Promise the Night
“Markham, we have some more questions for you.
Markham: Haven’t you already had your pound of flesh? Why do you keep following me around?
Correspondent: Our readers are clamoring to know.
Markham: That’s what all you vultures say when you invade my privacy. (sigh) Go ahead.
Correspondent: What provisions will you bring for the big flight?
Markham: Some roast chicken. Dried fruit and nuts. Five flasks of coffee. I’ll need to stay awake, you know.
Correspondent: And how do you…how should I ask this? After all, there’s no W.C. at two thousand feet!
Markham: Can you possibly ask anything more personal? Even in the solitude of the cockpit, I can’t get away from you.
Correspondent: Mrs. Markham?
Markham: Very well. I’ve trained since I was a child to master my body’s needs.
