Picture 257

 

SAMUEL

Sometimes a family gets taken away from you, as in both our cases- but it can be possible to pick a new family.

 

CASEY

What’s that mean?

 

SAMUEL

It means we could be family to each other.

 

CASEY

You can’t just “make” a family. You’re born with one. Like it or not.

 

SAMUEL

And I believe if you don’t like what the cards say you can choose again.

 

CASEY

Me? Out of all the cards in the world- you are choosing me?

 

SAMUEL

I choose you. And I’d like you to choose me. We can live here together as a family.

 

CASEY

You nuts? What for?

 

SAMUEL

Because I never had a chance to teach any of my daughters how to be ladies.

 

They stop and stare at the rippling waters…

 

SAMUEL

There is an expression, that goes…embrace the tiger.

 

CASEY

Huh?

 

SAMUEL

It’s a Chinese saying for learning to love our fears. Our demons.

 

CASEY

What for?

 

SAMUEL

So that then you can control them and they not you.

CASEY

Of what? What were you scared of?

 

Samuel looks at Casey in the most serious light.

 

SAMUEL

Of you.

 

CASEY

Me?

 

SAMUEL

Of your ignorance. Nothing on earth frightens me so much as that.
