Kōji Takatsuki: About today... what happened? Between Janice and Yoon-A.
Yūsuke Kafuku: Only they know the answer to that. One thing I can say is that this text has the power to make that happen.
Kōji Takatsuki: Mr. Kafuku, why aren't you playing Vanya yourself?
Yūsuke Kafuku: Chekhov is terrifying. When you say his lines, it drags out the real you. Don't you feel it? I can't bear that anymore. Which means I can no longer yield myself up to this role.
Kōji Takatsuki: But then, why me? I feel out of place in this production. I'm not suited for this role. I'm sure the audience will feel the same way. When I auditioned, I was desperate and in shambles. I didn't know what I was doing. So why did you choose me?
Yūsuke Kafuku: Oto brought us together.
Kōji Takatsuki: Please don't be glib. I'm serious. I came here to change myself.
Yūsuke Kafuku: You can't control yourself very well.
Kōji Takatsuki: Right.
Yūsuke Kafuku: From a social standpoint, that's not good. But it's not necesarily a drawback for an actor. During your audition and our sessions, you weren't bad. You can yield yourself to your cast mate. Do the same to the text. Yield yourself and respond to the text.
Kōji Takatsuki: Respond to it?
Yūsuke Kafuku: The text is questioning you. If you listen to it and respond, the same will happen to you.
