Ernesto's Starship

Int, Gilbert House. Kitchen.

Jeremy sits at the counter reading as Alaric enters.

Alaric: Any eggs left?

Jeremy: Think so.

[Alaric goes to the fridge and piers in.]

Alaric: Whatcha readin?

Jeremy: Some book on Buddhism.

[Alaric pulls out a carton of eggs, and some OJ. He crosses to the counter and sets them down.]

Alaric: Buddhism huh?

Jeremy: Yeah. You know much about it?

Alaric: A little bit.

Jeremy: It’s pretty far out, don’t you think?

[Alaric smiles at this.]

Alaric: I guess so.

Jeremy: Can I ask you a question?

Alaric: Shoot.

Jeremy: Do you believe in reincarnation?

Alaric: With, or without the ring?

Jeremy: Without.

Alaric: Yes I do.

Jeremy: So if you believe in reincarnation without the ring, why do you wear it?

Alaric: Karma.

Jeremy: What do you mean, karma?

Alaric: You haven’t gotten to that part yet?

Jeremy: It’s when what you do comes back to you. Good, or Bad.

Alaric: Thats right. And so what do you do when you have bad karma?

Jeremy: I don’t know. What?

Alaric: You have to burn it off.

Jeremy: What do you mean, burn it off?

Alaric: As you learn to become a man, Jeremy; you’ll be faced with increasing challenges. Your ability to meet these challenges with courage and grace determines the rate at which you convert bad karma into good.

Jeremy: So why does it burn?

Alaric: Because courage and grace are always forged in a fire.

[Jeremy takes this in a moment.]

Jeremy: So, you’re saying that ring is your bad Karma?

Alaric: That’s right.

Jeremy: Do Vampires have karma?

Alaric: You bet your ass they do.

Jeremy: How do they burn it off?

Alaric: That’s where I come in.

[There’s a still moment between them.]

Alaric: I want you to think about a question and give me an answer tonight.

Jeremy: What is it?

Alaric: What’s the difference between being Eternal and being Immortal?

Jeremy: I don’t know.

Alaric: Well now you have the day to think about it…

To be continued…..I
