| Lightning: |
|
Why you
do that? You tried to stop yourself, wear off.
|
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Yeah, so what. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
What
you mean so what? I thought you was going to help me burn
down trees. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
I’m sick and tired of burning trees. I want
to do something better in my life than burn down trees.
I want friends. Someone to show me right from wrong. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
Are you sayin’ I can’t show you right from wrong? |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Obviously
you can’t show me what’s right ‘cause all
you been showin’ me is wrong. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I
think I been showin’ you how to get revenge on who
put out our mother and father. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
I love my
mother and father but I don’t want revenge.
I want revenge by doing the right thing. By showin’
them, growin’ up, doin’ the right thing, I
can be the fire that they wanted me to be.
|
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I
ain’t feeling you man! |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
You
just tried to hurt one of my friends, you tried to set
him on fire! I was just havin’ a good conversation
about me havin’ friends and you came and did that! |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
So
what! I don’t care about you havin’ a
conversation with a tree. I think trees had something
to do with our mom and dad being killed! |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
No,
not that one! That tree right there wants to be
my friend. The tree told me all I have to do is
stop burning stuff up and then I’d be able to have
friends. He told me if I don’t stop, the firemen
could come and put me out. I don’t want to
be put out! I want to have friends, I don’t
want to be known as a bully all my life. I want
friends that goin’ to keep me out of trouble, that’s
goin’ to tell me what’s right, that’s goin’
to show me respect for other things in the forest.
If I woulda had my mother and father I woulda been taught
right from wrong, I don’t know that right now that’s
why I want a friend- a good role model who could teach
me this stuff so I can change my way of thinkin’
negative stuff into positive stuff which would better
myself down the line in my life. |

| Lightning: |

BurntOut
, I feel your directionless. You didn’t even
know mom and dad! The right thing to do is get revenge!
And to get revenge, I’m going to burn everything
down. I’ve been cheated and annoyed.
I don’t know who did it but I feel everyone should
pay for it, except you. I want to set fires and
I really need your help. I need you lil bra to help
me finish off what I started. Come on lil bra.
Let’s do this for mom and dad. I really want
revenge for what happened. I want to show them they
made a bad mistake. They made us lose our family,
our loved ones. They left me on earth with you to
raise, which makes me feel helpless. You were helping
me out, now you want to stop. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
I
don’t want to be the bad guy all my life. I’m
tired of livin the way I been livin! Either respect
my mind and what I want or stay out of my life.
Point Blank. Who you with! |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I’m
with myself right now as I can see I’m going to get
revenge with or without you. It really doesn’t
matter. |
|
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
You
can hurt me, and my friends, big bra. You can hurt
me by getting my friend on fire and then you can hurt
my friends by killing them. And if it’s always
going to be fires, I’m not going to have any friends.
I feel you are trying to mess up my dream. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I
feel the same way too. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Why
you acting like this? You acting like you just want
to be a stone cold killer. Since your life is all
messed up, why should you mess up everybody elses.
Big Brother, I think you should be acting like a role
model. A person who should teach his younger brother
good things to do and to direct him to positive stuff
as he grows up. And I feel that you haven’t
did that. I don’t want to lose you big bra
but the way things are going, it seems like that’s
what I’m going to have to do. Move on with
my life. With or without you. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I
care for you, but if that’s the way you want it,
then you got it. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
I feel you
don’t care.’Cause your still tryin’ to
burn everything down. Kill everyone and everything.
That could lead to you killing me. If you keep starting
me, the firemen will put me out. I feel you’re
selfish.
|
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
Selfish?
Basically I took care of you. I brought you along
with me. I looked over you, fed you, watched over
you. I had no help. I did it by myself.
|
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
That was
then, but how you actin’ now?
|
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
How
am I actin’? |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Like
you don’t care for nothin! |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
What
you mean? I care for you! We had some good
times together…playin’, wrestling. I would
feel hostile and concerned if anythig were to threaten
you Burnt Out. The only person I’ve got is
my little brother. I trust you, it’s not easy
to find someone to trust. We know eachother well.
The only thing that makes me feel good is you and settin’
fires. And right now you’re making me feel
discouraged because I’m tryin’ to get something
done and you keep messin’ it up for me. |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
I’m
tired of this! You don’t care, you keep tryin’
to trick me into settin’ fires. |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I
don’t want to destroy you or what you want but if
you keep getting in my way, I’m going to have to
do what I have to do! (Lightning sets a tree on fire.) |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Why
you doin’ that? Stop! (Lightning sets
another tree on fire and another) |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
I’m
goin’ to prove to you that nothin’ or no one
can stop me! (sets some more trees on fire)
|
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
You’re killin’ my friends! |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
So
What! I’m mad! I’m mad cause you
don’t want to help me no more! I’m mad
‘cause mom and dad were put out! I’m mad
at the firemen! I’m mad at myself ‘cause
I don’t know who killed our parents! (Has
set all the trees on fire) |
| |
|
|
| Burnt
Out: |
|
Why?
Why you doin’ all this? There’s nothin’
left! Look at all this smoke! The firemen
are on their way… I can hear the sirens!
(Burnt Out sizzles as he is put out by the firemen.) |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Burnt
Out! Burnt Out! (no sound) Burnt
Out! (silence) |
| |
|
|
| Lightning: |
|
Rest
in Peace, Burnt Out. I remember when I was playin’
in the woods with you and we went back to where we used
to live and saw that mom and dad had been put out, water
had been thrown on them and smoke was all over the place.
I was mad and started goin’ around burnin’ stuff.
I messed up, cause I haven’t achieved nothin!
I didn’t get revenge on the people that killed our
mother and father, I killed you. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
