INT NIGHT CELL

The Riddler cricks his neck from side to side and with his

head looking at the floor. He raises his head with his

eyebrow following and stares blankly in to the camera.

RIDDLER

I’m a bloody walking paradox... no

I’m not?

DONT TOUCH MY ICE COLD SKIN

KRISTIN! (sheepishly) you will burn

yourself its hot

and now people say im crazy?

well I’m subject to hazy

dreams, the night brings the devil

to me

even jesus says i cant redeem

myself

summoned by the bell

i follow him the burning pits of

hell

black and blue, the flames so the

bruising

but it was you! that committed to

loos-ing

me.

it could be called bitter sweet on

those love stained sheets

taste of vodka in your mouth tut

tut Kristen you must have drank it

neat

it was just another crime of

passion in a hotel suit.

the blood through your veins and on

to the bathroom floor

what more...

evidence could there be? i didn’t

break the law

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

i just loved you and well you loved

me more

i only wrapped my hands around your

throat for a moment

i didn’t stop because i wanted to..

there was gas between my hands and

its components

and well i will only crack my

fingers if i can crack all 10

because if i can only crack 9 then

ill just start again

although I’m NOT odd!

numbers like me send lighting rods

elctic pules that made me blackout

and then i woke up and well...

Kristin was gone (sniggers)

I’m sorry detective i have no time

for your questions, this is not a

hot line.

although i do love questions, let

me ask you. what has a foot but no

legs? i need your answer because

youve already got mine.
