PAST
Conor:Do you think about what will happen once you’re done?
Star:I don’t think I’ll ever be done.
Conor:Because you don’t think you’ll get to them?
**Ten minutes later**
Conor:Star? It’s okay. You know you can talk to me?
Star:I’m David in this fight, Conor. They’re Goliath. I know what I’m up against and I know God definitely isn’t on my side. I will accomplish what I can and I will die trying. That’s all I can do.
Conor:That’s ‘doing’ a hell of a lot.
Star:It’ll never be enough.
Star:I think, this past year, I’ve come to accept that.
Conor:You knew they were big but not as big as they are.
Star:Correct.
Conor:Star, you’re allowed a life.
Star:They almost took mine.
Conor:Almost, Star. Almost. But they didn’t. You got out. You fought your way out. You deserve to live.
Star:I AM living. I’m doing what I was put on this earth to do. I’m giving voices to the women who weren’t as privileged as me.
Conor:I think you can do all that and be happy too.
Star:You make me happy.
Conor:Me?
Star:Yes.
Conor:I didn’t expect you to say that.
Star:No. But I realized I’ve never told you how much I appreciate you, Conor. I wanted to before it was too late.
Conor:Too late for what?
Star:I don’t know. Before I fuck this up.
Conor:You got a game plan I don’t know about?
Star:I exist in chaos. You know that.
Conor:Luckily for you, chaos is my jam.
Star::P
Conor:I like that you can always surprise me. It keeps me on my toes.
Star:You get bored easily.
