Grey: You are just me, and crazy people talk to themselves.. so no. Blue: I’m not you! Grey: Yes you are! Frame 2 Blue: Okay well than you are as much me then as I am you. Grey: That doesn’t make any sense! Gagh! Now you are making me act all crazy! Blue: Grey, c’mon. Grey: Not my name! Frame 3. Blue: Lillian, then? Lillian: That’s what people call me. Blue: Well that’s what people call all of us. Do you even like it? Lillian: No. Blue: What? You’re staring.. well glaring. Frame 4. Lilian: You are that me that always drinks wine and goes dancing: gay man me. Blue: Guilty. Do you like men? Wine? Lillian: Idk. No. Blue: Do you like dancing? Lillian: No. It’s stupid. What even is the point? Frame 5. Blue: But you do like cleaning, right? Lillian: Yes, I like order, everything in its place. Blue: Well, I don’t care. Mess doesn’t bother me. I love dancing. I like men. I wish I was in a man’s body. I can’t help how I feel. Feelings are not biddable things. I cannot summon them up. This is who I am. How I feel about the world and myself is me. You are not me. I can’t force myself to care about organizing the closet or get excited about labeling. I think, therefore I am, but it is more than that. Frame 6. Blue: I feel, therefore I am! I don’t feel the way you feel. I am different. But that’s okay. I’m just real, too. Lillian: I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Frame 7. Blue looks downcast and Lillian is folding her arms defiantly and facing the wall. Blue: Okay… You know Lillian, I care about you. Ina way we are close than family. We are in this together. NO matter what, we can’t change that. I want you to be okay. I want us all to be okay… okay… bye. Frame 8: Blue is standing outside of the blue rom and is at the control panel with green. Green: How did it go? Blue: Idk.. but I tried to do what the new T suggested. Hoping that it helped… it’s hard to know.
