JUDE
What have you done? Why did you stop me?
(Pause)
That's not your choice. It's mine.
(Pause)
You said you'd fix things. You said you'd make it better. When? I want to know when... I can't do this much longer. I'm slowly slipping away. Can you see what's happening to me? Can you see how it is all tearing me apart. I'm in pieces. It hurts so bad.
(He thinks he sees something watches from the darkness)
JUDE (CONT.)
She was there again wasn't she? She's always there. Waiting.
(Pause)
It's too late. Some things can't be fixed. Some things need to be thrown away.
(Pause)
Are you doing this for me or for yourself?
(Pause)
There is no us and I don't want there to be a me anymore.
