What are you doing?
MARINA
I'm writing you a letter.
E Writing me...?
MARINA A letter. Yes.
E
About what?
MARINA You'll see.
E When?
MARINA When I send it.
E And that will be?
MARINA You'll see.
E I have a recollection. Of another letter.
MARINA Sure.
E
Will it be anything like that one?
MARINA I can't say.
E You–
MARINA I don't remember that one.
E You must.
MARINA I don't.
E
And?
MARINA Was it full of concern?
E
To a degree.
MARINA Wasn't me.
E I have it in your hand.
MARINA A fraud.
E
You wrote about sadness and holes and crystals–
MARINA And bags for short journeys–
E And the smell of asphalt.
MARINA I would never.
E Right now. You're writing right now.
MARINA I'm not.
E You are.
MARINA Not like that.
E Read it to me then.
MARINA Letters are read not recited. They're sent and received. If I were writing a speech, you'd know.
E Don't worry about me.
MARINA I'm not worried. It's not concerned, it's, um...
E (laughs) You know it sounds like worry.
MARINA I could never sound like that.
E
I know. That's why you write letters.
