ACT 1
SCENE 1
(Curtain opens. ARTEMIS and BUTLER stand alone center stage. Song.)
ARTEMIS: The Book!
BUTLER: The book, the book, the book.
ARTEMIS: I need it!
BUTLER: The book, the book, the book.
ARTEMIS: To find… the… farieeeeeeeeeeees!
(Song ends. NGUYEN enters)
NGUYEN: I know where you can find what you’re searching for.
ARTEMIS: Explain.
NGUYEN: A woman. She is what you seek.
ARTEMIS: So take us to her.
NGUYEN: No, no. Information only. I don’t want a curse on my head.
BUTLER: The time you had a choice is long in the past.
(NGYUEN points to SPRITE. ARTEMIS walks over to SPRITE.)
(Song)
ARTEMIS: The Book!
SPRITE: The book, the book, the book?
ARTEMIS: Give me yours!
SPRITE: The book, the book, the book?
ARTEMIS: Then you’ll… be… saaaaaaaaaaaaaaved!
(Song ends. SPRITE gives ARTEMIS the book, ARTEMIS gives SPRITE a glass of water. (I know it’s supposed to be wine, but this is kid-friendly!))
ARTEMIS: It’s been a pleasure doing business with you, Sprite.
