After H and T lie down together on page 12
Entrance and: Why are you following me?
Hamlet: where is he?
Who?
Hamlet: Your father. Where is he?
He’s gone.
Hamlet: Good. (He tries to kiss her)
Don’t do that. Are you well?
Hamlet: no. Yes. Yes. No. Sorry.
You’re freezing.
Hamlet: it’s hot. I can’t breathe.
Breathe with me.
(Passes string off to him) yes. There. (They dance)
What are you looking for?
Hamlet: him.
I told you, he’s not here.
Hamlet: no not him my- I saw my-
What did you see?
Hamlet: Nothing. I’m - I hurt you.
You did.
Hamlet: I had to. I love-
Don’t.
Hamlet: you’re nothing like I remember.
Like a dream. Greased around the edges.
Hamlet: A dream? No more? I’m not asleep am I?
Are you?
(Take string, drops violet)
Irina’s entrance
My hands are filthy. I think I’m done. Can I be done?
Irina: that’s up to you. You decide.
I don’t like that. Tell me I am done.
Irina: I can’t. It’s not up to me. You decide.
(Groans and rolls to the ground, dips herself in the hole, laughs, stands in it, rests hands)
After hole business
Yea, I think I am done now. For today. When can we leave?
Irina: whenever we want.
You make everything sound so easy. It’s annoying. I’m tired of waiting.
Irina: no one is making you wait, Ophelia. It’s all up to you.
Well then, I’ll leave. But…
Irina: yes?
Dance with me!
