ESPEN: I’ll walk myself to a hospital.

RUSSEL: And say what?

ESPEN: I’ll say, “Someone I thought was my best friend shot me”. What do you think I’ll say?

RUSSEL: I know you won’t say nothing of the sort.

ESPEN: Aye.

RUSSEL: You can’t go. You know the rules.

ESPEN: F’k the rules! We’re supposed to be partners, remember? Is this how it ends between us then?

RUSSEL: You’re still alive, Espen.

ESPEN: Wish you’d gone through with it. I’d a gone all the way.

RUSSEL: Sure you would have.

ESPEN: I would have done so.

RUSSEL: Oh yeah?

ESPEN: Yeah!

Russel tosses his gun on the bed beside Espen.

RUSSEL: Go on then! Shoot me! Go on…for the love of God be quick about it or hold your tongue from now on. SHOOT ME DEAD!

(Pause.)

Espen takes another long swig of Jameson. Russel leaves the gun on the bed and sits back down.
