Woman in Black
Hello, young man. What a magnificent tree-house. Did you build it yourself?
Luke Eveshim
My dad and I did.
Woman in Black
[opening her purse]
I've got something for you here. Something I think you'll like. [Her eyes glow. Luke gasps] Jump down, and I'll show you.
Luke Eveshim
No!
Woman in Black
What?
Luke Eveshim
No, thank you very much.
Woman in Black
It's worth a lot of money...
Luke Eveshim
This is private property.
Woman in Black
[pulling a snake out of her purse]
There's nothing to be frightened of, I just wanted to give you this. I find him on my walks, he's quite harmless. See? Little boys love snakes. Here, he's yours.
Luke Eveshim
[calling]
Grandma!
Woman in Black
Look, I'll leave him here if you like, then you can come down on your own and get him. They wriggle away quite quickly... UNLESS you tell them not to. [she whispers to the snake]
