Refuse.  If you’re gonna threaten to kill yourself over me, go kill yourself.
     
    PAUL
    That’s not what-
     
     
     
    RANDY
    I’m gonna stay with Ange for a few days, I guess.
     
    PAUL
    NO!  Not her you can’t-
     
    RANDY
    I don’t wanna hear it!  You’re jealous, fine, be a man and deal with rejection!
     
    RANDY goes to exit to the bedroom but ANGE enters the main door wearing a trench coat with one arm ripped off.  She has one arm visible, in which she is holding a gun.  The jacket shoulder area on the other side is bloody and oily.
     
    PAUL
    Jesus!
     
    PAUL jumps to the floor, flings the coffee table on its side for cover. ANGE takes a few shots and dives behind the couch. PAUL pulls out a gun, they start to fire at one another.
     
     
    RANDY
    What- No- Why- STOP!
     
    RANDY runs in between them, they both immediately stop.
    ANGE
    Randy, you idiot, get the Hell out of the line of fire!
     
    RANDY
    Oh thank God you didn’t shoot me!
     
    PAUL
    You never run in the line of fire!  
     
    RANDY
    I know but- You were shooting and I didn’t know what to do.
     
    ANGE
    Running towards the hail of gunfire is always the wrong idea!
     
    RANDY
    It worked!
    ANGE
    Move out of the way Randy this isn’t my good arm.
     
    RANDY
    Don’t do anything-
     
    ANGE
    I can’t aim as well with this arm Randy I don’t want to hit you.
     
    RANDY
    I don’t want you to hit anyone!
     
    ANGE
    Stealing my shooting arm.  Can’t say I expect any less from something like you.
     
    RANDY
    That’s your-
     
    PAUL
    Worked didn’t it.
     
    ANGE
    Not many could yank my arm clean out of the socket-
     
    RANDY
    Ange… Ange… You’re a kill bot?  Paul was telling the truth?
     
    ANGE
    I doubt it, but if he said he was from the future-
     
    PAUL
    I told him the truth!
     
     
    ANGE
    He thinks I’m a robot-
     
    PAUL
    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck-
     
    RANDY
    Ange are you or are you not a Robot!
     
    ANGE
    No I’m not.  Not exactly.
     
    RANDY
    The fuck does that mean!?
     
    ANGE
    I’m a human with cybernetic enhancements.
     
    PAUL
    Aka Robot-
     
    ANGE
    Cyborg!
     
     
    PAUL
    Abomination!  Do you even know where your brain stops and your control programming kicks in?
     
    ANGE
    I could ask you the same question you reprogrammed, indoctrinated, technophobe!  Randy… my arm.  
     
    PAUL
    Don’t listen to her Randy.
     
    ANGE
    Please.
     
    PAUL
    No!
     
    ANGE
    Throw me my arm.  We’ll talk and I’ll set the record straight, you’ve been lied to.
     
    PAUL
    If you do that she’ll kill us both-
     
    ANGE
    My aim’s bad but I could take him out easy standing where he is Paul and you know it.  I haven’t taken the shot because I want him alive.  If he dies I can’t get pregnant and Glorious Leader might never exist.
    RANDY
    You’re the mother!?
     
    PAUL
    Don’t listen to her she’s lying!
     
    ANGE
    I’ve never lied to you Randy-
     
    RANDY
    You have a metal arm!  You’re a cyborg from the future!
     
    ANGE
    You never asked me if I had a metal arm or if I was a cyborg from the future!
     
    RANDY
    That’s not a thing normal people ask one another!
     
    ANGE
    See I never told you I wasn’t a cyborg from the future-
     
    PAUL
    It’s a lie of omission!
     
    ANGE
    Like how you omitted that your group are in the minority of people who feel Randy Junior is mega mecha Hitler and how humanity is enslaved and running on hamster wheels to power the machines that enslave them-
     
    RANDY
    Human battery, like the Matrix, but yeah that’s mostly what I heard!
     
    PAUL
    It’s easy to seem like you agree with a dictator when you’re his slave !
     
    ANGE
    We elected, we consented, to hardwire ourselves.  Randy junior is a savior. He’s a mega mecha Jesus not Hitler!
     
    PAUL
    You’re incapable of free thought-
     
    ANGE
    Randy give me my arm.
     
    PAUL
    Don’t!
     
    RANDY
    If I give you the arm do you promise not to hurt Paul?
     
    ANGE
    If I have my arm back I can promise Paul won’t be
