SMALLGIRL: Yes -- but she seems so distant, sometimes. | SMALLGIRL: Yes -- but she seems so distant, sometimes. | ||

(the brawl has just ended: KONOKO and five opponents lay on the ground. (exhausted, groaning). | |||
We see the other ones helping their pales and carrying away the two of them who cannot stand up. Konoko is breathing deeply, closing her eyes- she looks as miserable as ever in defeat) | |||
(small hiatus, Oldman has probably ordered his men to clear the field) (The small girl stands apart but from her distance she cannot hear their words) | |||
BACK TO [[User:Guido]] | OLDMAN (laughs, as he approaches to her) (he is sincerely amused, there is no malevolence in his voice) “No-- Emery, let her be –“ (EMERY forgoes taking his “compensation�? for a broken lip) | ||
BACK TO [[WishlistPart1]] | EMERY: “-- Sir.�? | ||
FORWARD TO [[ | (In the background) | ||
MR. FAULKERS (cannot conceal his disapproval to EMERY, as they go away): “Shouldn’t we end it?�? | |||
(in the foreground) | |||
OLDMAN: (to KONOKO, after a pause) You are a freak. (still amused) The more you want to seem serious to me, the more you make yourself funny. | |||
KONOKO: Why —(groans) why don’t you stop haunting me!? | |||
(takes another breath, her nose is bleeding) | |||
OLDMAN: Have you asked yourself why I am so respected even by people I’ve never seen before? | |||
-- No… it is not the money they are given -- | |||
our governments only want us to remember why we need them – | |||
but now at edge of oblivion--many have realized that a promise of order and peace is no more enough, and there are no more protectors we can commit our obedient consent. | |||
KONOKO (painfully raises on her knees) “Return to your Syndicate nest, instead of wasting your time after me! | |||
I’ve never been your puppet…! | |||
OLDMAN: oh… (crouches) in the matter of company, your choices have been (getting equivocal) a bit questionable… | |||
(thoughtful) (leaning over) take this and clean your face… | |||
(very short pause) | |||
OLDMAN: (lowers his voice) honestly, I am not bothering you any more | |||
But these eyes remember | |||
you standing in front of that mech. | |||
The anger that drove you… | |||
(a nightmarish vision of Konoko confronting and taming Gerion) | |||
(By noticing her hesitation) | |||
Now, how do you think you can persuade me, | |||
By saying you’d like to be a paramedic? | |||
I can’t let yourself rot here, | |||
or protect forever a child. | |||
V.O:“You are crafting a place where nothing more can happen.�? | |||
Well, do you want to bring her with you? (emphasizing) Is it because she reminds you of someone you have lost? Keep her, then! But, when will you decide she is ready to go, heh? | |||
“Why do I fail you?�? | |||
OLDMAN: Look at yourself, you can barely stand. And what you get every day is people biting your face. | |||
Injustice? | |||
Take it for yourself! | |||
Now give your farewell to that girl. | |||
(small hiatus) | |||
OLDMAN … (sweetly, taking SMALLGIRL‘s hand, and drawing her close to Konoko) Come here, Cloe. Tell your friend where I promised you to go. | |||
(SMALLGIRL stands right in front of KONOKO, who remains on her knees. Konoko slowly plunges her face in the thick coat of SMALLGIRL.) | |||
SMALLGIRL: Why are you weeping? After all, he offers us to stay in a nice flat. | |||
OLDMAN: (to KONOKO) She is not leaving you, if you wish. | |||
(pause) | |||
But this place is slowly poisoning her. | |||
Consider this even. | |||
