[Ernest wake up next to a swimming pool dressed in a suit. Men enter the room as Lisle swims naked]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
I'm glad to see you are awake, Dr Menville.
[She exits the swimming pool]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
I hope you don't mind, that Harry and Dick had to dress you. You were improperly attired for the occasion
[One of Lisle's men wrap her in a towel]
Ernest Menville:
What occasion?
[Lisle drops the towel, exposing herself]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
I'm throwing a party upstairs. I throw one every spring, for my clients.
[One of Lisles men dress her in a gown who them approaches Ernest]
Ernest Menville:
Alright, okay. What do you want with me?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
To you. I would like to give a present. The gift of life and youth, forever.
[Lisle unveils the egg container]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
I saw your wife and friend. You did brilliant work. Show me your hand.
Lisle Von Rhuman:
Come on, I won't bite.
[Lisle pricks Ernest's finger with the dagger]
Ernest Menville:
Ooof..What are you doing?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
I'm loving you.
[Lisle pulls the ribbon from the egg container which unveils the vial of potion, which she takes out and places on the table. Opening the vial, she dips the tip of the dagger into the potion. She runs the tip of the dagger over the wound of Ernest's finger which causes the potion to enter his blood stream which heals his wound and rejuvenates his hand]
Ernest Menville:
My God...
Lisle Von Rhuman:
Oh, Oh thank you!
[Lisle picks up the vial and gives it to Ernest]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
But don't be modest. That's what you do. This is what you've always done. Stop time in people's faces and in their hands. You are like Don Quixote, tilting at nature's windmill. Drink it. Go on
[Ernest removes the top of the vial as Lisle's Men take a knee]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
It is the completion of your life's work. You gave other people youth, and wasted your own. Drink, and you'll be able to work again forever. Drink. Drink Dr Menville. You owe yourself another chance. Drink. It's the right choice.! The only choice!
[Ernest prepares to drink the potion]
Lisle Von Rhuman:
Drink! SIEMPRE VIVA! LIVE FOREVER!
[Ernest hesitates]
Ernest Menville:
Then what?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
What?
Ernest Menville:
Then what happens?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
What?
Ernest Menville:
I don't wanna live forever, I mean it sounds good, but what am I gonna do? What if I get bored?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
What?
Ernest Menville:
And, what if I get lonely? Who am I gonna hang around with? Madeline and Helen? What if something happens to me? What if I get maimed? What if I get shot? What if someone pushes me down. What if I fall down a flight of stairs or something?
Lisle Von Rhuman:
But you'll never grow old.
Ernest Menville:
Yes. But everybody else will. I'll have to watch everyone around me die. I don't think this is right. This is not a dream. This is a nightmare! You people all have to be stopped!
Lisle Von Rhuman:
Dick! Tom! Harry! Get the potion from him!
[Ernest picks up the dagger and throws it at the light switch darkening the room and escapes as Lisle's men try to stop him]
Ernest Menville:
Relax. He won't get far. Not at his age.
