PHOENIX & DRAGON
on DEATH.
☯
PHOENIX: "We need to talk."
DRAGON: "I hate when you say this …"
PHOENIX: "How would you prefer I say it?"
DRAGON: "Just say what you have to say!"
PHOENIX: "I would like to talk to you about death."
DRAGON: "Oh, wait! WHAT? Lets not talk about death. No, wait, go back. I don't wanna talk."
"No way José!"
PHOENIX: "Yet you are not mindful with your life and the one of others, and you delight in watching violence. You seem fascinated with death and terrified of it at the same time?"
DRAGON: "Why do you have to be so blunt? Do you HAVE to be so direct about everything?
PHOENIX: "It has to be done."
DRAGON: "Freaks me right out."
PHOENIX: "Death is inevitable."
(DRAMATIC SILENCE)
"Would you rather WAIT until death comes knocking at your door?"
DRAGON: "I live in a cave; There is no door ..."
PHOENIX: *smiling
"My teacher used to tell me: 'A smart ass will get you a sore one.' He was right."
DRAGON: "Funny… Who was your teacher?"
PAUSE
PHOENIX: "He was a very very wise Dragon."
