Manuela & Cyril B

Cyril
Manuela? What's she doing down there?

Manuela
Ugh... What'd I do to deserve pain like this?

Manuela
Oh...right. Same thing as always.

Cyril
She seems fine. I oughta just keep walking. See no evil, right?

Manuela
Stay! Right! There!

Cyril
Ah!

Manuela
Cyril! It must be a little dollop of destiny, meeting you here!

Manuela
Listen, you wouldn't leave me when I need a little help, would you?

Cyril
Umm...

Cyril
OK, what do you need?

Manuela
That's my boy, Cyril. You're a saint.

Manuela
I don't want to be trouble, but get me water. And medicine. Now. Please?

Manuela
Phew! I feel a bit better now. Thank you so much, Cyril. My sweet, dear, little Cyril.

Cyril
Professor Manuela, why do you do this to yourself?

Cyril
It makes you feel so bad the next day I don't see the point.

Manuela
Oh, you know... Sometimes I'm upset, and... Well, that's it, really.

Manuela
It's not something a kid like you could understand. Maybe one day.

Manuela
Or not. Who knows. All I know is that my head aches...

Cyril
Professor, isn't this stuff why you keep running men off? And them running is what upsets ya. Then you do this all over again.

Manuela
You can't understand heartbreak until you've felt it for yourself.

Manuela
But when you're older, your heart will break, and I'll make sure to be there...to get you water and all that.

Cyril
Um... That's OK.

Manuela
You're always so nice and sweet, Cyril. I'll pay you back. Promise.

Cyril
Nope! No thanks! No reason to. You don't have to do anything.

Manuela
Oh, don't be shy! I'll be waiting in the wings for that little heart of yours to shatter.

Manuela
Hahaha! Oh, Cyril... What were you saying? I interrupted, I think.

Cyril
I was just saying I need to get going. Lotta work to do. Lots. OK. Bye.
