"Idiot!" "I have to shoot you again." "You already did." "You are dead!" "I've killed you three times!" "You must be lying!" "You can't come back to life this many times!" "But I don't want to be killed." "Always killed and murdered." " We're playing war, you know?" " But no one kills you?" "You are my prisoner." "I have to shoot you." "You want some?" "Please, take one!" "Take one!" " It's better to play Mom and Dad." " No." "Let's play the wounded." "I will be hurt and you bandage my wounds." "But I want to play Dad and Mum." "It's more interesting to play wounded and dead." " I will be the wounded." " And who hurt you?" "Me?" " What?" " Who hurt you?" "I will be wounded in the jungle down there." "When I am hurt I will crawl to the sea." "And you hear me groan." "What's up?" "Don't you want to play with me?" " Then you will follow the rules of the game!" " Okay, okay." "As soon as you see me coming out of the sea," "You start screaming And you tear your dress." " But nurses don't cry." " You're my wife, not a nurse." "In the jungle, there are no nurses." "Bye then." "Oh, my dear!" "Oh, my love!" "Oh oh oh!" "They haven't shot me yet!" "There's been no battle!" "I cried too soon?" "You don't see me until you're out of the woods." "Is that clear?" "It's when I come out, That's when you start crying." "And then you come to help me, And so on." "Clear?" " I'd rather play Mom and Dad." " Then I'm going home." "Don't go home yet." "Tell me, can time die?" " What?" " The weather!" "You can't play." "You're always wrong." "I'm never wrong when playing the Dad and Mom game." "I though it was you screaming." "Now I want to play right." "All right." "Let's try again." "Wait for me to crawl out of the forest, then scream." "I can make lunch?" " If you want," " What do you want me to make?" "Steak, with cauliflower and beans, like last time?" "steak and beans, steak and beans ... you know what?" "How can a husband and live and work normally, if you only feed him that?" "Today I want lamb with red sauce!" "Steak with beans ..." " I'll make a mint sauce." "How about that?" " Okay." "Lots of sauce." "Then bye." "Bye dear." "How!" "I didn't even shoot!" "Tell me, what did you see when you died?" "How can she speak if she's dead?" "The lamb with mint sauce is ready on the table!" "See'll speak, if I order her to!" "Jenny, you were killed." "Now you can get up." "And if she's really dead?" "I'll move the hair from her face and see is she is pretending!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "I tell you, get up!" "Jenny, get up!" "Don't you want to play?" "You killed her!" "How can she play?" "I can wake her up." "Now we are going for lunch." "Did you like it?" "Huh?" "Damn, I didn't expect it!" "You know what I say?" "This is the truest death I have ever seen!" "This is the resurrection!" " I did everything right?" " Great!" "Extraordinary!" "Gorgeous!" "What do we play now?" "Now we go to the table to eat the lamb with the sauce." "We'll play prisoners and guards." "Over in those bushes?" " That is the prison." " Okay, I'll watch." "Lunch will be cold if we don't go now." "Can't you see the storm coming?" "No!" "I'll be the officer, and you you have to escape to the sea." "And you kill me?" "Maybe, maybe not." "If you can make it to the sea, you stay alive." "Can I shoot?" "Yes, but you must remember ... that I shoot first." "The guards always shoot first." "Then you shoot too and we'll have a real battle." "If I make it to the sea, will I be free?" " And if I hurt you?" " Then I rip my dress." "Hands up!" "Stop!" "I have a machine gun that keeps shooting." "I tear my dress, right?" "In war, nobody rips dresses." "It's not what they do." " Sometimes they tear blankets, but not clothes." " I was told clothes." " Tell me now tear the dress?" " Of course not." "That's stupid!" "I'll give you one more chance, the last!" "And then I use the tear gas!" "It was a trap, Jenny." "I tricked you." "Even the tear gas was a trap." "I know." "The next time you trick me again, but in a different way." "And lunch?" "Come to the table?" "We don't want lunch." "Always lunch and dinner." "I'm sick of it!" "If you don't want to play right, then go home." "I was here before her!" "So what?" "Does that mean anything?" "A little, but not much." "You can't even die right." "We'll start over." "Run again." " I'd rather stand guard." " Absolutely not!" "I am a man, so I am the guard." "No!" "I also have the right to be the guard!" "Then I'll let you kill me." "You know what?" "It's worth it." "All right." "Let's go." "END"
