MONOLOGUE

I tried this before. I did, I tried it. It didn’t quite take. And I think...that it, the observance didn’t mean enough. Wasn’t meaning-full. And ultimately, that portfolio came back...blank. This time...we’ve got to fill it up.

No, we can’t load it up with sentiment and cliche. We can’t add what will eventually seem trite. This is the most defining moment of our lives, you know? It has to be full of whatever can’t run low.

Yes.

That works.
Yes! That—will—work.

What do you mean, what if it doesn’t? We just decided that it would. I mean, it either does or it doesn’t...what I heard you say just a second ago was that it would work. I didn’t hear any maybes or probablys. Was there subtext I missed?

Right.

Yes.

Right.

We just have to believe. That it...that we will be enough.
