Scene Three: Mystic Dharma Movie Angel
Patient 1.0 is being whispered to by the doctor in pitch darkness as they walk down a long corridor
DOCTOR: They’re keeping one very crucial thing from you this whole time. Which is that this just isn’t possible, it’s just not been done, nor do they even really want it done
PATIENT 1.0: This program?
DOCTOR: Oh no, more. The full realisation of this… whole mission.
PATIENT 1.0: Rehabilitation?
DOCTOR: Oh more, more. Much more than that. Wantlessness. Needlessness.
PATIENT 1.0: Is that what we’re aiming for doc?
DOCTOR: Aren’t we? Stop here
Panting becomes crying then stops
DOCTOR: Handle yourself. There is a very false, very hard wheel turning at the heart of this business. Can you do any characters?
PATIENT 1.0: Not really
DOCTOR: Act American
Patient 1.0 is pushed onto the set of a bizarre, red-velvet talk show hosted by a lookalike. The lights and colours blind them. There is thunderous applause. They are seated and the interview begins.
