Checkmate.

This is a stupid game.

Q

I thought you liked it.

A

I liked checkers. The pieces were nice and round. These just look deformed.

Q

Just because they’re not identical doesn’t mean they’re deformed.

A

They’re dented.

Q

Is it possible that maybe you just don’t like losing?

A

I only lose because the rules make no sense.

Q

Okay.

A

Some of the pieces can go diagonally, but others can only go straight, but they all
look like misshapen blobs and I don’t know how you’re supposed to distinguish
between any of them.

Q

The shapes are really different.

A

And then apparently if you capture one of my blobs, you win, but just that one,
none of the others, and heaven forbid I be able to tell which one it is.

Q

I’ve told you, it’s the king.

A

And what makes him the king?

He has a crown. Look.

A

That one has a crown too.

Q

Yes, but that’s the queen. She’s different.

A

Why?

11
Q

She can move differently. The king can only move one square at a time, but the
queen is your most powerful piece. She can move almost anywhere.

A

So she’s more powerful, but if I capture her, I don’t win. It makes no sense

Q

It’s about politics… (MOON groans and falls back on the floor) … and strategy

A

It’s messy!

We don’t have to keep playing if you hate it so much.

A

But you like it.

You could like it, too, if you actually tried to learn the rules

Maybe one day you’ll listen.

Maybe I just don’t like chess.

Q

It’s so elegant. You have to watch everything and how it fits together. Nothing is
insignificant.

Exactly. How do you know what to focus on?

Q

Are you sure?

A

I don’t know! Sure, yes, why not?

28
Q

It’s okay, I promise, you’re getting better.

A

stop it.

29
Q

No really. It’s complicated.

A

Don’t be so condescending. Remember, I almost beat you at checkers earlier.

30
Q

I know.

A

Give me another hundred years, and I’ll be beating you every time.

31
Q

A hundred years?
We have to talk about it.

A

No, we don’t.

32
Q

It was the ten-thousandth full moon yesterday.

A

Yes, thank you, I can count.

33
Q

You’re waning already.

A

That’s incredibly rude.

34
Q

You know what I’m saying.

A

Yes, I know what you’re saying, but we’re not going to talk about it.

35
Q

Why not?

A

We’re just not. Okay?

36
Q

We’re going to have to at some point.

A

No.

37
Q

I’m leaving.

A

Stop that. Stop saying that.

38
Q

You need to hear it.

A

I have heard it, now stop.

39
Q

Listen-

A

No. Not now.

40
Q

Then when?

A

I don’t know. I just… I don’t want to talk about it now.
It’s your move.

41
Q

You can’t cheat just because you’re in a bad mood.

A

Who’s cheating? This is the king, right?

42
Q

Yes.

A

Great. I win.

43
Q

No.

A

Yes, you said that if I capture the king, I win.

44
Q

Right, but-

A

Alright, so I’ve captured him. So I win.

45
Q

No.

A

Do you need to go over the rules again?

46
Q

Stop it.

A

Stop what?

47
Q

If this is because of what I said earlier-

A

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

48
Q

Look. You always knew this was temporary. Ten thousand cycles, that’s what they
said

A

I thought we’d dropped that.

49
Q

Well, obviously you hadn’t.

A

I said, I don’t want to talk about it.

50
Q

You knew this was coming.

A

That doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it.

51
Q

I’m not asking you to enjoy it.

A

No, you’re asking me to talk about it, which frankly, is even worse.

52
Q

So you want to just pretend it’s not going to happen?

A

Sure.

53
Q

And go on as normal.

A

Yes.

54
Q

And that’ll just make it go away?

A

Oh, for heaven’s sake, I’m not a child.

55
Q

I know.

A

Or an idiot. I’ve been here longer than your tiny mind can even begin to comprehend. I was here for eons before you and I’ll be here long after you’re gone, so there’s no need to be so patronizing.

56
Q

Okay. I was just trying to be nice.

A

Don’t. It’s annoying.
What are you doing?

57
Q

I want to play chess.

A

Again?

58
Q

Yes.

A

We just played.

59
Q

I know, but you’re being particularly frustrating today, so I feel like beating you at
chess.

A

Are you serious?

60
Q

Deadly.

A

I’m not going to play.

61
Q

Yes, you will.

A

Why?

62
Q

Because if you don’t play there’s no chance you’ll finally beat me instead.

A

I hate you.

63
Q

Okay.

A

You know that, right?

64
Q

I know.

A

And I get the first move.

65
Q

Naturally.

A

I really hate you.

66
Q

I know.

A

Damn it!
