The ARCHANGELS cluster on the rim of a small hollow. The hollow is littered with bones. A small cave entrance can be dimly seen on the far side. MICHAEL: Keep me covered. [Stir among Archangels] DAVID: What with? MICHAEL: Just keep me covered. LAURENCE: (whiny) Yeah, keep him covered, David! YVES: Too late. JANUS: What? YVES: There he is! They all turn, and see a large white RABBIT lollop a few yards out of the cave. Accompanied by terrifying chord and jarring metallic monster noise. JANUS: Where? YVES: There. NOVALIS: Behind the rabbit? YVES: It is the rabbit. JORDI: Bloody *right!* MICHAEL: ... You silly sods. YVES: What? LAURENCE: You got us all worked up. JEAN: You cretin! YVES: That is not an ordinary rabbit ... 'tis the most foul cruel and bad-tempered thing you ever set eyes on. LAURENCE: You twit. I soiled my armour I was so scared! YVES: That rabbit's got a vicious streak. It's a killer! MICHAEL: Get stuffed. YVES: He'll do you up a treat mate! DAVID: Oh yeah? JANUS: Mangy scots git! YVES: Look. I'm warning you. NOVALIS: What's he do? Nibble your bum? He's so cute.... YVES: Well, It's got huge ... very sharp ... it can jump a... look at the bones. LAURENCE: Go on, Uriel, chop its head off! URIEL: Right. Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew coming up. YVES: Look! As YVES points they all spin round to see the RABBIT leap at DAVID'S throat with an appalling scream. From a distance of about twenty feet there is a tin opening noise, a cry from URIEL. A quick CLOSE-UP of a savage RABBIT biting through tin and URIEL'S head flies off. The RABBIT leaps back to the mouth of the cave and sits there looking in the ARCHANGELS' direction and growling menacingly. LAURENCE: Je-sus Christ! YVES: I warned you! LAURENCE: I done it again. YVES: Did I tell you? Did you listen to me? Oh no, no, you knew better didn't you? No, it's just an ordinary rabbit isn't it. The names you called me. Well, don't say I didn't tell you. MICHAEL: Oh, shut up. YVES: (quietly) It's always the same ... if I've said it once. JANUS: Charge! They all charge with swords drawn towards the RABBIT. A tremendous twenty second fight with Peckinpahish shots and borrowing heavily also on the Kung Fu and karate-type films ensues, in which some four ARCHANGELS are comprehensively killed. JANUS: Run away! Run away! ALL ARCHANGELS but MICHAEL: (taking up cry) Run away! Run away! MICHAEL: Strategic withdrawal! Strategic withdrawal! They run down from the cave and hide, regrouping behind some rocks. YVES, some way away, is pointing at them and laughing derisively. YVES: Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. MICHAEL: Who did we lose? NOVALIS: Blandine. LAURENCE: Gabriel. JANUS: And Uriel. Five. JEAN: Three, sir! MICHAEL: Three. Well, we'll not risk another frontal assault. That rabbit's dynamite. LAURENCE: Would it help to confuse him if we ran away more? DAVID: Shut up. Go and change your armour. LAURENCE leaves, walking strangely. JANUS: Let us taunt it. It may become so cross that it will make a mistake. MICHAEL: Like what? JANUS cannot find a suitable answer to this. NOVALIS: Maybe if we gave it some carrots.... ALL ARCHANGELS: Bugger off, you green twit. MARC: Do we have any bows? DAVID: No. JEAN: We have the Holy Hand Grenade. LAURENCE: The what? JEAN: The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. 'Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Dominic always carries with him. ALL: Yes. Of course. MICHAEL:(shouting) Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade, Brother Hyen.... err, Dominic! Slight pause. A small group of SERAPHIM process forward towards the ARCHANGELS, DOMINIC bearing an ornate golden reliquary, and the accompanying SERAPHIM chanting and waving incense. They reach the ARCHANGELS. The hand grenade is suffused with a holy glow. JANUS takes it. Pause LAURENCE: How does it ... er ... DAVID: I know not. MARC: Consult the Book of Armaments. DOMINIC: Armaments Chapter Two Verses Nine to Twenty One. (reading from bible) And Eli raised his hand grenade up on high saying "O Lord bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy. "and the Lord did grin" "and people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orang-utans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and... MICHAEL: Skip a bit, Dominic... DOMINIC: ... Er ... oh, yes ... and the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. JANUS: Right. JANUS pulls Pin out. DOMINIC blesses the grenade as ... JANUS:(quietly) One, two, five ... JEAN: Three, sir! JANUS: Three! JANUS throws the grenade at the RABBIT. There is an explosion and cheering from the ARCHANGELS. ALL ARCHANGELS: Praise be to the Lord. Huzzah! ______________________________________________________________________ It must be the cafeteria food. - -Brent ------------------------------ End of in_nomine-digest V1 #1203 ******************************** The material here is (C) 1999 Steve Jackson Games, Incorporated.
