Episode 2: She's Got Issues

Marcus: So, while we're on this long journey, I might as well ask..what made you want to be a prostitute?

Andrea: Urm...why do you wanna know?

Marcus: I'm just curious is all..now answer me!

Andrea: I didn't think you cared about me..like that.

Marcus: It's a simple goddamn question, don't make anything more out of it. Why must you make everything difficult!

Andrea: I'm...I'm sorry.

Marcus: Just forget it..Forget I said anything..It's not even important.

Andrea: Ok..

Marcus: That's what I get for trying to "mingle" with workers..

Andrea: ...I lost my family.

Marcus: "turns around and looks at her, shocked"...What?

Andrea: My family...they're gone..

Marcus: What happened?

Andrea: Well, it was just an ordinary night, like any other, and we..my mom, dad, and little brother..we were about to have dinner..soup, like usual.. and, I...the house.."starts crying"

Marcus: What, what was it?

Andrea: A fire..I don't know what or how, but it engulfed our house..I got out of there, but..."cries even more"

Marcus: ...Wow..

Andrea: "sniffle"

Marcus: I mean wow..A fire..in the Arctic? What are the odds? Man!

Andrea: "glares at Marcus" ...

Marcus: Oh, uh, I'm sorry..It's just..uh..so how did it happen?

Andrea: "wipes away her tears" ...Like I said, I don't know what happened to them, or the house...but I ran away..It wasn't safe there..I knew that much...I had to make money..for a plane ticket..I couldn't think of any other way...

Marcus: And now here you are..

Andrea: Pretty much, yeah..

Marcus: So, why are you still doing it?..

Andrea: Well, you know..old habits die hard..

Marcus: "turns back around and starts walking" Ain't that the truth..."sigh"..
