Carlos : If this guy does not want to go and open that gate, you three should go and do it. Thatâs an order? ( They do not move and remain staring at him. Start laughing at him ) is this stupidity or outright stubbornness? If Combo was here, all of you would have been dead by now. I would have asked him to take all of you to the guillotine and have your heads cut off for insubordination.
Stone : It seems you donât yet know where you are.
William: You are in the land of Eternal Discomfort.
Sandi: And once you get in here through that gate, you can never get out again.
William : We had a saying down there that when you are in a position of power, be wise and leave it before it leaves you. Power has forgotten you and the earlier you get use to it, the better for you.
Carlos : ( Not believing his ears. To Messenger ) What are you guys... a relay team of the kidnappers? Where are you going to take me next?
Messenger: Nobody kidnapped you and you are not moving from this place. In other words, you shall never leave this place.
Carlos : What do you mean? What happens to my beautiful palace?
Messenger : What I mean is, the money, beautiful palaces, cars, politics, power and all the nice things of life belong to that world below your feet. You were born with none of them and you take none of them along the day you die.
Carlos : Are there no such nice things here?
Messenger: Well, there are. Those here are better than what you knew down there but they are not found in this part. ( Pointing to the golden City ) They are found over there.
Carlos : Can I go there?
Messenger : No you canât. You must earn your ticket into that place. You must earn it while you are down there in that world below your feet where your beautiful palace is.
Carlos ( Unable to continue standing on his feet. sits on the ground buried in his thoughts. The others retire to their rooms because of the intense heat leaving Carlos out side in the open yard ).

Messenger : Can I go and show you to your room now?
Carlos : Are you serious that once someone gets in here he cannot get out again?
Messenger : That is the way it is. That gate can only open to let people in but cannot let them out.
Carlos : Come on⦠certainly there must be a way. ( looks around to make sure that no one else is there to hear what he has to say. Almost in whisper ) if you open the gate and let me out, I will reward you greatly. I will send you any amount of money you want once I get back to my palace. All you will need to do is to say the amount and I will send it.
Messenger: Money has no use here. It has great use only down there. You are prepared to give me any amount I want now. Is it your money you want to go and get to send to me? Of course not⦠it is the money of the poor tax payer which you have starched in foreign banks. Those poor people contributed that money so that you would use it to build for them hospitals, provide them with energy and good drinking water as well as roads. But you didnât. Instead you preferred to gather all the money and bank in foreign countries. All you were interested in was amassing money and more money. What kind of money did you really want? Money from the oil refinery went into your private account⦠you had a salary which was ten times that of your colleagues who governed countries richer and more developed than yoursâ¦.your presidency was allocated a huge budget by your rubber stamp parliamentâ¦. You had some advantages on top of all thatâ¦. And that was not all⦠you insisted on being the one to control the state budget which was again put at your disposal. Now you want to go and get part and send to me. But noâ¦thanks⦠money has no use here and there is nothing you can offer me which my master canât. Do you want to go and see your room or not?
Carlos : Ok, I will follow
