Maya
You're so stupid
Elijah
That's why you love me. SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? (this develops into a talkie chant. It is a song that wants to start, but can't.)
Maya
I don't love you.
Elijah
You don't? Then I'm leaving.
Maya
Elijah!
Elijah
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
Maya
Come back.
Elijah
What? You said that you didn't.
Maya
I don't. Not I didn't. Come here.
Elijah
Cum? Right here?
Maya
Stop.
Elijah
You want me.
Maya
You want you.
Elijah
You do too and so that's why I'm asking you WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? I win. You rolled your eyes.
Maya
Just cause I roll my eyes, does not mean that you win.
Elijah
I win.
Maya
I win just for putting up with all of your shit.
Elijah
You put up with my shit cause you love me.
Maya
So?
Elijah
So. I win.
Maya
Fine. You win.
Elijah
What's wrong?
Maya
Nothing is wrong.
Elijah
Nofing is wrong!
Maya
Don't put "f's" for "th's".
Elijah
Happy birfday!
Maya
Stop.
Elijah
Say "it's my birfday!"
Maya
It's not.
Elijah
Hey! What's up!
Maya
Nothing is up!
Elijah
My dick's up right now.
Maya
What else is new.
Elijah
You're pissed off?
Maya
I'm pissed off and so, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
Elijah
What are you bloody?
Maya
Excuse me. I…
Elijah
I'm joking. Oh come on, I'm fucking joking.
Maya
Don't joke.
Elijah
Show me your journal.
Maya
No. Please no.
Elijah
Show me your journal. I haven't read in a week. (pause) I'll leave.
Maya
Fuck you. You can't read my journal. Fine. Wait.
Elijah
(reading) "I dreamt last night of the little girl. Now she wasn't walking in the land of the dead; She was dead in the Land of the living. And she was covered with a cloth, and laying next to her mother. But her mother wasn't crying at all. And I came into the room to pay my respects, and all I kept wanting to do was to take the cover off the girl and see her face. But before I could, they wrapped her in a goat skin and the men carried her off to be buried. And I just felt awful for not having seen her face. I sat there and no one was crying and no one was speaking and she was gone forever. And then I woke up and I was thinking about Pater Clare. When I saw him last week, he said we did not choose to cut our own throats. And now I keep thinking that we are cutting deeper and deeper and can't even see the misery that we are inflicting on ourselves. It isn't just them. It's us too. " That's it?
Maya
Did you think there'd be something about you.
Elijah
No, I just thought you had more sense than to turn into a dove lover.
Maya
I'm not a dove lover. I don't like murder. And I think that we have to see our role in our pain.
Elijah
So we should let the men who murdered my family go free?
Maya
If it means we can stop this madness and talk rationally, yes.
Elijah
What the fuck is rational here? If you reward evil with good, how the hell do you reward good?
Maya
Stop yelling.
Elijah
I'm not yelling! Look at this place!
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF THEY COME FOR YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME TO YOU AND TELL YOU
THE WORLD YOU KNOW IT IS A LIE?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN THEY HATE YOU?
WHEN DO YOU DO WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ON YOUR SIDE?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN YOU MORALS ALL ESCAPE YOU?
YOU LEARN YOUR GOD WAS IN YOUR MIND.
AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO, YOU.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
OOOOOO.
Maya
TELL ME WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF I LOVE YOU?
Elijah
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF MY LOVE IS A LIE?
Maya
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF I STAY HERE AND SIT WITH YOU UNDERNEATHE THE MOONLIT SKY? AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO. YOU.
Elijah
I'LL KISS YOU AND TELL YOU GOOD NIGHT. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF I LOVE YOU?
Maya
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF MY LOVE IS A LIE?
Both
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF THE MOON FALLS AND TAKES YOU
Elijah
I'D COME AND FIND YOU EVERY NIGHT. AND I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO. YOU.
Maya
I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO. YOU.
