get lost in fake dialouges

Together


Evelyn: Did you pack the bags?

Paul: Yes, I packed  the bags while you were watching serial killer documentaries.

Evelyn: Don´t be a dick! I am the one who had to meet this fucking dealer in that underground shamehole.

Paul: Did you get the guns as well?

Evelyn: You said we weren´t going to need guns.

Paul: Jesus, you had one thing to do!

Evelyn: We agreed, we weren´t going to need guns.

Paul: We didn´t agree on anything. I told you to take care of the fucking guns and you decided not to do it.

Evelyn: What the hell do we need guns for? We´ll meet this guy in this bar, poison his drink, act surprised when he dies before our very eyes, tell the police about his unhealthy lifestyle and how he had a heart attack coming anyway and then go home. That´s the plan. I am not intending to wear a fucking gun, while the police is asking me, why we had dinner with a fucking loan shark.

Paul: Will you at least bring the pepper spray?

Evelyn: Of course I will bring the  pepper spray. It´s totally natural for a woman to bring pepper spray with her, ´cause women live in constant fear of being raped by an arab guy. So stop panicking.

Paul: I am not panicking.

Evelyn: Why do I always have to be the man?

Paul: Maybe because you can´t stop taking control.

Evelyn (sighs): I have the feeling this would be a lot easier if there was less aggression in our relationship. In fact we need to look relaxed this evening and should´nt be fighting constantly.

Paul: Oh you´re the one complaining about the aggression in our relationship. Weren´t you the one who told me I should go and fuck the dog I call my mother? I am sure this would be considered as an act of physical abuse in family court.

Evelyn: If you want to go to court, fine! I am sure they will be very interested in the stories about the way you financed our lifestyle.

Paul: Maybe you won´t even make it to court.

Evelyn: Are you threatening to kill me now?

Both pause and stare at each other in disbelieve.

Paul: I think this has gone way out of hand. We need to calm down and do this the most professional way we could come up with. This is hard for both of us and we need to support each other, not to eat each other alive.

Evelyn: I am sorry. The whole thing just gets to me. I mean, we´re about to kill a guy. He was a criminal with no conscience but still, does he deserve to die? I just can´t handle the idea that this is going to stay with me forever.

Paul: It´s gonna stay with US forever. Do you remember when we found my Mum at the foot of the stairs with her neck broken?

Evelyn: Of course I remember your Mum.

Paul: This is going to stay with us forever as well. But we managed to get through it together.

Evelyn: I just don´t know what I would do without you.

Paul: Let´s just get this over with. Remember to repeat "I can´t believe, this is happening", while the police is questioning you. You need to appear shocked and confused, then they don´t expect logical answers.

Evelyn: Let´s go and kill this guy, together.

Paul: Together!
