THE INTERROGATION OF EMILY MAY/SCENE TWO
Scene Two
The setting is a dull and grey and essential state secret service headquarters, all the room resemble each other to confuse the viewer, all the agent are wearing the same kind of dress impossible to tell who is who and they address themselves by their agent numbers, although in the State Secret canteen they refer each other mysteriously as “Eddie B, Eddie C” and so on.
Emily May is brought into one of the Grey rooms with bolted black wood doors so thick, that even if she continuously screams for fifteen minutes not even a note would have reached the outside, this is of course only true in certain cases; for example if a red button is pressed from the outside and then the screams are amplified and the voice spreads like the local radio in the air.
Agent 00 is a very important man; he heads this mission and is responsible for everything that goes on in the State Secret headquarters and he looks quite pleased with the capture of Emily May.
Agent 00: Uh..Um(clears his throat..fails does it again) Uh..um
Agent 11 ½: Chicklet sir?
Agent 00: Uh..um no thank you and agent 11 ½ I don’t have to remind you that outside perishables are not allowed in the State HQ’
Agent 11 ½ : Oh sorry sir
Agent 00: No problem, nothing like breaking the rules once in a while isn’t it agent?
Agent 11 ½ : I exercise my fundamental rights by not commenting
Agent 00: Very well, so who will be interrogating Ms. May?
Agent 06: That is the reason we have gathered here, haven’t we senior agent
Agent 00: quite, quite. I think we must give Agent 8 ½ a try, who do oppose the statement?
Of the three people gathered there, none of them raises their hands
Agent 00: democratically we have accomplished that Agent 8 ½ will be the agent in charge of the enquiry, you may now disperse agents
Agents 11 ½ and 06 walk away from the meeting area and when they are away from hearing distance
Agent 11 ½ and 06 in unison: Bloody Red tape!
It was known that agent 8 ½ was the son of agent 00, that was why he was made agent 8 ½ in the first place and like every democratic organization in this world, no one dared to go against the boss in this case Agent 00.
Unknown to these two gullible naïve and democratic agents, Agent 00 was secretly taping whatever they said using the State Secret Taping Device designed by the State Secret Designing department which was present in an underground lab few meters away from the main building and mainly consisted of high IQ Russian red heads (women) who basically designed whatever was required.
“Bloody Red Tape! Bloody red Tape!” those words echoed into the ears from the listening device
Agent 00: Hello?
Agent 67: OK Boss
Agent 00: Terminate two silly looking agents walking towards you, identification, both of them are always smiling and think they really are Tom Cruises just because they work in the State Department, kill them and send some flowers to their spouses, Agent 06’s wife has a special liking to white roses and update the social network of the state department on the death of two agents, they were killed in the line of duty and bring me Agent 8 ½!
Agent 67: OK Boss
