CUTAWAY TO:

LEVIAN IS IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THE HOUSE OF SPINSTER PIERCE.  SHE IS DRESSED IN A BLACK PLAIN DRESS TO HER FEET WITH LONG SLEEVES.

LEVIAN

Thanks for having me over.

SPINSTER PEIRCE

Welcome to my humble abode.

LEVIAN

Thank you.  Now tell me about this notoriety you are know for.

SPINSTER PIERCE

Well I won’t send you to a notary to swear a statement that you mean well asking me that question.

LEVIAN

Let’s start again. How did you become know as Spinster Pierce?

SPINSTER PIERCE

A local journalist another of you types. Nicknamed me that. 

After he interviewed me for giving all that money to a children’s organization that provides extra curricular scholarships for after school.

LEVIAN

How are the scholarships awarded?

SPINSTER PIERCE

Grades.  If they are doing great at school they can handle the extra curricular if they are failing why bother?  Only a distraction.

LEVIAN

Yes valid point.  So what made you give all that money to them?

SPINSTER PIERCE

Well really it was the satisfaction of having no husband no children and all this wealth from an inheritance from my deceased sister.  I’m not really a collector of things so with all that inheritance well the house did not need fixing did that already.  So I kept hearing all these complaints form people about how exorbitant it is to raise kids and the extra curricular activities being the biggest expense in the school year.

LEVIAN

Yes.

SPINSTER PIERCE

So I found this organization that came to my door actually as a flyer for the other sister was on me for the money.  Estranged from the one that died over money also when our dad died.  So quickly I gave a huge chunk to these people to avoid a heart attack over it.  Thankfully she never forgave me so I don’t have to see her at all.  If she hits the grave before I do she’s got the funeral covered as a surprise.

LEVIAN

Well that is kind of you.  The love is there just the relationship is not.

SPINSTER PIERCE

Sometimes that is the greatest love.

LEVIAN

Yes.  Great point.

SPINSTER PIERCE

Hence my nickname some could not handle it and I said thanks I’ll take it.

LEVIAN

The wardrobe of your appearance is there any story around that?

SPINSTER PIERCE

It’s for the effect to be real.  She lights a cigar. Would you like one?

LEVIAN

Sure. 

SPINSTER PIERCE OPENS HER CIGAR BOX AND LEVIAN TAKES ONE.

SPINSTER PIERCE

They are local.

LEVIAN

Thanks.  (He lights both of their cigars).

THEY SMOKE AND CONTINUE TO CONVERSE.

LEVIAN

So it’s really interesting this issue we are dong is on the Muse.

SPINSTER PIERCE

You don’t say.  Well that is really an honor to include me.  (She puffs on the cigar).

LEVIAN

Yes and we need some photos so if you pose smoking its cool.

SPINSTER PIERCE

Shoot me.

LEVIAN PUTS HIS CIGAR DOWN AND TAKES SOME PHOTOS OF HER ON THE SOFA IN FRONT OF THE COFFEE TABLE.

LEVIAN

This is a late story.  Likely you will not make it to the cover.

SPINSTER PIERCE

That’s a relief.
