It's the major.WHORE: He's taken too.KRUTE: Let her in.WHORE: Do you know her?Alice enters the small bedroom which smells of perspiration and liquor.KRUTE: Hey Alice. I remember you this time.ALICE: I need your help. It's an emergency.KRUTE: What? You're horny?ALICE: Please? I don't have too much time. I was almost killed today. I barely escaped and I think that my friends are dead.KRUTE: Well if they're dead, I can't help them.ALICE: But you can help the children.KRUTE: Their children?ALICE: No. The Children. The prince and princess. Your royal highnesses.KRUTE: Not that again. I don't have time for that stuff now. The children are fine and they're not my children.ALICE: You are their subject. You must help.KRUTE: I know my job. I'm heading To The palace tomorrow anyway. Don't bother me now.ALICE: No. They are no longer at the royal palace.WHORE: Wait a minute. He has no time for children. Not yours and not anybody's. You better go look for another daddy.ALICE: This is state business that we're talking about. Please stay out of this.WHORE: Listen ho. Don't talk to me like that.ALICE: I am not a whore. You may be one but I am not. This really has nothing to do with you.WHORE: Did you just call me a ho?ALICE: All I said is that you might be a whore but I am not.The whore smacks Alice hard on the face. Shocked by the pain and aggression, Alice begins to cry.KRUTE: (to the whore) Hey why'd you do that for? She didn't do anything to you.WHORE: (to Alice) Now you know not to talk to me like that.Frightened, Alice dashes out of the room. Realizing that Alice is too frightened to retaliate, The whore takes advantage of the situation and chases her, grabs her by the hair and begins beating her with a closed fist in the hallway. Krute runs behind the two women and manages to separate them. After sustaining such a beating, Alice runs away. Krute, curious as to Alice's well being, runs after her but falls down the steps To The bottom of the stairway in a drunken stupor. Alice, realizing that by now Grey's men may be searching for her, goes into hiding.
