ANNIE

It's okay. Don't cry.

YOUNGEST VAGRANT

I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry. I& I& I just miss me mum and me dad.

JACK

It's okay. It's just& we don't want those guards to hear you&

OLDEST VAGRANT

First Mum got the fever, then it was dad, and they was afraid we'd get sick, too. So they sent us out to find me dad's brother. For him to keep us for a bit.

YOUNGEST VAGRANT

But we got lost.

OLDEST VAGRANT

And we was only looking for work to keep some food in our bellies&

ANNIE

That's terrible.

JACK

I have an idea. Harry, we know you won't talk o the guards, but maybe you'll talk to us? You're the Duke's brother& you must know where there's a secret passage out of here.

(HARRY turns away from JACK.)

OLDEST VAGRANT

It's no use trying. We already asked.

YOUNGEST VAGRANT

Harry's not got the fever, but he's got a heart that's sick.

ANNIE

Is that true, Harry?

(HARRY looks to ANNIE, a hopeless look on his face)

But if you give up hope, then the mean guys win.

SIDE 2

JACK

So, Harry, can you tell us about the secret passage?

HARRY

There are two. One leads to the moat, the other leads to the orchard.

ANNIE

Two! Can you draw us a map of where thy are?

HARRY

If I had parchment and quill I could draw a map of the whole castle. But&

JACK

I have a pencil and paper!

(JACK goes to retrieve his notebook and pen and sees his flashlight in the backpack. JACK turns on the flashlight and tries to hand the notebook and pencil to HARRY.)

And here, so you can see better.

(HARRY and the DUNGEON MATES shriek and shield their eyes!)

HARRY

Child! Tell me, what dost thou carry?

OLDEST VAGRANT

Is it a wand? A magic wand? Like the wizards carry?

JACK

It's just a& oh, right. Of course. It's okay, don't be afraid.
