Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Hey
man, that’s messed up we gotta leave this town.
I was starting to like it here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
You
act like you’re the only one losing something. After
you leave, I’m not going to have any friends. |
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Yeah
whatever man - it’s not that bad. Hey come over here.
[James walks over] Have you seen this before? It’s
the key to making money. |
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Yeah that’s
that new Cash Money CD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
I'm about
to take it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Smokin’
dope! You ain't about to take nothin’.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
For real.
I’m about to take it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
That’s
faulty. You promised me you wouldn't steal anything.
I ain't tryin’ to get caught up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
How are
you gonna get caught up if I steal it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Things happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Well if
you don’t let me steal it you ain't my folks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
I am your
folks......
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
[cutting
him off]
Alright then.
[R starts walking out of store. J grabs R’s arm.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Don't do
it!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
You done
lost yo’ dang mind grabbin’ my arm like that.
Who you think you are, Gandhi?
[R laughs and walks out of store with J right behind.
Alarm goes off.]
Dang! Here, hold this.
[throws J the bag.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Told you
stupid.
[Security Guard - Guardian of the Soul - walks in]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guardian:
|
|
What did
you take? [looks at R]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
I don't
know whatcha talkin' about. He stole it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Ha ha ha.
You smokin' DOPE! I ain't never stole in my life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Look in
the bag.
[starts to walk away but comes back]
I stole it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Told you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guardian:
|
|
Not so fast.
Both of you had a part in this situation. Now you must
go to the heart of the problem... Emotional Jail.
|

Scene
2
Time: 5:30
p.m.
Place: Emotional Jail; the Heart
At Rise: James and Robert have just been placed
in the same cell at Emotional Jail, the Heart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Man,
this whole situation is all bad. I can't believe you did
me dirty like this. I should've known. I can’t even
trust my own family, much less trust you. I thought you
were different, but you’re not. |
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Man,
you need to relax yo’ mind. They ain't finnin’
to do anything to you. Relax. |
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
RELAX???
You betrayed me. You’re destroying humanity. Do
you hear me? You’re tearing the heart of humanity
apart. Because of your fighting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
ME?? You’re
the one that can’t trust anyone. You’re the
one that’s skeptical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
So it’s
my fault, huh? It’s my fault your father left.
It’s my fault your mom can’t afford to live
here, huh?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
Yeah, and
it’s your fault your grandfather died.
[on the brink of crying]
And anyway, I don’t want to talk about it..........I'm
sorry. It’s just I don’t have any REAL friends.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
Me either.
You and I both know that for us to fight would mean
to tear apart civilization, moral integrity, and the
heart and mind of humans everywhere. If humans as well
as emotions don’t figure out how to resolve their
situations, it will eat away inside of them until it
gets to the heart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert
the Uncaring:
|
|
I never
thought about it like that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
James
the Skeptical:
|
|
It feels
like I just lifted a burden off my shoulders
[his arm starts to fade away]
Why am I fading?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guardian
of the Soul:
|
|
You two
have now fulfilled your purpose. You have made peace
and resolved your situation. You are free from your
emotional distress. And when you become free you become
enlightened. You will join me as a guide to help enlighten
the hearts and minds of individuals everywhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[they
fade the rest of the way out.] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
End. |
