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.
