ABSURDIST
A WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE approaches a DOG on the
street.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Oh dog, can you help me? I'm so sad.
DOG
Maybe I can, miss. What is your trouble?
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
My marriage has no love in it. I've lost my sense of self.
DOG
Is it hard to remember who you are? I have that trouble.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
I can remember when you weren't a dog, but the mayor.
MAYOR
I'm still the mayor, miss. My term isn't up, you just stopped
respecting me.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Oh, that's right. Will you ever be my lover again?
HER LOVER
I'm still your lover, miss. I've never stopped loving you.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
It's this town. Too business-like. Too many people following
their own agendas.
HER LOVER
You were always this worried. The inner you remember feeling
was always in the past, it's never been something that you've had.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Will you run away with me?
HER LOVER
Yes.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Will you be a dog when you do it?
DOG
Yes.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Will you fly me to where I want to go?
PEGASUS
Yes.
WOMAN IN AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Then let's go.
PEGASUS takes the woman to the southernmost island in GREECE.
She is not happy there either, but she becomes friends with a dance troupe and
stays vital and connected to the world until the end of her life.
