Ray: Thanks a ton, James. Without you it wouldn’t have been possible for me to take this
malefactor down. Our little showdown really distracted his daft bodyguards huh?

James: You are one hell of an actor, my friend. This sight of your wide glee and teary eyes is
what makes me content.

Ray: (Turning to Chris) I respect you, sir - for your diligence to save the situation from
getting out of hand - it was just meant to be - they had become a burden to this earth.

Chris: I am at a loss for words...

Ray: Sometimes silence speaks more than words. Jim, you know the protocol, don’t you? -
make sure you get acquitted. Goodbye, old friend.

James: Wait a minute.... (As has always been, before James completes the sentence , Ray puts
the gun to his head)

Ray: (gives a poignant wave of goodbye) bang!

(Tears from James’ eyes hit the ground simultaneously as Ray succumbs to his fate.)

END.
