HALE<br />
He looks great. You’re a magician, you know that? Truly. Magical.<br />
STEPH<br />
(Shuffling though her make-up bag) I can add some color, but I can’t change<br />
his expression.<br />
HALE<br />
It’s okay. I’ll sew his mouth shut.<br />
STEPH<br />
Why?<br />
HALE<br />
So the fluid doesn’t seep out. Could you please put some more blush on<br />
him, babe? Maybe some eye-liner too! I think Piggy would make a mean<br />
pirate. (He leans in to talk to the corpse while she picks through her bag) Were<br />
you a Captain in a former life, Piggs?<br />
Steph draws on the eye-liner, then drizzles<br />
foundation over his frigid flesh. Meticulously,<br />
she brushes color back into his face, breathing<br />
life into his lifeless features.<br />
HALE<br />
Look! He’s blushing. He’s not used to being handled by young ladies.<br />
STEPH<br />
I don’t think it’s me he wants. I don’t think it’s ever been me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> body starts to fall <strong>of</strong>f the chair. Hale<br />
pushes him back up.<br />
HALE<br />
Aww . . . He’s falling for you. You’re making him want to live again.<br />
