Booker + Macie

Booker:You up?

Booker:Hey, Macie girl, you awake?

Booker:I really need you to open your eyes, pretty girl.

Booker:MACIE.

Booker:I get it. I deserve your anger. But I would love more than anything to hear from you.

Booker:I hurt you. But I never meant to. If you’ll give me a chance to explain… Please, baby.

Booker + Macie

Booker:Sometimes when the stars are out and everything is quiet, I close my eyes and pretend I never left. I would’ve done so many things differently, Macie, but I can’t change the past.

Booker:I can only beg for a piece of your present. And that’s what I’m doing, baby, I'm begging you to talk to me.

Booker + McCall

Booker:She won’t answer me.

McCall:Can you blame her? In her mind you left without a word four years ago. Disappeared in the night like some kind of cat burglar.

Booker:Cat burglar? Is that the official term, Detective McCall?

McCall:Sure. Did you tell her where you are? Did you tell her what happened?

Booker:No.

McCall:Still lying to the girl, I see.

Booker:You mean still protecting her?

McCall:Sure.

Booker:Has her number changed by any chance?

McCall:Nope.

Booker:Think you could help a cousin out and get your bestie to talk to me?

McCall:Nope.

Booker:Asshole.

McCall:Maybe try telling her the truth for once, and I bet she’ll answer you. She may hate you, but she’s not heartless.

Booker:I don’t want her pity.

McCall:Beggars can’t be choosers, my friend.

Booker + Macie

Booker:I know you aren’t speaking to me. But these messages say read, so I know you’re seeing them. And I know you have the same number because I checked with McCall.

Booker:Macie, baby, you can ignore me as long as you want. I won’t stop trying, though.
