The Last Mile
Dominique:
Are you all right

Marjolein:
It’s panic, it’s intense anxiety
I am trying not lose my mind, I’m trying just to breath

Kurt:
We’re gonna die, there’s no way out

Marjolein:
You will walk away, Kurt you were kind to me
Back when I needed to be saved
I’ll save you now, I’ll pull it off
I just can’t figure how

Kurt:
I wish could remember
I remember nothing now

Dominique:
I’m just so scared

Marjolein:
Now Sarah she will come at us real hard
Of all the posties I’m the worst
And useless one by far
Why did it have to be me
Kurt:
Oh you’re shaking

Dominique:
We should run
You feel the ground is trembling
All the dogs are... here they come



Marjolein:
The day when you will get
The quiet smile the summer’s rest
The wistful peace I wish for you
The sunrise and the red wine too

The day when you will see
The laughing friends and autumn leaves
And lose yourself with love inside
The thing you do which gives you life

Kurt:
And past the long day straining
Into the low sky raining
It’s the way the moment goes
Into the flow sustaining
And past the breakers waning
It’s the way the water flows

When the story has consumed you
When your memories are gone
You don’t even know who had loved you
Who you loved and who you are
When you know your time is ticking
And the race is almost run
And you hope the deeds you did
In the end are good enough

And past the long day straining
Into the low sky raining
It’s the way the moment goes

Into the flow sustaining
And past the breakers waning
It’s the way the water flows

And you think was I a good guy
Did I ease a person’s pain
Did I ease somebody’s burdens
Did I make someone feel safe
I believe in stuff like kindness
Though the world might call it dumb
And I hope that in the end
I might have spread a little love
And past the long day straining
Into the low sky raining
It’s the way the moment goes

Into the flow sustaining
And past the breakers waning
It’s the way the water flows

Because now it ends in terror
Because now it ends in fear
All my memories are stolen
And my hope’s no longer here
I don’t get the happy ending
I don’t get the growing old
But I don’t want to leave in anger
With bitterness upon my soul

And past the long day straining
Into the low sky raining
It’s the way the moment goes

Into the flow sustaining
And past the breakers waning
It’s the way the water flows

Marjolein:
The day when you will get
The quiet smile the summer’s rest
The wistful peace I wish for you
The sunrise and the red wine too

The day when you will see
The laughing friends and autumn leaves
And lose yourself with love inside
The thing you do…

Sarah: Marjolein, BOO!

Dominique: They got me! They got… Ah ! AH! AH!

Marjolein: Hold on, I’m coming!

Kurt: They got me! Ah, my leg! My leg! Ah! AH!

Marjolein: Shit! Kurt!

The day when you will get
The quiet smile, the summers rest
The wistful peace I wish for you
The sunrise and the red wine too

The day when you will see
The laughing friends and autumn leaves
And lose yourself with love inside
The thing you do that gives you life

Kurt:
My leg is gone, they’ve torn it off
It’s over now, I’m done

Marjolein: I’ve got you Kurt

Kurt: You should go, really, you should run

Marjolein:
I’m staying here our last stand
It’ll be right in this spot

Kurt: Dominique, is she, I heard

Marjolein: I’m sorry she is gone

Kurt:
I wish I could remember
Life before this awful place
Its gone now all my memories
My life, my mothers face

Raven: Jill! You’re back!
Lloyd: Welcome back!
Jill: Thanks boys, its good to see you
Raven: Where’s Marjolein?
Jill: What do you mean? I left her here with you
Lloyd: We haven’t seen her since you left
Jill: Last I saw her she was going to check out some secret late night show Sarah might be involved with
Raven: Can you tell us exactly where that might be?


Kurt: Did you know me before this?

Marjolein: Kind of, yeah, a different show

Kurt:
Was I a decent person, I feel, I wish, I really hope
I made this world a better place

Marjolein:
You’ve always been the best
I promise you’re the kindest, purest soul I’ve ever met

Kurt: I’m okay if its the end

Marjolein:
All I can do I’ll try
Marjolein, just once in your life please do something right
Outside the box, think crazy, just this one thing, just this one...
Just please do one thing right...

Kurt: Here they come


Kurt: We’re alive
Marjolein: Yeah… (gasping for breath)
Sarah: Marjolein! I am legitimately impressed! Who knew you had it in you?
Marjolein: f... f... f...
Sarah: What a goood girl. It’s over now, though
Marjolein: Fuck you, Sarah
Sarah: Let’s start with the boy. Goodbye Kurt
Kurt: You are seriously messed up lady
Lloyd: Does anyone want to tell me what’s going on here?
Sarah: Shit. Dogs, get that man
Raven: Enough!
Lloyd: This is... this is a betrayal, of everything we’ve talked ab...
Sarah: Oh shut up you arrogant prick. I unlocked secrets to power you can't imagine
Raven: This is all going...
Sarah: Have a taste!
Lloyd: Wha...what was...
Raven: Wha the... how did she do that
Lloyd: I... I have no idea
Sarah: I am the master now. You’re going to star in my little show
Jill: Suck on this spell, Sarah (Blasts)
Sarah: Ow! You want some? (Boom) How about some more? (Boom)
Raven: Jill!
Lloyd: No! No, please... don’t hurt her
Sarah: I make the rules now
Lloyd: I don’t understand how this is happening
Raven: I have an idea. I’m gonna buy you some time
Lloyd: Ravy, what are you doing?
Raven: Sarah, the woman I wouldn’t have sex with if you paid me, let’s discuss your daddy issues

Your daddy didn’t love you
Cause he loved his drinking more
Couldn’t get daddy’s attention
Cause he only loved the bar

Hey, your daddy he was selfish
And a coward your mom knew
He wouldn’t have the balls to kill her
So she chose her daughter you

Your daddy should have done it
But he’s passed out on the floor
The only thing your daddy taught you
Was how to be a whore

So you wanna prove to daddy
That you’re super strong and big
And by daddy I mean Lloyd
Go get some therapy you pig

Sarah: (huffing) I...l I’m gonna... I’m gonna rip you apart!
Raven: First you gotta catch me fart face! (Softly to Lloyd) Don’t waste this. (Blips away.)
Sarah: Where’d he go... that piece of shit can’t unrun me. I’ll finish you after I decapitate your boyfriend, Lloyd. (Blips away.)

Jill: What do we do now?
Lloyd: I… (stammers) I.... don’t... know...
