MUSIC
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 DOOR SLAMS
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 See if there's something to bar the door with!
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I can't see - it's too dim in 'ere!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 [outside]\xa0 YELLS!\xa0 THUMPING ON DOOR
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 [grunts, holding door shut]
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 They are right behind us!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 We should kill them.\xa0 Then they will never catch us.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 We gotta try and stay ahead of them.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 There's a box over here!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Can you move it in front of the door?
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Help me, someone!
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [plaintive] Is it heavy?
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 It's big.\xa0 Need to get it away from the wall.
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [uncertain] I'll help.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GRIND OF WOOD ON STONE
GRACE and ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [grunt, pushing]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SWOOSH OF BLADE
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [SCREAM, gurgle]
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [Scream of fear]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 BODY DROPS
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [whimpers, expires]
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [covering mouth, trying to stop screaming]
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [excited, but not afraid]\xa0 She is dead!
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [hiccuppy gasp, gets control]\xa0 That blade just came out of the wall when we pushed the box!
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [to Grace] You come with me.\xa0 We will 'old the door and let monsieur look.\xa0 [up to him]\xa0 Je ne sais - eh - we do not even know your name!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Garth.\xa0 Garth Jenkins.\xa0
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I am Amelie.\xa0 [hinting] And this is--?
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [almost composed again, but still sniffling] Grace.\xa0 I can't believe it.\xa0 [starting to lose it again] How could something like that... happen..?
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 'ere.\xa0 Lean on the door with me.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well...\xa0 Stay back, ladies.
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I can see perfectly well from here.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ok.\xa0 She's dead, all right.\xa0 That blade must have been on a tripwire of some kind.
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 It cut her nearly in half.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 What is this tripwire you speak of?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 A trap.\xa0 He said there would be traps.\xa0 I guess you need to know why we're here...

LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 [muttered, in pain] Mamma mia!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Wowsers.\xa0 My aching head.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [snort of indignation]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CHAINS RATTLE
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hey now!\xa0 This is an outrage!\xa0 Who are you to do this-a to me!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Do what?\xa0 I can't see a thing.\xa0 What's someone doing?
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [calm, superior] Someone has locked us all in chains.
- CHNOSSOS [over intercom] Yes. [evil chuckle] You are all my prisoners.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Wowsers!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 It is an outrage!
- CHNOSSOS Yes, yes. I am outrageous.\xa0
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 [to doc] You should let us go.\xa0 The American government won't like this one bit.\xa0 No sir.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 [to doc] You watch yourself, funny guy!\xa0 You come-a let us out now, and maybe we don\u2019t-a kill you dreadful!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shut up!\xa0 [they do] I wish to hear what this man has to say.
- CHNOSSOS Very good. I said I am your captor, and this is true.\xa0
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hey!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Outrage!
- CHNOSSOS I have brought you here to play my game. [evil chuckle] I thought that would silence you.\xa0 I am Doctor Chnossos.\xa0 Perhaps you have heard of me?\xa0 [waits, no reply, then grumpy]\xa0 Probably for the best.\xa0 I am a secretive genius.\xa0 [upbeat again] You see, I have it in mind to find the perfect male human specimen in the entire world, and have narrowed it down to you three.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Specimen?\xa0 I ain't no specimen!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Mamma mia!\xa0 Look no further!\xa0 I am the strongest man alive!\xa0 No one can stand before me!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [musing] Fascinating.
- CHNOSSOS Through exhaustive research, I have narrowed it down to you. Garth Jenkins, All-American football star, Olympic runner, and gold medal swimmer.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 I can hold my breath for three minutes!
- CHNOSSOS Luigi Marconi, European strongman and champion wrestler.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I snap you like a twig!
- CHNOSSOS And Klaus Heinz, fencing master, ace pilot, and big game hunter.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Really?
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Pilot, like the Red Baron?
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 I see no point in denying it.
- CHNOSSOS The game is simple. See who makes it out of my little labyrinth alive.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Wowsers!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hmph.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Santa Maria!
- CHNOSSOS There is only one exit. Somewhere out there in my maze.\xa0 And only one of you may leave.\xa0 [ominous] Ever.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You want us to... kill each other?
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm not-a that kind of feller.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 It could not be so simple.
- CHNOSSOS You are right. It is not that simple.\xa0 I do not care who dies, only who escapes.\xa0 Kill or do not kill - that is no concern of mine.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Good.
- CHNOSSOS BUT... whichever ones are left inside will surely die, for I will seal the door the minute an escape is made.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Of course.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Dios mio!
- CHNOSSOS And, of course, my beloved maze - it is full of traps!
MUSIC
- Box room
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 They 'ave stopped.\xa0 At the door.
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Should we open the door and look?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 I don't think so.\xa0 It could be a trap.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [cold] If what you say is true, this entire place is a trap.\xa0 I for one would rather die than fall into their hands, if they're anything like the fellows I saw [falters] before... before--
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 oh!\xa0 Moi aussi!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nobody's dying!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [snort]
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nobody else!
SUSANNE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [distant] [horrible screams!!!\xa0 THEY GO ON A LONG TIME]
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Mon dieu!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 We need weapons.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I wish she would stop!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well, I've checked everything I can think of on this box.\xa0 Looks like I can open it, though after what happened, I wish I had a good old pool cue or something to let me stay back.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 We will stay by the door.\xa0
GRACE \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Out of your way.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SLOW CREAK OPEN BOX
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 I just wish I knew what that crazy doctor wants with-- [breaks off in surprise]\xa0 What the hay?
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 What is it?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 The box is full of ... [a little worried] weapons.
MUSIC
- FLASHBACK DUNGEON
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why in blazes are you doing this?
- CHNOSSOS As I said, I must see who is the most perfect male. Since you each have your own strengths--
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Strength!\xa0 That is what I have.
- CHNOSSOS --there is no direct comparison except through competition. To begin with, those chains--
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CLANK, CLATTER AS CHAINS FALL AWAY
- CHNOSSOS --must come off. There is no contest in watching strong men starve to death.\xa0 Speak amongst yourselves.\xa0 I must go and prepare the next challenge. [evil laugh]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 NOISE TO INDICATE SPEAKING SYSTEM IS OFF
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You!\xa0 Fellows!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ja?
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Donchoo come-a no closer!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 See here, we should work together.\xa0 If there's danger here, cooperation will be the best thing for it.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [considering] But this voice - he said that only one can win.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 And that one - its'a gonna be me, by all the saints!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 That's all fine and dandy, but right now we're just three fellers in a dark room.\xa0 Let's at least stick together til we find a way out.\xa0 Or some light.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 DOOR GRATES OPEN
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 I think you get both of your wishes.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 KLAUS WALKS
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hey, not so fast!\xa0 It could be a trap!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 I think it is too early in the game for that.\xa0 No.\xa0 This is merely an opening move.\xa0 I will make the first counter move.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LUIGI GETS UP
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm-a gonna wait and see what happens to that bosch before I step up.\xa0 No sense a-both of us getting killed alla the same time, eh?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 It looks safe ...so far.

NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Weapons?\xa0 Guns?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 No, no guns.\xa0 Hold on.\xa0
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 STUFF BEING MOVED, JUST A LITTLE
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Huh. [almost a chuckle] A good old pool cue.\xa0 Stay back!
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why?\xa0 Should we not 'elp?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 I saw something move.\xa0 I'm gonna see what I can...
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SOMETHING FLOPS ON THE FLOOR
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 A whip!\xa0 I'll take that.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You know how to use it?
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I had a very unusual ... boyfriend.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 'Ow unusual?
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [laugh]\xa0 Oh!\xa0 Your face!\xa0 He worked with the circus.\xa0 Trained animals.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I don't suppose there might be a riding crop in there?\xa0 I'm a dab hand with close cuts.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Stay back!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THUMP ON THE DOOR
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 'Elp me 'old the door!
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [grunt, she throws herself against the door]\xa0 Find us something we can use - quickly!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THUMP ON THE DOOR

- CHNOSSOS Come in gentlemen. [evil chuckle] I can see that physical perfection is no guarantee of courage.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I ain't-a no coward - donchoo say that!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [from off] I think you had best come in here.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Come on.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'll a-go first.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 WALKING
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Holy moley!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Santa Maria!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Most charming, are they not?\xa0 Sleeping peacefully in their night shifts.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Look, here, you!\xa0 It's all very well to challenge us fellows, but this--
- CHNOSSOS The six ladies you see before you are the most beautiful women in the world.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 You ain't a-kidding!
- CHNOSSOS You might recall a recent article about the loss, at sea, of the boat carrying the finalists in the world beauty pageant?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Jumping jehosephat!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [aha] Of course!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 That explains-a everything!
- CHNOSSOS It was all a ruse - the boat DID sink, but not until I had "relieved" it of its lovely cargo.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 And the rest of the passengers and crew?
- CHNOSSOS Unnecessary. They went down with the ship.\xa0 Couldn't have anyone left behind to inform the authorities of my presence, could I?
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 What is the matter with the girls?\xa0 Why do they not awaken?
- CHNOSSOS Oh, it's been much easier to keep them drugged until now. They should be coming to any minute.\xa0 Before they do, I should tell you the rest of the rules of the game.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Game?\xa0 This ain't-a no game!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shh.\xa0 Let him talk.
- CHNOSSOS No one escapes without a woman. I need two perfect specimens - a male and a female.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 You sound like you plan to start a master race.
- CHNOSSOS I leave that to others. Each of you must choose one of the women for your companion.\xa0
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 What do we -uh- do with the girl?
- CHNOSSOS [juicy] Anything you like. But you must keep her alive until you find the exit.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Do you have to keep the same woman?\xa0
- CHNOSSOS Any woman will do. That's all the same to me.

SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 WHIP CRACK
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [vicious, excited] Let them.\xa0
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Here's a knife, and - oh!\xa0
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THUMP OF KNIFE INTO BOX
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Got it!
SOUND \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0THUMP ON DOOR
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gasp, strain] Got WHAT?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Something spidery.\xa0 Probably poisonous - that's why I'm taking this kinda slow!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SPIKE COMES CRUNCHING THROUGH DOOR
AMELIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gaspy scream]\xa0 Be more quick!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Let it open.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 All right.\xa0 On three, both of you, move over there, quick!\xa0 I don\u2019t want to lose nobody else.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THUMP, CRASH!

GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 What about the others?\xa0
- CHNOSSOS What?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 The other girls.\xa0 There's six of them and only three of us.\xa0 What happens to the others?
- CHNOSSOS [nasty wicked] Don't worry. They won't be alone for long.\xa0 [evil chuckle] You think I run this place single-handed?\xa0 I have a horde of ..."men" just waiting to [insinuating] make the ladies' acquaintance.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You fiend!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Very clever.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 You put this into our hands?\xa0 You make-a this all our fault!
- CHNOSSOS [taunting] Your fault? Why, no!\xa0 Think of it this way - you each get to save one of these ladies from their fate!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 A fate worse than death!
- CHNOSSOS Just because those left behind are.... mmm... doomed.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well, we won't leave any, will we?\xa0 [beat]\xa0 Will we?
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 It will make it very difficult to succeed, herding a flock of women through a maze.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 I like-a the ladies, but they can be a little hard to manage.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GIRLS BEGIN TO WAKEN
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You heels.\xa0 [up, to doc]\xa0 Hey!\xa0 What if we don't leave any of 'em behind?\xa0 What about that?
- CHNOSSOS You can make that choice if you want. And of course, should any of them die in the traps in this maze--
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Die?
- CHNOSSOS --and I assure you gentlemen, the traps are very very deadly! You might do well to take more than one, rather like a spare tire - since no one will make it out without a distaff partner.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nein.\xa0
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 No, Six.
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [exasperated sigh, then "duh"] No.\xa0 I will burden myself with only one.\xa0 Easier to watch over.\xa0
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [waking, very French]\xa0 Oh la la!\xa0 Ou et la?
LUIGI \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0But how do you propose to choose who gets a-which a-one?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 We should make up our minds now - before they all wake up and start a ruckus.
NATHALIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [russian-sounding mutter]
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 I have already decided.\xa0 I will have this blonde one.
SUSANNE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [waking up]\xa0 Oh!!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why's that?
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Simple.\xa0 She is the smallest.\xa0 Easiest to carry, should something happen.\xa0 You, girl.
SUSANNE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gasp, American]\xa0 What?\xa0 Where am I?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hey, you should leave her to me.\xa0 She's from the good old U-S of A!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Too late.\xa0 Come with me, girl.
SUSANNE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I don't want to--
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [threatening] Do not argue with me.\xa0 This is a matter of life and death!
- CHNOSSOS Too right you are. For in five minutes, that green door on the far wall will open and a few of my choice minions will be let loose in this room.\xa0 And you know what will happen then... [evil chuckle]
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Holy cats!\xa0 We better get a move on.
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 But where a-do-a we go?\xa0 There's the dreadful green door, and the way-a we came in, and then--?
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GRATING OF STONE
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 How convenient.\xa0 Three doorways open.\xa0 Come girl.\xa0 I will keep you alive.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GRABS UP SUZANNE
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 And we will make our exit, stage left.
SUSANNE\xa0\xa0\xa0 But I don't understand!
KLAUS\xa0\xa0\xa0 I will tell you all you need to know.\xa0 [commanding] Come!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THEY LEAVE
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 And 'oo will tell us all we need to know?
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 French?\xa0 Eh!\xa0 I have always favored French girls.\xa0 I'll take-a you.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [defiant] Take-a me where?\xa0 I do not think so!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 [getting mad] Don\u2019t argue a-with-a me!\xa0 You won\u2019t-a getta better chance-a than this!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 You better go, lady.\xa0 Bad things are gonna happen here.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Huh!\xa0 And no bad tings will 'appen with thees fellow?\xa0 Hah!
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Atsa your bad-a luck, then.\xa0 You--
HELGA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ja?
LUIGI\xa0\xa0\xa0 Do notta speak.\xa0 Just come.

NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 [with exertion] He would be doing worse to me, were our positions reversed!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 We already killed three of them!\xa0 We should keep him alive, make him tell us how to get out of here!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Very well. [lets up, then hissed] You!\xa0 You will take us through the maze, or He will leave you to me again, and strangling you is NOT the most painful thing I can do with this whip.

GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are we certain the others are dead?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Best as I can be.\xa0
AMELIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I want 'is spear.\xa0 Anything to keep terrible things at arm's length.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I guess that leaves me the knife, unless you want to dig further into that box.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CREAK OF WOOD
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 The box!\xa0 It's tipping forward!
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Dang it!\xa0 [to the captive] YOU!\xa0 Where do we go from here?
MONGREL\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gibbers in his language]
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Don't tell me he don't speak no English!
AMELIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 If he does not speak, then he is no use!\xa0
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Da!\xa0 Then he is mine!
MONGREL\xa0\xa0\xa0 No!\xa0 No!
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 There's an opening under the box - and the darkness!\xa0 It's moving!
AMELIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Spiders!
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Bah!\xa0 A whip is useless against such as those - we must leave here!

GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Gosh.\xa0 I can't leave any of you girls here alone.\xa0 That wouldn't be right.
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 We can look after ourselves.
NATHALIA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Speak for your own self!\xa0 I want him to look after me.
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Someone tell us, please, what it is that is going on?
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yes.\xa0 Can\u2019t you fill us in?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Not here, not now.\xa0 We gotta get moving - bad things are coming.
GRACE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Bad things?\xa0 Could you be a bit more vague?
AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [troubled] That voice over the intercom - it said that.\xa0 I think he is sincere.
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 We'll get a move on, and I can tell you as we go.
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 You are taking her with you?
GARTH\xa0\xa0\xa0 Darnitall, I'm taking all o' y'all.

AMELIE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [laughs]
ODA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh, here is where you are!\xa0 It is almost time for the curfew.\xa0
