What Do You Want
From Chelsea Wiki
Scene 1 Act 1: The children are sitting on a fence in a field of grass next to a tree. They are on acid. Two scruffy dogs, one with an ear missing, the other with a bald patch on its rear, are alternating between tearing each other to shreds and jumping for joy. They are concurrently sitting in a bare room facing each other over a small, square, wooden table. They are also at the train station and the boy is very angry.
Boy:What do you want? Girl: When I was a little girl I wanted to be a train driver with ten children. Boy: I have thought about living in a little cottage with roses around the door. Like you, I have had dreams, I have been romantic. I have wanted to understand the world, to understand myself. Girl: I am trying to envoke that inexplicable yearning for something incomprehensible, unknowable. That something which I have sometimes felt half fullfilled in moments of bliss and contentment. I have seen my future self and I am not me. I am an imaginary being. Boy: My mother believes in me. She believes that if I want something to happen, I can make it happen. Girl: Do you think we will recognise our dreams when they come to us and we are not ready as we never will be? Radio: Change your life, change yourself. The self-help doctrine. If you can’t change the weather, just change your perceptions. Delude yourself. Delusions are not only just as good as reality, they are reality. Boy: Lets change the subject. Girl: What do you want to talk about?
