(Jack's voice: Jack Dinosaur, Renaissance Art Dealer.)
(Rafael's voice: Hello, it's Rafael.)
(Jack's voice: Rafael? Where have you been?)
(Rafael's voice: I know I should have called.)
(Jack's voice: We had a meeting last week.)
(Rafael's voice: I'm sorry.)
(Jack's voice: Where were you?)
(Rafael's voice: I've been painting.)
(lights have come up on Rafael in his studio area, surrounded by paintings, talking on the phone...
and Jack in his office area - desk, phone, highback chair - facing upstage, smoking a cigar)
(pause)(Jack's highback chair turns to face the audience. He is Mephistopheles.)
(Mephistopheles steps across into Rafael's area, taking him by surprise.)Where are they?
(Rafael points at the easel.)
(Mephistopheles lifts a cover, looks at the painting.)What is this!!!
(pause)If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?
And then we'll both be happy. And fulfilled.
(Jack enters in his office area. He doesn't understand why it's a mess. He puzzles over the lit cigar in the ashtray)
(He picks up a canvas with a painting of Rex)And what is this?
(Meph's beeper goes off.)
(He rushes out of the scene.)(Rafael is left holding the painting of the Tyrannosaurus.)
(Jack takes a puff on the cigar and begins coughing and choking.)
(a gigantic slide of Rafael's Rex painting.)
