Queen of Swords2000

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
Anything wrong?

Col. Luis Montoya:
No doubt you have heard about our latest bandit attack.

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
Ah, yes, how terrible. Luckily the young man was saved by the Queen of Swords.

Col. Luis Montoya:
It seems evident to me that the Queen in now in league with The Serpent.

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
I don't understand.

Col. Luis Montoya:
This rescue - just a weak attempt to impress the gullible.

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
Oh, I see. My, my. The Queen sure is the clever one, isn't she?

Col. Luis Montoya:
Not quite so clever as she thinks. But do not fear, Maria Theresa, soon the Queen and the Serpent will be dead and then this little pueblo of ours will once again be a paradise.

Maria Teresa Alvarado:
But remember, Colonel, even the Garden of Eden had its serpent. Apple?
