Claude & Marianne B

link
Claude, Marianne enter the scene
link
Claude
volume_up

Marianne... Please accept my apologies for my behavior yesterday.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm not sure what you mean.
link
Claude
volume_up

Asking you about your family like that was pretty insensitive of me. No matter how curious I am, that's no way to treat someone. I'm sorry.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh, no. You weren't being insensitive, I just didn't want to talk about it.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I don't spend much time talking about myself. Not to people, anyway.
link
Claude
volume_up

If not people...then with who? Unpeople? Nonpeople?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well, yes. I'm much more comfortable talking to anyone who isn't a person.
link
Claude
volume_up

I was actually joking, but...now I'm mystified. Who is it you like to talk to?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Dorte the horse.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ah, of course! Good ol' Dorte. And does he understand what you tell him?
link
Marianne
volume_up

We understand each other. He tells me when he's sleepy, or when his stomach hurts, or if his nose itches.
link
Marianne
volume_up

We understand each other. He tells me when he's sleepy, or when his stomach hurts, or if his nose itches.
link
Claude
volume_up

Sounds like a complainer, that Dorte. But let's table this fascinating discussion for just a moment.
link
Claude
volume_up

Now that we've gotten in some small talk, I'd like to know what you're hiding. You are hiding something, right? Your lineage, perhaps?
link
Marianne
volume_up

N-no...
link
Claude
volume_up

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If it's all just idle gossip, that's fine too.
link
Claude
volume_up

But if it's something silly like, "my ancestors were cursed, therefore I'm cursed," you should know that I won't accept that nonsense.
link
Claude
volume_up

That sort of thinking is stupid, and that's all there is to it.
link
Claude
volume_up

Say your ancestors were thieves. Does that make you a thief, even if you've never stolen a thing? Of course not.
link
Marianne
volume_up

But people have burdens to bear from the moment they're born.
link
Marianne
volume_up

My burdens are so big that I...I'm sorry. I can't discuss this anymore.
link
Marianne leaves the scene
link
Claude
volume_up

People certainly are born with burdens... She's right about that.
link
Claude
volume_up

But, Marianne... Don't you know that you can choose not to carry them?
