Trial Of Intentions

Opening Statements

He: Burning questions damage the brain
      excessive heat energizes the cells
      and activates thought processes!...
      I, always, admit to a level of responsibility
      that allows me to declare innocence... Always...

She: The square of my realism
        equals the sum of the squares of my youthful exuberance
        and my perennial stomach ache...
        I am living proof that building character
        is an actor's despair...

Cross Examination

He: All I ever wanted was the number that comes right after infinity...
She: All I ever wanted was a self I can call my own...
He: I created my own trail by dragging my tail!...
She: I was standing at a corner... Soliciting delusions to live by...
He: All my life I was dealt a bad hand... I learned to bluff!...
She: All my life the same mistake, like it is for the very first time..
He: I was looking for devils willing to deal...
She: I was looking for the 'all in' of your bluff...

Closing Arguments

He: (Of all my pauses, this must be the most meaningful...)
        Iron wall around my subconscious!
        I love living an unexamined life...
        My inner voice has nothing more to add...

She: I'll take a confused and harsh stare  
        over any frozen smile
        and I'll keep singing
        How many selves must a woman construct
        before you can call her herself?...
