Elizabeth Allen: Roxanne Trent

Quotes 

• Roxanne Trent : It's been three years since Wilma Deering tried to destroy us! *Three* years. And I dream of that cabin fire almost every night.

  Roxanne Trent : [glancing at her artificial hand, a result of the incident three years earlier]  The flames, the heat, the pain.

  Commander Corliss : [kissing his wife's artificial hand]  As do I. We're going to pay them back.

  [Corliss and Roxanne observe hanger crew unloading large artillery-type shells from a freighter, each marked with ancient US military insignia and indentifying marks as chemical weaponry] 

  Commander Corliss : Soon all on Earth will be destroyed.

  [unnoticed by Corliss and Roxanne, also observing the unloading of chemical rounds is Roxanne's deaf-mute servant girl Alicia, whose eyes widen noticeably as she recognizes danger from the mysterious canisters] 

• [Roxanne Trent's mute servant, Alicia, is viewing a memory globe image of herself with her mother and father. Roxanne enters the room] 

  Roxanne Trent : What are you doing, Alicia?

  [Alicia quickly hides the memory globe] 

  Roxanne Trent : Your mind is always off elsewhere. Five years I've owned you, and you're always seem to be dreaming with your eyes wide open. If the market for Terran servants wasn't so depressed, I'd sell you in an instant. Well, don't just stand there, brush!

  [Alicia brushes Roxanne's hair. As Roxanne tries to open a perfume bottle, she drops it, revealing her right hand to be a crude metallic appendage that causes her pain. She then notices Alicia staring at the metallic hand] 

  Roxanne Trent : [ominously]  You were smiling.

  [Alicia shakes her head no, but enraged Roxanne brutally grabs her left wrist] 

  Roxanne Trent : You think I'm hideous! You think you're better than me because you have two normal hands. Well, I can rectify that!

  [Roxanne starts squeezing the mute girl's wrist with her artificial hand. Alicia winces her face in pain. Fortunately, a call for Roxanne in the intercom distracts her, so she lets go of Alicia's hand]
