez: (mouths in the midst of Ian's sentence) CREATOR?!
Ian: ...but as time went on, my memory of that day resurfaced, over and
over - each time bringing new details into light. The most recent being the
one - along with a 'dream,' a vision, I had - that has altered my position
on the matter at hand.
Pez: (Narrows eyes at Nottingham) What are you saying, Nottingham? What
'vision'?
Ian: In a previous lifetime - or perhaps, in the near future - I died for
you, Sara. To protect you...I loved you then, Sara Pezzini.
Pez: (mutters) Gotta've been a creepy kind of love...
Ian: Nevertheless, Sara, when I noticed my...father...pull the Blade
through his own throat...my anger with you lessened greatly. It made me
(taps forehead hard) think, Sara...
Pez: (annoyed) About what Nottingham?
Ian: About...things. You. Me. The Blade....Eternity.
Pez: (In a fearful whisper) Why?
Ian: Because, Sara, after all of this I...(pause) I hated you, Sara, when I
had to. Loved you when fury and prejudice was unneccesary.
Pez: (Skeptically) We still talking about this 'other lifetime',
Nottingham?
Ian: No, Sara. I speak of the present.
Pez: (Jaw drops)
Ian: When warranted, Sara - I seek my retribution...But it is in those moments in between the retribution; those rare, unguarded moments that my true feelings lie.
Pez: (Whispers) And that's...
Ian: I love you, Sara..In those unguarded moments. I love you with my
entire body, soul and spirit...
(Ian moves closer to Sara and she smiles shyly.)
Pez: (Whispers) Say that again, Nottingham...
(Ian looks confused)
Ian: Say what again, Lady Sara?
(Sara raises an eyebrow and grins fiendishly)
Pez: You know exactly what I'm talking about Nottingham. Now...say it
again...
Ian: I love you...Sara Pezzini.
(Ian and Sara both grin. Sara pulls Nottingham down to her height and
delivers a kiss.)
Pez: I was wondering when you'd get up the stones to say that...(smirks)
Ian: Well, Lady Sara...you have to wait no longer...
(They kiss again...end of scene.)
