Posted by NPW on 9/3/2003, 9:49 pm MEGAERA [to someone off camera]: Tashiaki Shirakawa? I don't know what to say about him. He seems pretty innocent so far. Harmless. How am I supposed to hate him when he hasn't actually done anything wrong? The guy seems honourable. TISIPHONE [in agreement]: He can't be too bad - he did suggest Ginza earlier, right? I got that cool kimono! We have to get back- ALEKTO [annoyed]: We're not here to discuss shopping. MEGAERA: So basically I'm standing here because I'm supposed to expound on the reasons I hate Shirakawa when there's nothing I can hate him about? He seems to be the only respectable opponent around here! OFF-CAMERA VOICE: At least say something about him! MEGAERA: Fine. Shirakawa? Good luck. [She turns to leave.] OFF-CAMERA VOICE: What about Flare? [Megaera blinks for a moment, confused. Her expression changes to one of realisation as it occurs to her that she has another opponent, going after her newly-acquired Television Title. She offers a shrug.] [Tisiphone, standing just behind Megaera, and sticks out her little finger and thumb in a telephone receiver gesture and puts it to her ear. She mouths the words Flare, call me! and proceedes to also give out her phone number. Alekto punches her sister in the arm and resumes her cool marble-statue-like pose behind Megaera's left shoulder. Tisiphone sticks her tongue out at Alekto.] MEGAERA: Right, Flare. [Pause] Yeah, he's not bad, I guess. ALEKTO: That's it? [Megaera shrugs again, not having anything else to say, and walks off camera.] TISIPHONE [to Megaera]: Man, Shirakawa must have lost a bet to have to face you. I hear the guy's a legend. Hey, do you think he'd sign my b- ALEKTO [rolling her eyes]: Oh please! Give it a rest already. [Alekto shakes her head and follows Megaera from view. Tisiphone takes a quick look around to see if anyone's watching, and gets closer to the camera.] TISIPHONE: Flare? Flare, if you're watching this, ignore my sister. She gets like this sometimes. Personally, I think you're great! I love the hair! How do you get it like that? ALEKTO [off-camera]: Tisiphone! What in the name of Zeus are you doing?! Do you want Megaera to kill you? TISIPHONE: Flare, call me! [Fade out]

[Fade up the Furies, all seated on a black leather couch. Megaera, seated in the middle and toying with a pink rhododendron, looks irritated.]
