Episode 5: Lady and the Tramp (Are the Same Thing in This Case)
Marcus: Brr...it's pretty cold out here..heh...you'd think after all the years in the arctic, I'd be used to such weather.. and this isn't even close to that..I guess I really have lost my familiarity to home..I lost the bond to the Arctic. I lost the understanding that I felt I had of a place most people never did..It was more to me..but I lost it. Therefore, I guess I lost myself...wait..what the fuck am I talking about?
Andrea: Well, I think..
Marcus: This is not time to think...not for you anyway. We may have had a nice chat..you're certainly the nicest girl I've ever met..working girl or otherwise..the question is..do you have your work cut out for you?
Andrea: Uh...what do you mean, Marcus?
Marcus: You know what I mean. You've been doing this enough..don't play dumb with me. I don't buy that shit.
Andrea: Marcus..I thought we were getting along so well...what's happening to you?
Marcus: Damn it, Andrea! I don't like this, and neither do you. But this is life..I said some shit back there to you.. and I probably shouldn't have said nothin' in retrospect..it's got to be this goddamn harsh icy weather..the world..really is FUCKING WITH ME!
Andrea: Calm down, Marcus. It's going to be fine. We'll get to Dr. Redwood and go away..to Onett. And..we'll..we'll..
Marcus: We'll what?
Andrea: We'll be... happy?
Marcus: Happy? I don't think I'll ever be happy again...
Andrea: Huh?
Marcus: ...and trust me..If I'm not, you're not..
Andrea: What, so you just wanna drag me down? As if I could fall any further at this point..
Marcus: No..that's not what I meant! I.. life has hit me like a ton of bricks a hundred times...this world has ripped me a new one so many times I lost count! That kind of anguish tends to spread...'sigh" remember when I said you knew what you were in for when you took this job..
Andrea: Yeah?
Marcus: I think I lied...
Andrea: Um...Marcus?
Marcus: Alright, enough talk...get over here...time for this fuckin' tedious trip to pay off at last..
Andrea: "surprised" Uh...um..ok.. "walks over to Marcus"
Marcus: "smirks" Alright, you know what to do..
Andrea: Um...right.. "starts to undress"
Marcus: Mmmm...
Andrea: "looks very sad and ashamed"
Marcus: "sees her face" "loses his smile" ..."sigh"...fuck...
Andrea: "looks at him" Uh?
Marcus: Don't..
Andrea: What? What do you-
Marcus: Just stop..stop and sit down..
Andrea: I don't...I don't understand.
Marcus: I can't do this...you're a human being ...and I'm treating you like an animal..you deserve better...but me...I can't even.. "clenches his fists"
Andrea: Um..
Marcus: I can't even say anything "real"...without renouncing it..without...blaming it on the fucking WEATHER!...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME, ANDREA?
Andrea: Um...
Marcus: Oh, God!... "buries his face in his hands"
Andrea: Mr...Mr. Marcus..I think...the real you..is not..always what you say..or how you live..
Marcus: "looks up" Huh? What?
Andrea: Yeah..I think..the real you..is how you think..what you really truly believe..
Marcus: Huh...
Andrea: And, you told me all of what ... of what you believe today..and I know who you are...maybe more than you do..
Marcus: Hmm..
Andrea: You see, Marcus, I think what you are is what you thought you couldn't ever be..the true nightmare deep in every person's mind..it's every one of of ten people, who end up living that way too though..but it's not real...the real is still there... we just have to find it..
Marcus: "looks at Andrea and smiles.." Thanks, Andrea.
Andrea: "Smiles"
Marcus: Well, we should get some sleep..
Andrea: Ok, goodnight.. "turns around and lays down"
Marcus: Hey, Andrea..
Andrea: Yeah?
Marcus: "sighs, then laughs" We are one fucked up two outta twenty aren't we?
Andrea: "smles" ...Not for long I hope..
