Refuse. If you’re gonna threaten to kill yourself over me, go kill yourself.
PAUL
That’s not what-
RANDY
I’m gonna stay with Ange for a few days, I guess.
PAUL
NO! Not her you can’t-
RANDY
I don’t wanna hear it! You’re jealous, fine, be a man and deal with rejection!
RANDY goes to exit to the bedroom but ANGE enters the main door wearing a trench coat with one arm ripped off. She has one arm visible, in which she is holding a gun. The jacket shoulder area on the other side is bloody and oily.
PAUL
Jesus!
PAUL jumps to the floor, flings the coffee table on its side for cover. ANGE takes a few shots and dives behind the couch. PAUL pulls out a gun, they start to fire at one another.
RANDY
What- No- Why- STOP!
RANDY runs in between them, they both immediately stop.
ANGE
Randy, you idiot, get the Hell out of the line of fire!
RANDY
Oh thank God you didn’t shoot me!
PAUL
You never run in the line of fire!
RANDY
I know but- You were shooting and I didn’t know what to do.
ANGE
Running towards the hail of gunfire is always the wrong idea!
RANDY
It worked!
ANGE
Move out of the way Randy this isn’t my good arm.
RANDY
Don’t do anything-
ANGE
I can’t aim as well with this arm Randy I don’t want to hit you.
RANDY
I don’t want you to hit anyone!
ANGE
Stealing my shooting arm. Can’t say I expect any less from something like you.
RANDY
That’s your-
PAUL
Worked didn’t it.
ANGE
Not many could yank my arm clean out of the socket-
RANDY
Ange… Ange… You’re a kill bot? Paul was telling the truth?
ANGE
I doubt it, but if he said he was from the future-
PAUL
I told him the truth!
ANGE
He thinks I’m a robot-
PAUL
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck-
RANDY
Ange are you or are you not a Robot!
ANGE
No I’m not. Not exactly.
RANDY
The fuck does that mean!?
ANGE
I’m a human with cybernetic enhancements.
PAUL
Aka Robot-
ANGE
Cyborg!
PAUL
Abomination! Do you even know where your brain stops and your control programming kicks in?
ANGE
I could ask you the same question you reprogrammed, indoctrinated, technophobe! Randy… my arm.
PAUL
Don’t listen to her Randy.
ANGE
Please.
PAUL
No!
ANGE
Throw me my arm. We’ll talk and I’ll set the record straight, you’ve been lied to.
PAUL
If you do that she’ll kill us both-
ANGE
My aim’s bad but I could take him out easy standing where he is Paul and you know it. I haven’t taken the shot because I want him alive. If he dies I can’t get pregnant and Glorious Leader might never exist.
RANDY
You’re the mother!?
PAUL
Don’t listen to her she’s lying!
ANGE
I’ve never lied to you Randy-
RANDY
You have a metal arm! You’re a cyborg from the future!
ANGE
You never asked me if I had a metal arm or if I was a cyborg from the future!
RANDY
That’s not a thing normal people ask one another!
ANGE
See I never told you I wasn’t a cyborg from the future-
PAUL
It’s a lie of omission!
ANGE
Like how you omitted that your group are in the minority of people who feel Randy Junior is mega mecha Hitler and how humanity is enslaved and running on hamster wheels to power the machines that enslave them-
RANDY
Human battery, like the Matrix, but yeah that’s mostly what I heard!
PAUL
It’s easy to seem like you agree with a dictator when you’re his slave !
ANGE
We elected, we consented, to hardwire ourselves. Randy junior is a savior. He’s a mega mecha Jesus not Hitler!
PAUL
You’re incapable of free thought-
ANGE
Randy give me my arm.
PAUL
Don’t!
RANDY
If I give you the arm do you promise not to hurt Paul?
ANGE
If I have my arm back I can promise Paul won’t be
