      the window is killing you?

      it’s so terribly full of glass

      I see

      theres just glass all over it

      i don’t know how you stand it

      oh

      I manage

      i dont think ill make it through the night

      well I’ll be here if you need me

      and to think i once stepped outside the house

      to stand in the sun

      yes, I remember that day

      what a strong and foolhardy girl i was then

      dear Laurie

      dearest Laurie

      surely at this point you know

      i can’t possibly marry you

      i’m so sorry

      please try to forgive me

      Jo

      of course I’ll respect your wishes

      but why?

      there’s no one who knows you better

      i know that

      we have such fun together

      we do!

      and you’re dear to me

      and jolly

      and clever

      cleverer than me anyhow

      and I

      I do love you

      most awfully, Jo

      Laurie, I can’t

      please don’t ask me again

      I can’t help but ask

      and I can’t give you any answer but no

      all right

      all right

      Oh Meg, darling

      it’s all over

      Beth is with Father now

      Jo, Father still isn’t dead

      really?

      I saw him not four hours ago

      could have sworn he died at sea

      or somewhere

      Jo, I’m sorry about what I said the other day

      I know how you feel about marriage

      and — and everything

      Oh, Laurie

      that’s all right

      you’ll never marry anyone

      your writing is too important

      that comes first

      oh

      I do admire you for that, really I do

      you’re going to do tremendous things

      that’s awfully kind of you to say

      and I count myself lucky to know you

      I do, Jo

      we’ll be old bachelors together

      you and I

      well

      ah

      the thing is, chum

      running a cattle ranch

      somewhere out West

      turns out I am going to be married after all

      I’ve met someone, I mean

      please understand I never intended to

      he’s the most wonderful man

      very old

      much older than me

      oh

      he’s German

      very German

      so German it’s hard to understand him at first when he speaks

      and you’re going to marry

      him

      with yourself

      you’re going to be marrying him yourself I mean

      his mustache is enormous

      bushy and gray and covered in crumbs

      all of him is covered in crumbs

      he’s filthy haha

      well that’s just

      oh and he just hates my writing

      criticizes my work unceasingly

      I see

      i really cannot overemphasize

      how much he disapproves of my voice as a writer

      wants me to change everything about it

      well

      how can I compete with that

      exactly

      please don’t blame yourself

      Hamlet

      Part V

      darling I don’t mean to criticize but

      you really hurt your father’s feelings last night

      hes not my real dad

      why do you even like him

      Henry David Thoreau

      im going to the woods ok

      okay

      im going to live deliberately

      with essential facts

      im going to suck all the marrow out of the trees

      okay

      so dont follow me

      how long are you going?

      i dont know

      however long it takes to live deliberately

      so maybe a few months

      or maybe forever gonna live in a cabin

      well

      i’m happy for you

      can i use your cabin

      you want to live in my cabin?

      well i dont have a cabin

      i need to be self sufficient

      so i need to use your cabin

      hey do you mind if i have some friends over to the cabin

      how’s it going out there

      are you living deliberately

      yeah pretty deliberately i guess

      but its pretty boring out here without friends over

      i guess so

      as long as you keep things tidy

      there’s not room for many other people

      no for sure for sure for sure

      just the alcotts

      and the hawthornes

      and ellery is already here

      he is?

      yeah he sleeps on the floor by me

      plus people are always stopping by to see me

      and my self sufficient cabin

      you mean my self sufficient cabin

      the self sufficient cabin

      anyhow

      i invited a lot of them to spend the night too

      the more the merrier thats my motto

      just me and the lonely whispering of the wind among the reeds

      and also the alcotts and the hawthornes

      and my best friend ellery

      and anyone else who happens to come by

      that’s

      a lot of people

      twenty five or thirty souls, with their bodies,

      at once under my roof

      give or take

      hey do you want to come over

      i just stole some pies

      what

      this lady just left out pies on her porch

      so i took em

      self sufficiently

      i don’t think that’s very self sufficient

      well i don’t think you’re very

      shut up just come over

      just come over to the damn woods

      you know what i think are brave

      what

      minks

      and muskrats

      awfully brave

      not like the great mass of mankind

      what’s so brave about them

      you wouldn’t understand

      hey would you bring some more molasses if you’re coming back

      tomorrow

      im all out

      how much molasses do you need

      i dont know

      obviously

      clearly if id known from the beginning i wouldn’t need more now

      so i guess “more” is the answer

      why don’t you just come over

      and you can get all the molasses you need

      and you can stay in town for a few nights

      i think maybe that would be a good idea

      no way man

      no way

      your life is a hollow shell

      no offense but id rather die than stay at your house

      just bring the molasses when you come over tomorrow

      and also some more shoes because i lost the last pair

      and some books

      and pens i need pens

      but thats it

      and a thing of beans

      thats for sure it

      do you know whos my family ralph

      who

      these squirrels

      these squirrels and this chipmunk and that crow over there

      the crow on the chimney?

      NO

      not that one

      god i hate that one

      hes not my family

      hes a fucking asshole

      The Island of Dr. Moreau

      what do you think would happen

      if you mixed a hyena and a man together

      Daisy Miller

      Part II

      hi Daisy

      hi

      so I feel like I have to tell you something

      normally I wouldn’t say anything but I feel like

      we’re friends now

      how kind of you

      anyhow I just thought you should know

      that there’s someone in Vevey going around impersonating you

      some sort of…coquette

      coquette?

      what I mean is

      last night Mrs. Sanders saw someone dressed just like you

      having dinner

      in a restaurant

      is that all?

      a restaurant with MALE waiters

      oh

      naturally I told her it couldn’t have been you

      and that you’d sooner commit suicide

      than eat dinner off a plate a male stranger had touched

      that’s very kind of you

      but I’m afraid it must have been me she saw

      oh

      you know in New York we eat dinner from all kinds of waiters

      all the time

      oh my god

      how fun for you

      New York sounds just

      it just sounds

      Marius

      I’m concerned that you don’t really understand

      the reason for our movement

      oh my god

      what do you mean

      I sometimes question your commitment to the cause

      how could you possibly even question that

      I don’t know, Marius

      maybe it’s because you have missed every one of

      our clashes with the police

      because you were still studying for the bar

      to bring down the system from within!

      Marius

      your father is a baron

      He’s an actual baron

      well

      only a Napoleonic baron

      that’s still a baron

      well when you say it like that

      how did i say it

      i don’t know

      it’s just how you said it

      are you coming or not?

      i’m definitely so much coming for sure

      haha prisoner

      “jail guy”

      ANYHOW

      on my way rn

      oh hold up do you guys want me to bring anything??

      Marius
