PLANET OF LOVE

CHARACTER
Imagine this:
You're driving. The sky's bright. You look great.
CHARACTER
In a word, in a phrase, it's a movie, you're the star, so-
-smile for the camera-
CHARACTER
-it's your big scene, you know your lines.
I'm the director. I'm in a helicopter. I have a megaphone and-
-you play along because-
CHARACTER
-you want to die for love,
you always have.

Imagine this:
You're pulling the car over. Somebody's waiting.
CHARACTER
You're going to die in your best friend's arms.
And you play along because it's funny, because it's written down, you've memorized it, it's all you know.
I say the phrases that keep it all going, and everybody plays along.

Imagine:
Someone's pulling a gun, and you're jumping into the middle of it.
CHARACTER
You didn't think it'd feel this way.
There's a gun in your hand. It feels hot. It feels oily.
CHARACTER
I'm the director and I'm screaming at you, I'm waving my arms in the sky, and-
-everyone's watching, everyone's curious, everyone's holding their breath.
