Scene 5 - Int. Richard’s House
Books and maps are laid out on a table, subtle references to Waldo’s are on the table. The hat Richard caught is on the table. The two stand around and read up on the research that Richard has found for Waldo’s.
Richard (Reading)
It says here that Waldo’s (Capreolus vitulina) thrive on grass and very little water intake. Humans usually rarely see them, as they tend to blend into their surroundings. Waldo’s have distinguishable by their Red and White striped torsos, dark rims around the eyes and a red white head apparatus with a red dorsal ball on top, the legs are blue and only the top tier of Waldo society hold canes to show authority. No known case of Waldo’s has ever been produced in the wild, they are strictly synthetically made creature. Highly peaceful, if you ever happen to spot a Waldo running around simply notice it and move and hope that you will get the opportunity again. (Done Reading) That’s all it says.
John
I’ve never heard anything as ridiculo- who wrote that book?
Richard
Says here Dr. Albright.
John
That man has no idea what the Waldo’s are capable of, that book must’ve been written when people were first discovering the Waldo’s.
Richard
Says here it was written in 1988.
John
Well at least we know the truth about these things.
Richard
But I thought you said you and Kyle wiped out the last of the Waldo’s.
John
That’s what I thought but apparently not. I’m fairly certain that the Waldo’s cannot reproduce.
Richard
How do we know they can’t breed?
John
Well because all the Waldos I’ve seen in the wild are male.
Richard
Oh
John
They were engineered that way I thought.
Richard
But um again how do we know they’re all male, did you ever go up to one and look up its Waldo skirt?
John
This book right here says that the Waldo’s chromosomes are controlled its really not that difficult all Synthetic introvertebrate embryos are inherently male anyway they just require an extra hormone at the developmental stage to make them female Waldo’s were simply denied that
Richard
John the kind of control your talking about is uh its not possible if there’s one thing the history of evolution has taught us its that life will not be contained life breaks free its expands to new territories and crashes through painfully maybe even dangerously but, uh, well, there it is.
John
You’re implying that a group composed entirely of male animals will breed?
Richard
No I’m I’m simply saying that life uh finds a way.
John
What do you suggest we do about these creatures? You said at the graveyard you wanted to bring the fight back against the Waldo’s. I’ve only encountered one in over a year, maybe they’ve migrated away from Alexandria.
A woman’s scream is heard outside. The two run outside and see a woman kneeling by her flowers, which are all stems now. Another scream is heard the two run across the street to find a man torn limb from limb and then it sounds like a car has been hit by something the two turn around and see a Waldo running away from the accident limping.
John
How are you with a 9 mm.?
Richard
That’s exactly why I can’t do this on my own. You see, I’ve never even fired a gun before, you’re going to have to teach me, I want to be up there right next to the greatest Waldo Hunter of all time, I have to avenge her, I must, you’re the only one that can help me John.
