A Double Life Page #8

I'm afraid so.

Let's go.

Ok. I'll get my hat and coat.

Iago:
Demand me nothing.

What you know, you know.

From this time forward,

I never will speak word.

Cassio:
Most heathenish

and most gross!

Tony, as Othello:

O thou pernicious caitiff!

How came you, Cassio,

by that handkerchief

that was my wife's?

I found it in my chamber,

and he himself confessed even now

that there he dropped it

for a special purpose

which wrought to his desire.

Fool, fool, fool.

You must forsake this room

and go with us.

Your power and your command

is taken off,

and Cassio rules in Cyprus.

For this slave,

if there be any cunning cruelty

that can torment him much

and hold him long,

it shall be his.

You shall close prisoner...

Rest.

You shall close prisoner rest.

Shall...

Until that the nature

of your fault be known

to the Venetian state.

Come.

Bring him away.

Soft you.

A word or two before you go.

I have done the state

some service...

And they know it.

No more of that.

I pray you...

In your letters...

That when you shall

these unlucky deeds relate...

Speak of me as I am,

nothing extenuate...

Nor set down aught in malice.

Then must you speak

of one that loved...

Then must you speak

of one that loved,

Not wisely,

but too well.

Of one, not easily jealous,

but being wrought,

perplexed in the extreme.

Tony.

Of one whose hand...

Like the base Judean

who threw a pearl away

richer than all his tribe.

One whose...

Subdued eyes...

albeit unused

to the melting mood...

their medicinal gum,

set you down this.

Where a malignant

and a turbaned Turk

beat...

I took by the throat

the circumcised dog...

And smote him...

Thus!

Bloody periods.

I kissed thee ere

I killed thee.

No way this...

This life here.

Cassio:
This did I fear,

but thought he had no weapon.

The object poisons sight.

Let it be hid.

Tony.

Gratiano, keep the house...

Tony.

What is it?

Tony.

Tony...

Brita.

Brita, we're on.

Come, Brita.

No.

Tony.

What's up?

A little accident,

Steve. That's all.

Don't take him upstairs.

Bring him over here.

Rex, call dr. Mervin,

will ya? Quick.

Easy, easy.

Tony, what is it?

Let me see.

Tony, Tony, are you?

It's all right, Max.

We've sent for the doctor.

For the love of?

Why?

Why?

Max, this is

captain Bonner.

He'll tell you.

The-- the call.

I'm late for the call.

Take it easy, boy.

Rest.

Tony.

I'm...

I'm...

All right.

Never better.

So are you...

Now...

And Bill.

We're all...

All right.

Man:
Your call,

Miss Kaurin.

No.

Go on, Brita.

I'll be here.

Go on.

Funny the things

You think about,

You know?

Bill...

You know, way back?

Yes.

This, uh...

An actor once,

old-time actor, name of Kirby,

way, way back...

Famous for death scenes?

Don't talk, Tony.

Wait.

Th-this Kirby,

he'd finish,

they'd shout,

"Die again, Kirby.

Die again."

And he'd...

He'd get up and bow and...

Die again.

Ever hear of him?

Kirby?

No.

Oh, well,

tonight...

The things that go through

one's head.

Suddenly I thought,

I hope no one shouts,

"Die again,"

'cause...

I couldn't have.

Rest, Tony.

Rest.

The things that go through

one's head.

Rex:
He's on his way?

Dr. Mervin.

No, no.

It doesn't feel bad now.

Peaceful, really.

It's in my mind

I feel bad.

Pat.

That unfortunate Pat.

I'll apologize

to her up there.

Or down there.

Yeah, down there.

You bet.

Bill...

Yes, Tony?

Look out for the papers.

Don't let them say I...

Was a bad actor, huh?

Brita...

Yes.

Brita...

Brita, you...
