Scenes with Josephine

3 scenes
Edward

Will never told you?... Ah, Probably just as well. He would have told it wrong anyway. All the facts and none of the flavor.

Josephine

Oh... so this is a tall tale?

Edward

Well, it's not a short one.

Josephine

You never told me how your parents met.

Will

They met at Auburn.

Josephine

What about the details? How they fell in love. The Circus. The War. You never told me any of that.

Will

That's because most of it never happened.

Josephine

But it's romantic.

Will

You have to understand. When I was growing up, he was gone more than he was here. And I started thinking— maybe he has a second life somewhere else. With another family, another house— he leaves us, he goes to them. Or maybe there is no second family. Maybe he never wanted a family. But whatever it is, maybe he likes that second life better. And the reason he tells all those stories is because he can't stand this boring place.

Josephine

But it's not true.

Will

What is "true"? He's never told me a single true thing.
