Aztec Treasure 22

Test

Anna runs into Holly in the park.

Anna: Holly! (Holly stops dead, then slowly turns. Her expression becomes set, as Anna crosses over and stands before her.) Please. I must speak to you. I've been following you.

Holly: In training to become an agent again?

Anna: (shaking her head no) I've been trying to work up the courage to face you.

Holly: We have nothing more to say to one another.

Anna: I think we do. There was no affair, Holly. At no time have I tried to take your husband from you. Even if I had tried it would have been impossible.

Holly: Is that what you wanted to tell me? Your hands are clean? Well, fine, Anna. Now there are several things I must do before I leave today, so if that's it, I'll be going.

Anna: No! You can't go away without believing what I've told you.

Holly: Now you're asking too much. Besides, it doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. You're not the sickness, you're only a symptom.

Anna: (frustrated) How do I get through to you?

Holly: I don't know. But I don't think it's important that you do.

Anna: Robert won't give you up. He'll follow you wherever you go, Holly.

Holly: He won't find me.

Anna: He'll find you.

Holly: No, he won't. No one knows where I'm going, or even how I'm getting there.

Anna: You underestimate him.

Holly: Not at all, but I've learned a great deal from him. One thing I've learned is how to disappear completely.

Anna: But why?

Holly: I don't owe you any explanations. Besides, I couldn't give you a simple answer.

Anna: As soon as this treasure business if found, I'll be gone, long gone, and I assure you Robert won't even want to know where I've gone. He loves you.

Holly (beginning to lose her cool) Why are you saying all this to me?

Anna: For Robert's sake, and for your sake!

Holly: Among other things, you are a hypocrite.

Anna: Not about this. You don't know what you are throwing away.

Holly: But I do.

Anna: How can you be so cruel to Robert?

Holly: I could never be cruel to the Robert I thought I knew!

Anna: He's still the same man.

Holly: You still love him.

Anna: Yes. I never said I didn't love Robert... then or now. But it's hopeless for me. Don't you know that?

Holly: I don't think it's hopeless at all, Anna. Everything's going your way now.

Anna: That's not true.

Holly: No? You're here, Robert's here, and after today I won't be. (She's close to tears) I don't want to talk to you anymore. Enough is enough. You don't understand how lost I feel. (Anna turns and walks off frustrated)
