Alexandra A djinn? A genie?
Wendy Now hold on a minute. Forget what our culture has made of the Djinn. Forget Barbara Eden. Forget Robin Williams. To the people of ancient Arabia, the Djinn was neither cute nor funny. It was something else entirely. It was the face of fear itself.
Alexandra Where's Wendy?
Bedroom. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Messy. I needed her face.
Alexandra You killed her.
Actually, I can't kill anyone. Not unless they wish me to. Your research should have told you that.
Alexandra She didn't wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit!
I showed her my true face. Her reaction wasn't very flattering. As a matter of fact, she got downright hysterical! I merely asked if she wished to be released from her fear. You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra. Your scientist friend, your boss, the policeman, Wendy. By the by-where is that tasty little sister of yours today? [licks upper lip slowly]
Alexandra What happens if I wished you dead?
Why, how remarkably original of you, Alexandra. I'll tell you what. I'll give you one free wish. A sample. Just to get you in the spirit of the game.
Alexandra All right. I want you to destroy yourself. Blow your brains out. Right now
[He picks up a gun, presses it under his chin, and pulls the trigger, blowing off the top of his head. But the wound heals instantly, surprising Alexandra.]
That which is eternal cannot die. But if it's any consolation, sweet Alex, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!
Wendy [referring to Raymond Beaumont]
What an insufferable prick that man is. Still, it's not your problem. Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to be working for him.
Alexandra [shaking her head]
No.
Wendy Or sleeping with him.
Alexandra [slightly disgusted]
No.
Wendy Oh good. Well, that establishes your discerning good taste. [turns her attention to something else, then addresses Alex without looking at her] Uh-huh. What can I do for you?
Alexandra [assertively]
Absolutely nothing at all until I can get your full attention.
Wendy [turns and stares at her, Alex stares right back]
I like you.
