Transcript

MELISSA BANKS: Just look at you. I bet you've forgotten.

LEV ARRIS: Forgotten what?

MELISSA BANKS: Our anniversary.

LEV ARRIS: Our what?

MELISSA BANKS: It's the anniversary of the very first time we met. When I came out of nowhere and saved your life.

LEV ARRIS: That's not quite how I remember it.

MELISSA BANKS: Typical man.

LEV ARRIS: Sorry, do I know you?

MELISSA BANKS: In every concievable sense.

LEV ARRIS: I mean, your face is familiar, but...

MELISSA BANKS: Oh, that's a pity, seeing as I just booked a hotel suite with a freefall jacuzzi.

LEV ARRIS: Melissa! Happy anniversary, darling.

MELISSA BANKS: Do I know you, mister?

LEV ARRIS: Well don't you remember, you saved my life?

MELISSA BANKS: Somehow, I just can't recall.

LEV ARRIS: We, ah, we met at the Rampant Robot bar, you gave me a cure for dry lips.

MELISSA BANKS: I did?

LEV ARRIS: Listen, has the suite really got a free-fall jacuzzi?

MELISSA BANKS: You bet.

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.

Mythic VHS

A VHS tape digitized from the Origin material at EA Mythic indluded versions of edits 78 through 98.

Script

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

MELISSA BANKS ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE


(After SC 357, when Arris escorts her out of system:)

SC.432 (IN GAMEPLAY: COMPUTER GENERATED: VO ONLY)

MELISSA (VO)
Thanks again, Lev. For everything.
Let's get together again sometime,
okay?

(The player is able to run into Melissa several more times,
outside the main game flow. Perhaps this should be have
something to do with his "karma" level? But the
interactions can be plugged into any one of the various
bars.)


SC.438 CUT

5C.439 ON MELISSA - INT. SINNERS INN

Standing off to one side, supporting the bar and smiling at
Arris.

MELISSA
Just look at you. I bet you've
forgotten.
ARRIS
Forgotten what?
MELISSA
Our anniversary.
ARRIS
Our what?
MELISSA
It's the anniversary of the very
first time we met, when I came
out of nowhere and saved your life.
ARRIS
That's not quite how I remember
it.
MELISSA
Typical man.
ARRIS
Wait a minute...Do I know you?
MELISSA
In every conceivable sense.
ARRIS
I'm mean...your face is familiar, but...
MELISSA
Well, that's a pity, seeing as I've
just booked a hotel suite with a free
fall Jacuzzi.
ARRIS
(As though just seeing her)
Melissa! Happy anniversary, darling?
MELISSA
Do I know you, mister?


SC.440 WIDER

As they head off, arguing genially, and OUT OF SHOT.

ARRIS
Don't you remember? You saved my life...
MELISSA
Gee...somehow I just can't recall...
ARRIS
We met in Sinner's bar...you gave me a
cure for wet lips.
MELISSA
I did?
ARRIS
Hey, has this suite really got a free fall
Jacuzzi?
MELISSA
You bet.
