Q

Irina: no, not yet.

A

O!

21
Q

(Ophelia climbs into fort, silence, then to irinas tree)

A

Irina, what was it like? to work?

22
Q

Irina: you ask me everyday. Not much has changed.

A

Tell me again. Please.

23
Q

Irina: it was exhausting and invigorating. (…) look at my hands! Do you think I worked too hard?

A

They are not so different from mine. Yours are so warm! Mine are so cold, they are too soft. Dance with me. (Drop down) Lead me.

24
Q

Irina: you lead. You’re better at it.

A

Alright.
(They dance)

25
Q

(Irina breaks out, they laugh)

A

When did you learn to move like that?

26
Q

Irina: whenever I closed my eyes (…) war stories. Anytime I needed to.

A

Us?

27
Q

Irina: my sisters and I

A

Would he…catch you?

28
Q

Irina: at times, yes. He knew.

A

They always do.

29
Q

Irina: but each time was worth it. Every second. He’d bring me back to my lessons, some miracle drug in the paper , or some line of suitors coming over for dinner.

A

O, them. Can we not? Can’t we ever get a moments rest?

30
Q

Irina: we can always leave

A

So you’ve said.

31
Q

Irina: it’s time.

A

(Joins her around the tree)

32
Q

Irina: come, let’s go.

A

(Takes violet out of her mouth and leaves it. Exeunt)

33
Q

After third H and T scene: re entrance. Irina has a teacup.

A

Tea?

34
Q

Irina: tea.

A

(Sound of disgust)

35
Q

Irina: Hibiscus

A

Like muddy water. Give me coffee or give me death. Forse un caffe latte o un cappuccino o un caffè macchiato. That would be divine.

36
Q

Irina: divinity is something we haven’t talked about

A

Ah! Worse than tea. The waters of divinity are far muddier.

37
Q

Irina: that was clever but-

A

Cleverness will get you nowhere. I know. I know. I knooooooo-oooow.

38
Q

Irina: tell me what you know.

A

Tell ME what YOU know! You know more than me. Tell me a story.

39
Q

Irina: later.

A

Look. Looo-oook

40
Q

Irina: parla italiano con me

A

No

41
Q

Irina: per favore

A

What do you want me to say?

42
Q

Irina: qualcosa

A

Not right now, please. I’m tired. I’ve been up all night.

43
Q

Irina: gardening.

A

Yes. (Climbs)
Everything blooms here but that only makes gardening harder.
Everything blooms and so everything needs my attention. Bad tree. Wait your turn.
Tell me a story.

44
Q

Irina: Manho la minestra o salt’dalla finestra

A

I’d rather jump!
I will never learn Italian I am not Italian I am danish! Like the pastry, like the risengrod - ris a la mande, with extra cherries, like the autobahn, like the dog, and the man who wrote all those fairy tales!
Teach me danish or tell me a story!

45
Q

Irina: the autobahn is German

A

You probably don’t even know any Danish.

46
Q

Irina: Er du sindssyg? Du kan snake dansk med mig

A

You know everything.

47
Q

Irina: no one knows everything.

A

You do.

48
Q

Irina: no, I just know more than you. That’s why I’m trying to teach you.

A

Teach me by telling me a story. Tell me about the boat. About the big ocean and the boat and the storm. About the big waves. Tell me that one.

49
Q

Irina: you already know that one.

A

Tell me again. It was long ago, I don’t remember everything.
