Aztec Treasure 7

Test

Anna is standing on the docks, staring out at the water. Robert walks by. He sees her and approaches.

Robert: You know, it's not a good idea for a woman to be on the waterfront at night alone.

Anna: I'm trained in self-defense Robert. (She turns to him) One thing I don't have any defense against is that look on your face.

Robert: You seem to be doing quite well. (He turns to leave)

Anna: Robert? This unholy alliance that the three of us have (referring to her, Robert and Sean) ...it tends to make me forget that you're a police commissioner.

Robert: Mm.

Anna: As police commissioner, do I have to ask your permission if I want to leave Port Charles?

Robert: Yes you do.

Anna: Well, I can't stand this look in your eyes anymore and I want to leave.

Robert: Not until we find that wretched treasure.

Anna: I think you're standing on your head to protect Sean.

Robert: Since you're involved with him, you're included in that.

Anna: Well, I would trade that protection.

Robert: For what?

Anna: Just a little bit of kindness.

Robert: Oh, if only I could manage it. (He goes to leave and turns) Anna?

Anna: Yes.

Robert: I don't like the idea of my leaving a woman down here alone.

Anna: Oh please.

Robert: Perhaps there's more to talk about. Would you like to have dinner with me?

Anna: (shocked) What?

Robert: I'll walk you back to the Port Charles hotel. You can get cleaned up and I'll meet you downstairs. I need a change of clothes myself.

Anna: (smiles) Me too. After all you've said, I can't see any reason why you would want to eat with me.

Robert: Call it protective custody.
