					ALSIA
			Ten thousand Vlugtan Isiks.

					MARTUS
			Ten thousand Isiks... It won't be 
			easy to raise that kind of money.

					ALSIA
			I know.  I hope I can find an investor 
			in time.

	Which is exactly what Martus wanted.  It's his lucky day.

					MARTUS
			I might know someone.  But what kind 
			of return could they expect on their 
			investment?

					ALSIA
			Once I begin mining, I'll pay them 
			ten times ten thousand.

					MARTUS
				(smiles)
			Don't worry, Alsia.  I'll do 
			everything in my power to keep your 
			dream alive.

					ALSIA
			Martus, I don't know how to thank 
			you.

	Alsia kisses him on the cheek and EXITS the Club.
