"CUB, YOU LOOK A LITTLE BIT... BLUE"
"NO?"
"WHAT HAPPENNED???"
"WELL... YOU KNOW I WROTE A THEATER PLAY... WELL SO FAR I WROTE THREE, BUT... LOOK. I ASKED THE THEATER GROUP DIRECTOR IN CHILE, IT'S A WOMAN, AND WE ARE "FRIENDS" SO I ASKED HER IF I COULD GO TO A REHEARSAL, SO SHE SAID YES AND I WENT"
"???"
"WELL. I WAS JOKING LIKE ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN THE REHEARSAL STARTED, I HELPED SOME PEOPLE TO SING SOME SONGS THAT WERE IN FRENCH, GIVING THEM TIPS ABOUT PRONUNCIATION AND THEY WERE SINGING VEY LOUD SO I TOLD THEM NOT TO OR THEY COULD LOSE THEIR VOICES THE DAY AFTER, SO THE DIRECTOR WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT"
"AND?"
"I DON'T CARE IF SOMEONE LOOKS AT ME WITH ANGER, BUT... I WAS MAKING SOME SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THE REHEARSAL BETTER. SERIOUSLY MIKE, THE DIRECTOR MANAGED TO MAKE THE REHEARSAL LOOK LIKE A BORING MATH CLASS. AND IT WAS THEATEAR!!! A CREATIVE THING... SO SHE TOLD ME "YOU AND I HAVE TO TALK" AND SHE WALKED WITH ME SO NO ONE WOULD HEAR. SHE WAS VERY RUDE AND AGRESSIVE TO TELL ME NOT INTERRUPT WITH HER "WORK". I GOT VERY SURPRISED AS THE THEATER GROUP IMPROVISES ALL THE TIME... AND I GOT OUT OF THE SALOON AND SMOKED"
"SO YOU FELT HURT"
"I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT SHE SAID. IT'S NOT WHAT SHE SAID. STICKS AND STONES WILL BRAKE MY BONES. BUT I REALIZED THE DIRECTOR MAKES THE GROUP WORK IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY I WORK. WHAT MADE ME BLUE IS... I DON'T WANT THAT PLAY I WROTE BE MADE"
"MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT. WHAT IF YOU'RE OVERREACTING???"
"NO. LOOK. IT'S. I DELIVERED THE PLAY LIKE FIVE MONTHS AGO AND NOBODY HAS READ IT. AND IT IS SO FUN YOU READ IT IN A WHILE. AND I'VE ASKED TO THE LEADER WHO IS IN FRANCE AND HE DOESN'T TELL ME ANYTHING, NOT EVEN THE DIRECTOR HERE IN CHILE. WELL THE LEADER IN FRANCE HARDLY EVER ANSWER E-MAILS BUT HE DOES ANSWER ME. MY FATHER THINKS THAT WHEN HE ANSWERS AND E-MAIL IT'S BEYOND PARANORMAL"
"EXPLAIN ME MORE"
"LOOK. SO THE ONLY WAY I WOULD LET THAT PLAY BE MADE IS IF I AM THE DIRECTOR. BUT... I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. IT'S A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT, AND MY ONLY REWARD WOULD BE "SATISFACTION". AND SOME MONEY.. LIKE I NEED MORE MOTIVATION, OVERALL NOW, LOOK NOBODY HAS READ THE PLAY. THEY DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED. I HAVE THE COPYRIGHT. THAT PLAY WON'T HAPPEN."
"IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND"
"YES, BUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT, AND AS NOBODY HAS READ THE PLAY, WHY THEY WILL MOVE A FINGER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN??? THEY WON'T. BUT WHEN THE LEADER OF THE GROUP IN FRANCE GETS TO KNOW THIS, HE WON'T BE HAPPY WITH THE DIRECTOR IN CHILE. ANYWAY. I DON'T CARE."
"WHAT YOU'LL DO NOW?"
"I'LL ABOID GOING TO THE PLAYS FOR A WHILE UNTIL THINGS GET MORE BALANCED"
"WHAT A CRASH WITH REALITY. ANOTHER DREAM BROKEN. YOU'LL CRY???"
"NO BUT ALL THIS AND REALIZING ABOUT THE TRUTH... HAS SHAKEN ME"
"HUG ME!!!"
