Evangeline Scene 4

EVANGELINE: Thank you. Took you long enough

What is it, Evangeline?

EVANGELINE: We need to talk.

We are talking right now.

EVANGELINE: That’s not what I meant and you know it, you geezer. You rigged our bet.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, Evangeline. I think your overreactive imagination needs to be leashed.

EVANGELINE: Why can’t anyone other than Maeve see Isaac?

Because I was not going to let your childish impulses and your need to win some immature bet upset the natural order of things. You did not really think I was going to bring Isaac back from the dead for everyone to see, did you? I will not compromise on the balance of the universe.

EVANGELINE: You made a deal with me-

And I did what I said I would, I brought Isaac back. I brought him back to the only person that mattered.

EVANGELINE: …What about poor Maeve, who is gonna end up locked away because everyone thinks she’s insane? All because of what you did.

Because of what we did

EVANGELINE:…Your ego can’t handle the thought of me being right, of me winning and being a better Death than you

The universe can’t handle you being Death, Evangeline. You would throw everything into disarray. You are not made for this job because you can’t handle the hard truths of reality. The cycle of life cannot be changed.

EVANGALINE: Maybe it should be. Fix this. Bring Isaac back for real.

No.

EVANGELINE: What, are you scared of a challenge? You’re scared I’ll actually win.

I am not scared of you, Evangeline. But I will not let your games trick me into bringing Isaac fully back. Even now, there are consequences you have not yet realized. He stays as he is, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I will not let this go any further than it already has. So you might as well get used to that fact.
