SEARCH PARTY (John Luke, Bonny)

JOHN LUKE:
Bonny....

BONNY:
John Luke....

JOHN LUKE:
Password?

BONNY:
"Firefly"

JOHN LUKE:
Okay, tonight we play "Search and Destroy"

BONNY:

I can't
JOHN LUKE:
What do you mean, you can't?

BONNY:
Well, we can quick do search
And then you can go on and destroy without me

JOHN LUKE:
Why can't you go?

BONNY:
I just can't
I have to stick around the neighborhood
It's that Mister Sloane
He's watchin' me, he's hockin' me
He's riding me, he's waiting
For me to slip just once
Hurry he might see
Sometimes I think he can see
Everything I do
He stands in the window
And his eyes turn yellow
And flare like matches
And he can see me hiding in the dark--
Where are you?
