Scene 1 Flashcards
(12 cards)
(after unmurder)
The story begins where it ends: with girls playing with fire. I was 10 years old.
What are you doing?
LUCY: Starting a fire.
Why?
LUCY: For practice.
You have to do it firmly, and then you have to breathe on it. Don’t try so hard. It won’t matter.
LUCY: Does it?
Lucy, would you like to be in our club?
LUCY: What club?
It is called the Hazard Club, where we do strange and dangerous things.
THERESA: Yes, Maria, why?
Because you’re brave. And that’s important.
PHOEBE: Is she?
She is. That’s going to be your Special Skill. Phoebe’s is eating things. Sarah’s is hitting the boys. Theresa’s is holding her breath for a really long time under water.
LUCY: Whats yours?
Words. Do you want to join our club?
LUCY: Yes please.
Let’s take a vote. Who else votes for Brave Lucy?
THERESA: But that’s it, no more members. Otherwise it won’t be a secret.
It’s just us from now on.
Three!
The Hazard Club!!
Now let’s show her how to start a fire.
THERESA: Did I get it right?
Yeah.
