Transcript

BERNICE BARLOW: Well, well.

LEV ARRIS: I'd, uhm, offer to buy you a drink, but you, uhm, you seem to be, uh, pretty well equipped.

BERNICE BARLOW: Yeah, that's what they all say, and it's always a fool who listens.

LEV ARRIS: Why?

BERNICE BARLOW: Haven't I seen you around here before?

LEV ARRIS: I thought that was supposed to be my line.

BERNICE BARLOW: I'm serious. You're that hot pilot, aren't you? You free this week?

LEV ARRIS: I am, but, uhm, I was hoping to hang onto my liver a while longer.

BERNICE BARLOW: A humorist... Tell me, ser hot pilot, you ever killed anybody?

LEV ARRIS: It's hard to avoid in my line of work.

BERNICE BARLOW: Do you want to kill someone else? I can pay.

LEV ARRIS: Who'd you have in mind?

BERNICE BARLOW: My old boss. It's the oldest story in the book. He says to me, Bernice, someday you're going to have my job. But first you need a little coaching. And I believed him. oh he coached me allright, and when promotion time came around, guess who got promoted? And guess who guess who got bimbo tracked?

LEV ARRIS: As you say, an old story.

BERNICE BARLOW: And a very old solution. Heart failure, oh. His. You interested?

LEV ARRIS: Depends on the payment.

BERNICE BARLOW: Cash on the barrelhead. And when I hear he's dead, 7,000.

Speaking

25th Anniversary

On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director Steve Hilliker released The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files.

Origin Museum VHS

A VHS tape digitized by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum included versions of edits 7 through 74.

DigitalVaultThe

On January 8, 2011 DigitalVaultThe posted two videos of four Privateer 2 cutscenes from a high quality source. Their origin is unknown.

YouTube Description

The Making of The Darkening

The Making of the Darkening includes behind-the-scenes footage from this scene.

Script

A The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.

(The player meets Bernice Barlow in the Rampant Robot on
Hephaestus.)


SC.350 INT. RAMPANT ROBOT, HEPHAESTUS

The Hephaestus version of a "fern bar". Green things
growing everywhere, robots holding potted plants, a small
meandering stream running through (with robot fish in it).

When the player clicks on BERNICE BARLOW below:

SC.351 ON BERNICE BARLOW

Sitting off to one side with a carafe of something blue.
She's about halfway down it, and doesn't look like stopping
any time soon. A handsome woman, tall, statuesque, but
with a mean and angry look in her eye. Arris ENTERS SHOT.
She looks up at him challengingly.

BERNICE
Well?
ARRIS
(mildly)
I'd offer to buy you a drink, but
you seem to already be pretty well
equipped.
BERNICE
Yeah, that's what they all say.
(makes a face)
And it's only a fool that listens.


BC.352 ANOTHER ANGLE

As Arris sits down by her -- but at a respectful distance.

ARRIS
Why?
BERNICE
(cocks her head at him)
Haven't I seen you around here
before?
ARRIS
I thought that was supposed to
be my line.
BERNICE
(LAUGHS)
No, I'm serious. You're that hot
pilot, aren't you. You free this
week?
ARRIS
(slightly dubious)
Yes, but I was hoping to hang
onto my liver a while longer.


SC.353 CLOSER - THE TWO OF THEM

BERNICE
A humorist. Listen, ser hot
pilot -- you ever killed
anybody?
ARRIS
It's hard to avoid, in this
line of work.
BERNICE
Wanna kill somebody else? I
can pay.
ARRIS
Who'd you have in mind?
BERNICE
My old boss.


SC.354 FAVORING BERNICE

BERNICE(CONT'D)
The oldest story in the book.
He says to me, "Bernice, you're
going to have my job some day.
But first you're going to need
some coaching."
(snorts)
And I believed it. Well, he
BERNICE (CONTD)
coached me, all right. But
when promotion time comes along,
guess who got promoted? And
guess who got bimbo-tracked?
ARRIS
As you say...an old story.
BERNICE
With an old solution. Heart
failure. His.
(beat: sidelong)
You interested?
ARRIS
Depends on the payment.
BERNICE
Cash on the barrelhead...when
I hear he's dead, seven thousand
CHOICE 1:
     ARRIS
      CHOICE 2:
     ARRIS
Seven thousand for stamping
on one big...sounds fair.
Killing corporate execs
isn't a smart way to
make a living. It gets
you noticed.
