Mason: I just feel like there are so many things that I could be doing and probably want to be doing that I'm just not.
Sheena: Why aren't you?
Mason: I mean, I guess it's... just being afraid of what people would think. You know, judgement.
Sheena: Yeah. I guess it's really easy to say, like "I don't care what anyone else thinks." But everyone does, you know?
Mason: Exactly.
Sheena: Deep down.
Mason: I find myself so furious at all these people that I am in contact with just for... controlling me or whatever, but you know, they are not even aware they are doing it.
Sheena: Yeah. [beat] So, in this perfect world, where no one's controlling you—what's different? What changes?
Mason: Everything. I mean, I just wanna be able to do anything I want, because it makes me feel alive. As opposed to giving me the appearance of normality.
Sheena: Whatever that means.
Mason: I don't think it means much.
Sheena: You're kinda weird, you know that?
Mason: Yeah? Is that a compliment?
Sheena: I don't know. Do you wanna be weird?
Mason: I mean, I don't wanna like scare kids at the park, or anything like that. [pause] I really like talking with you. I don't usually even try to like vocalize my thoughts, or feelings or anything. Just— I don't know, it never sounds right. Words are stupid.
Sheena: So why are you trying with me?
Mason: I don't know. I guess I feel comfortable.
Sheena: I'm glad.
Sheena: Why aren't you?
