SPEAK:MAR
Well, nice observation genius!
Wow, you know, I never realised that!
Of COURSE I'm a massive bitch! Wouldn't you be?
Well, actually - YOU ARE.
But at least I have reasons for it!
Let's set aside YOU, which would be reason enough for Ghandi, and just concentrate on everything else!
My career is gone down the pipe! Just because you couldn't do one simple thing!
God... I just...
I just hate you so much!
Wow, it's like I can actually TASTE it...
It's like sour, under-ripe cherries in my mouth!
I'd just love to see you being remorselessly pounded into hamburger by some huge ape of a man with fists like sledgehammers...
God, I'm getting moist just thinking about it!

SPEAK:YOU
Oh, I get it...
Well, how about we have really, really angry sex?
That might help.

SPEAK:MAR
Sex?
With you?
Exactly how much cheap gin did your mother consume while you were in the womb? It has to be a lot, right?

SPEAK:YOU
Erm...
It was Thunderbird, actually.

SPEAK:MAR
Brilliant.
Everything just fell perfectly into place.
Well, there's nothing else for it.
Like it or not, I'm stuck with you. I can't have you running your whore mouth off to everyone about my discovery.
I'll just have to bite Daddy's ear for some more funding.

SPEAK:YOU
Daddy?

SPEAK:MAR
Yeah, he's rich as King Creosote. He invented the hat.
Made a mint out of it, the old bastard. He'll fund another trip if I cry hard enough.

SPEAK:YOU
He invented the hat? What hat?

SPEAK:MAR
Not WHAT hat you dink, THE hat.
He invented the entire concept.

SPEAK:YOU
How old is he?

SPEAK:MAR
Fifty-two, but what the hell does that have to do with anything? Why are we even discussing this?
I'm going to get on the phone to him, and soon as he wires the cash through we're coming back!
And next time, you WON'T fuck up!
You hear me?
EXIT

SPEAK:YOU
I hear you, Marina.
...
Like I hear the phantom call of the sea...
...
My junk sure hurts...
