MARIE: [Unbothered] Oh please, that doesn’t phase me. All I care about is quenching my thirst right now. The beer made me thirsty. [She tried reaching for the water once more, but Alex yet again stopped her. This time, with a more forceful grab.] ALEX: [Pleadingly] Just please, don’t drink it. MARIE: Alex, I appreciate that you care about me, but I’m sure the water won’t hurt me. [She turns to face him and catches a quick glimpse of worry washing over his face.] What, are there some drugs mixed into the water or something? [She laughs until she notices his expression went cold, with his entire demeanor turning stern and stiff.] Alex…? [Silence.] ALEX: If I said yes, would that stop you from drinking it? [He pleads once more with her, glancing intently into her eyes.] MARIE: [Worry rushes through her body] Ok, this is not funny Alex. What is going on?
ALEX: [He looks away] I… [Pause] I can’t do this. MARIE Alex, do what? Please, you’re scaring me. ALEX: I’m dropping you off at the nearest bus station. I… [Pause] I’m sorry.
MARIE: What…? [Confusion overtakes her mind, making her formulate numerous conclusions. She thinks maybe he got nervous and chickened out, or maybe he was planning to drug her this entire time and had a change of heart. She ponders if the latter is true, why that may be.] [Curtains close.]
