8. Private Pool

Emma:”They’re bees.”

P:”I heard you.”

Emma:”They need your consideration.”

P:”They do?

I’m just a human.

Insects don’t care about us.”

Emma:”Hum?”

P:”They were there before us.

They’ll be there after us.”

Emma:”It’s terrible.”

P:”What is?”

Emma:”You can really imagine your own end.

The end of humans.

A planet without any humans?”

P:”It happened before.

Surely it will happen again.”

Emma:”Hum…”

She looks at him.

He’s on his phone.

Fully clothed.

He’s not going to jump in.

P:”You come here often?”

Emma:”Sometimes.”

P:”That’s a place for you, right?”

Emma:”Mostly?”

P:”It tops the view.

You’re on a large terrace.

And the wind’s good.

Just the right amount of light too.”

Emma:”It’s great.”

P:”Yeah.”

Emma:”…”

P:”You guys don’t get to public pools.”

Emma:”No.”

P:”Why?”

Emma:”It’s dangerous.”

P:”He said that?”

Emma:”Yes.”

P:”Figures, it’s just like him.”

Emma:”You went there?”

P:”Not really.”

Emma:”You always give weird answers.”

P:”I did.

But…”

Emma:”What?”

P:”I wasn’t authorized to.”

Emma:”What did you do?”

P:”It’s just…”

Emma:”Tell.

Tell the things.”

P:”Just…

Naked.”

Emma:”That’s it?”

P:”Well.”

Emma:”Right now, you’re just wearing a suit.”

P:”Yes.”

Emma:”It’s not much more.”

P:”Even if…”

Emma:”Grown ups…

They never grown up.”

R:”They never do.”

Emma:”Hey.

You’re not with us.”

P:”What was that?”

R:”…”

P:”Is there an emergency?”

R:”Emergencies…

There never is any emergencies.”

Emma:”Where are you going?”

R:”Getting drinks.

Is there anything special?”

Emma:”Just…

Do you need help?”

R:”I’m fine.

You 2 stay here and enjoy yourself.”

P:”Other people come here?”

Emma:”Just her.”

P:”Her?”

Emma:”She’s Blue.

She needs water.”

P:”?”

Emma:”You.

She showed you the deep pool.”

P:”Yeah.”

Emma:”Then you must understand.”

P:”You’re making a fuss?”

Emma:”Yes.”

P:”Why?”

Emma:”I don’t know.”

P:”You’re getting mad?”

Emma:”No.”

P:”Alright.”

Emma:”She’s blue.”

P:”You said that.”

Emma:”Where else do you want to go?

What do you want to see?”

P:”You got the holidays planned already.”

Emma:”Yes.

But you could participate.

Or maybe it’s too difficult for you?”

P:”So…”

Emma:”?”

P:”No one else comes to this pool?”

Emma:”Just her.”

P:”And this apartment?”

Emma:”It’s Co-ordained.”

P:”What does it mean?”

Emma:”I don’t know.

I think they share it.”

P:”…”

Emma:”It’s owned by 2 persons.

Or, it’s managed by 2 persons?”

P:”You’re sure?”

Emma:”It’s really complicated.

It hurts just to think about it.”

P:”Yeah…”

R:”Here you go.”

Emma:”Thanks very.”

P:”?”

Emma:”It’s like Thanks-thanks.”

P:”You never said that before.”

R:”For you.”

P:”?

What’s that?”

R:”Is it distasteful?”

P:”No.

It’s-

What’s that?”

Emma:”Ginger Ale.

You don’t know anything.” dancing

P:”Ginger?

It’s not red.”

R:”…” smiling

Emma:”It’s about the taste.

The taste.

Try this 1.”

P:”?

Emma:”Juice-Juice.”

P:”-this.”

Emma:”It’s the same as Double Juice.”

P:”Which fruit?”

Emma:”Hey?”

P:”Which fruit juice is it?”

R:”That’s quite a long sentence.”

Emma:”Hum…

Juice is Juice.”

P:”I suppose…”

R:”…”

P:”Yours.”

R:”I doubt you’ll enjoy it.”

P:”1 sip.”

Emma:”Me too!”

R:”Come on…”

Emma:”Hum…

Sometimes it’s difficult to be little.”

Emma:”But you did.”

P:”Just don’t.”

R:”Ask.”

P:”What’s this shit?”

R:”Carbon Mint.”

Emma:”You know this drink?”

P:”…”

R:”You seemed to like it.

Until you reached the glass’ bottom.

Maybe you’d need a Virgin one.”

P:”Virgin from what?”

R:”Life.”

P:”Life…”

R:”Until Life passes on you…”

Emma:”…”

P:”?”
