Late is better than never?
This has been preempted and so you are spared some of the bad jokes I had planned and I may yet get to use the Nogrod death scene I had planned from my last mod game in the next (after Gollum's, auditions opening soon! Plug plug) but having decided that quasi-judicial processes had been done too well by Messrs Formendacil and Pan Man, I couldn't resist a little play with this.
Waiting for Borot
MORMEGIL:
Charming spot. Inspiring prospects. (He turns to Nogrod.) Let's go.
NOGROD:
We can't.
MORMEGIL:
Why not?
NOGROD:
We're waiting for Borot.
…
NOGROD:
There's no good harking back on that. Come on.
He draws him after him. As before.
MORMEGIL:
Wait!
NOGROD:
I'm cold!
MORMEGIL:
Wait! (He moves away from Nogrod.) I sometimes wonder if we wouldn't have been better off alone, each one for himself. (He crosses the stage and sits down on the mound.) We weren't made for the same road.
NOGROD:
(without anger). It's not certain.
MORMEGIL:
No, nothing is certain.
Nogrod slowly crosses the stage and sits down beside Mormegil.
NOGROD:
We can still part, if you think it would be better.
MORMEGIL:
It's not worthwhile now.
Silence.
NOGROD:
No, it's not worthwhile now.
Silence.
MORMEGIL:
Well, shall we go?
NOGROD:
Yes, let's go.
They do not move.
