Randall’s breath was held tight in his throat as he nervously awaited Emily’s response, pulse pounding as he searched her face, trying to pick up on any sign of how she was to react to this-he was relieved when she finally replied, exhaling softly as she gave her response. Behind the mask, he’d raised an eyebrow at her comment about beauty being only skin deep (it was a phrase he’d heard before, just never in regards to himself...), her elaboration on how, no matter how attraction Don Juan was, no matter how women he had hanging off his arm, he would always be alone.
And that was true! Don Juan dropped these women as soon as he was done with them, leaving him empty and alone at the end (even if such a thing was never shown to bother him)…but what did that mean for Randall himself, he wondered? Did she mean to say that, despite his accursed ugliness, he wouldn’t be nearly as lonely as Don Juan was? He supposed that was true, now that he had Emily in his life, but still...did it mean that, maybe one day, he too could be loved, surrounded by good company?
He wasn’t quite sure of what to make of that, but he could see what Emily was getting, and despite that skepticism, he put on a smile for her, saying, “Th-Thank you, my dear, I...I’ve thought about that, how people still love Don Juan, despite what he does...even we in the audience are entranced by him, and we see all he does on the stage! But him being alone, despite all that...I-I hadn’t quite thought about that!”
#((i do too! if you enjoy that one; there's its sister film 'vault of horror' which also takes inspiration from ec comics like 'tales' does))#((as well as 'from beyond the grave' and 'dr. terror's house of horrors'; both of which i love-especially 'dr. terror'!))#((that one also has peter cushing in it alongside his best friend christopher lee; and it's just a whole lotta fun!))#((and of course moving a little more into contemporary horror anthologies there's the orginal 'creepshow'))#((which isn't quite as gory as the hbo tales but is a little bloodier than the '72 tales))#((but no less fun! it works HARD to emulate those lurid 50's comic book panels and it does it REALLY well; i highly recommend it as well!))#((and i absolutely think you're right-randall and emily AREN'T killers! despite the fact that nicholas killed them))#((and they'd be MORE than justified in getting that retribution they just won't! as tarzan told clayton: 'i'm not a man like you!'))#((and so randall and emily wouldn't stoop that low! in the case of 'you'll be in my heart' i think that was also that 'law of the jungle'))#((coming in to save the day; mother nature kinda comes in to put an end to nicholas; leaving randall and emily's hands clean in turn!))#((and i could see them be similarly guilt-free in 'death of a bachelor'! i'm thinking similarly to 'phantasm'))#((something will frighten nicholas and cause a chain reaction that leads to his demise!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Phantasm of the Mansion
