(Lights
come up on PEGGY)
PEGGY
Poor, Kate. I wish I could do something about those girls.
DAVID
(Enters)
I think it is more important to help Kate and Rick.
PEGGY
What are you doing back here?
DAVID
Have you noticed that you’re stuck?
PEGGY
What do you mean?
DAVID
You’re stuck… stuck between realities. Neither on heaven or earth… only watching.
PEGGY
(Scared)
How did I get stuck?
DAVID
The minute you felt lost, you were stuck. It’s like the afterlife’s flypaper.
PEGGY
Why are you helping me, David? Are you here to stop me? Aren’t you the bad guy?
DAVID
It’s strange, but I want to help you.
PEGGY
But you’re not supposed to, are you?
DAVID
I don’t know. I don’t seem to be bound by any rules that I know of.
PEGGY
I can’t trust you, David. Anything you say could be a lie.
DAVID
Look. I’m about as clueless as you in all this. I’ve been sent here too for some reason
but I’m not quite sure why. I thought maybe it was to help you. I do want to help you.
PEGGY
I want to trust you, but I’ve been warned not to.
(Sighs)
Beside, I don’t even know what I’m doing here anyway.
DAVID
I think you’re here to get Rick and Kate together.
PEGGY
Rick and Kate?
DAVID
Can’t you see it? Kate is madly in love with Rick. Rick needs someone…
PEGGY
I guess…
DAVID
You still love Rick, don’t you?
PEGGY
I do… I’m trying to bury the feelings but I can’t.
DAVID
It’s okay to love Rick. But you have to decide if it’s okay to let him love someone
else.
PEGGY
That’s not up to me.
DAVID
Maybe it is.
PEGGY
What do you mean?
DAVID
Maybe he can’t love someone else until you release him.
PEGGY
You don’t think he can love someone else until I let him.
DAVID
He is bound to your spirit until you release him.
PEGGY
I hate to admit it, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about.
DAVID
I read a lot of philosophy… Plato, Socrates…
PEGGY
(Remembering)
Rick read stuff like that too.
DAVID
Release him, Peggy.
PEGGY
I don’t know if I can.
