Zosia
Carol, you may find this hard to believe, but yesterday was the greatest day in the history of humanity. Helen thought so, too.
No! Helen is not one of you!
Zosia
She joined us before she passed. She's gone, but all of her thoughts, her memories, they're right here. Should we tell you how much she loved you?
You bunch of ghouls! You are a goddamn bunch of grave-robbing psychopaths! You are the reason she is dead, and now you're gonna speak for her?! Fuck you! Fuck every single one of you!
Zosia
Carol, this gathering today -- we have high hopes for it.
Zosia
But as we say, your lives are your own.
Zosia
We can't really protect you from one another.
Okay, here's what's gonna happen: You're gonna forget everything you know about Helen. Every memory, every thought she ever had. Get her out of your head. Heads!
Zosia
Carol, we apologize if it--
Never mention her again, never think about her again. Only I get to remember her, you got that? Only me!
Zosia
If you'd like, we'd be happy to restore the rest of the lights--
No! Screw it, leave 'em off. Who gives a shit?
Zosia
Carol, is there anything we can do to cheer you up?
Cheer me up? Why? I'm fine! I'm so happy! There's nothing wrong with me that a fuckin' hand grenade wouldn't fix. You got one of those? Because I think that would be the perfect topper for the greatest week in human history.
You people make no goddamn sense, do you know that? "We wanna make you happy", you say. "Your life is your own", you say. And agency, I've got all this agency! But, I mean, I guess I have agency just until I don't?
Zosia
Carol, if you were walking by a lake and you saw somebody drowning, would you throw them a life preserver? Of course you would. You wouldn't think, you wouldn't wait, you wouldn't try to get consensus on it. You'd just throw it.
Zosia
You just don't know it.
Okay, if you're so accepting, then what about what you're trying to do to me now? Make me just like you, even though you know I do not want that.
Zosia
You want to change us too, don't you? Didn't you just ask if it's possible? There is something else to consider. We know what it feels like to be you. To be alone. To suffer. We've been you. But you've never been us.
Zosia
May we ask you a question?
Zosia
What was your best day writing?
Zosia
Really?
C'mon, you have other writers in there! You should know. That's like asking "Uh, what's the most fun you ever had getting your teeth drilled?"
Zosia
Oh, you poor, tortured artist.
You are trying to distract me. Knock me off-course. You rebuild my favorite diner. You jump for joy when I tell you I'm writing again, but it's all an act. It’s manipulative bullshit because you know I haven't given up. Admit it. Tell me you know I won't give up.
Zosia
We know. We wish you would. But it's also true we love Wycaro.
Carol Alright! Honesty. Let's go for it, cards on the table. I like you. You people, you... you, whatever. You're... There-- There's a lot of things that I like about you. But this? This is a trainwreck. This is unsustainable. It's mental illness. It's psychosis. You are starving and you can't even pick a goddamn Apple off a tree? I-- how...? Someone has to put the world right, even if it means you all leave me again. Even if it means that I'm...
[Zosia kisses Carol on the cheek. She flinches back, then kisses Zosia on the lips.]
