The Wizard pushes open a door and the two enter.

CUT TO:

INTERIOR......LARGE ROOM.....TORCH LIGHT

They are facing an altar in the center of a large room.
On the altar is a silver chalice and beside it is an
impressive figure. Bruce walks to the altar alone.

BRUCE:

Who are you?

DEVIL:

A vendor.

BRUCE:

What do you sell?

DEVIL:

Evil.

BRUCE:
(laughs)

You're the devil!

DEVIL:
(nods)

You may prefer to think of me as someone
who offers a choice. Outside they offer
you good. I offer you evil. They offer
you give, I offer you take. They offer
you hope, I offer you POWER.

BRUCE:

Get off it. Nobody in his right mind
would make a bargain with the devil.

DEVIL:

Oh sure they would, and they do, all the
time Bruce. Think of it. Right here in
this chalice is the very substance of evil,
blackness itself, rebellion in its highest
form, one single instant of true freedom
and complete power. Power, my boy,
complete mastery.
