MATTHEW

Raymond how long have you been...?

RAYMOND puts his arm around MATTHEW.

RAYMOND

Long enough.

MATTHEW

Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Jessica Zeus.

RAYMOND

Then the elderly ladies are safe?

MATTHEW

It does seem that way!

A crowd of vulnerable elderly ladies enter, looking relived.

RAYMOND

You are their hero.

The elderly ladies bow to MATTHEW.

MATTHEW

There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Jessica Zeus will never rob elderly ladies ever again, is enough for me.

RAYMOND

You are humble as well as brave!

One of the elderly ladies passes MATTHEW a magic talisman

RAYMOND

I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.
