CHASE THE MORNING

BLIND MAG:
SHILO...?  IS YOUR NAME SHILO?
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
CAN [bad word] DOWN PLEASE...
SO WE CAN SPEAK?
I SAW YOU AT THE SHOW.
I THOUGHT I’SEEN GHOST.
YOUR RESEMBLANCE IS STRIKING.
YOU HAVE YOUR MOTHER’S EYES, 
HER HAIR.
I WAS TOLD YOU DIED WITH HER.
ALL THESE YEARS [bad word] AND GONE.  
HOW DO I PUT THIS...?
I’M YOUR GODMOM.

SHILO:
STATE YOUR BUSINESS.

BLIND MAG:
BUSINESS?

SHILO:
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

BLIND MAG:
I WANT, I WANT TO FINALLY MEET YOU -
SOMETHING REAL TO CLING TO.  
LEAVE YOU WITH THE HOPE THAT 
YOU WILL GO DO ALL YOU’RE MEANT TO,
ALL I’VE FAILED TO.
IN YOU, IS WORLD OF PROMISE.
WE HAVE BOTH BEEN KEPT IN BONDAGE,
BUT YOU CAN LEARN FROM ALL MY FAILURES.

SHILO:
I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO STRANGERS.

BLIND MAG:
OR LET THEM THROUGH THE GATE?

SHILO:
THAT EITHER.  BIG RISK.

BLIND MAG:
BIG FENCE.

SHILO:
MISTAKE.

BLIND MAG:
NEW FRIEND.

DEAD MARNI:
CHASE THE MORNING.
YIELD FOR NOTHING.
CHASE THE MORNING.
YIELD FOR NOTHING.

SHILO:
HOW’YOU DO THAT?

BLIND MAG:
DO WHAT?

SHILO:
DO THAT.  THAT, THAT EYE THING.

BLIND MAG:
THESE EYES CAN DO MORE THAN SEE.

SHILO:
I KNOW--I MEAN, I’VE SEEN YOU SING.

BLIND MAG:
WHERE?

SHILO:
FROM MY WINDOW.  
I CAN SEE THE WORLD FROM THERE.
NAME THE STARS AND CONSTELLATIONS.
COUNT THE CARS AND WATCH THE SEASONS.

BLIND MAG:
I WISH WE COULD’VE WATCHED TOGETHER.

SHILO:
I CAN’T HAVE GUESTS.

BLIND MAG:
NEVER?

SHILO:
EVER.  IF DAD FOUND OUT 
THAT I’BEEN LET OUT,
OR YOU’BEEN LET IN...

BLIND MAG:
I SHOULD GO THEN.
BEFORE I DO, PROMISE ME YOU WON’T--

SHILO:
IT’S BETTER THAT YOU—

SHILO:
DON'T. FORGET ME.

'BEST
IF I RESUME MY LIFE INSIDE
MY BEDROOM.

BLIND MAG:
DON'T FORGET THAT
SHELTERED ROSE NEEDS LITTLE ROOM TO BLOOM
OUTSIDE HER BEDROOM.

DEAD MARNI:
CHASE THE MORNING. 
YIELD FOR NOTHING. 
CHASE THE MORNING. 
YIELD FOR NOTHING. 

BLIND MAG:
LET YOUR LIFE BE YOUR DREAM. 
INTEGRITY.  HONESTY.   
IT’S TOO LATE FOR ME. 
DON’T LOOK BACK ‘TIL YOU’RE FREE TO
CHASE THE MORNING…

DEAD MARNI:
YIELD FOR NOTHING. 
CHASE THE MORNING. 
YIELD FOR NOTHING. 
YIELD FOR NOTHING.
