[Enter Mephistopheles]
Mephistopheles: Call Faustus call, it shall do you no good. Lucifer’s deal is binding. Thy Lord has forsaken
thee and thine hour has come.
Mephistopheles: Stop old man, or I will tear you to pieces where you stand.
Old Man: O foul devil, I am not scared of thee. My faith is too strong. Come and perish.
[Exit Mephistopheles]
[Thunder and Lightning]
[Enter Lucifer]
Old Man [Making the sign of a cross]: Thou hast come. Fiend art thou. Mine dreams have shown their
wicked face. Thine eyes, thine claws, the blood that falls from thy fangs. Ha! You creature of darkness. You
were once creature of God.
Lucifer: What God would thou speak of? Come old man let thou not speak of tales of Olympus.
Faustus [Very afraid and trembling]: Mine own blood drips from his fangs. Mine own. Mine! O’ Faustus
what hast thou done.
Old Man [Holding fast]: I talk not of Olympus ruled by the king. Nor the sea ruled by his brother. But of he
who rules Eden and the world. Hell and the Heavens. The only Being you fear. And the only Being you
envy.
Lucifer: I am Lucifer, Lord of the Darkness, powerful and mighty, he who defied God. Who can claim the
same? You, Old Man? There is no power I fear, nor envy. Look at me. Open your eyes and your heart.
Old Man: [quivering] No! No! No. How can this be? I feel a veil coming over my eyes, like the mist of
night. Aaah O’ God! O’ God!
Old Man [On his knees]: They say thou grants whatever is asked of you.
Lucifer: Speakest thou again of power? Bent to me will be the heavens. Speak what thou wills.
Old Man: Ah! God be with me! But what of this. [Aside] What gifts he offers. Ah, at long last. The time has
come to pass. Shalt thou stay ‘ere and follow what thou desirest the most?
Faustus: Oh! Faustus you fool! Save thyself! Faustus fly! Repent! Lest thou art forsaken!
Faustus [Shaking and whispering]: No! Thy God! Think of thy God!
Faustus [horror on his face]: No! No! Thou hast doomed us all!
[Exeunt, Faustus with Devils, Old Man with Brad Pitt, Lucifer with Helen]
