(Breaking character) No, you're not listening. These people are<br />

expecting a show. (Slowly advancing toward Stephanie) And this<br />

throwing out murder accusations and "I need to help to find and<br />

punish" who-ever-ta'-fuck act is not exactly gripping material.<br />

Alright? So why don't you just take a load off and chillax (putting a<br />

hand on her shoulder) II I swear you'll feel better.<br />

(Addressing the audience once again) Hello, everybody?! Can I get<br />

someone to turn on their mobile and record a statement to show to the<br />

guards? I know it says you're not allowed but this is an emergency.<br />

Why is nobody moving?<br />

an appeal. If anybody knows anything, please and then I walked in front of a train,<br />

They both are frustrated by each other's refusal to shut up. They continue to compete for the<br />

audience's attention.<br />

WILLIAM<br />
