(They scream as PRINCESS DI and BEAN approach the reservoir.)

SOMEONE

She’s back!

She’s back!

SHE’S BACK!!!

(The townspeople all cheer.)

​

BEAN

(To PRINCESS DI)

Do you usually get this sort of Homecoming Welcome?

 

PRINCESS DI

(To BEAN)

Only with the resurrected Hill People.

(PRINCESS DI greets the townspeople.  They continue to cheer.)

Yes, I’m back. 

Hello.

 

DR PHIL
Princess Diana. 

 

PRINCESS DI

Dr Phil. 

You’ve been hard at work, I see.

 

DR PHIL
Trying to save as many souls as I can. 
Before we plunge back into The Darkness.

 

BEAN

(To PRINCESS DI, looking around)

You’ve been busy, too.

Jesus…

 

DR PHIL

Who’s that?

 

PRINCESS DI

A friend.

 

BEAN

A friend?

I’m Bean.

 

DR PHIL
Phil. 

 

BEAN
I know. 

 

DR PHIL
Did you hear they started airing my show again?
They think they’ve got me, but they don’t got me.

 

PRINCESS DI
Phil, we talked about this:

Low-Profile.

 

DR PHIL
Bah!

 

PRINCESS DI

Well, once it’s over. 

You know.

It’s over.

 

DR PHIL
They won’t come to the Reservoir; they’re too superstitious.

 

PRINCESS DI

Phil, we need your help.

 

DR PHIL
You finally want to be baptized.

I'm not worthy.

 

PRINCESS DI

No, Phil—

 

DR PHIL

“The thong of whose sandal, I am not worthy to untie.” [1]

 

PRINCESS DI
Stop. 

Her dad’s missing.

We need you to locate where he is.
