Act I
Scene 1
-Midgar. A dimly lit Wutian restaurant-
Gary:
I just think we should see other people. I feel like we're wasting our time here, you know? We've just grown apart, I suppose.I tried to get you to talk but you never would. Sometimes I feel like I'm dating the ice-woman, you know?Michelle:
What's that supposed to mean? You're going to end everything now? Is that it? Just because of a few problems?Gary:
A few problems? You're a robot, Michelle, you can't express yourself to others, you just change the subject! I just can't go on dating someone who spends more time on their friends than they do me! Jesus, Michelle, I feel like I'm a third wheel in this relationship!Michelle:
So you're blaming this all on Nina? The fact that you can't work on a relationship is her fault? You're not the one who came home to an empty house with a message on the answering machine saying you couldn't get away from work again! You cared more about you're work than you ever did me, I'd swear to God you were doing that secretary on the side. You practically lived in the Shinra building!Gary:
Oh that's rich! You couldn't even get a job, I supported you and your idiot roomate for over a year. Pause Look I just can't do it anymore ok? We're through. Here's your apartment key back.Michelle:
So you're serious this time? Is this really it? You've just wasted a whole year on us, are you happy now?Gary:
There never was an us, Michelle. It was only him and her.Exit Gary
Michelle:
{What the hell does he know? Guess it's just his loss. What am gonna do? I can't get a job, I've never even had one. I've gotta sort things out, what am I gonna tell Nina? I've got a lot of things on my mind. Could that just have been the last time I'll ever see him? Did he really mean that? I can relate to ther people just as well as he can, how dare he call me a robot. I'm independant, I don't need other people. I certainly don't need him. But...What is this I'm feeling? Is it guilt, sorrow or just anger? My heart feels like it's burning, I've never felt like this before. What is this? What is this feeling he's just given me, what is it that he's left behind in me?}
Wutian Waiter:
S'cuse me madam, your bill.End Scene 1, Act I
