Devil Scene (2)
The Devil Monkhouse clicks his fingers. The computer comes to life with the seductive jingle of Windows Millennium.
DEVIL MONKHOUSE (Reading): Article 911. - Subsection B. Paragraph 2. The client hereby declares the words love, joy and spiritual pleasure will be expunged from any given materials.
(Turning to Writer Sheikh) - We made things very clear to you. We saved you a lot of trouble. We paid your mortgage - your last holiday in Vietnam. - That picture of the orchids by Robert Mapplethorpe.
As he speaks, the Devil Monkhouse takes a glass from the briefcase.
DEVIL MONKHOUSE (Addressing the Jihadis): I used to love my job. - 40 days and 40 nights, without respite. The historic fight between good and evil. – The challenge thrown down by his kind. – It was all so much more interesting. – And then I made the mistake of inventing the monetary system. Life became too easy.
The Devil Monkhouse slides the glass over to the Writer Sheikh, who is forlornly staring into the middle distance.
DEVIL MONKHOUSE (As he leaves): The infringement was automatically registered. – Call your sister to say goodbye.
