Momentum 34 (from DEADLINES, or the cliffs of the Net)
a.- In or out.
b.- I'll stay here, if you don't mind.
a.- No. Don't stay there. You won't be ok right out there.
b.- I'm better right here.
a.- No. Not there. You can´t feel better if you stay out there.
b.- So, May I stay or do I have to leave?
a.- You can go away or you can come in forever.
b.- I'm not bad here.
a.- There's nothing to be done on the bordeline. No taste. No fortune.
b.- Sometimes we feel better in the middle of nowhere.
a.- Why do you like silences so much? Don't you know that only the words have the power, the key and the fortune?
b.- May I stay or do I have to leave then?
a.- In or out. Loss or fortune.
b.- The wheel of Fortune.
a.- The wheel of Fortune. That's right. Its spinning, up and down... the world at your feet or just you at the feet of the world. Leave this world if I'm not longer your world.
b.- You are indeed.
a.- Ok. Come in. Come inside. Don't stay out there. You'll never be good out there.
b.- We cannot stop the wheel, you know.
a.- No. We can't. But remember: when you're at the top the wheel, I'll laugh and dance with you to the limit; and remember this as well: when you're down to earth, when the wheel mashes your neck, I'll cry over you and I'll die for you until the Fortune decides to give us her wings once again.
Momentum 31
a.- Morning.
b.- Hi. Morning.
a.- You know what?
b.- No, please.
a.- Sorry?
b.- Don't tell me what you're thinking, ok?
a.- I don't know what you mean.
b.- Please...
a.- So... Can't I tell you that it was amazing?
b.- This moment will never happen again, so I don't want to hear you.
Silence
a.- You devote yourself too much...
b (aside).- I give you devotion when I know that I have to do that. I do when my body asks me to do it. I do when my skin asks me to do it. I do when all my senses come and shout at me, come on, give him devotion, right now. And here I come, with all my senses.
You know, my skin participates too. And everything is just a bunch of kisses that I can't control while they're' scattering all over the floor.
Of course I want to give you devotion. Even the sky comes to me and tells me, if you haven't got enough, go ahead! And your eyes confess me all the amazing things that I prefer not to hear.
Of course I want to give you devotion. I give devotion even when I know that I'm going to lose everything, when I know you´re going to give me useless numbers to dial.
I give devotion eagerly to make you give me centuries, instead of numbers to dial, because I can rest in peace.
a.- Coffee?
b.- Will you give me your phone number?
Pause
a.- Coffee or tea?
b (aside).- And because I'm so sure that you're never going to look for me.
"Why are you flatterring me so lovely
if you are running away later so mockingly?"
