North Star Line-by-Line

[Orac]

(Later)

Bethany: Nine times twelve, don't forget to carry the one. Yral?

 

[May 20]

YRAL: (a boy) Nine times twelve equals one hundred and eight.

 

[Orac]

Bethany: That's right. You're doing very well with your multiplication tables. Tomorrow night we'll start with something a little more challenging. Long division. Kret, collect the slates, please. I've brought a friend with me who'd like to learn more about your people. Who can tell Mister Archer how the humans and the Skagarans came to live together? Taliyah?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TALIYAH: (a girl) Our ancestors took the humans from their planet and brought them here.

 

[Athena28]

BETHANY: And why did they do that?

 

[May 20]

TALIYAH: To make them work.

 

[Orac]

Bethany: But the humans didn't want to work for the Skagarans, did they.

 

[May 20]

BENNINGS: No, we didn't.

 

[Athena28]

BETHANY: Go on home now. Go on, it's all right.

 

[Orac]

(The children flee.)

Bennings: I tried to warn you, Bethany. Teaching Skags is a crime. You know that.

 

[May 20]

BETHANY: Nobody's being hurt here.

 

[CaptVader]

BENNINGS: So you say, but I'm afraid the law is the law.

 

[Orac]

Archer: I thought you could bend the local ordnances.

 

[CaptVader]

BENNINGS: That's true, but this is one I have no intention of bending.
(His two henchmen take hold of Bethany.)

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

BETHANY: Get away from me.

(Archer grabs the henchman, there's a struggle, Bennings floors Archer.)

 

[CaptVader]

BENNINGS: Sheriff gave you a chance to leave town. You should have taken it.

(Bethany and Archer are hauled away.)

 

[Orac]

[Later in the Sheriff's Office]

(There's a noise outside, and the deputy on duty goes to investigate.)

Deputy [OC]: Get away from there. Go on, now.

 

[Athena28]

BETHANY: Best I can do.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: Thanks. What's going to happen to you now.

 

[CaptVader]

BETHANY: Don't worry. This isn't the first time the Sheriff and I haven't seen eye to eye.
