Transcript

1. Sydney: [sighs] I want to die.
3. Emma: Should I like...be concerned?
4. Sydney: It's 2025, choose whatever you want to do...or to be
5. Emma: Just...don't kill yourself...
6. Emma: ...for now, maybe.
8. Sydney: What do you mean for now?
9. Emma: Uh, maybe I don't wanna live in a haunted place? (sarcasm)
10. Sydney: [scoffs] You think I'd be haunting here if I died?
11. Emma: Well, bitch, we're still sharing rent.
12. Sydney: Find a new roommate.
13. Emma: Ugh.
14. Sydney: Besides…
15. Sydney: There's nothing after we die.
16. Sydney: Like we don't have consciousness anymore.
17. Sydney: Nothing…
20. Sydney: If I were a celebrity or a very successful person, I'd be pissed about it, honestly.
21. Emma: I thought you don't care about those people?
22. Sydney: I literally have mcr posters on the wall.
24. Emma: Whatever.
26. Emma: Anyway, can you put this topic away?
27. Emma: I'm trying to get ready here
28. Emma: and I don't want your negativity ruining my day.
32. Sydney: Where are you even going?
33. Emma: Out.
34. Sydney: Just an answer I was looking for.
35. Emma: [scoffs slightly] You're not coming with me.
37. Sydney: I didn’t even ask–
38. Sydney: but what? Why?
39. Emma: Uh, I don't want my girls to know I live with you?
40. Sydney: Now what's with me?
41. Emma: Literally a minute ago you announced to the world you want to die.
42. Sydney: You're not my world.
43. Emma: You know what I'm trying to say.
44. Sydney: But how do you still see the worth of living on this planet?
45. Sydney: Like, we exist,
46. Sydney: get educated
47. Sydney: then what? Make money for the rest of our lives?
48. Sydney: While there are still people out there who don't even have an access to education?
50. Emma: I mean what can people like us do?
51. Emma: [shrugs] Gotta do it for the bag.
52. Sydney: But you can't even be yourself at work.
53. Sydney: You gotta put a smile on
55. Sydney: and pretend that you're interested in your boss’s lame stories?
56. Sydney: Like I don't care about your kid, Richard.
57. Sydney: [groans]
58. Sydney: Now I'm starting to think...are we born just to please the bigger people?
59. Emma: Maybe. Like I said, do it for the bag.
60. Sydney: Yeah, like I did ask to be born.
61. Emma: Oh my gosh, am I talking to a 14 year old me right now?
62. Emma: Hi, 14 year old Emma!
64. Sydney: ...Can I kill you? Tonight? Maybe?
65. Emma: Kill me or kill yourself.
66. Emma: You can choose only one option in this economy.
67. Sydney: The second one.
68. Emma: Anyway, if you hate society so much, why don't you do something about it then? fix it, do it like the punks. Do like what Sex Pistols did.
69. Sydney: I don't have a band.
70. Emma: But if you hate something so much, you have to do something about it. Either try to fix it or adapt to it.
72. [a satisfied noise can be added here]
73. Sydney: Anyway, how did you know about punk stuff?
74. Emma: It's the 21st century and we have a thing called the internet?
75. Sydney: But how does someone like you have information about bands?
76. Emma: Don't worry about it.
77. Emma: Okay, I'm off now
78. Emma: and don't “off” yourself while I'm gone.
79. Emma: We still share rent.
80. Emma: See ya, Sydney!
81. Sydney: Spoiled brat.
82. Sydney: No, she literally lives in this rat hole with me...sold out.
