Scene 3 - A room containing a large cubicle with two curtained doors. A sign reads "Courage-Testing Machine." Wild psychedelic colors, music, etc. The hag asks Marlow for a shilling, then pulls a lever. The curtains open revealing inside one curtain a horrible MONSTER, in the other, a scantily-clad WOMAN. Both beckon to Marlow, who makes no move. Moby urges him on, but he replies that he has no argument with the monster and no desire for the woman. The hag informs him his courage level is zero. She closes the curtains, but Moby pleads with Marlow to give her a shilling so he can test his courage. Marlow hands the hag a coin
Not waiting for the curtains to open, Moby enters with the MONSTER. We hear blows, bellows, then a loud belch. Moby reappears, picking his teeth. He enters the WOMAN’s door. Screams, then coy laughter. The two come out, the WOMAN gives MOBY a peck on the cheek, then strolls offstage. The hag tells Moby his score is one hundred. Marlow asks if his friend gets a prize.
HAG
'E ate the monster and 'ad the woman. What d’you want
for a shillin'?
